ADJUSTMENTS BEFORE OPERATION
Adjustment of rotor inclination
Safety points
• Turn engine off when adjustment, service and repair
work is to be done.
• Do not work under the machine without safe
support.
Implement with slewing headstock "N"
The cog enables the darrier axles to be adjusted within a swivel
range of 10°.
1 setting = 1° alteration to rotor inclination
A lot of fodder = greater angle
Not much fodder = smaller angle
Driving on public roads:
• Observe the official regulations of your country.
• Travelling on open roads may only be carried out as described in
chapter "Transport position".
Total implement width in the working position: more than 3 m
Total implement widht in the transport position: see Techn.

TRANSPORTPOSITION
WORKINGPOSITION
Conversion from working to transport position
Safety Precaution!
Changing fromworkingpositiontotransportposition
is only to be carried out on even, firm ground.
• For safety reasons, turn off drive shaft and wait for rotor to stop
completely.
• Make sure that swivel area is free and that nobody is standing in
the danger area.
Hydraulic raising (Variation)
- The outer rotors are raised into the transport position by actualing
the control valve (ST).
The locking hooks engage automatically.
Attention !
- Check whether the locking hooks (10) are locked into
position correctly.
Manual raising (standard fitting withe the HIT 47)
- Hold the tubular handle (9) with your hand and during raising
swivel the outer rotor into
the transport position.
Thelockinghooksengage
automatically.
Attention!
- Check whether the
lockinghooks(10)are
locked into position
correctly.
- Using the tractor's lifting
gear, lower the implement far enough so that it stands on the
ground on both centre running wheels.
- Swivel the outer rotors inward to the transport position.
Swivelling the outer rotors
- Hold the tubular handle in one hand and release the bolts (position
C) with the other.
- When swivelling do not release the tubular handle until the bolts
are locked again (position G).
Conversion from transport to workingposition
Safety Precaution!
Changing fromworkingpositiontotransportposition
is only to be carried out on even, firm ground.
Make sure that swivel area is free and that nobody
is standing in the danger area.
- Turn the rotors outward.
See "Swivelling the Outer Rotors".

USE
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.
Three-point slewing headstock "type N"
- Lift three point follower machine before going around sharp bends
and when reversing.
Beware!
Machine swings automatically back to central
position (M) when lifted and is locked into position.
Take care that the swinging machine does not
endanger anybody and does not hit solid obstacles.
When lowering the machine the locking devise is
automatically lifted.
Tractor control device (ST)
- Put tractor control device (ST) into "free gear" (floating position
or "lower").
In this way the rotors adapt to
uneven ground.
Operating on slopes
Take note! Machine with three-point slewing headstock
"type N"
If the implement is being raised by the lifting gear whilst travelling
in a curve, the implement swings automatically into the central
position. If workingonslopes thiscanleadtodangeroussituations,
partly due to the balance
weight of the implement
(tipping, slipping, material
breakage etc.).
The function of the shock
absorbtion struts is to allow
the swinging procedure to
be executed slowly and
continuously, not in jerks and jolts.
Shock absorbtion struts
(Optional extra)
Shock absorbtion struts (D) are
recommended for work on slopes
as they increase travel safety.
Adjustment
By turning the hexagonal nut (SK)
theinitialtensionofthediskspring
and, with that, the pressure on the
frictionelements (R)ontherod can
be altered.
Adjustment
- Adjust length of upper link (9) so that rotors are inclined forward
and spring tines lightly touch the ground (see chapter "Adjustment
of rotor inclination" also). Check upper link (9) adjustment regularly
during work operation.
Setting lower link
- 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.

• Clearing field edges can normally (exceptions can be found later
in this manual) be carried out using only a three-point slewing
headstock and the swivelling runner wheels belonging to it.
The machine runs slantwise behind the tractor according to the
direction of the runner wheels. This causes the forage to be strewn
into the field away from the edge.
Swinging of a single runner wheel
- Press up the adjusting lever
(7).
- Swing the wheels to the right
or to the left.
- Lock the adjusting lever into
the desired position.
Note
In this working position the swivel area (9) is used to its full extent.
When driving around bends away from the edge of the field or at the
end of the field, the machine must therefore be lifted.
Attention!
The machine swings back into the central position
(M).

Never exceed the maximum p. t. o. speed when using
the implement.
- When the p.t.o. is switched off, the implement hitched
up may not stop at once.
Do not go close to the implement until all motion has
stopped; only then may work be done on it.
- When the implement ist parked, either remove the
driveshaft and store it, or secure it with a chain. Do
not use retaining chain (H) for this.
Wide-angle joint:
Maximumangleofdeflectionwhenworking/stationary:
70°
Standard joint :
Maximum angle of deflection when stationary: 90°
Maximum angle of deflection when working: 35°
Maintenance
Replace worn-out covers/guards at
once.
- Lubricate with a brand-name grease before starting
work and every 8 hours worked.
- Before any extended period of non-use, clean and
lubricate driveshaft.
For winter working, grease the tube guards, to avoid
them freezing together.
Matching driveshaft to tractor
To determine the actual length required, hold the two
halves of the driveshaft side by side.
Procedure for cutting to length
- To determine length required, set implement in closest
working position (L2) to tractor, hold driveshaft halves
side by side and mark off.
Important!
• Note the maximum operating length (L1)
- Try to attain the greatest possible shaft over-
lap (min. 1/2X)!
• Shorten inside and outside tube guard by the same
amount.
• Fit torque limiter (2) of drive shaft to implement end of
driveshaft!
• Always check that drive shaft locks are securely
engaged before starting work.
Retaining chain
- Use chain to prevent tube guard from rotating.
Take care that chain does not impede driveshaft
pivoting.

How a cam type cut out safety clutch works
This overload clutch switches the torque transmitted to
zero if overloaded. To revert to normal operation, stop the
p.t.o. drive briefly.
The clutch reengages at a speed below 200 rpm.
IMPORTANT!
Re-engaging is also possible by decreasing the
p.t.o. r.p.m.
TAKE NOTE!
The overload clutch on the driveshaft is not a “Full up”
indicator. It is purely a torque limiter designed to protect
the implement against damage.
Driving the right way will avoid triggering the clutch too
often, and thus causing unnecessary wear on it and the
implement.
Lubricating interval: 500 hrs (Special lubricant)
Important for driveshafts with friction clutch
Torque is limited with overloading and brief torque peaks
and evenly transferred during slipping.
Prior to initial operation and after long periods out of use,
check friction clutch for proprer function.
a.) Measure dimension „L“ at compression spring of
K90, K90/4 and K94/1 or at set screw of K92Eand
K92/4E.
b.) Loosen screws to release the pressure on the
friction disk.
Slip the clutch.
c.) Tighten set screws to dimension „L“.
Clutch is ready for use.
