within the meaning of the product liability legislation. In
accordance with the laws of product liability, entrepre-
neurial property damages are excluded from the liability.
All damage to property within the meaning of the product
liability legislation is regarded as damage caused by the
implement but not to the implement.
These Operating Instructions are integral part of the imple-
ment delivery scope. You should therefore hand them over to
the new owner if ownership of the implement is transferred.

to transport position, and vice versa, only on
level, firm ground!
DANGER
Life-threatening danger exists through moving parts
when changing from transport to working position.
• Make sure that the swivel range is clear and
that no-one is standing in the danger area.
• Switch on the PTO shaft drive only after all
guards have been moved to the working
position.
• Do not enter the danger zone yourself.
TIP
The rotors should be lowered in one go. If stopped in the
meantime, undefined lifting and lowering movements of
individual rotors may occur.
Lowering the rotor
TIP
Only for hydraulic rake height adjustment:
Lowering or raising the rotors in the transport position for
the purpose of unlocking the bolt is only possible if both
rotors are set to working width via the comfort control.
1. Release the locking bolts by simultaneously:
a. Setting the control unit 1 (rotor arms) to "Raise"
b. Pulling on the rope (or pushing the comfort-control
button)

2. Unlock the transport safeguard flap by setting control
unit 2 (double-acting) to "Raise". And lift the transport
safety flap up to the clearance position (F).
TIP
If you move beyond the free-travel drive position (F),
the transport safety flap will fall back down (K).
If this happens: Move the excavation flap downwards
and raise the transport safety flap until it is back in the
free-travel drive position (F).
STOP
F
K
TIP
To stop the folding of the rotor arms from the transport
position to the headland, actuate the wire rope hoist or
the comfort control (option)
3. Swivel rotor arms in working position by moving control
unit 1 (single-acting) to float position.
4. If tine arms have been removed:
TIP
When the TOP 962 C is in the transport position, the tine
arms must always be removed in order to conform with
the statutory transport height.
With the TOP 842 C, the tine arms must be removed to
attain a transport height of 3.6 m.
a. Refit the removed tine arms
CAUTION
Risk of injury through ejected tine rotor
• Observe the direction of rotation of the
tines and the spring pins when reat-
taching the tines. The spring pin must
close in the rotation direction.
• Check the spring cotter pins for
damage, deformation, and that spring
clamps are functioning.
b. Extending the rotor arms (TOP 962 C only)
In order to fold the hoop guard to the next stage, extend
the tine arm until the pointer (2) reaches the folding area
(3).

1. Swivel the rotor arms in working position by moving
control unit 1 (single-acting) to the float position.
- The cardan shaft drive does not have to be switched
off.
TIP
In the working position, switch the tractor's control valve
to the float position so that a clean ground adaptation of
the rotor units results.

1. Swivel the rotor arms to the headland position by moving
control unit 1 (single-acting) to "Raise".
Operate control unit 1 until the height no longer changes.
(If the headland height is not appropriate see "Setting
headland height")
Settings on rotor chassis
Requirements:
- level and firm ground
- 1.5 bar pressure in all tyres
- The machine is attached to the tractor and in the working
position
1. Set cross slope
The rotor chassis should be slightly inclined to
the swath side to ensure clean rake work. The side
rake start should be approx. 1.0-1.5 cm higher.
1. Lower the rotor unit using the crank handle
(1) until the inner tines just touch the ground.
TIP
After adjustment, secure the crank (1) using the
retaining clip.

2. Set the outer tines to approx. 1.0 - 1.5 cm above
the ground.
TIP
All wheels (a, b, c) can be adjusted using
the eccentric screw.
