Preparing for use

Frame pitch
For improved pick-up of the crop, use the three-point power lift system
to incline the main frame approx. 1° further to the front.
Use the three-point power lift system to incline the main frame
approx. 1° further to the front.
Rotor pitch
The rotors are inclined transversely to the chassis. The rotor is already
inclined transversely ex-factory. If the crop is not picked up cleanly, the
raking quality can be improved by adjusting the rotor pitch.
The optimum raking quality is achieved when the tips of the tines in
the front working area and before the crop is deposited have the
lowest possible ground clearance (see adjacent illustration).
\ WARNING
Close the ball valve
Close the ball valve before working on the machine or carrying out
any adjustment work. If the ball valve is open and there is an
operating error, the machine can lower itself and cause serious
injuries.
