Driving on public roads (M)
Observe the official regulations of your country.
Travelling on open roads may only be carried out as
described in chapter "Transport position".
Swing machine to central position (M).
Close all hydraulic circuits (A).
Protection devices must be in proper condition.
Before travelling bring all swivelling parts into their
correct positions and secure against dangerous
changes to position.

Important information can also be found in the
supplement of this operating manual.
Hydraulic lower link
- Fix the hydraulic lower link (U) in such a way that the
machine cannot swing out sideways.
Take care when turning on slopes!
The tractor's travelling characteristics are
influenced by the weight (G) of the rotor
unit. This can lead to dangerous situations,
especially on slopes.
Danger of tipping occurs
when the rotor units are in a raised position
when travelling in a curve with the rotor units raised
Safety advice
• Reduce speed in curves accordingly.
• It is better to travel in reverse on a slope than
to carry out a risky turning manoeuvre.

Important points befor starting work
1. Turn p.t.o. on.
Turn the p.t.o. on only when all safety devices (coverings,
protective aprons, casings, etc.) are in proper condition
and attached to the implement in the correct protective
positions.
2. Switch-on the machine only in working position
and do not exceed the prescribed power take-
off speed (for example max. 540 rpm).
A transfer, which is located near the gear, advises which
p.t.o. speed your machine is equipped for.
P.t.o. speed
-
P.t.o. speed max. = 540 rpm
The most favourable p.t.o. rpm is
about 450 rpm.
- Should the forage be pulled back from the swath into
the raked strips (untidy operation), then the p.t.o. rpm
is to be reduced.
Hydraulic control device (ST)
- Put hydraulic control device (ST) into "free gear" (floating
position or "lower").
Safety
hints!
(see supplement-
A1 points 1, 2, 3
and 4)
All work in the
immediate area
of the rotors may
only be carried
out when the
p.t.o. is switched
off.
General guidelines for working with the
machine
Caution!
Do not enter rotor area while driving motor
is running.
- Choose the speed of travel so that all crops are picked
up thoroughly.
- In cases of overloading, shift down one gear.
- In order to obtain tidy raking operation, the rotor must
be as horizontal as possible. A very slight inclination
forward is allowed.
- The tine height is adjusted using the crank handle (8).
Tines should lightly touch the ground. An adjustment
that is to deep will dirty the forage or damage the
turf.
Setting the feeler wheel (optional equipment)
- The tine height is set by inserting the linch pin in the
relevant position.
Tines should lightly touch the ground.
An adjustment that is to deep will dirty the forage or
damage the turf.

1000_GB-Multitast_243
GB
Swather with „MULTITAST“ system
General
Machines with the ”MULTITAST” system have feeler wheels installed. The rotor units are therefore not rigidly fixed, but
can be swung up and down (approx. 4°) through hinges.
Using the feeler wheel enables the tines to attain optimum ground adaption (4°) even on extremely uneven surfaces.
As the tines are located quite close to the feeler wheel they are able to follow the uneven ground optimumly. The result
is very tidy raking.
Important!
Converting to the
relative operation
is described on
the next page.
Please follow
the directions
exactly in order to
prevent damage
to the machine.
THE SYSTEM "MULTITAST"
Machine with feeler wheel:
Machine with feeler wheel:
- the front axle faces forward
- the front axle faces forward
- the rear axle faces the rear
- the rear axle faces the rear
Machine without feeler wheel:
Machine without feeler wheel:
- the front axle does not face forward
- the front axle does not face forward
- likewise, the rear axle does not face the rear
- likewise, the rear axle does not face the rear

GB
THE SYSTEM "MULTITAST"
Converting to operation without feeler
wheel
1. Remove axle (Pos. 4b)
2. Remove 6 (M14 x 35) screws
3. Swivel the axle bearer around 180° to the rear (4a) and
refit
4. Refit the axle (pos. 4)
5. Aline both rotary units as parallel as possible on even
ground
6. Remove hydraulic cylinder (Hyd) and fit conversion kit
spindle (6)
- Adjust the spindle (6) so that the rotor tines are
positioned as parallel as possible to the ground
(A1).
7. Correctly set the distance (X1) using threaded spindle
- see chapter ”Attaching to the Tractor” also.
8. Remove (2) feeler wheel
Converting to operation with feeler
wheel
1. Only install feeler wheel (2) left (see accompanying
retrofit manual for feeler wheel 243,32,001,0)
2. Lower both rotary units onto even ground
3. Remove accompanying spindle (6)
4. Install hydraulic cylinder (Hyd)
5. Correctly set the distance (X1) using threaded
spindle
- see chapter ”Attaching to the Tractor” also.
Using the machine without the feeler wheel
Particular operating conditions require that the feeler
wheel (2) be removed.
When working without the feeler wheel (2) the turning
joint of the rotary unit must be fixed. Otherwise the
rotary unit will tip down and the tines will then dig into
the ground.
However ground adaption with a fixed turning joint is no
longer optimal. For this reason, this type of operation
should be avoided as often as possible.
