End Of Harvest; Jamming; Managing The Operating Settings - TerraTec T.RJP.80M Manuel D'utilisation

800mm babyleaf harvester
Instruction manual
(43) To start the machine, pull the cord. It is a "dead man" safety control device:
• the machine will operate while the cord is held taut.
• When the cord is released, even accidentally, the machine shuts down completely.
!
Do not bypass this safety mechanism by blocking the cord: both hands of the user must
hold the cord taut.
IMPORTANT
(44) You can spread the produce of the harvest by hand in the harvest bag without letting go of the cord with the other hand.
!
Do not touch the hazardous parts, i.e. moving parts, hot areas (speed reducer, flexible
shaft, combi-drill). Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
IMPORTANT

END OF HARVEST

(45) When the harvest bag is full, let go of the cord: this will stop the machine, so that you can empty the full bag.
!
Empty or full harvesting crates must be laid out beside the path of the harvester.
IMPORTANT

JAMMING

An incorrect setting of the cutting parameters or harvesting conditions can result in a jam at the cutter bar.
To prevent this problem, the machine has a safety CUT OFF that reduces the torque of the cutter bar, thereby
preventing any damage to the mechanical parts in case of a blockage.
To clean out the machine, carefully carry out the following steps:
(46) Stop the machine immediately by letting go of the cord;
(47) Analyse the situation to find out the cause of the jam,
(48) Wear protective equipment such as cut resistant gloves to clear any goods that have become stuck.
!
It is important not to put your fingers in the cutting blades to avoid any risk of getting cut or even severing
fingers.

Once the cutter bar of the machine is free of all the jammed material, proceed as follows to restart:
(49) Change the settings to the correct cutting settings: speed of rotation of the drill and/or height of the cutterbar and
pick-up reel.
(50) Free the harvester from the crop being harvested in order to test the cutterbar without any load: press the start-up
cord to control the operation of the cutterbar.
!
If you notice any damage or you hear any suspicious noises, contact our agents.
IMPORTANT
If everything seems fine, the work can continue.

MANAGING THE OPERATING SETTINGS

There are many adjustment options on all combi-drill models.
The harvester settings should be fine-tuned by the operator: according to several factors such as
• the type of crop;
• the maturity of the harvest;
• the fragility of the shoots;
• the humidity level;
• etc.
The correct adjustment of each of the settings, i.e.
• the pick-up reel rotation frequency;
• the speed of the conveyor,
• the frequency of the cutterbar
are all dependent on the settings of the combi-drill.
In any case, Terrateck recommends that you adjust your combi-drill as follows:
!
• maximum speed
• maximum torque
