4.2.9 Skirt Lift and Rotation System
The skirt lift and rotation system has:
• Electric actuator (optional).
• Skirt lift and rotation mechanism.
The skirt lift and rotation system rotates the skirt to the lifted middle position or to the left or right feed
push position. In order to push feed at the left and right side of the machine, the machine must be
equipped with a second ultrasonic sensor (optional). In the middle position the skirt is lifted from the
ground. This is useful for instance to avoid contamination of the skirt when the machine drives from one
barn to another. An electric actuator (optional) adjusts the rotation mechanism of the machine to the
preferred position.
Requirements for driving the machine with lifted skirt
• The surface where the machine drives on in skirt lift mode must be even.
• The skirt lift mode must only be used in areas where it is necessary.
