Product liability, information obligation

Product liability obliges manufacturers and dealers to issue operating instructions for the machine at the point of sale and to instruct

the customer on the operation, safety and maintenance regulations governing the machine.

A confirmation is required to verify that the machine and operating instructions have been handed over correctly.

For this purpose

- Document A is to be signed and returned to Pöttinger or via the internet to www.poettinger.at

- Document B remains with the specialist dealer handing over the machine.

- The customer receives document C.

For the purposes of product liability law, every farmer is an entrepreneur.

In the terms of product liability law, damage to property is any damage arising due to the machine, but not to the machine, and an

excess (500 euros) exists for this liability.

Corporate damage to property within the terms of the product liability law is excluded from this liability.

Be advised! The operating instructions must also be handed over with any subsequent machine sale or transfer and the transferee

must be instructed in the regulations stated.

HITCHING TO TRACTOR

Preparing the tractor

Wheels

- Air pressure in the tractor's rear tyres should be 0.8 bar

when working.

- Under heavy working conditions additional wheel weights

can be advantageous. See the tractor manufacturer's

operating manual also.

Ballast weights

The front of the

tractor is to have

sufficient ballast to

guarantee braking

and steering

abilities

At least 20% of the

tractor’s tare weight

on the front axle!

Lifting gear

- The left and right lifting struts (4) must be the same

length.

Adjust using adjuster (3).

- If lifting struts (4) can be pinned at various positions

on the lower links, then select the back position (H). In

doing this, the tractor’s hydraulics will not be so greatly

overloaded.

- Pin (2) upper link (1) in accordance with the

manufacturer’s specifications.

Setting-up for transportation

- Secure lower links with struts (5) so that attached

implement cannot swing out during transportation.

- The operating lever for the hydraulics must be secured

against lowering.

20%

Kg

Hydraulic control on the lifting gear

Control position:

For mounting and dismounting the implement and for

transportation.

The control position is the normal setting for the lifting

gear hydraulics.

The mounted

implement remains at

the height (= position)

set by the servo-valve

(ST).

Preparing the implement

Mounting axle

Install correct mounting bar on tractor’s lifting gear which

corresponds to the connecting size (Category II or III).

See Spare Parts List also.

Hitching to tractor

- Switch tractor’s hydraulics to control position.

- Attach implement to lower link and secure with linch

pin.

Position upper link (1)

- Position upper link (1) so that the attachment point (P1) on

the implement is somewhat higher than the attachment

point (P2) on the tractor even during operation.

Connecting hydraulic hoses

Dual-action control unit with floating position

- Connect pressure line (1) and oil-return pipe (2)

Conversion from working to transport

position

1. Lifting the implement with the lower link of the

tractor.

2. Swivelling the working sections

Note: It is only possible to swivel the

working sections if the implement has a

working width of > 3m.

- Ensure that the swivel range is free and that there

is nobody in the hazard area.

- Move servo-valve (ST) to "raise" position

The working sections of the implement are swivelled

to "Transport position".

- Hydraul. Cut off ballcock (A)

Conversion from transport to working

position

1. Swivelling the working sections

Note: It is only possible to swivel the

working sections if the implement has a

working width of > 3m.

- Hydraul. Open ballcock (A)

- Ensure that the swivel range is free and that there

is nobody in the hazard area.

- Move servo-valve (ST) to “RAISE” position until

transport safeguard is disengaged and safety device

is released.

Safety information!

Changing from

working to trans-

port position is

only to be carried

out on even, firm

ground.

Be advised!

If machine is lowered when transport

safeguard is NOT disengaged or safety

device NOT released, then damage can

occur!

- Set control valve (ST) to "LOWER".

The working sections of the implement are swivelled

into "Working position".

SETTINGS

Settings for use

1. The implement must be attached to the tractor in a

horizontal state. It should not tip to one side.

2. The front and rear tine rows should both penetrate the

ground at the same depth working depth).

The length of the frame should be parallel to the field

surface when longitudinally viewed.

3. Fix the lower linkage so that the implement cannot swing

out to the side.

SETTINGS GB

Hollow discs

- serve to evenly level the ground surface.

Setting the hollow discs

* This setting should accommodate the operational

conditions accordingly (ground type, speed and

straw cover on the ground).

* The hollow discs are initially set at the desired working

depth.

Only a fine adjustment is necessary.

* If clogging occurs then the hollow discs can be

moved back to the holes (2a).

086-14-001

Roller

* This setting should accommodate the operational

conditions accordingly (ground type, speed and

straw cover on the ground).

* If clogging occurs the roller can be shifted in the

holes (3a) toward the back.

Jockey wheel

Height setting:

1. Turn crank (1) 180° upwards. The handle is now facing

upwards.

2. Turn crank (1) until the required working depth is reached.

3. Bring crank (1) back in parking position.

Harrow bar (only for mounted machines)

1. Integrated reversing protection:

If a harrow is caught in the ground when reversing, the

whole harrow bar can turn to the direction of travel, thanks

to the bearing around the pin (1). This prevents harrow

from breaking off.

2. Harrow wear:

The integrated reversing protection has a further storage

position (2). Insert the pin in position (2) when the harrow

in position (1) can no longer touch the ground.

1

2

Note:

Always insert both pins, left and right on

the harrow bar, in the same position.

3. Lateral movement:

The track of every single harrow can be adjusted on the

harrow bar because of their individual mounting.

Loosen both screws (3) on the required harrow and slide

it sideways.

4. Fitting additional harrows or removing single

harrows:

Fit or remove harrows using the the screws (3).

HARROW BAR GB

5. Setting the harrow tilt:

Adapt the harrow tilt to the ground using the hole pattern

(4). The further the pins are set back in the hole pattern

(in the direction of travel), the flatter the harrow.

4

Note:

Always insert both pins, left and right on

the harrow bar, in the same position.

6. Adjusting the distance of the bar to the trailing

implement.

Depending on the trailing implement being used, there

is an ideal position (a, b, c) for the harrow bar which not

only recognizes the soil working quality, but also the force

affecting the headstock.

abc

Position a: Cutting ring roller, rubber packer roller

Position b: Cutting packer roller

Position c: Conical segmental roller

Note:

Always insert both pins, left and right on

the harrow bar, in the same position.

7. Setting the harrow bar for the working depth

of the Terradisc:

Using the hole pattern (5), adjust the harrow bar holder tilt

angle to the working depth of the Terradisc.

5

Note:

Always insert both pins, left and right on

the harrow bar, in the same position.

8. Securing in transport position:

The harrow bar is secured automatically via the sawtooth

blade (6) when swivelled up into the transportation position.

6

Check the sawtooth blade regularly for dirt and grime, but

particularly if the harrow bar shakes during transportation.
