Page 14: Installation
Tractor Suitability The recommended tractor for the TSP 1900 is four-wheel drive with 134 kW (180 bhp). This power may need to be varied to achieve optimum output under different crop conditions and depending on the specification of the harvester. -
Page 15: Attaching The Harvester
INSTALLATION 1.10 Attaching the Harvester The operator should have read and understood the tractor operator's manual prior to attaching the machine and putting it to work. The harvester chassis should be nominally level. If the chassis is in a nose up attitude or extremely nose down, the drawbar eye (item 2, fig 1) should be adjusted accordingly to compensate. -
Page 16: Pto Shaft
1.11 INSTALLATION PTO Shaft It is essential that the PTO shaft be matched to the tractor to give the correct drive-line and to ensure that it is safe in work. An incorrectly fitted or badly guarded PTO shaft can be lethal. Do not take chances. The standard specification machine is geared to operate at 1000 rpm PTO speed. -
Page 17: Harvester Wheel Setting
INSTALLATION 1.12 Harvester Wheel Setting The harvester wheels are adjustable to suit wheelings of 68” to 96”. Before commencing wheel adjustment, ensure adequate jacks and axle stands are available along with suitable wheel chocks. It is important that the harvester is correctly fitted to the tractor and the handbrake is fully applied while wheel adjustments are made. - Page 18 1.13 INSTALLATION Fig 5...

Page 19: Operation
OPERATION 1.14 Digger Assembly The digger assembly, which includes the depth wheels, disc coulters, shares, primary web, secondary web and agitators, is controlled by two hydraulic rams which raise and lower the digger assembly in and out of work. Before attempting to operate the digger assembly, the transport chains (item 1, fig 6) need to be unhooked from the chassis and hung on the stowage hook (item 2, fig 6). -
Page 20: Automatic Depth Control
1.15 OPERATION Automatic Depth Control Setting the in-cab console ‘AUTO DEPTH ON’ switch to its down position brings the automatic depth control into circuit. The ‘DIGGER SHARE’ switch operates the system. Selecting ‘DIGGER SHARE RAISE’ will manually raise the digger assembly, while selecting ‘DIGGER SHARE LOWER’... -
Page 21: Disc Coulters
OPERATION 1.16 Disc Coulters For two row work the harvester is fitted with four disc coulters (item 1, fig 10), and for full width bed work, with two. The disc coulters run on either side of the ridge, cutting and parting the haulm and trash in front of the shares whilst at the same time containing the ridge and feeding it over the shares onto the digger web. -
Page 22: Primary Web
1.17 OPERATION Primary Web The standard specification machine is fitted with a 1830mm wide primary web. Various web pitches can be fitted to suit particular crop and soil conditions. The primary web is driven by the motor gearbox unit (Item 1, fig 12). The switch marked ‘PRIMARY WEB’ on the in-cab console (item 1, fig 14) starts/stops the web and the dial controls the web speed. -
Page 23: Transfer Stars
OPERATION 1.18 Adjusting the speed will vary the frequency of agitation. The faster the speed the more separation takes place, but also more bruising damage may occur. The amount of agitation necessary will depend on the crop and soil conditions encountered. Transfer Stars A pair of transfer stars are fitted immediately behind the secondary web. - Page 24 Sizer Units The TSP 1900 can be fitted with either a single sizer unit or a twin sizer unit. The single- sizer unit is made up of a 7 roller sizer only. The twin-sizer unit is made up of a 4 roller sizer feeding onto a 7 roller sizer.

1.21 OPERATION LH & RH Booms The booms are designed to fold in for transport and open out for work when loading into trailers running alongside. The speed of the boom webs is controlled by the dials on the boom operator’s console (item 1, fig 20) marked ‘LEFT HAND BOOM’... -
Page 27: Hydraulic Systems
OPERATION 1.22 Hydraulic Systems Circuit 1 – Auxiliary Hydraulics Circuit 1 is powered from the tractor hydraulics and delivers oil to the hydraulic rams and RH boom motor. A minimum supply of 50 litres/minute (80 litres/minute maximum) is fed through the pressure filter (item 1, fig 29) into the inlet section of the auxiliary valve bank (see fig 21). - Page 28 1.23 OPERATION Circuit 2 Circuit 2 is powered by the RH pump (item 1, fig 22). The pump is fed from the RH suction filter (item 2, fig 22) submerged in the chassis front beam. The oil is fed through the pressure filter (item 1, fig 30) to the front 3-section valve (see fig 23).

