1. Pinning the machine to the three point linkage.
2. Fix the hydraulic lower link (4) in such a way that the machine
cannot swing out sideways.
3. Push in the support foot (5) and secure.
- Before using for the first time, the length of the drive shaft must be
checked and adjusted if necessary (see also supplement B "Drive
shaft adaption").
Connecting hydraulic system to the tractor
For reasons of accident prevention the p.t.o. must
be switched off and the rotors must come to a stand
still before raising the side rotors.

Connecting hydraulic system to the tractor
For reasons of accident prevention the p.t.o. must
be switched off and the rotors must come to a stand
still before raising the side rotors.
- Only connect hydraulic system to the tractor when stopcock is
closed (position A).
Note
Hydraulic line L1 is available in every model.
For machines with hydraulic wheel adjusting equipment it is
necessary to have a second simple functioning hydraulic connection
on the tractor. The two-way stopcock (H2) is connected to this.
If the tractor only has one hydraulic connection, then instead
of a two-way stopcock (H2), a three-way stopcock (order no.
445.059) and the plug (order no. 448.051) which goes with it can
be fitted.
This means any individual hydraulic circuit can be selected.
With this connection variation, the backflow choke
valve (D) may not be removed.
Position A: Stopcock closed.
Position E1: Swivelling of outer rotors.
Position E2: Swivelling of wheels.

Conversion from transport to working position
Safety Precaution!
Changing from working position to transport position is only to be
carried out on even, firm ground.
- Stopcock opened (position E)
- Make sure that the swivelling area is free
and that no one is in danger.
Attention! The order of operation must be adhered to
When converting to working position (tedding position):
1. Firstly, lower the whole implement to the ground using the tractor's lifting gear. The
implement must stand on the ground on the two centre wheels with the outer rotors
still swivelled up.
2. Only now can the outer rotors be swivelled down into the working position.
Position servo-valve (ST) briefly at "lift" and simultaneously pull on rope (S).
In so doing, mechanical locks are eased.
3. Position tractor's servo-valve (ST) at "lower". The rotor is swivelled down to working
position.
4. Pin the bolts on the slewing headstock (SB) into position A.
Important!
Only reposition bolts when the machine is in the raised position.

General guidelines for working
with the machine
All work in the immediate area of the rotors may
only be carried out when the p.t.o. is switched off.
#AUTION
$O 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.
4HREEPOINT SLEWING HEADSTOCK "type N"
- Lift three point follower machine before going around
sharp bends and when reversing.
Beware!
Machine swings automatically back to
central position when lifted and is locked
into position. Take care that the swinging
machine does not endanger anybody
and does not hit solid obstacles. When
lowering the machine the locking devise
is automatically lifted.
Operating on slopes
4AKE NOTE -ACHINE WITH THREEPOINT SLEWING HEADSTOCK "type N"
If the implement is being raised by the lifting gear whilst travelling in a curve, the
implement swings automatically into the central position. If working on slopes
this can lead to dangerous situations,
partly due to the balance weight of the
implement (tipping, slipping, material
breakage etc.).
The function of the shock absorbtion
struts is to allow the swinging procedure
to be executed slowly and continuously,
not in jerks and jolts.
Shock absorbtion struts
/PTIONAL EXTRA
Shock absorbtion struts (D) are recommended for work
on slopes as they increase travel safety.
!DJUSTMENT
By turning the hexagonal nut (SK) the initial tension
of the disk spring and, with that, the pressure on the
friction elements (R) on the rod can be altered.
6ARIATION
STANDARD EQUIPMENT
Adjustment
- Adjust length of upper link
(9) so that rotors are inclined
forward and spring tines
lightly touch the ground (see
chapter "Adjustment of rotor
inclination" also). Check upper
link (9) adjustment regularly
during work operation.
Setting lower link:
- Tractor's lower link (U) must
be set so that there is no
sideways play in order to
prevent tedder from swinging
back and forth.
Tractor control device (ST)
- Put tractor control device (ST) into "free gear"
(floating position or "lower").
In this way the rotors adapt to uneven ground.

Clearing field edges (border tedding) to the left or to the right
Clearing field edges can be carried out by swinging the runner wheel.
1.) Swinging of a single runner wheel on machines without central adjusting
equipment
- Press down the adjusting lever (7).
- Swing the wheels to the right or to the left.
- Lock the adjusting lever into the desired position.
2.) Swinging the runner wheel hydraulically on machines
with central adjusting equipment
- Open stopcock (position E with two-way stopcock).
Position E1 when using a three-way stopcock (see also chapter
"HITCHING").
- Operate servo-valve on the tractor.
To swing the runner wheel left move servo-valve to "lift" position. To
swing runner wheel right move servo-valve to "lower" position.
3.) Swinging the runner wheel mechanically on machines
with central adjusting equipment
- Release locking bolts by pulling the rope (S).
- Turn the tractor wheels in the direction of the field edge and drive
forward at the same time. The machine's runner wheels swing in
the opposite direction.
- Let go of the rope (S) and make sure that the locking bolts are
correctly engaged.
Note
The slanting axles make border tedding possible with the three point machines. In this working position
the swivel area (9) is used to its full extent.
When driving around bends away from the edge of the field or at the end of the field, the machine must
therefore be lifted.
Attention!
The machine swings back into the central position.

Pinning positions for lifting cylinder
From 2006 model:
A second pinning position has been added to
mainframe.
Position 1
- This position enables rotor to adapt better to the ground
(swivel range is increased approx. 200 mm)
- therefore less ground clearance in the pre turn-over
position
Position 2
- More ground clearance in the pre turn-over position
- therefore less ground adaptation when operating.
Maintenance and servicing
In order to keep the machine in good condition even after a longer
period of operation, please observe the following notes:
- After the first hours of operation, tighten all screws.
In particular the tine connections (12 kpm), the tine bar connections
(9 kpm) and the slewing headstock connections should be
checked.
- Always keep the stipulated air pressure in the tyres.
- Grease the lubrication points in accordance with the regulation (see
lubrication schedule).
Grease the lubrication nipples with universal grease after every 20
hours of operation.
- Before leaving the machine over winter, oil all the joints well and
grease all bearings.
Intake transmission
The intake transmission runs in oil which must be
renewed or added to after every year of operation:
- Pour gear lubricant oil into the intake
transmission (see enclosure on fuel
regulation).
Changing tines
- Remove broken tine after loosening the hexagonal nut and fit new
tine.
- For correct fitting observe the direction of the rotors!
- Tighten hexagonal screw with 12 daNm (= 12 kpm).
- Fit the safety shackle correctly (longer side (6) outside)!
Gas container
"EWARE
No welding, soldering or mechanical works of any kind may
be carried out on the container.
Note
According to manufacturer's
information all gas
containers have a slight
pressure drop after a certain
amount of time.
The gas loss (nitrogen)
amounts to 2-3 % per
year.
After 4-5 years it is
recommended that
container pressure be
checked and if necessary
corrected.
