LHR-2 Operation Power take-off engagement/disengagement The speed-independent power take-off can be disengaged and has a PTO speed of 960 rpm at an engine speed of 3.600 rpm. The power take-off is engaged/disengaged with shift lever D, which is located on the right-hand steering shaft.
Page 24
LHR-2 Operation The power take-off can only be engaged if the power take-off lever can be pulled easily to the rear. If it blocks, the clutch/safety stop lever must be released and depressed a few times at a low engine speed until the power take-off can be engaged easily without force. Apart from that, it is important to remember that the power take-off may only be engaged when the clutch/safety stop lever is not depressed.
Operation Stationary wheel lock Luchs Hydro LHR-2 is equipped with a stationary wheel lock. You should always use this when the engine is stopped and/or the terrain is steep. Do not use it while driving, as other- wise damage can occur.
LHR-2 Operation Engine There is a choice of four-stroke petrol engines for lead-free normal petrol, or four-stroke diesel motors, which may only be operated with pure diesel oil. During the first 20 hours of operation (the running-in period) the engine should not be operated up to its performance limit.
LHR-2 Operation Throttle lever The throttle lever is located on the right-hand steering shaft (see fig. 23). Please ensure that it is adjusted correctly in accor- dance with the engine manufacturer’s operating man- ual. Engine speed regulation according to type of use (for minimisation of noise and vibration) The engine speed can be read from the operating hour meter.

LHR-2 Maintenance General instructions for working on hydraulic systems For reasons of safety, hose and pipe joints, connections and devices may not be loosened when the system is under pressure. Before doing so, the engine must be switched off and the pressure accumulator relieved. If the machine was in operation for a long period before maintenance, the oil and oil con- tainer are very hot!! Before undoing screw connections, the surrounding area must be cleaned.

LHR-2 Maintenance The clutch is actuated via the clutch/safety stop lever. The clutch is disengaged when the lever is not depressed, i.e. the engine does not propel the ma- chine and the hydraulic drive is blocked (see fig. 37), the engine continues to run. In order to avoid slippage of the clutch during work, the play and spring tension of the clutch lever are adjusted in the factory (see fig.
LHR-2 Maintenance Drive wheels Warning! Secure the tractor against rolling away! It causes crushing injuries. Never reach into the crushing danger zone if parts can still move there. • The tyre pressures must be checked regularly. • In particular, it must be ensured that the tyre pressures of both wheels are equal in order to guarantee effortless driving.
LHR-2 Maintenance Twist-grip The twist-grip on the steering shaft should be lubricated via the grease nipple at least once per year or 25 hours of operation. The grease nipple is located on the bottom of the twist-grip hous- ing (see fig. 40). Inject grease until it runs out of the upper outlet aperture. Throttle lever Outlet aperture Grease nipple...
