Switching the Rotor OnFor safety reasons, to prevent accidental starting of the rotor, the ‘Rotor On’ switch cannotbe activated in a single operation or without first selecting the direction of cut – theprocedure for starting the rotor is as follows:Select the required cutting direction - the Rotor On/Off Switch (D) must then be switchedupwards and held in position for a minimum of 8 seconds before switching it into the fullydown ‘on’ position where it will remain until it is switched off. When the switch is moved tothe down position the red LED light below the switch will be lit to signify the rotor is on – ifthe LED does not light the switch was not held in its up position for long enough and therotor will not have started, repeat the process again holding the switch upwards for alonger period.Rotor StartSwitching the Rotor OffStopping the rotor is performed by switching either the Rotor Power Switch (D) or theRotor Direction Switch (E) to the central (off) position – the red LED light will go out tosignify the rotor has been switched off.Rotor StopCAUTION: When the rotor is switched off it will continue to ‘freewheel’ under its ownmomentum for up to 40 seconds before finally coming to a standstill – do not leave thetractor cab or attempt to approach the flailhead until the rotor has stopped turningcompletely.Alternative Rotor Stop30
ELECTRIC MONOLEVER CONTROLSMachines with Electric Monolev er Controls will be supplied with one of the control unit sshown below, the particular version will be dependent on the spec ification of the machine;machines fitted with c able rotor control will use the u nit shown left whilst machines wit helectric rotor control will use the unit shown right – the only differences between the unit sis that the latter has 2 addition switches fitted for operation of the electric rotor control.Cable Rotor Control Version▼Electric Rotor Control Version▼LOCATION & FUNCTION OF CONTROLS1.
