5. DRIVING IN THE FIELD
• You drive as straight as possible into the crop and are aware of this when
turning in the field.
Fig. 5-3
Fig. 5-3 The pick-up is fitted with support rollers of steel which are adjustable in height. From
the factory the wheels have been adjusted so that there is 15-20 mm space between
the tines and an even and firm ground.
Check regularly that the pick-up tines do not reach further down than necessary to be
able to pick up the swath efficiently. If the tines hit the ground too hard they are
quickly worn and the drive of the pick-up may be overloaded.
BLOCKAGE IN THE MACHINE
Auger and feed intake section:
In case of blockage in the auger or feed intake section, activate the reserve function
immediately and reduce the number of revolutions.
Hereby the auger and the feed intake stop immediately, and you can obtain an
overview of the situation.
Now place the reverse system in reverse position at a low number of rpm, with the
switch on the panel, and reverse the material out of the machine. We recommend to
reverse slowly with the machine when the material is pushed out. Thereby you avoid
accumulation of material behind the pick-up auger and in front of the pick-up fingers.
After reversing move the reverse system back to normal feed intake at a low number
of rpm. When the machine runs correctly, increase to correct number of rpm, and the
work can be resumed.
The rotor
In case of blockage in the rotor, activate the reverse function immediately and turn
off the power transmission.
To enable the feed rollers to pull the material out of the rotor, it must be disconnected
during reverse. The procedure is as follows:
1) Go to the machine when the power take-off is disconnected and the engine has
been stopped.
