4 INFORMATION REGARDING OPERATION OF BALTIMATIC®TEDDER 4.1. General information BALTIMATIC®Hay Tedder with two rotors is a 3 point hitched machine adjusted for work at slopes no more than 12 degree and working with tractor class 0.6 and higher. Tractor should be equipped with standard front weights. For driving of BALTIMATIC®Tedder should be used standard PTO shaft with 1 3/8′ spline in both ends. 130 NM transferring power 8KW.
4.2. Construction and work of BALTIMATIC®Hay Tedder It is a 3 point hitched machine, getting power from PTO shaft. The layout of 3 point hitched points is acc. To norm ISO 730-1 & AC1: 1996. BALTIMATIC®Hay tedder is built from frame (1) to which are fixed working assemblies/components. Working components are rotating elements (2) to which are fixed arms (3) with doubled spring fingers (4). The power for rotating elements is coming via PTO shaft, pulleys and V-belts. Belt pulley with spring fingers rotate in opposite direction. Spring fingers touch the cut grass / straw – turning it. Support wheels (5) are following the ground to ensure even ground clearance for spring fingers. To the frame of machine are bolted safety barriers (8) preventing access to rotating working elements. To barriers are welded clamps (9) for fixing lights-warning plates (10) and triangle plate (11) (ACC. TO NOMR PN-93/r-36154

4.4 Equipment With BALTIMATIC®Hay Tedder should be supplied owners manual with instructions and sparepart catalogue.
4.5 Preparation of tractor to work with BALTIMATIC®hay tedder Preparation of tractor to work with BALTIMATIC®Hay Tedder should be made in accordance to general instruction in owners manual for the tractor. Lift arm pins on the tractor should be adjusted to same height as the lift arm pins on the tedder. That will make it easier to mount BALTIMATIC®tedder to tractor.

4.6Preparation of machine for work Check BALTIMATIC® tedder that it is in correct technical condition. – Check bolt connections of springs to arms – Check bolt connections of arms to belt pulley – Check springs for wear and broken springs In case of worn or damaged springs these must be replaced – Check condition of V-belt, if damaged or worn-out it should be Replaced with a new one. – Check the tension of V-Belt. Belt must not be loose. If regulation of tension is necesserary it can be done by nut (3) on drawing 3. The slack of the V-belt between belt pulley and tightnere should be approx 6′ when a force of 110 lbs is applied to the V-belt. – Checking if support wheels are turning slightly, without stopping – Mount PTO shaft on machine.

Remember every time before work, to check technical condition of spring fingers, bolt connections of springs to arms and bolt connections of arms to belt pulley.

.
4.7Mounting BALTIMATIC®Hay Tedder to tractor Mounting of BALTIMATIC®Hay Tedder to tractor should be done in following steps: Disassembled draw bar from lower lift arms. Drive tractor close to frame of Hay Tedder Stop tractor, use hand brake, turn off -tractor engine and take out tractor key. Mount top link to top of 3 point hitch on tedder and secure by using linch pins. Lift up lift arm supports of frame on tedder ­ mount these to lift arms on tractor and secure by linch pins. Tighten side chains of lower lift arms on the tractor. Mount PTO shaft to BALTIMATIC®Hay tedder and to tractor. ( Tractor side on shaft is outside pipe, Tedder side on shaft is inside pipe). Secure chains of shield of PTO shaft to shield of machine shaft and tractor.
ATTENTION it is prohibited to mount hay tedder to tractor at the same time tractor us running. Turn off tractor and remove key prior connecting BALTIMATIC®hay tedder to tractor.

