EN-13
If some crop is left in the middle behind the machine (fig. 15), the
top link should be turned in until the crop material is taken up
effectively.
In case the crop is not effectively taken up on the sides (fig. 16), the
top link has to be turned out whilst -if need be- the height adjustment
or cam track should be corrected.
Because of the trail device, turns made with the HIBISCUS rake are
almost as short as those made by a trailed machine.
- If the machine is lifted in a turn it will automatically swivel
into the central position.
- Make sure that nobody is near the machine and that obstacles
cannot be hit.
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.
