  • Page 22 CAUTION! Prior to uncoupling, you must check again to ensure that the mechanical folding lock is engaged. CAUTION! Comply with the sequence for locking the pneumatic brake system ! First uncouple the red brake line, then the yellow brake line. This is precisely the reverse of the sequence described for coupling the implement.
  • Page 23 FOLDING FROM WORKING POSITION INTO TRANSPORT POSITION The hydraulic cylinders for depth setting of the roller 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.
  • Page 24 8.5.2 ADJUSTING THE SERIES OF HOLES In addition to depth setting, 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 bolts for the tine sections are inserted either in a higher / more forward or lower / more rearward hole (see Figure 23).

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.
  • Page 26 NOTE! It must be noted that by removing the roller, uniform depth control can no longer be ensured for the harrow units. For this reason, feeler wheels must always be installed when the rollers are removed. CAUTION! The rollers may only be installed or removed when the feeler wheel mounting kit is used (see Point 18.9).
  • Page 27 CAUTION! For every folding process 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 engaged. TIP! For easier release of the folding lock, briefly apply pressure to the folding cylinder. This fully extends the folding cylinder and the side frame is completely lifted again.

  • Page 29  After the first 10 operating hours and subsequently every 50 operating hours, the hydraulic units, hoses and couplings as well as tube lines must be checked for leaks and the bolted connections must be tightened if necessary.  Before every operation, check the hydraulic hose lines for wear, damage and ageing. Damaged or faulty parts must be immediately replaced.
  • Page 30 10.4 TINE SAFETY As standard, the GP series is equipped with a tine safety that prevent loss of the 12 mm tines by means of a rope. It protects the tines so that they do not get lost on the pasture or on the field. This also prevents damage to other implements, e.g.

  • Page 32 INFORMATION ON NATURE CONSERVATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION Energy-efficient use The tines of the implement should not penetrate into the field deeper than necessary. By doing so, the towing vehicle is not unnecessarily strained and fuel can be saved. Recyclable raw materials during disposal Many parts of the implement are made of steel or spring steel (such as the centre frame, side frames, etc.) and can be removed and recycled by a waste disposal company.