4.8 ADJUSTMENT OF BALTIMATIC®TEDDER Before operation and working with BALTIMATIC®tedder it is necessary to make proper adjustments of the tedder. Correct adjustments of spring fingers and adjustments of working angel of the rotors.The control of correct adjustment of spring fingers should be done at the same time when damaged spring fingers are replaced or tightened. In order to adjust finger correctly it is necessary to use 90 degree angel bar (pos. 1 on draw. 4) In order to make regulation please make loose on fixing bolt (4 on drawing 4) Put angel bar on rotor arm acc. to drawing 4. Distance from end of spring finger to the range of angle bar should be from 1½” ­ 4″ (40 up to 100mm). Fingers should be adjusted equally on all arms of both rotors.
Drawing 4.
Correct adjustment of spring fingers:
1 ­ angel bar 2 ­ rotor arm 3 ­ spring washer 4 ­ nut bolt 5 ­ spring finger
In order to achieve the proper working angel of rotors from the ground, it is necessary to adjust toplink on tractor whereby the front spring fingers on the rotors will be situated
1 / 4″ ­ 1 / 3″ (4 ­ 10) mm over the ground.
4.9 ­ operation of BALTIMATIC® hay tedder Newly cut grass is after been cut laying on the ground on the field ­ sometimes in a windrow. In the drying process the grass is tedded 3-4 times during a day. Tedding should be done during weather condition where the humidity is low. Frequent tedding enables the grass to dry quicker. BALTIMATIC®Hay Tedder should enter the windrow of grass only when full RPM of the working rotors is achieved (rotation speed of tractor shaft 540 rpm). During work it is recommended to find level of RPM on engine which will give speed in range of 612 km/h and which will give RPM of engine which refers to nominal rotation of PTO shaft. Speed should be selected dependly on land condition and the quantity of grass/straw in the windrow. All material, which makes the machine to clough, should be removed when Hay Tedder is in lower position (on ground) and engine of tractor is OFF

Page 10
Before start, be sure that no one is near or around the machine & tractor. During work do not allow people to be close to machine. All service and repair work should be done only when BALTIMATIC®Tedder is in lower position on the ground and and the engine of tractor is OFF.
ATTENTION: It is not allowed to drive backward with tractor during work, when machine is in working position. BALTIMATIC® Tedder should be lifted smoothly without rapid moves.
4.10 Transport Hitched Hay tedder with two rotors when transported on public roads should be equipped with warning lights and triangle warning plates ­ relevant to local regulations. During transport, BALTIMATIC®Hay Tedder should be lifted up, to position ensuring required ground clearance. When making turns on the road keep attention to on the length of the vehicle (tractor and hay tedder). It is not allowed to have any persons riding on the hay tedder during transport.
5. TECHNICAL SECTION
5.1 Maintaining BALTIMATIC®hay tedder in good condition In order to keep hay tedder in good condition every time after work is finished, the BALTIMATIC® Hay tedder should be cleaned from the rest of plants. All bolts / nuts should be checked for not being missing or loose. All moving parts should be checked. Parts being damaged or being worn out should be renovated or replaced with new parts.
5.2 Post – seasonal service. When season is finished, BALTIMATIC®Hay tedder should be carefully cleaned. Worn or damaged working elements should be replaced and all loose bolts/nuts should be tightened. Tightener for V-belt should loosen. BALTIMATIC®Tedder should be greased acc. To greasing instruction. Places where paint is removed/ damaged should be cleaned and covered by new paint.
.

Page 12
6. Storage of BALTIMATIC®Hay Tedder Hay tedder should be stored under roof on level, solid ground. The PTO input shaft on the tedder and bolt on belt tightener should be covered with solid grease. In case machine is stored long time outside, conservation/preservation of these elements should be repeated during the storage period in case the protective grease coating is wearing off. BALTIMATIC® Hay Tedder should be stored in place where there is no danger for any persons.

Page 13 7. PULLTYPEATTACHMENT FOR BALTIMATIC ® HAYTEDDER Pulltype attachment enables user to convert 3 point hitch haytedder to a pull type version tedder.
IMPORTANT: Wheel adjustment. The wheels on haytedder in 3 point hitch version is unlocked and should be able to swivel freely. The wheels on haytedder in pull type version MUST be fixed and locked. On wheel holder bolt for locking the wheels must be tightened.
