At this point, work carefully with the hydraulic distributor to make sure that the frame is completely 
lowered,  and  then  adjust  the  height  of  the  tines  (H)  above  the  ground.  To  change  the  distance 
between the tines and the ground, turn looking (4) and rotating the self looking nut (5), the tilt of the 
machine relative to the ground is adjusted. 
It is advised to adjust the front tine so that it is 1 3/8” from the ground.  
If adjustment is too high, the forage will not be completely picked up and if it is too low, the forage 
risks becoming dirty, the grass will be damaged and the double elastic tines will be worn down.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Before starting off for work, be sure that the machine is correctly assembled and in good operating 
condition.
