GENERAL CONDITIONS
Adjust the machine to the maximum cutting length acceptable for the crop in
question. This will reduce the stress in the feed intake section and the transmission
and increase the possibility of working with the machine continuously without
blockages.
Always work with sharp blades and correctly adjusted shearbar. Be aware that an
adjustment for short cutting length not only demands increased power but also
causes increased wear of blades.

Fig. 5-1 The feed intake plate A above the pick-up should be dismounted when working in
heavy and strong crops as the auger can easily pull the crop into the feed intake
section under such conditions. At the same time you will have optimal preconditions
for problem-free reverse out of the auger as the feed intake plate A usually tends to
prevent the crop from being reversed freely out of the auger.
Under difficult conditions we recommend you to bring spare friction discs for the slip
clutch on the auger as the pre-adjusted torque on a slip clutch falls gradually when it
is activated and the wanted power cannot be transmitted. When replacing discs
remember that they must be of the same number and quality so that the wanted
torque can be transmitted and to secure maximum life.
SWATHING BEFORE CHOPPING
If it is possible to influence the swathing made before chopping it is important to
emphasise that regular and even swaths are optimal for the subsequent chopping
and will spare the tractor driver a lot of trouble.
