Rotor Speed

Attention!

Take precautions

against the

possibility of oil

escaping before

opening the ge-

arbox cover, e.g.

place an oil pan

underneath.

Requirement:

The speed of the rotors may be pre-selected depending on

the tractor power and ambient conditions. This is carried

out either by way of the pre-selected PTO drive shaft

speed of the tractor or by the position of the gearwheels

in the rotary harrow’s transmission.

PTO drive shaft speed:

The recommended speed of the tractor’s PTO drive shaft

is 1000 rpm. The lowest torque occurs at this speed and

this protects the drive components.

The speed of the tractor’s PTO drive shaft may be reduced

to 750 rpm or 540 rpm on soft ground or with a low

working depth.

Reposition gearwheels in rotary harrow’s

transmission:

- Raise the rotary harrow and tilt as far forwards as

possible with the upper link to minimise oil leakage.

Attention!

Risk of crushing! Secure the tractor against

accidental rolling before carrying out any

maintenance or repair work on the rotary

harrow in the attached condition and

secure the rotary harrow against accidental

lowering by using support elements (1)!

- Unscrew gearbox cover (2).

- Attach gearwheels according to table above.

- Screw on gearbox cover (2) and check for leak-

tightness.

- Check gearbox oil level and top up if necessary. (see

section on “Maintenance” for details)

Attention!

Pay attention to

cleanliness when

working on the

open gearbox so

that no dirt gets

into the gears!

Working Depth

Note:

It is recommended

that the adjusting

unit be cleaned in

advance to make

adjustment work

easier.

The working depth of the rotary is determined by the pivot

arc of the attached roller. The pivot arc is limited upwards

by the marking position of the bolts in the frame’s hole on

the right and left-hand sides.

Adjustment:

- Raise rotary harrow

The roller lowers as a result and pressure is relieved

on the bolts.

Attention!

Secure the tractor against accidental

rolling and secure the rotary harrow against

lowering accidentally (1)!

- Remove pin (2) and insert as required.

Lowest position (A) = lowest possible working depth

Uppermost position (B) = highest possible working

depth

The working depth is increased/decreased by 2.5 cm

by each hole position.

- The pins (2) on the right side have to be inserted in the

same position as the pins on the left side.

- Secure pins (2).

Side Shields

Attention!

Among other things

the side shields

are also used as a

protective device.

The drive may

only be switched

on if the side

shields have been

pivoted into the

working position.

The side shields screen access to the outer processing

tines in the working position and support preparation of

the seed bed in that the soil processed cannot escape

to the side.

Variant 1:

Adjustment of transport position:

The side shields may be pivoted into the transport

position to reduce the rotary harrow’s transport width to

less than 3 m.

- Release the side shield using bolt (1)

- Lift the side shield completely and secure in the transport

position using bolt (1)

Variant 2:

Shield guidance by means of parallelogram:

The shield guidance is additionally equipped with a

parallelogram if the rotary harrow is fitted with a row marker

or if it is combined with a seed drill attachment.

Adjustment of shield position in working

position:

The shield position should be adjusted such that the

shield slides through the soil approx. 1 - 2 cm deep

when in use.

The shield position may be adjusted according to the

ambient conditions (e.g. crop residues).

- Open screws (2)

- Adjust desired position

- Tighten screws (2)

The rotary harrow is equipped as standard with a rear

bar and on request with a front bar. The levelling bars are

height adjustable.

Adjustment of rear bar:

- Take the eccentric lever (aid for easier adjustment) out

of parking position (1)

- Insert eccentric lever (2) into the first free hole in the

arm of the levelling bar and pivot until bolt (3) is relieved

of pressure and can be removed.

- Pivot eccentric lever further until the levelling bar can

be positioned in the next holed using bolt (3).

- Repeat the process until the desired position of the

levelling bar is achieved.

- Place the eccentric lever in the parking position (1).

USE

Use

Attention!

All people must be directed out of the

hazard area and all protective devices must

be completely attached before the rotary

harrow’s drive is switched on!

Starting work:

On the field, lower the rotary harrow to just above the

soil and only then bring the PTO drive shaft up to the

intended speed.

Approach with the tractor and lower the rotary harrow

completely whilst doing so.

Turning:

Only raise the rotary harrow as far as necessary for the

turning procedure. If the PTO drive shaft is only angled

slightly in the process, it may continue to run.

The PTO drive shaft must be switched off if the machine

runs noisily in the raised condition.

Blockages:

The PTO drive shaft is equipped with an overload clutch to

intercept any blockages on stony ground or other obstacles

without damaging the rotary harrow.

Removing blockages:

- stop the tractor

- Raise the rotary harrow and reduce the speed of the

PTO drive shaft at the same time.

If the rotors are free from blockages, the cam-type

cut-out clutch of the PTO drive shaft engages again

audibly due to the reduced speed and work may be

continued.

The rotors must be freed of the blockage or obstacle if

they do not start to rotate.

Attention!

Secure the tractor against accidental

rolling and secure the rotary harrow against

lowering accidentally (1)!

Switch off the rotary harrow’s drive!

Attention!

Despite the protec-

tive covers, there

is a possibility

that objects will

be thrown out by

the rotary harrow.

People must be

directed out of

the hazard area!

ROW MARKER

Function:

The disk row markers are activated hydraulically with a

single-action control unit.

Both row markers are raised if the control unit is switched

to “Raise”.

The left and right-hand row marker alternately is brought

into the working position if the control unit is switched to

“lower” (floating position).

Adjustment:

Set row marker at centre of tractor (M) or tractor tyres (M1):

- To determine M / M1, the following formula has to be

applied:

M = (A + R ) / 2

Example: (300 + 12)/2 = 156 cm

M1 = M - S/2 = (A+R)/2 - S/2

A… Working width in cm

R… Row distance in cm

M… Dimension from tractor center in cm

M1… Dimension from inner tyre in cm

S… Tractor's track in cm

- Pivot the row marker into the working position and

adjust the determined dimension (A) at adjustment

point (2) according to the adjacent diagram.

Adjust row marker grip:

- the disk axle may be rotated at the adjustment point

(1). The desired grip can be adjusted according to the

soil conditions.

Collision lock:

The row markers are fitted with a shearable screw (As).

If the row marker encounters a solid obstacle, this screw

shears off and the row marker goes round the obstacle.

It is advisable to carry a shearable screw on the tractor.

Note!

Use only original Pöttinger parts! Screws

with a different tensile strength may cause

damage to the machine!

Transport setting:

The row markers are fitted with a transport lock. They

must be set in the transport position at fixing point (3)

and secured.

Attention!

The row markers must be secured for

road transport using the transport lock to

prevent them from pivoting accidentally

during the journey!
