2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • Read and adhere to these "General Health- and Safety precautions" before putting your implement into operation! • Before use, always check both the machine and the tractor for roadworthiness and operational safety. • Adhere to the general rules of health- and safety precautions as well as the advice in this instruction manual! •...

• The release ropes for quick coupler should hang freely and in the lowered position must not release the quick coupling by themselves. • Never leave drivers seat whilst in motion! • Moving behaviour, steerability and braking are influenced by mounted implements, trailers and ballast weights.

• Regularly check the hydraulic pipes and replace them in the event of damage or signs of ageing. The replacement pipes must comply with the technical specification as laid down by Lemken. • Hydraulic oil escaping at high pressure can penetrate the skin and cause serious injury! •...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
6.2 Folding-out of the wing sections Before folding-out the lighting equipment with warning boards must be removed and put into the special holder in the front. Fold-out the wing sections, only, with − the GIANT fitted to the tractor as prescribed detached lighting...
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).
(62) so that the rod (61) opens 25 to 40 mm, only. 8.2 Parking brake With all system tracs Giant 1000 Terradisc with depth guiding device with depth wheels (SR) and draw links (L) and with all Giant 1000 Terratilth system tracs from the serial No.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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).
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.
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. ADJUSTMENTS - TERRATILTH GIANT 13.1 Pressure Load on the front Crumbling Rollers The pressure load on the front crumbling rollers (50) will be adjusted by lengthening or shortening the top link (22) Longer top links - less pressure load Shorter top links - more pressure load 13.2 Pressure Load on the rear Rollers...
13.4 Adjustments of the Cutting Bar 13.4.1 Adjustments by means of an adjuster screw Turn adjuster screw (56) clockwise = Cutting bars (55) move more soil back into crumbling roller better crumbling effect and levelling Turn adjuster screw anti-clockwise = Cutting bars move less soil back into the crumbling rollers = less power is required.
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.
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.
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).
15.2 Terradisc sections • The bearings of the hollow discs must be greased every 20 hours of use. • Grease the grease nipples of the NON- STOP devices of the tines every day of use. • Grease all other grease points regularly. •...
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.
