3 Operating preparations
3.1 Special safety instructions
• Basic rule for service, maintenance, repair and assembly work on the rotary swather -
switch off the PTO shaft. Switch off the engine and remove the ignition key. Secure the
tractor and rotary swather from rolling away!
• The maximum drive speed is 540 rpm.
• Actuating components such as ropes and cords; and hydraulic hoses and cable
connections should be laid in such a way that they cannot be activated unintentionally or
come into contact with the tractor wheels! Danger of accidents!
• No-one should be standing between the tractor and the rotary swather during raising or
lowering operations. Great risk of injury!
• Before switching on the PTO shaft, ensure that no-one is standing in the danger area of the
rotary swather. Danger of accidents!
• Make sure that the protective devices are correctly fitted during operation and when
travelling on public roads! Attach the lights and check that they are functioning correctly.
• The operator must not leave the tractor during operation!
Beforeconnectingordisconnectingimplementsto and
from the three-point linkage, position the controls in such
away that any unintentional raisingorloweringofthe
implementisimpossible!
Particular care is to be taken when connecting or
disconnectingimplementstoandfromthetractor!
There is a risk of shearing and pinching in the area
aroundthethree-pointlinkage!
• Attach and secure the lower link arms.
• Attach the top link and secure with pins.
• Raise the jack stand and secure it in the uppermost
position with pin. Do not remove the jack stand.
• No-one should be standing between
the tractor and the machine during
attachment.
• Implements that are attached on the
front and rear must not result in the
maximum weight, maximum axle loads
ortyrecarrying capacitiesofthetractor
being exceeded. The front axle of the
tractor must always be loaded with at
least 20% of the empty weight of the
tractor,evenwhentherearattachment
isfitted.
Make certain you have complied with
theserequirementsbeforestartingto
movethetractor
3.2 Attachment to the tractor
The swather is equipped with cat. I and II coupling lugs
forthethree-pointlinkage.
KS300117

III-2
Operating preparations
The lowering speed of the rear
hydrau-lics should be set using the
lowering throttle so that the rotary
swather undercarriage is lowered to
the ground slowly.
Make sure that the tractor cab rear
window is closed before raising the
rear hydraulics. The rotary swather
protective frame could otherwise
damage the rear window.
KS300102

Operating preparations
3.3 PTO shaft
3.3.1 General
Switch off the engine after coupling
the rotary swather to the tractor
linkage. Remove the ignition key.
Secure the tractor from rolling away!
The PTO shaft is fitted with an overload coupling.
Overload couplings protect the tractor and
implement from damage. The overload coupling
setting must not be altered. The guarantee will
become void if the set torque changes due to the
overload coupling being tampered with.
The torque is limited once there is overloading and
is transferred as a pulse during the slip time.
Topreventtheoverloadcouplingfromwearing
outprematurely,thePTOshaftshouldbe
disengagedimmediatelyonce

Operating preparations
Pull the PTO shaft apart so it can be adjusted. Slide the
twocorrespondinghalvesof thePTOshaftontothe
machine (1) and on to the tractor (2). The overload
coupling must be fitted on the implement side! Set
the rotary swather using the rear hydraulics to the
shortestposition for the PTOshaft.Holdboth halves next
to each other and measure the correct length. See the
PTOshaftmanufacturer'soperatinginstructionsforthe
exactmeasuringandshorteningprocedure.
3.3.2 Adjusting the length of the PTO shaft
Danger of material damage: Do not lift
before the length of the PTO shaft has
been adjusted!
• Switch off the PTO shaft when carrying out service, maintenance, repair and assembly
work on the rotary swather. Switch off the engine. Remove the ignition key. Secure the
tractor from rolling away!
• No-one should be standing between the tractor and the rotary swather while the swather
is being raised.

3.4 Detaching from the tractor
• The rotary swather should only be parked on level, solid ground!
• No-one should be standing between the tractor and the rotary swather during raising and
lowering of the swather.
• Follow all other safety instructions.
• Chosealevel,dryfloorspace with sufficient load
bearingcapacity.
• Lower the jack stand (1) and secure with pin.
• Lower the swather making completely sure that it is
standingsecurely.
• Disconnect the PTO shaft (2) and put it onto the
supportprovided.
• Disconnect the top link.
• Disconnect the lower link arm.
