Do not transport work materials on the implement; the exception is seed in the hopper of a Pneumatic Seeder that may be attached. Accessories must be properly mounted in compliance with standards by qualified specialists from an appropriately authorized company. ...
ATTACHED IMPLEMENTS Only APV machines and accessories may be mounted on the implement. Do not step between the tractor and implement when activating the external control operating unit for the three-point attachment! ...
Components that cannot be removed with tools, such as a screwdriver or wrench, may only be replaced by qualified specialists from an appropriately authorised company or by APV Customer Service. The operator/user must check the implement (each time before use) for any fractures and cracks, leaks, abrasion points, loose bolts or connections, vibration, and correct function.
The platform kit must only be used as a maintenance walkway. A ladder must be made that is in conformance with standards. This ladder is available from APV. When not in use, the steps must be swung upward and secured.
CAUTION! Risk of impact and crushing due to moving implement parts Moving implement parts pose a risk of injuries due to impact or crushing. The danger area includes the area across the entire width of the implement (see Figure 3). Maintain an additional safety distance of 2 m from the implement.
6.8.2 DANGER AREAS WHEN FOLDING AND UNFOLDING Figure 4 RESIDUAL HAZARDS Residual hazards are special hazards when working with the implement that cannot be eliminated despite safety-compliant design. Residual hazards are often not obvious and can be a source of possible injuries or health risks. 6.9.1 DANGER ARISING FROM MECHANICAL SYSTEMS There is a risk of accidents due to crushing, cutting, and impact on body parts...
6.9.3 DANGERS ARISING FROM OPERATION In operation, there is a risk of injury to body parts, particularly the face, due to rocks and clods of soil being flung upwards. INFORMATION SIGNS / HAZARD LABELS Pay attention to the stickers on the implement; they warn of particular hazards! CAUTION! Keep information signs and hazard labels clean If information signs and/or hazard labels become loose or are already detached, they must be replaced...

ATTACHMENT AND DETACHMENT OF THE IMPLEMENT 8.2.1 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS The tractor tire pressure must be selected as specified by the tractor manufacturer. Additional wheel weights can be advantageous for difficult operating conditions. Comply with the information provided by the tractor manufacturer. ...
CAUTION! Only connect the hydraulic hoses when the hydraulic system on the towing vehicle and the implement are depressurized. The lighting and electrical cables (if present) must be connected. The lighting function must be tested. Hydraulic connections for roller (yellow dust caps) Hydraulic connections for chassis (blue dust caps)
CAUTION! Always secure the implement to prevent it from rolling. CAUTION! Prior to uncoupling, you must check again to ensure that the mechanical folding lock is locked in place. CAUTION! Comply with the sequence for locking the pneumatic brake system ! First uncouple the red brake line, then uncouple the yellow brake line.
FOLDING FROM WORK POSITION INTO TRANSPORT POSITION The hydraulic cylinders for depth adjustment of the rollers must be in the maximum possible retracted position. When using the 410 mm toothed ring roller the total length of the clips that are used on the roller cylinders must not exceed 100 mm.
8.5.2 ADJUSTING THE SERIES OF HOLES In addition to depth adjustment, the aggressiveness of each individual tine row can also be changed individually. This makes it possible to compensate for the different levels of wear of the individual tines. For series of holes adjustment, the pins of the tine sections are inserted either in a higher / more forward or deeper / more rear-ward hole (see Figure 23).
1 Crank 2 Locking pins 3 Shear bolt 4 Levelling plate Figure 24 Figure 25 Figure 26 CAUTION! Only operate the crank with one hand; two-hand operation poses a considerable risk of injury (hand or finger injuries). The crank has a slip safeguard for better handling and transmission of force.
NOTE! Note that by removing the rollers, uniform depth guidance may no longer be ensured. For this reason, after dismounting, the rollers must always be replaced by feeler wheels. CAUTION! Only mount or dismount the rollers using the mounting kit for feeler wheels (see point 18.9). Figure 28 Figure 27 Figure 29...
CAUTION! For every folding procedure of the side frames, the operator must visually inspect the folding lock. Road transport of the implement is only permitted if the folding lock is locked in position. TIP! For easier release of the folding lock, briefly charge the folding cylinder with pressure. This fully extends the folding cylinder and the side frame is again completely lifted.
Use environmentally-friendly agents to protect the implement from corrosion during the winter. We expressly state that parts and accessories that are not delivered by APV are neither tested nor are they approved by APV. Consequently, installing and/or using such products can negatively alter or affect the prescribed design characteristics of your implement.
Check the hydraulic hoses for wear, damage, and ageing before every start-up. Damaged or faulty parts must be replaced immediately. The wheel nuts must be checked every 50 km and retightened if necessary. The tightening torque of the wheel nuts is specified in the table below. ...

Do not allow the implement to cover the tractor unit's lighting equipment; if it does the lighting equipment must be installed on the implement. Do not allow the implement to impair or reduce the tractor's steerability! To achieve transport position, i.e. the necessary width for road transport, the side parts as well as the rollers must be completely folded.

16.3 DISPOSAL The implement and the required working materials (working materials such as hydraulic oil) must be disposed of in accordance with local waste disposal regulations for machines. CROP CULTIVATION TIPS FOR USE OF THE GRASSLAND PRO HARROW Seedbed preparation is always required before reseeding. This procedure is optimally accomplished with the Grassland Pro Harrow with 4 tine rows.

Note that with a vented trailer brake valve, the service brake is not active; thus the forward speed imposed by the country-specific regulations for unbraked, towed agricultural machinery, must be complied with. 18.1.1.1 DRAINING A drain valve is provided on the underside of the reservoir. The drain valve must be activated weekly throughout the year and daily in the winter.
