is lowered and rotor tines are lightly touching

the ground (A1)

2. The distance (X) between drive shaft and

linkage drawbar should be at least 120 mm

when in working position (standard). Take note

of distance ”X” particularly when travelling

over humps.

3. The position of rotor tines should be roughly

parallel to the ground. A slight inclination

forward is allowed.

4. Set distance (X1) using thresded spindle

For machines with the ”MULTITAST” system, set a

shaft swivel range here which enables rotor tines

(A1) to adapt well to gound in uneven areas.

- see chapter ”THE ”MULTITAST” SYSTEM” also.

0200-GB TRANSPORT_243

GB

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.

• Check that lighting functions before travelling.

• 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.

OPERATION

- 16 -

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:

- the front axle faces forward

- the rear axle faces the rear

Machine without feeler wheel:

- the front axle does not face forward

- likewise, the rear axle does not face the rear

Mounting the axles

- 17 -

1000_GB-Multitast_243

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.
