Intended use The Grassland Combi GK 400 M1 is intended as a rear-mounted implement and is designed and built for use in agricultural operations. It is used to prepare the soil for subsequent tillage and use.
General safety-related instructions accident prevention regulations The operator has read and understood this operating manual before handling the implement. The operator must train and instruct their personnel if necessary. The personnel must have read and understood this operating manual before handling the implement. ...
Extreme caution must be taken when changing defective components or tools. Replacing components that cannot be removed with tools such as a screwdriver or wrench may only be replaced by specialist personnel from an appropriately authorised company or by APV Customer Service.
If repairs or maintenance are required on the implement that can only be performed in conjunction with the towing vehicle, this work must be identified by a clearly visible information sign "Caution: maintenance work". Check the nuts and bolts regularly for tight fit and retighten if necessary! ...

After coupling the lower link, turn around the parking support by pulling out the pin, reposition it and then secure. (Fig. 2; Fig. 3) Fig. 3 Fig. 2 Connect the hydraulic hoses to a double-acting control unit. During connection, make sure that the hoses are unpressurised both on the tractor and implement sides.
For normal operation, the pin should be in the middle of the elongated slot. If you want to use the GK 400 M1 with the roller lifted, i.e. the roller in the highest position and the roller cylinder completely retracted, you must firmly attach the top link on the implement side. This position must also be used in road traffic.
Aggressiveness adjustment In addition to the depth, the aggressiveness of the tines relative to one another on the GK 400 M1 can also be changed. To do so, you only have to insert the pins for the harrow rows as desired in a higher or lower hole.
Fig. 8 Use of individual tools With GK 400 M1, it is also possible to use individual tools (levelling plate, harrow, roller) separately or in any combination, e.g. you can use the roller alone by completely extending the roller cylinder.
Put down the implement in a way that the tines are not needlessly strained (roller all the way down, use the parking supports at the front). 10.2 Regular maintenance instructions All bolted connections should be re-tightened at the latest after 3 operating hours and again after 20 hours, and then checked regularly (loose bolts can cause significant consequential damage, which is not covered by the warranty).
Many parts of the Grassland Combi are made of steel or spring steel (such as the frame, tine section, tines, ...) and can be accepted and recycled by a waste disposal plant.

Grassland Combi GK 400 M1 with 2 tine rows. Together with the reconsolidation with a roller, three working procedures are accomplished in one field pass. With its thorough and effective mode of action, the GK 400 M1 can be optimally integrated in your overall management concept.
With the GK 400 M1, we counteract this disadvantage with a roller that presses down the seed and therefore improves soil contact. This allows the seed to germinate more rapidly and the risk of desiccation is reduced.
17.3 Accessories dispersion plate installation on the harrow of the GK Items included: 1 hollow profile 30 x 20 mm, 8 clamping plates for dispersion plates, installation material Order number: 06023-2-030 Fig. 16 17.4 Pneumatic seeder mounting kit for the harrow of the GK (Please note that the pneumatic seed drill must be mounted in compliance with ISO 4254-1.)
