Adjustments are made on the undercarriage wheels of the rotary tedder. 3 Settings: • • • 4 Apply setting lever (4) to wheel bracket (3). Remove the linch pin (1) and pull out the pin (2). Move wheel bracket (3) to the desired position I or II using setting lever (4). Insert the pin again and secure it with the linch pin. Pin towards position I = steeper spreading angle Pin towards position II = flatter spreading angle II 1 I If the spreading angle is altered, then the working depth adjustment of the swather disk tines must be checked and recalibrated. 2 KW000013 Basic data for the spreading angle setting: Flat spreading angle II : Steep spreading angle I: - large intake width - short crops - crop lying out wide - fodder weniger als 40% Feuchtgehalt - large output width - long crops - better spreading effect for mown swaths - wilted silage - fodder mehr als 40% Feuchtgehalt IV - 1 Settings 4.3 Setting the working depth • • • • Move the rotary tedder to working position on a level surface. Setting the working depth of the tines is by rotating crank (1). The distance "a" between the front tines (2) and the ground is approx. 2 cm. This setting is a basic setting. In practice, the height setting of the tines must be adapted ato the conditions. 1 2 a KW000014 4.4 Drive rpms Wide spreading (tedding) Take the mowing swaths as much as possible between the rotors. In cases of heavy fodder, move with high rpm (540/ min) and a not-too-high travel speed (4 - 6 km/h) (steep spreading angle). Turning The drier the fodder, the lower the PTO rpm to be chosen (approx. 450/min), in order to avoid damaging the fodder. The movement speed (6 - 8 km/h) should be adjusted to the condition of the fodder. If the fodder is moist, the rpm and the movement speed should be selected as with wide spreading (flat spreading angle). These specifications are approximate values which will need to be adjusted in practice to the actual circumstances.

Do not store it near artificial fertilizers. Clean the machine thoroughly. Dirt attracts moisture and causes corrosion. If you clean the machine with high pressure water jet sprayers, do not direct the water jet at the bearings. Check moving parts (joints etc.) for freedom of movement. Where it is appropriate, remove them, clean them and check them for wear. If necessary, replace them with new parts! Overload clutch storage see chapter 6.3 Oil all joints! Thoroughly grease the machine. Grease the protective sleeves of the PTO shaft to prevent them from freezing. • • Touch up the paintwork; bare metal must be conserved thoroughly with rust preservative. Make a list of all replacement parts needed, and order them in good time. It is easier for your KRONE dealer to obtain and fit the necessary parts out of the season. Your machine will then be fully operational for the coming season. The rotary tedder must only be jacked up with a suitable jack. Make sure that the rotary tedder is solidly supported when it is jacked up. VI - 1 Winter storage VI - 2 Start-up after winter storage 7.
