Safety measures and precautions Always attach the implement correctly and only attach it to the equipment provi- ded for that purpose. Always take great care when attaching the implement to and detaching it from the tractor. There is a risk of injury due to crush and shear points in the area around the three-point linkage.
Safety measures and precautions 3.11.2 Personnel selection and qualifications The tractor driver must have the appropriate driving licence. All work on the implement must be carried out by properly trained and instructed personnel. The personnel must not be under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.

Cross shaft L3/Z4 conforms to category 4N. 5.2.2 Combination axle The combination axle is needed if a LEMKEN Solitair seed drill is mounted on the implement using coupling parts or a different implement is mounted behind the implement using a three-point linkage. Both the coupling parts and the hydraulic three-point linkage are available as accessories and can be installed on the com- bination axle.
Layout and description 5.2.6 Rollers The rollers ensure reconsolidation and additional crumbling of the soil. During op- eration on the field they bear the weight of the implement if the implement has been lowered for work and they ensure exact depth guiding. The weight of the rollers can also support the feed behaviour of the implement.
Layout and description 5.2.13 Coupling elements The coupling elements serve to mount the Solitair pneumatic seed drill to the im- plement with an optimum centre of gravity. This ensures that the soil can be culti- vated and the seeds can be sown in the same sequence of operation. 5.2.14 Hydraulic drawbar The hydraulic drawbar is optionally available for tractors with tractor drawbar or hitch ball.

Operation 11.6 Lateral limiters Danger from unsecured parts CAUTION If the lateral limiters are not secured during adjustment, they may slip downwards in an uncontrolled manner. This may cause crush injuries to the hands or foot injuries. Secure the lateral limiters. The lateral limiters (1) prevent the rear right hollow disc and the front left hollow disc from leaving furrows or throwing up...
Page 99
Operation Swivelling the lateral limiter outwards: Release the locking pin (1). Pull the locking pin out of the hole (2). Select the hole for the swivel position (3) by swivelling the carrier with the lateral limiter outwards. ...
Operation Changing the height and angle of the lateral limiter: Loosen the clamping screws in the clamping fixture (1). Turn the round stalk (2) in the clamping fixture until it is at the required angle. Set the height of the round stalk (2) in the clamping fixture.
Page 101
Operation Activate straw harrow: Open shut-off valve (1) in the drawbar. Operation on the headland Several metres before reaching the headland, briefly actuate the function for lifting the implement. o The straw harrow is swivelled o The concave discs continue working the straw in.
Page 102
Operation Deactivate straw harrow. Loosen pined connections (4, 5, 6) between harrow holder (2) and frame (3). Remove pined connection (6). Move harrow holder (2) into the required position (a). o CAUTION: Straw harrow and harrow holder are heavy. Per- form work with 2 persons.
Operation 11.8 Wheelmark eradicator Wheelmark eradicators (1) can be mounted on the carrier (2). The wheelmark eradicators can be relocated at the side and their depth adjusted. 11.8.1 Relocation at the side Adjust the wheelmark eradicator (1) to the bout of the tractor as follows: ...
Operation 11.8.2 Adjusting the working depth The wheelmark eradicators are set to ap- prox. 5 cm deeper than the bout of the tractor. Adjust the working depth of the wheelmark eradicator as follows: Raise the implement to relieve the load- ing on the wheelmark eradicator (1).
Operation 11.10 Lowering the chassis 11.10.1 General Under certain conditions the implement may start to vibrate during operation if the soil is too light or too loose. A pressure limiting valve can be used to counteract this. The setting on the pressure limiting valve reduces implement bounce during operation.
Page 106
Operation The chassis will leave tracks on the field, but they are not significant due its low weight. Turn the adjusting knurl (4) clockwise => larger reduction in pressure on the chassis and larger increase in pres- sure load on the rollers. ...
Operation 11.10.3 Soil working implement with solo axle The pressure load on the rollers, and therefore the reduction in pressure on the chassis, is set by means of an adjusting knurl (4) on the optional pressure limiting valve (1). The entire weight of the chassis can be transferred to the rollers.
Operation 11.11 Track markers CAUTION Risk of impact from unfolding track markers There is a risk of impact when the track markers are unfolded hyd- raulically. This may cause injury. Ensure that nobody is standing in the danger area. 11.11.1 Setting the operating depth Track markers are available to enable you...

Operation 11.15 Pressure load on the rollers 11.15.1 General The chassis is raised while the implement is operating. If the pressure load is too high, causing the rollers to clog or sink into the soil excessively, it is advisable to lower the chassis.
Operation The chassis pressure reduction setting at any given time can be read off the marking grooves on the adjusting knurl (4) on the pressure limiting valve (3). The pressure accumulator (5) ensures that the implement can adapt to the ground in- dependently of the chassis.
Operation 11.17 Setting the brake force regulator The brake force regulator has seven ad- justment positions. The positions not approved for this imple- ment are mechanically locked and must not be used. Adjust braking force with the lever on the brake force regulator.
