DESIGNATED USE The CLAAS Rotary Swather is designed solely for use in customary agricultural operations (“designated use”).

The swather is suitable and intended for processing hay crops on the ground!

Use for any other purpose is considered as contrary to the designated use. The manufacturer accepts no liability for any damage or injury resulting from such misuse, and the risks are borne solely by the user.

The designated use also includes strict adherence to the conditions of operation, service, and repair as specified by the manufacturer.

The CLAAS Rotary Swather should be operated, serviced and repaired only by persons familiar with its characteristics, and aware of the dangers involved.

The relevant Accident Prevention Regulations, and all other generally accepted regulations on working safety, occupational health, and road traffic regulations must be observed at all times.

Unauthorised modifications made to the machine will exempt the manufacturer from all liability for any resulting damage or injury.

GENERAL SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION REGULATIONS Basic rule: Always check the operational and road safety of tractor and machine before starting up!

Always hitch the machine to the tractor correctly, and only connect and secure the machine to the prescribed couplings.

Always place the prop stand in the correct position when hitching and unhitching the machine. (Firm stand!)

Special care is required when hitching/unhitching the machine to/from the tractor.

Always attach counterweights by means of the fixing points provided for that purpose.

Observe the permissible transport lengths, widths and heights.

Check and mount transport accessories such as lights and warning devices, as well as protective appliances, if required.

Operating devices (ropes, chains, linkages, etc.) of remotely controlled equipment must be positioned in such a way that they cannot cause unintentional operation in any transport or operating situation.

For road travel, prepare the machine and secure or lock any moving parts as specified by the manufacturer.

Never leave the driver's cabin while the machine is moving.

Always adapt your ground speed to the surface conditions. Avoid making sharp turns when driving up or down slopes or when traversing an incline.

Handling, steering, and braking will be affected by the attached or trailed machine, as well as ballast weights.

Therefore, ensure adequate steering and braking power.

When making turns, always take the width and/or inertia of the machine into account.

General:

Operate the machine only when all guards are fitted and correctly positioned.

In addition to the instructions contained in this operator's manual, also observe the general Safety and Accident Prevention Regulations.

Ensure that nobody is within the machine's working or danger area.

The warning and instruction signs attached to the machine provide important information for safe operation; their observance ensures your safety!

Always comply with local traffic regulations when driving on public roads.

Before starting work, familiarise yourself with all the controls and instruments, and their functions. During field work or road travel it is too late!

Clothing worn by the operator must be close-fitting.

Avoid wearing loose jackets, shirts or ties.

No persons are allowed to ride on the machine during field work and while travelling on the road.

BA LINER 780 Profil / 680 Profil - 299 239.2

Do not remain in the machine's turning and/or slewing range.

Remotely actuated (e.g. hydraulic) components present a risk of crushing/shearing.

Before leaving the tractor, secure the implement from rolling away. Lower any mounted implements fully to the ground. Stop the engine and remove the ignition key.

Nobody may be allowed to stand between the tractor and the machine before the machine is prevented from moving or rolling away, by applying the parking brake and/or fitting wheel chocks.

5.1

Safety instructions Mounted machines Before attaching/detaching machines to or from the 3-point hitch, move the control lever to a position in which unintentional raising or lowering is not possible.

When attaching mounted machines to the 3-point hitch, the linkage categories of tractor and machine must match, or the necessary modifications must be made.

A risk of injury due to crushing or shearing exists in the vicinity of the 3-point hitch.

Do not stand between tractor and machine when operating the remote control for the 3-point hitch.

Always ensure that the tractor's 3-point hitch is adequately stabilised to prevent swaying with the machine in transport position.

During road travel with the machine raised, the control lever must be locked to prevent unintentional lowering.

Trailed machines

Never engage the PTO while the tractor engine is switched off.

When operating the PTO, nobody may ever stand in the vicinity of the rotating PTO stub shaft or universal drive shaft.

Always disengage the PTO for extreme turning angles or when the PTO drive is not required.

Attention! High-inertia implements run on after the PTO has been disengaged. Do not go near the implement before it has run down completely. Only when all machine movements have stopped, may work be started on the implement.

Never clean, lubricate, repair or adjust the PTO drive or the universal drive shaft unless the PTO has been disengaged, the engine is switched off, and the ignition key has been removed.

When disconnected from the PTO, the universal drive shaft must be secured in its holder or with a chain.

Secure the machine against rolling away.

After uncoupling the universal drive shaft, the guard must be pushed over the PTO stub shaft.

Observe max. permissible load capacity of couplings, drawbar, and hitch.

Damaged or defective parts must be repaired immediately, before starting work with the machine.

Ensure sufficient movement at the hitch point when hooking up the machine's towbar.

Hydraulic system

PTO operation Only use universal drive shafts specified by the manufacturer.

Always ensure that the guards for the universal drive shaft and PTO stub shaft are installed and in good condition. Make sure that universal drive shafts are properly covered by the guards, both in the transport and in the working position.

The hydraulic system is under high pressure.

When connecting hydraulic cylinders or motors, ensure that the hydraulic hoses are connected correctly.

The hydraulic circuits of both tractor and implement must be depressurized before connecting the hydraulic hoses to the tractor's hydraulics.

Always disengage the PTO, stop the engine and remove the ignition key before attaching or detaching the universal drive shaft.

Both male and female couplings of hydraulic function lines between tractor and implement should be marked to prevent incorrect connection. Exchanging the couplings will reverse the functions, e.g. raising/ lowering. Safety hazard!

If universal drive shafts with overload or overrun clutches are used, which are not protected by the tractor's guard, the overload or overrun clutches must be installed next to the machine.

Inspect hydraulic hoses regularly, and replace them if damaged or deteriorated. Replacement hoses must meet the technical requirements specified by the implement manufacturer.

Always make sure that the universal drive shaft is correctly installed and securely fastened.

Use suitable aids to prevent injury when checking for leaks.

Use safety chains to prevent the drive shaft guards from rotating with the drive shaft.

Fluids (hydraulic fluid) escaping under high pressure can penetrate the skin and cause serious injury. In case of injury, consult a doctor immediately. Risk of infection!

Before engaging the PTO, ensure that the selected speed and direction of rotation of the tractor's PTO match the machine's permissible speed and direction of rotation.

Before engaging the PTO, ensure everybody stands clear of the machine at a safe distance.

5.2

Before doing any work on the hydraulic system, lower the machine, depressurize the hydraulic system, and stop the engine.

Oilflow divider (with pressure relief valve) 780 PROFIL up to 604 0 3544 680 PROFIL up to 603 0 3204 7

When driving across slopes with the rotors raised, their “raised” positions can change (lowering / raising). This can be corrected at the oilflow divider (8) by means of the set screw (6). Loosen the lock nut (7), and finely adjust the set screw (6) by turning it in or out (in 1/4-turn steps). When the desired setting has been reached, retighten the lock nut (7).

Note: Even slight adjustments of the set screw (6) cause a large change in the raising/lowering speed.

Turning the set screw (6) inwards increases the oilflow resistance between tractor and hydraulic cylinders, as well as between the cylinders in the headland position.

The further the screw is turned inwards, the more pressure must be supplied by the tractor to raise the rotors, and the more rigid they are at the headlands.

Note: If the set screw (6) is turned too far, it might no longer be possible to raise the rotors.
