Hitching of machines with three point
linkage
- Pinning the machine to the three point linkage.
- Fix the hydraulic lower link (4) in such a way that the
machine cannot swing out sideways. Push in the
support foot (5) and secure.
- Before using for the first time, the length of the drive
shaft must be checked and adjusted if necessary (see
also supplement B "Drive shaft adaption").
Locking the headstock during use on
roads and when lowering
For transport the headstock (SB) must be locked using
a lock nut.
A = working position
B = transport position
Important!
Only reposition the lock pin when the machine is in the
raised position.
Lowering the machine
- Unpin bolt on the slewing headstock (SB) in position
A.
Important!
Only reposition bolts when the machine is in the raised
position.
- Lower the machine with the tractor hydraulic system
and place on support foot.
- Pull off drive shaft and rest on support.
Do not rest drive shaft on safety chain!

Safety hints:
see supplement-A1 points 7.), 8a. - 8h.)
- Pin the bolts on the slewing headstock (SB) into position B.
Important!
Only reposition bolts when the machine is in the raised position.
- Lower implement to ground.
- Push trap sheet (9) right in and secure with T-screw.
- Raise left and right guard rail
and secure with cotter pin
(6).
- Detach all tine arms and put
on (position 1).
Attention!
All tine arms must always
be taken off. The rotor
could turn by itself during
travel.
If not all tine arms are taken off, the rotor
hasto besecuredagainst turningbymeans
of the fork (G).
The fork (G) is mounted on the right guard rail.
When raising the guard rail the fork is swung into
the shaft of the tine arm.
Conversion to working position
Caution!
Do not enter rotor area while driving motor is running.
- Pin the bolts on the slewing headstock (SB) into position B.
Important!
Only reposition bolts when the machine is in the raised position.
- Lower implement to ground.
- Mount all tine carriers onto rotor.
- Raise right guard (10) rail and secure with cotter pin.
- Pull trap sheet out (X) and secure with T-screw.
Adjust gap (X) as required.

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.
- Pin the bolts on the
slewing headstock (SB)
into position A.
Important! Only
reposition bolts when
the machine is in the
raised position.
- Lift three point follower machine before going around
sharp bends and when reversing.
Beware!
Machine swings automatically back to
central position 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.
Operating on slopes
Take note!
If the implement is being raised by the
lifting gear whilst travelling in a curve, the
rotor swings automatically into the central
position. If working on slopes this can lead
to dangerous situations, partly due to the
balance weight of the rotor.
The function of the shock absorbtion struts (D) is to
allow the swinging procedure to be executed slowly
and continuously, not in jerks and jolts.
Shock absorbtion struts (Optional fitting)
The use of shock absorbtion struts (D) is recommended
when operating on slopes because they increase
travelling safety.
Adjustment:
Disk spring tension can
be adjusted by turning
the hexagonal nut (SK)
which in turn alters friction
element (R) pressure onthe
pressure rod.

USE

0600_GB-EINSATZ_283
USE GB
Roller-feeler (5)
Better ground adaption is attained when the roller-feeler
is used on extremely uneven surfaces.
- An upper link chain is used instead of the upper link
spindle.
The chain should sag slightly.
- Tension spring (2) must be suspended.
Adjusting rotor inclination
- In order to obtain tidy raking operation, the rotor must
be as horizontal as possible. A very slight inclination
forward is allowed. This inclination is to be adjusted
using the upper link (7).
- 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.
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.
Hydraulic lower link
- Tractor's lower link must be set so that there is no
sideways play in order to prevent tedder from swinging
back and forth.
Hydraulic control device
- Put tractor control device (ST) into "free gear" (floating
position or "lower").

- 9 -
0600_GB-EINSATZ_283
USE GB
- The rotor should be horizontal or maximally inclined
1,5 cm on the swath side (cm-1,5).
- Implements with tandem axle (10) are to be raised when
travelling through tight curves.
EUROTOP 340N (from 2006 model)
So that a fourth double tine can be used on appliances
with tandem tyres:
- fit the pin (B) into hole (2)
- through that the clearance between tyres and tines
is increased
