Page 9: Other Safety Regulations
CS 300-400 Other safety regulations ! VERY IMPORTANT! Retighten screw connections according to the table. See “1.4 Retight- ening of screw connections” see page 11 . • As the implement is heavy, front counterweights should normally be mounted on the tractor. Always ensure that the tractor has a sufficient load on the front axle for safe driving. - Page 10 Safety regulations • Any welding work on the machine should maintain a professional standard. Incorrect welding may result in serious injuries or possibly fatal injuries. If in doubt, contact a professional welding service for proper instructions. • Never stand under the implement if it is only secured with the tractor’s three-point lift!

Page 13: Moving The Machine When Not Hitched To A Tractor
CS 300-400 Moving the machine when not hitched to a tractor NOTE! If the machine must be moved when not hitched to a tractor,it must be transported on a machine trailer or lorry flatbed! Mounted machines must be lifted onto and off the transport vehicle using a crane, whilst semi- mounted machines must be rolled onto and off the transport vehicle using a tractor. - Page 14 Safety regulations 1.6.2 Rolling on and off of semi-mounted CS 300-400 1 Raise the machine to the full lifting height. 2 Reverse the machine lengthwise onto the trailer or flatbed. If using a flatbed, a ramp, loading pier or similar will be required. Take great care. Check that no machine parts are damaged during loading.

CS 300-400 Instructions and settings Tractor ! The CS 300-350 is intended for tractors up to 160 hp (118 kW). The CS 400 is intended for tractors up to 200 hp (147 kW). The use of tractors with higher outputs can result in more rapid wear of the implement. -
Page 16: Hitching And Unhitching The Implement
Instructions and settings Hitching and unhitching the implement Figure 2.1 2.2.1 Hitching Hitch the implement to the tractor and connect any hydraulic hoses. Do not stand between the trac- tor and the implement when the tractor is being reversed to hitch the implement! 2.2.2 Unhitching When unhitching the machine, it is important to ensure that all the tines have roughly the same... - Page 17 CS 300-400 2.2.3 Choice of coupling points Figure 2.2 The implement is adapted for a category II or III three-point coupling. In order to minimise the lifting power requirement, the top rod should be mounted in a high cou- pling point on the tractor and a low coupling point on the implement. The round hole (A) is used if you want to use the length of the top rod to adjust the height of the front part of the implement.

Page 18: Setting The Levelling Units
Instructions and settings Setting the levelling units Figure 2.4 The height of the levelling units is adjusted using a crank handle. The crank handle has two alter- native mounting points in the levelling units, so that optimum height adjustment should always be possible. - Page 19 CS 300-400 2.3.1 Adjustable outer levelling discs Figure 2.6 Individually adjustable levelling discs can be found outermost on either side. These enable opti- mum levelling in the corridors between each driven pass. Depending on working depth, soil type, etc., it may be appropriate to perform adjustment to avoid the formation of trailing lea lines or fur- rows.

Page 22: Adjusting Parallel Alignment, Hydraulically Mounted
Instructions and settings Adjusting parallel alignment, hydraulically mounted Figure 2.12 The height of the front part of the implement is adjusted with the length of the top rod or the height of the hydraulic lifting arms, depending on which coupling point has been selected in the imple- ment’s tower, see “2.2.3 Choice of coupling points”... -
Page 23: Adjusting Parallel Alignment, Trailed
CS 300-400 Adjusting parallel alignment, trailed Figure 2.13 The parallel alignment of the implement is determined by the height of the tractor’s lifting arms. When driving in the field, adjustment takes place when checking that the implement is being pulled parallel with the ground. NOTE! Poor parallel alignment can result in the implement being unstable when in motion. -
Page 24: Adjusting The Scrapers
Instructions and settings Adjusting the scrapers Scrapers for rubber ring compactors 2-16 mm Figure 2.14 Adjust the scrapers to ensure the gap between the tips and the rubber rings is 2-16 mm. The rec- ommended basic setting is 6 mm. If the rubber compactor does not run cleanly, adjust the scrapers in steps close to the compaction roller, although no closer than 2 mm. -
Page 25: Operating Instructions And Cultivating Tips
CS 300-400 Operating instructions and cultivating tips Driving directions Figure 3.1 1 The first pass should take place immediately after harvesting and at an angle of 20°-40° to the harvesting direction. 2 The second pass should take place at 20°-40° to the previous pass. When turning on the headland, you can choose only to raise the towed machine at the three-point linkage. - Page 26 Operating instructions and cultivating tips The final pass before sowing must not take place in the same direction as the intended sowing di- rection. Finish by driving as wide on the headland as you subsequently intend to sow this area, to give an indication of where the bouts are to start and finish.
