Driving on
headlands
The rotors can be raised for crossing swaths that have already been
harvested.
Manoeuvring which involves tight turns on the field must only be
performed at walking speed.
Before raising, significantly reduce the speed and PTO stub shaft
speed (≤ 4 km/h).
Switch off the tractor PTO shaft drive.
Move the machine to the headland position using the tractor's
single-acting control device.
Lower the rotor again, in order to create new swath.
\ WARNING
Observe the contour of the terrain
Pay even more attention when driving on an incline. Avoid inclines
on which the combination (tractor and machine) could slip or
overturn. There is an increased risk of tipping and injury in a
position at right angles to the direction of the slope.
Before raising, reduce the tractor speed and tine rotational
speed
Before raising to the headland position, significantly reduce the
speed and PTO stub shaft speed. Only raise the machine to the
headland position so that the inner side devices are horizontal.
Otherwise, damage to the machine may be caused as a result.
Observe the slewing range
The rear wheels of the tractor must not come into contact with the
drawbar or the attachment carrier when cornering. This may
happen when turning sharply. Unsuitable driving behaviour can
cause serious damage.
Check the steering angle
Always observe the steering angle from the tractor to the first
rotary assembly, and the angle of both rotary assemblies in
relation to each other. If one of the angles – between the tractor
and the first rotary assembly, or between the two rotary
assemblies – is less than 90°, damage to the machine or injury
may be caused as a result.
