2 cm above the ground (A1). See "Setting the rotor
height", "Operation" chapter.

2.
The distance (X) between the PTO shaft and the tool bar
must have at least 120 mm in working position (standard
measure). Observe the distance "X" particularly when
driving over ground tops!
3.
The position of the rotor tines (A1) should be somewhat
parallel to the ground; less inclination to the front is
permitted.
4. Set the correct distance (X1) with the help of the
threaded spindle.
For the machines with contact wheel
(optional
equipment)"
you need to set a pivoting range of the
drawbar for a good floor adjustment of the circular tines
(A1) on uneven surfaces.
- swivel the lever (H) downwards (0°) to secure the
threaded spindle against twisting.
9.
Towing rope (option)
TIP
The towing rope is needed only with the option “hydraulic
swath apron”.
-
Lay the rope (S) into the tractor cab.

Risk of injury resulting in death or other serious injury
from tilting the tractor/trailer unit when driving round
bends on a slope.
The tractor's driving characteristics are influenced by
the weight of the rotor unit This can lead to hazardous
situations on slopes (tipping, slipping, material breakage,
etc.).
Danger of tipping exists in particular:
