DESCRIPTION
The ‘Tedd-Air 570” is specially designed for forage tedding and spreading by means of rotating spring
tines (double hook tines) attached to rotors. Forward angled rotors allow the spring tines to gently collect,
turn and lay the forage behind the machine. Gentle airing and even tedding, accelerates the drying process.
The need for extended drying time and dependency on spells of good weather is reduced to preserve
valuable nourishing substances. The tedder is constructed with support wheels so that the height of each
rotor remains constant to the working surface; this allows the tedder to collect the forage cleanly and
consistently in spite of its large working width and permits efficient operation on sloping or rough terrain.
The spring tines are made of high quality steel and fixed in a manner that enables spring flexibility. The
machine can be attached to any type of tractor that has three-point linkage (CAT 2) and hydraulic
connections. It machine is driven by a “cardan” PTO shaft.
SAFETY INFORMATION
In the interest of safety, it is important that great care is adopted at all times during the attachment,
transportation, operation and maintenance of this machine. Both the owner and the operator of the
machine should read and understand the following section to ensure the safety of themselves and all other
persons who enter into the close proximity of these machines.
In addition to the instructions stated here always abide by general safety and accident regulations.
• Safety and warning decals placed on the machine give important instructions for safe work take
them into consideration for your safety and the safety of others.
• While driving on public roads always abide traffic signs and road regulations.
• Familiarise yourself with the controls and functions of the machine and practice them in a safe
location before attempting to work.
• Never approach this machine whilst it is working or running. Always switch off the machine and
wait until it has stopped fully before approaching.
• Do not wear loose fitting clothing in the vicinity of this machine.
• Check no one is near, or on, the machine before attempting to start or transport it. Ensure your
visibility is kept clear at all times.
• Implements should always be attached according to the manufacturer’s instructions and fastened
correctly to the prescribed devices using the correct components.
• When disconnecting the machine from the tractor, select a firm level site and use the supports legs.
• Take care when disconnecting the machine from the tractor.
• Ensure controls for the machine are positioned such that the machine cannot accidentally be started
during transport.
• For transportation on the road, prepare and secure the machine according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.

• Never leave the driver seat whilst the tractor of the machine is running.
• Never attempt to operate a machine without its safety devices fitted or incorrectly secured.
• Always place the machine in a safe position before leaving the tractor. Lower the implement
completely, switch off the engine and remove the ignition key.
• Never permit anyone between the machine and the tractor whilst either is working or when the
machine is in a raised position.
• Be aware at all times of the width, height and length of any machinery you are operating, especially
when transporting on the public highway or near obstructions.
• Ensure the work area is clear of obstructions before starting work (clear stones, wires, glass or any
other dangerous objects from the work site before attempting to start work).
• Do not operate the machine without safety guards or if the guards are damaged.
• Do not drive the machine through the forage when the rotor is on the ground and not rotating. This
causes damage to the tines and tine arms.
Please Note: The manufacturer does not guarantee the tedder compliance with the applicable
laws, in particular those relating to accidents prevention and pollution, of non-EU countries.
The adjustment of the tedder to these regulations will be entirely under the Client’s own
responsibility. The manufacturer is not liable for any kind of damage that could arise from the
non-compliance of those rules.
SAFETY DECALS
Read the operator’s manual carefully before you operate the machine.
Keep away from the folding area of the rotors .
Keep away from all moving/rotating parts

OPERATING THE MACHINE
When connecting the tedder on the tractor for the first time, check the length of the PTO shaft according to
the PTO shaft manufacturer′s manual. Use only PTO shafts with a built-in safety coupling.
To connect the machine to the tractor, make sure the front axle weight of the tractor is sufficient (use
front weights if necessary) to lift the tedder. Make sure the tractor is aligned with the tedder. Make sure
the three-point hitch arms of the tractor are at an equal height. Fit the lower arms to the linkage pins (CAT
2) of the tree-point hitch. Attack the top link of the tractor to the machine with a pin (CAT2 top link).
Once the tedder has been attached to the three-point linkage of the tractor, raise tedder, check if the
transport pin is in the correct position & retract the stands. Turn off the tractor before installing the PTO
shaft. Make sure that the PTO shaft telescopes smoothly. Connect the machine PTO shaft to the tractor
PTO shaft. Remove dust cup from the hydraulic hose. Connect the hydraulic hose to the tractor. Permitted
maximum oil pressure is 210 bar (21 MPa). Put the end of the control cord of the ram safety lock in the
tractor cab.
Before placing the machine into working position, you must remove the transport
pin. After that the machine must be first lowered to the ground. Pressure tedder rams, pull the cord to
release the transport locks and lower the wings on the hydraulic rams

To make a turn or to drive to another position in the field, operate the tractor hydraulics to lift the rotors
from the ground
Wheel Positions:
There are three wheel-position during the operation with a lever. The wheel position selected will dictate
the working position of the machine, flexibility is retained by the pivoting headstock. The three wheel
positions available are:.
A: Left B: Straight C: Right
CAUTION: When changing from working to transport mode select a flat site and be sure
that the lever is in the position B and the rotors are not rotating.
Note: The term “Right” or “Left” indicated in the description is to be understood when looking at the
implement from the rear.

Rotor Height
The rotor height can be adjusted in order to achieve the required clearance of the front spring tines from
the ground (about 2cm). Adjustment is made with the tractor top link. This setting is a default setting. The
height adjustment of the tines must be adapted to the field conditions in practice. Ensure during work that
the spring tines do not ‘break’ the surface of the ground as this may cause damage to the machine and also
contaminate the forage with soil. If possible, take the swathes in between the rotors.
Rotor Angle
The rotor angle can be adjusted to any of three positions, the angle choices are: A, B and C. The angle
setting is determined and selected by the choice of hole in the wheel axle fixing bracket the attachment pin
is located in. The standard and most commonly used position is the hole position B.
For large quantities of forage where more intensive scattering is required the rotor angle should be
increased by selecting the hole position A, alternatively, for lesser quantities of forage the rotor angle can
be decreased by selection of the hole position C.
Position A, B and C
PTO rpm and tractor speed
If the forage is heavy drive with higher speed and not so high tractor speed. The dryer the forage the
smaller the P.T.O. speed to be chosen in order to avoid damages to the forage. Tractor speed must be
adapted to the condition of the forage
After placing the machine into the transport position, you must add the transport pin to the correct
position (please see page 8).
Please Note: The rotor height & angle, PTO shaft rpm and tractor speed described above
are standards and must be adapted to the field conditions in practice.
