Cutting to length procedure

- To adapt the lengths, hold cardan shaft halves next

to each other, in the shortest operating position (L2),

and mark.

Shortest possible operating position (L2):

1. Lower hoist completely

2. Steering turned to lock.

(See adjacent illustration)

For details see chapter "Adapting the cardan shaft".

Preparations for initial use

1. Put the machine in the working position.

The working position is when the device is lowered and

the tine ground clearance (A1) is 10 mm - 0 mm.

2. Check the distance between the cardan shaft

and the tractor linkage drawbar

The distance (X) between the cardan shaft and the

tractor linkage drawbar must be sufficient to prevent

collections between them both!

General standard gauge: 120mm

NOTE

Material damage in the event of a collision between

cardan shaft and tractor linkage drawbar.

If the terrain is extremely uneven, it is possible that

the general standard gauge (measured on a level

surface) may not be sufficient to prevent a collision.

Check the distance between the cardan shaft and

the tractor linkage drawbar at topologically sensitive

points (e.g. crests) and adjust if necessary.

3. Check the position of the rotor unit

The position of the rotor unit should be more or less

parallel to the ground; a slight forward inclination is

permitted.
