1 INTRODUCTION
The LELY HIBISCUS 1015 Profi (fig. 1) is a pull type, twin rotor
cam rake for central delivery. The machine has 2 rotors with 15 tine
arms, each equipped with 5 double tines.
The tines give a clean sweep and move the grass to the centre in an
airy windrow.
The machine's working width and swath width can be adjusted
infinitely by means of hydraulics.
The OCTOSENS wheel assembly comprising 8 tyres ensures an
excellent raking operation of the rake also when working in
undulating fields.
The rotors of the HIBISCUS 1015 rake are fitted to the carriage by
means of a 3-D system (fig. 2), allowing them to follow ground
contours independently of the carriage. The OCTOSENSE wheel
assembly underneath the rotor feels its way over the ground in such
a way that clean raking is ensured without crop being left behind.
The rotors of the HIBISCUS 1015 rake have a modular construction
so that a repair, if any, to a tine arm shaft can be carried out quickly
and at low costs.
The HIBISCUS 1015 rake is fitted with a hydraulic system, which
transfers part of the weight of the rotors to the carriage.
Consequently, the large wheels of the carriage and the tractor absorb
the weight thus minimising any damage to the turf.
The hydraulic system can be controlled by means of a cord or
hydraulically when switching from the transport position to the
working position. In addition, the electrically controlled system
makes it possible to operate the machine with one rotor in the
headland position and the other one on the ground, which greatly
facilitates raking of slanting plots and field corners.

2 MOUNTING BEHIND THE TRACTOR
- Adjust the tractor’s three point hitch lower arms at equal height.
- Fit the lower arms to the linkage pins (cat II / III) of the headstock
(fig. 3).
Use filler pieces for category III.
- Lift the drawbar slightly so that the parking jacks are just clear of
the ground. Maintain this height adjustment of the tractor lift
during operations and transport.
- Place the parking jacks in the raised position.
- Secure the tractor’s lower arms by means of stabilisation chains
or rods eliminating any sideways movements.
- Place the wheel wedges in the supports fitted at the rear of the
safety signs.
- Check if the PTO shaft telescopes smoothly.
- Fit the PTO shaft to the tractor PTO shaft.
At first assembly or use of another tractor: check the minimum
and maximum overlap of the PTO shaft halves
*
.
- Fit the safety chain of the protection tube to a rigid part of the
tractor.
- Connect the thick (1/2”) hydraulic hose to a single acting
hydraulic tractor valve that has a floating position.
Maximum allowed oil pressure: 21.0 MPa (210 bar).
- Connect the thin (3/8”) hydraulic hoses to a double acting
hydraulic tractor valve.
Maximum allowed oil pressure: 21.0 MPa (210 bar).
For a machine with hydraulic brakes:
- Connect the hydraulic hose for the brakes to the tractor's trailer
brake valve.
In case of mechanically controlled hydraulics:
- Place the end of the control cord for locking the ram in the tractor
cab.
In case of electrically controlled hydraulics:
- Place the control box for the hydraulic system on a solid, metal
surface (use the magnet) in the tractor cab.
- Insert the plug for the power supply of the electric control into an
appropriate socket in the tractor cab.
- Put the plug of the lighting cable in the tracor socket and
check the lighting for correct operation.
*. Consult the instruction supplied with the PTO shaft

3 TRANSPORT
After the machine has been adjusted to the transport position, it can
be transported by the tractor. Transport width amounts to 3.0 m.
Put the machine into the transport position as follows:
- To reduce the transport height of the HIBISCUS rake to 3.90 m,
the 5 outer tine arms of each rotor can be demounted and stored
in the holder fitted to the back of the machine.
- Fold up the protection brackets and secure them by means of the
locking pins (fig. 4).
- Operate the single acting tractor valve to put the machine in the
headland position.
- Pull the control cord of the hydraulic system or press the button
on the control box and operate the tractor's double acting valve.
The machine will now fold up and the rotors will sink into the
supports (fig. 5).
- Use all such lighting and warning signals as are mandatory by
law (or other regulations prescribed by the authorities).
- For transport on public roads: make sure tha t the front axle
weight is sufficient (fit front weights, if necessary) and that the
rear axle weight allowed as a maximum is not needed.
The machine is now ready for transport.
Never allow the PTO shaft to rotate when the machine is in the
transport position.

4 MACHINE ADJUSTMENTS
Put the machine into the working position as follows:
- Pull the control cord of the hydraulic system or press the button
on the control box and operate the tractor's double acting valve.
The rotors are lifted out of their supports, after which the machine
unfolds.
- Lower the rotors onto the ground by operating the tractor's single
acting valve.
- Fit the outer tine arms.
- Unfold up the protection brackets and secure them by means of
the locking pins (fig. 6).
4.1 Working width
The working width of the HIBISCUS 1015 Profi cam rake can be
adjusted infinitely between 9.2 and 10.2 m by means of h ydraulics.
The swath width can be varied between approx. 1.5 and 2.5 m.
- Operate the tractor's double acting valve to adjust the working
width and swath width of the machine.
- Use the adjustable stops on the ram to main tain a cer tain work ing
width.
- When doing so, take the pick-up width of the following machine
into account.
A swath that covers the full pick-up width ensures properly filled
bales.
4.2 Working height
If the required height cannot be obtained with the help of the spindle
adjustment, try this by adjusting the wheels to any of the 6 possible
positions.
- Adjust the working height roughly by positioning the tandem
wheels (A, fig. 7).
The end part should be secured with at least 6 hexagonal head
screws to ensure a solid connection.
- Adjust the rotor in a horizontal or slightly oblique (forward)
position by means of the height adjustment system of the fron t
swivel wheels.
- Adjust the correct height by means of the spindle B. The tines
should only just touch the ground.
Control of the spindle is easier while the machine is slightly lifted.
4.3 Descending speed
The speed of descending for operating the machine on headlands
can be adjusted.
- Adjust this descending speed by turning the blue button (fig. 8) on
the buffer ram.
turn right = descending slower.
turn left = descending faster.

