To extend the life of the coil on the solenoid valves, the controller will automatically switch to the default mode after one
minute, which does not require the power supply of the coil of the directional valves.

TRAILED ROTARY TEDDER
OPERATOR’S MANUAL
In order to prepare the tedder for transport:
a) Switch off the PTO drive!
Always switch off the PTO drive of the tractor before moving the machine to the transport position.
Before the operation, it is necessary to make sure that the tedder rotors have come to a standstill.
WARNING!
Folding the machine with rotating rotors will damage the side drive shafts. DO
NOT fold the machine when the rotors are rotating!
b) Level the rotors with the tilt cylinder
The tedder is equipped with a tilt cylinder for the working position. In order to get the machine to the
transport position, first of all, pull down the tilt cylinder as far as possible until the arm rotors are level.
In Fig. 11, the individual stages of levelling and adjusting the tilt mechanism in both tilted and level
positions are presented.
Fig. 11.Levelling the tedder to reach the transport position
The Ht transport height of the rotor fingers depends on the working angle
WARNING!
Failure to level the machine before folding it backwards can damage the main
central cylinder and the folding mechanism.
c) Fold in the tarpaulin sheet
Before folding in the machine using the main central cylinder, fold in the hydraulically operated tarpaulin
sheet (Fig. 12), that prevents loss of forage when tedding at the edge of the field.

WARNING!
Failure to fold in the tarpaulin sheet will cause its damage when folding the
machine into the transport position.
d) Fold the machine with the main central cylinder until the side arms are parallel to the direction of
travel
The tedder is folded into the transport position with help of one central cylinder under the main frame
of the machine. Folding out and down is carried out by extending and retracting the cylinder.
Fig. 13.Position of the main central folding cylinder
Folding to the transport position is achieved by moving the tedder arms from the position perpendicular
to the direction of travel to the parallel position. Folding should take place on a flat, horizontal surface.
Fig. 14. Folding to the transport position
WARNING!
There is a risk of the machine rolling down laterally when the controlled wheels
are perpendicular to the direction of travel. The machine should be adjusted on
level ground.

TRAILED ROTARY TEDDER
OPERATOR’S MANUAL
WARNING!
Wheel tracks, muddy terrain or steep slopes may prevent the tedder from being
folded. Folding the tedder on this type of ground can cause damage to the
machine.
WARNING!
When folding the tedder, ensure that there are no bystanders within the folding
radius of the tedder arms.
e) Rotate the steered wheels to the position parallel to the direction of travel and the tedder bars
The tedder is equipped with two wheel sets (Fig. 15). The controlled wheels are rigidly connected to
the tedder frame and their position is adjusted by a mechanism equipped with hydraulic cylinders.
The controlled wheels maintain a constant direction of travel behind the tractor. In transport position,
the wheels are parallel to the tedder bars and in operation position - perpendicular.
The free-rolling wheels have the possibility to freely rotate around vertical axles. The movement of the
machine and its eccentric design forces the wheels to be positioned towards the ground in the direction
of travel.
