Hitching of machines with three point linkage

Safety hints:
see supplement-A1 points 7.), 8a. - 8h.)

- 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.

Drive shaft adaption

"Shorten the drive shaft" see Supplement-B .

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

Hydraulic hoses and electrical cables

Note: Overlengthed hydraulic hoses and electrical cables

are fitted to the machine. This enables the machine to
be coupled to various tractors

• Roll hydraulic lines and electrical cables together
appropriately and secure with cable binders (K).

Rotating rotor must not damage hydraulic

•
hoses and electrical cables.

here must always be sufficient distance to

T

the rotating parts even when cornering.

Observe lengths "L1 and L2"!

•

Important!

Only reposition the

lock pin when the

machine is in the

raised position.

Connecting hydraulic system to the tractor

For reasons of accident prevention the

p.t.o. must be switched off and the rotors
must come to a stand still before raising the
side rotors.

Release rope (Only lifting

is hydraulic)

-

Run rope (S) into tractor

cabin.

Lowering the rotary tedder

Always park implement stabily!

- secure against rolling and tipping over.

• The implement can be parked while in the transport or
working position.

Secure bolts in position B on the headstock (SB).

-

Parking in the open

• When parking for longer periods in the open, clean
plunger rods and then coat with grease.

Important!

- The runner wheels on the swivelled up rotors are to be
turned vertically.

Doing this will prevent rain water from penetrating the

wheel bearings.

Important!

reposition bolts when the machine is

Only

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 (H)!

- Remove hydraulic cables.

- Unhitch machine from tractor.

Winter storage

The runner wheels should be disengaged when garaging

the implement.

Lowering the machine (Danger of tipping!)

- Only park implement with side rotors swivelled up
(Danger of tipping).

If a rotory tedder is to be parked with the

side rotors swivelled up, the following must
be observed, especially with the draw-bar
machine:

(for HIT 470, HIT 540)

Before uncoupling

- Fold front support stand down and secure

- Pull rear support stand out and down and secure with
pin (V)

Note!

When in operation the support stand must be placed

in the upper position and secured with pin (V).

HITCHING

GB

Use both support stands (otherwise danger of

­tipping).

Then uncouple the implement from the tractor.

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

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.

Data

• Always swing the outer rotors in before transporting.

Not much fodder = smaller angle

Tine adjustment

Tine position can be altered

by turning the tine carrier
(80).

• Position "S1"

Stand a rd po s i t ion (ex

factory)

• Position "S2"

For use under difficult conditions, e. g. with very

dense, awkward forage. This tine position increases
the strewing action.

• Direction of rotation "R"

Be aware of this when installing tines.

Only in this position is the maximum permissable transport width
not exceeded.

No-one can be injured by the rotor tines in this

position.

Hydraulic lower link

- Fix the hydraulic lower link (U) in such a way that the machine
cannot swing out sideways.

WORKINGPOSITION

GB

Conversion from working to transport position

Safety Precaution!
Changing from working position to transport position

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.

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).

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.
The locking hooks engage
automatically.

Attention!

- Check whether the
locking hooks (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.

Conversion from transport to workingposition

Safety Precaution!
Changing from working position to transport position

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".

- Release mechanical locks (10).
With hydraulic raising: move the control

valve (ST) briefly to the "raise" position
simultaneously pulling on the rope
(S).

Doing this releases the mechanical

locks (10).

- Lower outer rotors to the working
position.
