Tractor

The following tractor requirements are necessary to operate this machine:

- Tractor output:

from 34KW/45HP to 75kW/100HP

max. 3500 kg tare weight

- Attaching:

Lower link Cat. II

Lifting gear with single-action hydraulics (lifting gear must be switched to

floating position for operation)

- Connections:

see Table "Hydraulic and electrical connections required"

Lifting unit (three-point linkage)

-

The tractor’s lifting unit (three-point linkage) must be

designed for the applicable load. (See technical data)

-

The lifting struts must be set at the same length using

the relevant adjusting equipment

(See the tractor manufacturer’s operating manual)

-

If the lifting struts on the lower links can be fixed in

different positions, then the rear position must be

selected. This relieves the pressure on the tractor’s

hydraulic system.

-

The limiting chains and/or stabilisers for the lower

linkage must be adjusted so that lateral movement of

the hitched implements is not possible. (Safety measure for transportation)

CAUTION

Risk of minor or moderate injury from material being

•

Ensure that nobody enters the danger area

around the machine.

•

Refer people out of the danger area.

•

Special care is necessary on stony ground,

near houses, roads and paths.

CAUTION

Risk of minor or moderate injury due to the long-term

noise level of 85dB(A) or more.

•

Use hearing protection when the noise level

in the tractor's cab reaches 85 dB(A) or

above.

-

For tedding, slowly engage the p.t.o. shaft away from

the crop and bring the rotor up to full speed.

-

Smoothly increasing the p.t.o. speed will avoid system-

related noises from the p.t.o. shaft free-running.

-

Adjust the driving speed to suit the terrain and crop.

Turning

-

Raise the implement for turning. The p.t.o. may remain

switched on.

Damping struts

WARNIN

G

Risk of injury resulting in death or other serious injury

from tilting the tractor/trailer unit when driving round

bends on a slope.

•

If the machine is ﬁtted with a three-point

pivoting headstock, model "N", the machine

automatically pivots into the centre position

when lifting with the lifting device. This can

lead to hazardous situations on slopes due

to the machine's inertia (tipping, slipping,

material breakage, etc.)

The damping struts (D) ensure that the swivelling

procedure is not jerky, but slow and continuous.

For working on slopes, we recommend the use of

damping bars (D), as these increase driving safety.

Adjusting the damping value:

How hard or soft the damping struts react can be adjusted

here.

1.

Change the damping setting with the countered screw

(1).

TIP

The behaviour of both damping struts should be as equal

as possible.

1

Setting the strut lengths:

Adjust the strut length so that there is approx. 1 mm clear

-

ance between the heart and the centre bolt on each side

when the combination is fully impacted.

Working instructions:

1.

Jack-knife the combination completely

2.

Check the lateral play of the centre bolt on the inside

of the curve (1). Play should be about 1 mm.

3.

Change the lengths of the damping struts:

a.

Straighten the combination

b.

Remove pins from rear end of cylinder rod

c.

Extend cylinder rod

TIP

Reduce the damping value if the piston rod cannot

be pulled out (see "setting the damping value").

Once the length has been changed, reset to the

original damping value.

d.

Adjust the length of the cylinder rod using the

adjusting screw

e.

Refit the cylinder rod

f.

Jack-knife the combination - check the play - repeat

procedure until play is correctly set.

g.

Repeat for the other damping struts

Working on slopes

If the machine is raised using the lifting gear during

cornering, then it automatically swivels to the middle

position. This can lead to hazardous situations on slopes

due to the machine's inertia (tipping, slipping, material

breakage, etc.).

Adjusting the working height

WARNIN

G

Risk of injury resulting in death or other serious

injury from reaching into the tines.

•

Activate the upper link only when the tines

are still.

-

The working height is set by adjusting the upper linkage.

Setting the rotor angle

WARNIN

G

The machine starting to move or being tipped may lead

to risk of an injury resulting in death or other serious

injury during setting, maintenance or repair work.

•

Before carrying out setting, mainenance or

repair work to the machine, switch off the

tractor engine and remove the key from the

ignition.

•

Do not work under the machine without it

being supported safely.

Three different angles can be set via the hole pattern (A).

Much fodder = large angle.

Less fodder = small angle.

Tine adjustment

CAUTION

Risk of a minor or moderate injury due to being parts

being flung.

•

Before every use, check that the tines are in

perfect condition and not broken.

•

Replace any suspect tines immediately.

The tine position can be changed by turning the tine

holder (80).

•

Position "S1"

Standard setting (factory setting)

•

Position "S2"

For difficult conditions e.g. very dense, heavy fodder.

The spreading effect is increased in this tine position.

Field edges can be cleared by swivelling the running wheels.

1.)

Swivelling individual running wheels

-

Press the adjusting lever (7) down

-

Swivel the wheels to the right or left

-

Allow the adjusting lever to re-engage in the required

position.

Note

The tilting axles also allow boundary tedding with three-point

machines. The swivel range (9) is used to the maximum

in this working position.

Therefore the machine must be raised when curving away

from the field edge or at the end of the field.
