6.13.5 Additional defoliator lifter
If the defoliator should be manually raised without raising the lifting unit at the same
time, keep the multi-key (11) pressed and pull the joystick backwards. The defoliator
will then be raised maximally by the defoliator relief cylinders. Once you push the mini
joystick (1) forward slightly, the additional lifter is switched off. At the same time, the
defoliator relief cylinder’s relief pressure regulation is activated and the original relief
pressure regulated.
If the additional defoliator lifting is to be automatically active every time the three-point
suspension is raised, select the "AUTO" or "BAR" option in the "Basic settings" meu,
"Attachment" submenu, "Additional topper lifting" line.
With the "TOP" setting the defoliator is always raised to the stop. This is useful for
increasing the ground clearance of the scalper (only required if there are deep tracks
at the headland)
With the "CENTRE“ setting the defoliator is raised about half-way by the defoliator
relief cylinder when the three-point suspension is raised. This allows it to move up or
down and thus to absorb impacts that could occur when driving over an uneven head-
land.
Recommendation:
additional topper lifting
row distance (mm)
lifter up + multifunction
single-row automatic stage
attachment (lifter/defoliator)
Only use this function when it is really required. Select the "OFF" option to switch off
the automatic system (standard setting).
