For the storing of the equipment, follow the instructions described in Section C5.
D3 Hay wheel weight on soil
The effectiveness of the collected cut forage, depends on the hay wheels weight on soil. It can be adjusted, before the hay wheel are lowering, using the relating
knob (1) located on the mobile frame. The hay wheels weight is perfect when the teeth are almost touching the ground. The teeth must not be too low (weighted
wheels), because penetrating into the soil can rapidly wear, and they must not be too high (lightened wheels) as their collection action may be ineffective.
You can adjust the hay wheels weight by getting closer or moving away the end position from its relating plate (2), placed on the bar. Turning the knob in clockwise
direction the end position comes closer to the plate and, consequently, the hay wheels will be lightened respect to the ground. Turning the knob counter-clockwise
the hay wheels will be heavier.
D4 Direction change and reverse
At the end of the field, when the tractor with the hay rake must invert direction or if it goes in reverse for a short
distance, the hay wheels must be lifted from the ground and if necessary, put the equipment in the transport
configuration (see B2 paragraph) .
To change direction of the rake, the operator controls the raising of the hay wheels and possibly the closing of the
mobile frame (see paragraph B2). After this, the operator can change direction in many maneuvers. Finally, the
operator will put the rake into the working position again.
D5 End of work
Once work is completed and the tractor must return in its usual parking, set the transport configuration on the hay rake, before moving. Then, stop the tractor's
engine, engage the parking brake and remove keys from the dashboard.
To store the equipment, follow instructions described in paragraph C5.
