3.3 PTO shaft
3.3.1 General
Switch off the engine after couplingthe rotary swather to the tractorlinkage. Remove the ignition key.Secure the tractor from rolling away!
The PTO shaft is fitted with an overload coupling.Overload couplings protect the tractor andimplement from damage. The overload couplingsetting must not be altered. The guarantee willbecome void if the set torque changes due to theoverload coupling being tampered with.
The torque is limited once there is overloading andis transferred as a pulse during the slip time.
To prevent the overload coupling from wearingout prematurely, the PTO shaft should bedisengaged immediately oncethe overload coupling responds.
Compare the relevant RM torque value withthe value given in the following table.If these values do not tally, please consultyour Krone dealer.

Adjusting the swather
4.6 Swath former
The distance between the swath former and the swatherdisc is infinitely adjustable for narrow or wide swaths tosuit crop conditions.
The distance between the swath former and the swatherdisc is set to suit the amount of crop.large crop = larger distancesmall crop = smaller distance
To do this:• Loosen the clamping lever (3)• Move the swath former to the desired position• Tighten the clamping lever (3) again.
The swath former can be adjusted lengthways in8 positions. This adjustment is necessary if feed fallsforward past the swath former, for example.To do this remove screws (5), put the swath former intothe desired position and replace screws (5).
To achieve optimal work results, the transverseinclination of the rotor can be changed on the left andright tandem axles.
Do not step under the rotors when theyare raised.
• To ensure this, raise the rotor just far enough to beable to perform the adjustment tasks on it.
• Remove the left and right tandem axle and mountagain in the desired position with adjustment axle.
If the forage is heavy, adjust the runninggear on the swath cloth side as low aspossible.
