1. INTRODUCTION

The Lely Hibiscus 1015 CD Profi is a twin rotor rake to rake grass.

Lely Hibiscus 1015 CD Profi has two rotors with 15 removable tine arms,

The
each with five double tines.

The tines provide a clean sweep and move the grass to the center in a fluffy
swath.

The swath width can be hydraulically adjusted.

The Lely Hibiscus 1015 CD Profi has:

• Two rotors

• A hydraulic system

• An octosense wheel assembly

• An adjustable cam track.

• A brake system

Various optional extras are also available. Refer to Optional Extras Lely
Hibiscus 1015 CD Profi (page 1-3).

Introduction 1-1

1.1 Rotors

A 3-D system connects the rotors to the carriage of the Lely Hibiscus 1015 CD
Profi. This allows the rotors to follow ground contours independently from the
carriage.

modular design of the Lely Hibiscus rotors enables quick and easy repair

The
and replacement worn parts.

1.2 Hydraulic System

The hydraulic system transfers part of the weight of the rotors to the carriage
to minimize any damage to the crop.

The hydraulic system is controlled either by an operating cord or an electric
control
to the working position.

The electric controlled system also permits operation with one rotor in the
headland position. This enables raking places that are difficult to reach, for
example slopes and corners.

panel to move the Lely Hibiscus 1015 CD Profi from transport position

1.3 Octosense Wheel Assembly

The Octosense wheel assembly has eight tyres and is installed underneath
the

rotors. It enables the rotors to follow ground contours accurately and rake

cleanly.

1.4 Adjustable Cam Track

The adjustable cam track determines the pick and release moments of the
crop.

Correct adjustment of the cam track depends on the type of crop, terrain
conditions and forward speed. The cam track is adjusted by moving the
adjustment strip to front or the back. Moving the adjustment strip to the front
gives a late release of the crop. Moving the adjustment strip to the back gives
an early release of the crop.

1.5 Brake System

The brakes of the Lely Hibiscus 1015 CD Profi are installed on the transport
wheels. Either oil-pressure or air-pressure brake systems can be installed.

1.6 Lely Hibiscus 1015 CD Profi +

The Lely Hibiscus 1015 CD Profi + is a special version of the Lely Hibiscus
1015

CD Profi. It has adjustable wheel assemblies underneath the rotors. This
enables easy adjustment of the working height during operation.

R-H012.1103EN

An electrically controlled hydraulic system operates the adjustable wheel
assemblies. The control panel is installed in the tractor cab.