4.4 Cam track adjustment
Rising and descending of the tines that are fitted on the tine arms is
ensured by the cam track. By adjusting this system, rise and descent
moments can be changed.
Correct adjustment depends upon crop/terrain conditions and
forward speed. The cam track can be changed by placing the
adjustment strip (fig. 9) in one of the holes.
5 OPERATING THE HIBISCUS
®
• Make sure that nobody is near the machine at the moment
the PTO is engaged.
• Do not allow anyone to come within a 25 m radius from the
machine during work.
• Stop the tractor engine before leaving the tractor cab.
5.1 General directions
To enable turning on headlands, the rotors can be lifted (approx.
20°).
To achieve this: actuate the single-action valve of the tractor.
- Lift the rotors up to the headland position.
- Engage the PTO shaft at the lowest possible engine r.p.m..
- Increase the motor speed.
- Drive forward.
Never drive the machine through the crop while the rotors are on
the ground without rotating. This may cause damage to the tines
and tine arms.
- Lower the machine into the crop.
- Ensure the floating postition of the hydraulic valve; the rams have
to telescope smoothly throughout the operation.
The machine can be used for making swaths (fig. 10) and for moving
windrows across (fig. 11).
If the machine is equipped with an electrically controlled hydraulic
system, there is a possibility of temporarily raking with one rotor on
the ground. To achieve this, operate as follows:
- Lift the rotors up to the headland position.
- - Put the rotary switch of the control box at the position of the
rotor that needs to remain in the headland position.
- Lower the single rotor into the crop.
- Ensure the floating postition of the hydraulic valve; the ram has
to telescope smoothly throughout the operation.

E-13
5.2 Forward speed and PTO speed
Select a forward speed and PTO output (450-500 r.p.m., max.
540 r.p.m.) which ensures a good and clean windrow.
If the rotor speed is too high there is the risk of crop not being
released soon enough by the tines so that lumps of material are
scattered behind the machine. If so, reduce the PTO speed.
Lower the forward speed when the clutch is engaged as a result of
overload.
6 DISMOUNTING FROM THE TRACTOR
The machine can be dismounted from the tractor both in the working
and in the transport position.
- Place the parking jacks in the raised position.
- Place the wedges against the transport wheels in order to prevent
the machine from rolling away accidentally.
- Lower the tractor hydraulics until the parking jacks rest on the
ground.
- Switch off the tractor engine.
- Disengage the PTO shaft from the tractor PTO.
- Place the PTO shaft in the hook (fig. 12).
- Depressurize the hydraulic system and disconnect the hydraulic
hoses.
- Place the dust caps on the plugs and hang the plugs to the support
on the headstock (fig. 12).
- Remove the plug for lightning from the tractor socket.
For a machine with hydraulic brakes:
- Uncouple the hydraulic hose for the brake.
In case of mechanically controlled hydraulics:
- Remove the control cord for the hydraulic system from the tractor
cab.
In case of electrically controlled hydraulics:
- Remove the plug from the control box of the hydraulic system and
take the control box out of the tractor cab.
- Disconnect the lower arms from the machine.

7.4 Change of oil in gearboxes
Change the oil of the gearboxes of a new rake (or after assembly of
a new gearbox) after approx. 30 working hours for the first time.
After that, oil has to be changed every 250 working hours.
- Place a receiving container underneath the gearbox.
- Unscrew the drain plug (arrow, fig. 20) from the gearbox in
question and let the oil flow into the receiving container.
- Fill the gearbox A (fig. 20) with 2,3 l GX85W-140 transmission
oil.
- Fill the gearboxes B with 1.9 l GX85W-140 transmission oil.
An incorrect oil quantity may lead to overheating and
unrepairable damage of the gearbox.

A HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
A.1 Adjustment of ground pressure
relief system
Standard adjustment of the ground pressure relief system is 5.0 MPa
(50 bar). However, it may be necessary to re-adjust this standard
pressure if the wheels underneath the rotors show too much
compaction on grounds with insufficient bearing power, or if the
rotors do not follow the ground contours properly.
Please proceed as follows for re-adjustment:
- Unfold the machine completely.
- Open the valve on the buffer ram (A, fig. A-1).
- Operate the double acting tractor valve, which will cause a change
of pressure (shown on manometer B).
Adjust the pressure to the required value.
- Close the valve A on the buffer ram.
A.2 2 Filling the hydraulic system
In case of repairs to the hydraulic system, it needs to be totally
depressurised.
This can be carried out as follows:
- Put the tractor's hydraulic spool valves (both single acting and
double acting) in the floating position.
- Open the valve on the buffer ram (A, fig. A-1). Pressure will now
decrease to 0 MPa (0 bar).
After the repair, the hydraulic system needs to be refilled.
This can be carried out as follows:
- Open the valve A on the buffer ram.
- Put the tractor's single acting spool valve in the floating position.
- Pull the control cord of the hydraulic system or press the button
on the control box and operate the tractor's double acting valve.
Fold up the machine completely up to the transport position.
Do not operate the single acting spool valve!
- Unfold the machine onto the ground, in the reverse order, by
activating the tractor's double acting spool valve.
Do not operate the single acting spool valve!
- Repeat the aforementioned steps 10 times to ensure all air is
removed from the hydraulic system.
- Now make sure the required pressure is applied to the system.
To ensure this: follow the instructions provided in supplement A.1 “1 "Adjustment of ground pressure relief system”.
