ADJUSTMENTS BEFORE OPERATION

Adjustment of rotor inclination

Safety points

• Turn engine off when adjustment, service and repair

work is to be done.

• Do not work under the machine without safe

support.

Implement with slewing headstock "N"

The cog enables the darrier axles to be adjusted within a swivel

range of 10°.

1 setting = 1° alteration to rotor inclination

A lot of fodder = greater angle

Not much fodder = smaller angle

Driving on public roads:

• Observe the ofﬁcial regulations of your country.

• Travelling on open roads may only be carried out as described

in chapter "Transport position".

Total implement width in the working position: more than 3

Total implement widht in the transport position: see Techn.

Data

• Always swing the outer rotors in before transporting.

Only in this position is the maximum permissable

transport width not exceeded.

No-one can be injured by the rotor tines in this

position.

Hydraulic lower link

- Fix the hydraulic lower link (U) in such a way that the machine

cannot swing out sideways.

Tine adjustment

Tine position can be altered

by turning the tine carrier

(80).

• Position "S1"

Standard position (ex facto-

ry)

• Position "S2"

For use under difﬁcult condi-

tions, e. g. with very dense,

awkward forage. This tine

position increases the strewing action.

• Direction of rotation "R"

Be aware of this when installing tines.

TRANSPORTPOSITION

WORKINGPOSITION

Conversion from working to transport position

Safety Precaution!

Changing from working position to transport position

is only to be carried out on even, ﬁrm ground.

• For safety reasons, turn off drive shaft and wait for rotor to

stop completely.

• Make sure that swivel area is free and that nobody is standing

in the danger area.

Hydraulic raising (Variation)

- The outer rotors are raised into the transport position by

actualing the control valve (ST).

The locking hooks engage automatically.

Attention !

- Check whether the locking hooks (10) are locked

into position correctly.

Manual raising (standard ﬁtting withe the HIT 47)

- Hold the tubular handle

(9) with your hand and

during raising swivel

the outer rotor into the

transport position. The

locking hooks engage

automatically.

Attention!

- Check whether the

locking hooks (10)

are locked into po-

sition correctly.

- Using the tractor's lifting gear, lower the implement far

enough so that it stands on the ground on both centre running

wheels.

- Swivel the outer rotors inward to the transport position.

Swivelling the outer rotors

- Hold the tubular handle in one hand and release the bolts

(position C) with the other.

- When swivelling do not release the tubular handle until the

bolts are locked again (position G).

Conversion from transport to workingposition

Safety Precaution!

Changing from working position to transport position is

only to be carried out on even, ﬁrm ground.

Make sure that swivel area is free and that nobody is

standing in the danger area.

- Turn the rotors outward.

See "Swivelling the Outer Rotors".

- Release mechanical locks (10).

With hydraulic raising: move the control valve (ST) brieﬂy to

the "raise" position simultaneously

pulling on the rope (S).

Doing this releases the mechanical

locks (10).

- Lower outer rotors to the working

position.

9500-GB EINSATZ (204)

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.

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.

Three-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.

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.

Operating on slopes

Take note! Machine 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

(Optional extra for the HIT 54 N)

Shock absorbtion struts (D)

are recommended for work on

slopes as they increase travel

safety.

Adjustment

By turning the hexagonal nut

(SK) the initial tension of the

disk spring and, with that, the

pressure on the friction ele-

ments (R) on the rod can be altered.

Adjustment

- Adjust length of upper link (9) so that rotors are inclined for-

ward 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 si-

deways play in order to prevent tedder from swinging back

and forth.

9500-GB EINSATZ (204)

• Clearing ﬁeld edges can normally (exceptions can be found

later in this manual) be carried out using only a three-point

slewing headstock and the swivelling runner wheels belonging

to it.

The machine runs slantwise behind the tractor according to

the direction of the runner wheels. This causes the forage

to be strewn into the ﬁeld away from the edge.

Swinging of a single runner wheel

- Press up the adjusting

lever (7).

- Swing the wheels to the

right or to the left.

- Lock the adjusting lever

into the desired position.

Note

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

(M).