Page 32: Harvesting
1.27 HARVESTING Starting Off Your Harvester Before commencing work whether starting off a new machine or starting work in a new field, it is advisable to carry out the following checks. Ensure the harvester is level when hitched to the tractor. Ensure the hydraulic and electrical connections from the tractor are correctly made and are secure. - Page 33 HARVESTING 1.28 The speed and efficiency of mechanical harvesting can be greatly improved by good planting techniques and adequate cultivation methods. Visually check behind the harvester. If cut or sliced potatoes are evident, the digging depth or disc settings may be incorrect.
-
Page 34: Getting The Best Results During Harvesting
1.29 HARVESTING In stony conditions: In stony ground a stone can become wedged between the share blades preventing penetration. Make sure discs are kept sharp so that they cut the haulm and prevent wrapping and blockages around the roller mountings. Damage prevention: Do not hold the crop on the Omega unit longer than necessary. - Page 35 HARVESTING 1.30 Depth Wheels Ensure the depth wheels are set to the correct width settings for your particular system. Double check as sometimes with ridging up during the growing season the ridge positions can vary. Do not apply too much pressure on the depth wheels. As a result of too much pressure, clods could be produced and soil made to stick to the crop.
- Page 36 1.31 HARVESTING The clod rollers will normally be adjusted to run approximately 1 to 2 mm away from the tip of the scrolls for effective haulm removal. Booms Correct boom speed is essential. The objective is to have the speed as slow as possible, filling every compartment with crop.

Page 37: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE 1.32 Maintenance of the Hydraulic Systems The components utilised in the design of the hydraulic systems have been chosen for their maintenance free characteristics. Should it be necessary to remove any of the hydraulic components, cleanliness is of the utmost importance. Before breaking any connection in the system, ensure the surrounding area is clean. - Page 38 1.33 MAINTENANCE The two suction filter elements should be replaced after the first 50 hours running time and then every 500 hours or annually thereafter. The suction filter elements are serviced as follows: Wind the suction filter screw (item 5, fig 28) fully out anti-clockwise to close the cut-off valve within the filter housing.

Page 41: Split Web Drive Sprockets
MAINTENANCE 1.36 Split Web Drive Sprockets Split web drive sprockets (item 1, fig 33) on some web drive shafts. The sprockets allow for worn sprockets to be replaced or alternative pitch sprockets to be fitted without dismantling the drive shafts. Most drive sprockets will have been split on initial installation, but if not, they should be split with a hammer and sharp chisel. -
Page 42: Machine Lubrication
MAINTENANCE Machine Lubrication Regular lubrication will ensure that the Standen TSP 1900 provides a long and efficient service life. Depending on soil and weather conditions, the service schedule can vary. It is recommended that the harvester be given a thorough inspection at least weekly during the working season and at this time the machine should be greased and the gearbox oil levels checked. -
Page 43: Weekly Maintenance
Check stars and scrolls and replace any worn parts. Check metalwork (e.g. side plates) for any damage or wear and repair or replace as necessary. Replace the pressure and suction filter elements Use only genuine Standen replacement parts. Out of Season Storage The machine can frequently operate in soils which contain residual chemical fertilisers etc. - Page 44 1.39 MAINTENANCE After carrying out the hydraulic residual pressure dump procedure, any parts of hydraulic cylinders rods that are still exposed should be greased or oiled to prevent corrosion. Ensure that the tyres are inflated to the correct pressure. Ensure that the hydraulic hose quick release couplings and the electrical connectors on the machine are kept clean and dry.
