    3. WARNING STICKERS 3.1 General Instructions The LEMKEN Giant 1000 is equipped with all devices ensuring a safe operation. Where danger spots of the implement could not be safeguarded sufficiently, warning stickers are fitted which point to the remaining danger spots.
  • Page 13: Preparation Of Tractor

    4. PREPARATION OF TRACTOR 4.1 Tyres Ensure that all tyres- especially the rear ones - are at identical pressure. For heavy conditions it may be necessary to add wheel weights and/or water ballast. (See Manufacturer's Instructions). 4.2 Hitch Coupling The system trac GIANT must only be used with tractors equipped with a drawbar clevis.
  • Page 14: Attaching And Detaching The Implement

    5. ATTACHING AND DETACHING THE IMPLEMENT 5.1 Attaching to the tractor The system trac GIANT must be parked, only, with folded in wing sections. The tractor must be equipped with a which is designed for upwards and downwards loads of 20 KN (2,0 t). The drawbar eye (2) of the system trac GIANT will be connected to the (1) of the tractor.
  • Page 15: Detaching From The Tractor

    5.2 Detaching from the tractor Park the implement always on firm and level ground; re-attachment will then be easier. It is recommended to park the GIANT with folded-in wing sections, this saves space and reduces the effort of attaching and detaching the warning boards and the lighting equipment, if it is required to drive on public roads.
  • Page 16: Folding Of The Wing Sections

    6. FOLDING OF THE WING SECTIONS 6.1 Folding-in of the wing sections Before folding-in the Giant Terradisc, the pins (18) und (20) of the depth adjustment (19) must be unlocked, removed and put into the tool box. If the Giant Smaragd is equipped with double rollers, additionally the pins (SS) mut be unlocked, removed, fitted into the bores (BO) and secured.

  • Page 18: Pendulum Balance

    7. PENDULUM BALANCE The lower links (UL) of the three point hydraulics (13) are equipped with a pendulum balance (PA), which allows an individual adaption of the implement sections even in hilly conditions. On the left and right side of the lower links (UL) the lower link ends (UE) are positioned pivotably around the eccentric bolts (E).

  • Page 20: Tyres

    9. TYRES The chassis of the Giant is equipped with the tyres 550/45-22,5 with 12PR or with the twin wheels 405/70-20 TL with 12 PR and the depth wheels for the outer depth guiding of the Terradisc sections are equipped with the tyres 10.80-12 with 8PR.
  • Page 21: Transport On Public Roads

    Therewith the maximum allowed transport height in folded-in position will not be exceeded. Moreover attention must be paid to the Giant 1000 Terratilth that the locking device (21) is mounted like the picture shows; otherwise the maximaum allowed transport width will be exceeded.
  • Page 22: Adjustments - Terradisc Giant

    11. ADJUSTMENTS - TERRADISC GIANT 11.1 Adjustment of the Three-Point Linkage Set the three-point linkage into the floating position during work by setting the tractor valve concerned in the corresponding position. Raise the sections fully before folding-in. This ensures that the transport width will not be exceeded and that the securing pins (14) can be fitted.
  • Page 23: Depth Adjustment Of The Tines

    11.3 Depth Adjustment of the Tines The working depth of the tines will be adjusted by means of the lower pins (20), which are positioned in the adjuster plates (19) of the carriers (25). For this adjustment the implement must be lifted a little, in order to relieve the pin (20). The upper pins (18) must be positioned as low as possible above the carrier (25), in order to prevent the tube bar roller (26) sinking in too deep.
  • Page 24: Share Position

    With the Giant 1000 Terradisc with overload safety device, the share position can be altered by slackening and turning (180°) the eccentric bolt (30) having first slackened shearbolt (29).
  • Page 25: Depth Guiding Of The Terradisc Sections

    11.7 Depth guiding of the Terradisc sections In working position the Terradisc sections are carried by the following roller. To ensure that the tines are guided equally outside and inside, the Giant 1000 Terradisc is equipped with depth guidings as standard.
  • Page 26: Rollers

    11.8 Rollers The Giant Terradisc can be equipped with D400 and D540 tube bar rollers, with double rollers or with packer rollers ZPW 500. For light and sandy soils a roller of 540 mm diameter instead of the standard one of 400 mm diameter is recommended.
  • Page 27: Straw Harrow Str 80

    11.10 Straw harrow STR 80 The straw harrow (H) will be fitted between the following roller and the hollow discs (18) and to the lower carrier (25). By means of the pin (ST) the straw harrow can be adjusted either in working depth as well as in the distance to the hollow discs (27).
  • Page 28: Changing Of The Sections

    12. CHANGING OF THE SECTIONS The system trac GIANT can be equipped with Terradisc sections as well as with Terratilth sections. For changing the sections (11) they will be detached in completely folded-out position lowered lower links (UL). The sections must always be put down side by side, this eases the later re- attaching.
  • Page 29: Horizontal Position Of The Implement Sections

    The drawbars (36) will be secured by means of securing lugs (40) and bolts (41) and the top links (22) will be secured by means of securing pins. The securing lugs (40) will be secured additionally by means of securing pins (42). 12.3 Horizontal position of the implement sections After attaching the sections the lateral...

    13.5 Working Depth Adjustment of the Tines Fit pin (57) in a higher bore = increased working depth Fit pin (57) in a lower bore = reduced working depth Fit the adjuster pin (58) below the frame (59) if the tines (60) can’t keep their working depth.
  • Page 33: Braking Device

    14. BRAKING DEVICE system trac GIANT equipped with a double-hose-air-pressure brakesystem. If required the implement is also available without braking axle. In this case no public roads may be used. Without own braking system the GIANT may only be used in the field, if the combination is able to reach the prescribed braking deceleration.
  • Page 34: Maintenance

    15. MAINTENANCE 15.1 System trac GIANT • Replace hydraulic hoses and brake hoses immediately if they are damaged! At least after 6 six years after production date stated on the hoses. • Re-adjust the brake-rod linkage, if the rod (61) of the membrane ram will move out too much (more than 40 mm).
  • Page 35: Terradisc Sections

  • Page 36: Lighting Equipment And Warning Boards

    16. LIGHTING EQUIPMENT AND WARNING BOARDS Before folding out the wing sections, remove the lighting equipment and warning boards (70) and place them into their carriers (71) which are provided behind the air tank (64). When using public roads fit the lighting equipment and warning boards as required and make electric supply connections.
