General

Hydraulic System

1. The hydraulic system is pressurized!

2. When connecting hydraulic cylinders and engines,

make sure that the hydraulic hoses are connected

according to specifications!

3. When connecting the hydraulic hoses to the tractor

hydraulics, make sure that all hydraulic pressure

has been released from both the tractor and the

implement!

4. In the case of hydraulic connections between

tractor and implement, the coupling sleeves and

plugs should be marked to ensure a proper

connection! If the connections are switched, the

function will be reversed (e.g. raising/lowering) –

danger of accidents!

5. Check the hydraulic hose lines at regular intervals

and replace them if damaged or worn! The new

hoses must fulfill the technical requirements set by

the manufacturer of the implement!

6. When searching for leaks, suitable aids must be

used, due to the risk of injuries!

7. Liquids escaping under high pressure (hydraulic oil)

can penetrate the skin and cause serious injury!

Seek medical help immediately should injuries

occur! Risk of infection!

8. Before working on the hydraulic system, lower the

implement, depressurize the system and switch off

the engine!

Tyres

1. When working on tyres, ensure that the implement

has been safely set down and secured against

rolling away (wheel chocks).

2. Installing wheels and tyres requires adequate

knowledge and suitable tools!

3. Repair work on the tyres and wheels should be

done by specially trained personnel using

appropriate installation tools only!

4. Check air pressure at regular intervals! Inflate the

tyres to the recommended pressures!

Maintenance

1. Repair, maintenance and cleaning work as well as

the rectification of malfunctions may only ever be

carried out when the drive is switched off and the

engine is at a stand still! Remove the ignition key!

2. Regularly check that nuts and bolts are properly

seated and tighten if necessary!

3. When doing maintenance work to a raised im-

plement, always use suitable means to secure it

against falling.

4. When changing working implements with cutting

edges, use appropriate tools and gloves!

5. Dispose of oils, greases and filters according

to regulations!

6. Always disconnect the power supply before

working on the electrical system!

7. If protective devices and guards are subject to

wear, check them regularly and replace them in

good time!

8. When doing electrical welding on the tractor and

attached implements, disconnect the alternator and

battery cables!

9. Spare parts must at the very least comply with the

technical requirements set by the implement

manufacturer!

This is ensured e.g. by using original spare

parts!

10.Only use nitrogen for filling pneumatic

accumulators - risk of explosion!

2. General preparation for use

2.1 Special safety instructions

• It is essential that the PTO shaft is switched off for all care, maintenance, repair and assembly

work on the rotary swather. Turn off the engine and remove the ignition key. Ensure that the

tractor and rotary swather do not roll away!

• 540 r.p.m. is the maximum speed for the drive.

• Actuating components such as ropes, drawing cables and hydraulic hoses as well as electrical

cables should be laid in such a way that they cannot be activated unintentionally or come into

contact with the tractor wheels. Risk of accidents!

• No one may remain between the tractor and the rotary swather during raising and lowering

operations or below the raised swather arms. High risk of injury!

• Before switching on the PTO shaft, ensure that there is no one in the danger area around the

rotary swather. Risk of accidents!

• Check that the protective devices are fitted in accordance with the guidelines for operation

and use on public roads. Check that the lighting is functioning properly.

• Operating personnel may not leave the tractor during operation! Ensure other persons leave

the danger area!

2.2 Preparations on the tractor

The swather is equipped with category II coupling lugs for

the three-point hydraulics.

The height of the tractor lower link arms should be set so

that the lower link arm pins are

H approx. 65 cm

above the ground.

KS-0-030

3. Mounting on the tractor

• Before attaching and removing implements at the three-point linkage, move the operation

device into a position where there is no possibility of unintentional raising or lowering.

• Use extreme caution when attaching or detaching implements on or from the tractor.

• There is a risk of injury in the three point linkage zone by crushing or cutting.

Comment: It is assumed in the following description that the swather (after final assembly; see appendix) is in the

transport position.

There are three steps to attaching the rotary swather to the tractor:

– attachment to the tractor lower link arm (chap. 3.1)

– hydraulic connections (chap. 3.3)

– connecting the PTO shaft (chap. 3.2)

When attaching the rotary swather, ensure

that nobody is between the rotary swather

and the tractor.

– Install the drip pan for the lower link (1).

– Couple the swather with the lower link arm pin at the

tractor.

required during initial operation of the

rotary swather or if the tractor is changed.

• Take apart the universal drive shaft.

• Clip one half (1) and (2) onto the tractor and the

other to the implement.

(The wide angle coupling must be installed on the

implement. Note the labeling on the universal drive

shaft.)

• Move the rotary swather to the position where the

universal drive shaft is at its shortest. (headstock

steered up to the limit stop)

• The rest of the procedure can be found in the

manual provided by the universal drive shaft

manufacturer.

3.2.2 Attaching the PTO shaft

– Connect the cardan shaft to the PTO shaft.

(The wide-angle coupling must be installed on the

implement. Note the labeling on the cardan shaft.)

– Use the chain (2) to assure that the protective tube (1)

will not also be turned.

•Check PTO shaft swivel space and

clearance! Contact between the PTO

shaft and the tractor or the implement

can lead to damage. (E.g. hitching

device or bracket)

• Make sure that the PTO shaft has the

correct length when changing tractors!

(see chapter 3.2.1)
