6.14.4 Pickup depth setting
– Depth guide of the pickup is assumed by the two support feet (10) adjustable in
height (except for external side of the two lateral parts of pickup) and the central
part (central mark).
– Drive into the beet pile.
– While doing so, set the pickup depth.
The pickup should be set to such a height that the fingers of the pickup roller enter
the ground for their whole length. This pickup depth is the optimum for preserving,
power-saving work.
ADVICE
Never press the tube of the pickup roller into the ground, but allow its lower side to
reach the surface. If the pickup is positioned too low and thus shoves the soil in front,
the drive is exposed to extreme forces and this roller could sag. In this case, the oper-
ating costs of the machine rise sharply! Even surface under the pile is very important
for the best operation of the loader. It is not possible to work with low losses if ground
under the pile is not even and level. Avoid deep ruts under the beet pile.
The mini joystick (1) on the right joystick is used to set the height of the pickup central
section and, along with it, the height at the inner edges of the pickup side sections.
The X-Y key (4) is used to set the height of the support feet and, along with it, the
height at the right and left outer edges of the pickup side sections.
