Important information concerning Product
Liability.
According to the laws governing product liability, the manufacturer and dealer are obliged to hand the
operating manual to the customer at the time of sale, and to instruct them in the recommended operating,
safety, and maintenance regulations. Conrmation is necessary to prove that the machine and operating
manual have been handed over accordingly.
For this purpose,
- document A is to be signed and sent to Pöttinger,
- document B remains with the dealer supplying the machine,
- and the customer receives document C.
In accordance with the laws of product liability, every farmer is an entrepreneur.
According to the laws of product liability, property damage is damage caused by a machine and not to
it. An excess of Euro 500 is provided for such a liabilioty.
In accordance with the laws of product liability, entrepreneurial property damages are excluded from
the liability.
Attention! Should the customer resell the machine at a later date, the operating manual must be given
to the new owner who must then be instructed in the recommended regulations referred to herein.
GB Dear Farmer
You have just made an excellent choice. Naturally we are very happy
and wish to congratulate you for having chosen Pöttinger. As your
agricultural partner, we offer you quality and efciency combined with
reliable servicing.
In order to assess the spare-parts demand for our agricultural machines
and to take these demands into consideration when developing new
machines, we would ask you to provide us with some details.
Furthermore, we will also be able to inform you of new developments.

Swather with „MULTITAST“ system
Turning joint (1)
The rotary units are not seated on rigid bearings, but in a turning joint (1).
Feeler wheel (2)
Using the feeler wheel enables the tines to attain optimum ground
adaption (6°) 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.
Using the machine without the feeler wheel (2)
Particular operating conditions require that the feeler wheel (2) be
removed.
If operating without feeler wheel (2) then the following is
to be observed:
• It is imperative that the running wheels of the rotary units be
positioned forward (4).
- otherwise danger of component breakage through
overloading
• The turning joint (1) of the rotary unit must be fixed
- otherwise the rotary unit will tip down and the tines will 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.
• Coverting and fixing the rotary units

General guidelines for working with the machine
- All work in the immediate area of the rotors may only be carried
out when the p.t.o. is switched off.
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.
• Put tractor control device (ST) into "floating position
or lower".
The plungers of both lifting
cylinders can than move
freely enabling the rotor
units to adapt to the uneven
ground.
• Set height of lifting
gear (H1)
- In order to obtain
tidy raking operation,
the rotor must be as
horizontalaspossible.
Averyslightinclination
forward is allowed.
Crank handle (8)
- 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.
- Check adjustment regularly during work operation.
Important points befor starting work
(see supplement-A1 points 1, 2, 3 and 4)
Safety hints
1. Turn p.t.o. on.
Turnthep.t.o.ononlywhenallsafetydevices (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).

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.
- The curved track for tine arm control can be adjusted (optimum
use of the tine control).
- Tractor's lower link (U) must be set so that there is no sideways
play in order to prevent tedder from swinging back and forth.
Turning manœuvre in working position
The rotors can be swung up (pos. H1) using the single action
servo-valve (ST). The drive must not be turned off for this.
Caution!
Do not enter rotor area while driving motor is
running.

Swathes with only one rotary unit
Caution!

Because of the double-jointed drive travelling with
only one rotary unit over swathes already made or for
reasons of space can also take place.
Variant 1 *
Hydraulic operating device preselection
Procedure:
- The rotary unit can be individually selected
- Move lever (L or R) on operating device to “ON”
- Actuate hydraulic control valve on tractor
- The rotary unit selected may only be raised to the
field transport position (FT)
- With that the drive need not be turned off
Hydraulic operating device functions:
Lever L= left rotary unit
Lever R= right rotary unit
Position A= Stopcock opened
Position B= Stopcock closed
Variant 2 *
Electrical preselection
• When individual lift is switched off actuating only one
control valve raises both rotary units
• Pressing button on operating console activates
individual lift
- Control light on operating console lights up when
individual lift is activated
- Actuate the relevant hydraulic servo-valve (ST1 or
ST2) on tractor
- Theselectedrotaryunitis raisedtothe fieldtransport

Take care when turning on slopes!
The tractor's travelling characteristics are
influenced by the weight (G) of the rotor
unit.This can leadto dangeroussituations,
especially on slopes.
Danger of tipping occurs
• when the rotor units are in a raised position
- The rotor unit facing uphill is always raised first
which results in uneven weight distribution (G).
• when travelling in a curve with the rotor units raised

advice
• Reduce speed

per year
• In normal operation the gap (A) should be approx. 1
mm. If shaft play (W) is greater then it can be corrected
with washers
• If the gap (A) is greater than 4 mm then change the
bushings(B)ontheinnersideofthe tinearms.Otherwise
consequent damage can occur to the machine.
Tine arms
Spring tines
• Check the spring tines fastening bolts after the first 10
operating hours and tighten if necessary
From the 2007 model *
An additional spacer (U) will be fitted on the outer tines
