Layout and description Function 5.2.1 Headstock The headstock with top link pin and cross shaft conforms to the ISO 730 standard. Cross shaft L1/Z1 conforms to category 1. Cross shaft L2/Z2 conforms to category 2. The implement is supplied with a category 1 or 2 top link pin. 5.2.2 Cross shaft The cross shaft is category 1 or category 2.
Layout and description 5.2.7 Harrow The harrow levels out slightly uneven areas behind the tines. The harrow can only be used in conjunction with a rear crumbler roller.
Preparation of the Tractor PREPARATION OF THE TRACTOR Tyres The pressure - especially in the rear tractor tyres - must be equal. In heavy condi- tions it may be necessary to add wheel weights and/or water ballast. (See manu- facturer’s instructions). Lift Rods Adjust lift rods to equal length.
Preparation of the Tractor Risk of accidents due to breakage of cross shaft pivot The cross shaft pivots may break if the category of the lower link connection is too low or the power rating of the tractors used is WARNING too high.
Preparation of the Tractor Hydraulic system 6.5.1 Transport Lowering the three-point linkage CAUTION The device may be damaged if the three-point linkage of the trac- tor is lowered due to an incorrect setting or operation. For transport always switch the hydraulic system of the tractor to "position control".
Preparations on implement PREPARATIONS ON IMPLEMENT Final assembly For transportation-specific reasons, the implement is not always delivered in a ful- ly-assembled condition. Use the implement only when the implement has been fully assembled and a functional check has been performed. Changing the cross shaft mounting position You can change the cross shaft (1) mount- ing position as follows:...
Page 39
Preparations on implement Push the adjusting pieces (3) to the mid- dle of the cross shaft. Move the cross shaft (1) to the lower po- sition. Turn the adjusting pieces (3) on the cross shaft (1) upwards through 180°.
Preparations on implement Push the adjusting pieces (3) on the cross shaft (1) outwards into the shaft plates (5). Ensure that the cross shaft extends the same distance beyond the shaft plates on both sides. Tighten the nuts (2) on the adjusting pieces (3) to the appropriate torque, see «Tightening torques, page 69».
Attaching the implement ATTACHING THE IMPLEMENT Risk of injury when coupling the device WARNING There is a risk of body parts being crushed between the tractor and device The tractor must be secured against unintentionally rolling away. Never actuate the hydraulic system of the tractor if there are people between the tractor and device.
Attaching the implement General When attaching the implement, switch the hydraulic system for the tractor’s three-point linkage to position control. Reverse the tractor up to the implement so that it is lined up immediately in front of the implement and the lower links (2) can be coupled with the cross shaft (3).
Attaching the implement Cross shaft The cross shaft (1) can be mounted on the implement at two height positions = draw point settings. The illustration shows the cross shaft (1) in the upper mounting position = lower draw point. The holes (2) are used to fit the cross shaft (1) in the lower mounting position = higher draw point.
Attaching the implement Upper control link Risk of injury from unsecured upper control link pin If the upper control link pin is not secured, it may slip out or get CAUTION lost. As a result, the implement may fall down or be damaged. ...
Driving on public highways DRIVING ON PUBLIC HIGHWAYS General information A proper lighting system, identification and equipment must be on the implement, if it is to be transported on public roads. The country-specific valid laws and regu- lations pertaining to driving on public roads must be observed.
Operation OPERATION Risk of accident when making adjustments When making any adjustments to the device, there are risks of crushing, cutting, clamping and striking your hands, feet and body on heavy and occasionally compressed and/or sharp-edged parts. Always park implement on the ground. DANGER ...
Operation 10.1 Adjusting the working depth of the cultivator 10.1.1 Implements without rear crumbler roller The working depth is adjusted using the tractor hydraulics and the depth adjust- ment system on the depth wheels. Raise the implement using the tractor’s three-point linkage.
Operation 10.1.2 Implements with rear crumbler roller Crushing hazard CAUTION When adjusting the working depth, there is a risk of crush injuries to the fingers and hands if the roller carrier moves. Never hold the roller carrier close to the perforated depth ad- justment plate.
Page 49
Operation er (2). Set the pin adjustment system on the other side of the implement to the same working depth. The lower pin (4) of the pin adjustment system sets the clearance between the rear crumbler roller and the ground when the implement is raised.
Page 50
Operation crumbler roller. The working depth of the front and rear shares must be the same. Align the implement so that it is parallel to the ground in the working position.
Operation 10.1.3 Pressure load on the rollers - entry behaviour The pressure load on the rollers is determined by the top link position and the cross shaft mounting position. The hydraulic system for the tractor three-point linkage must be set to the float position.
Page 52
Operation The lower the top link is attached to the implement headstock, the greater the pressure load on the rollers – better en- try behaviour. The higher the top link is attached to the implement headstock, the lower the pressure load on the rollers –...
Operation 10.2 Adjusting the trailing bar The trailing bar skims off a layer of the crumbled soil and feeds it back to the crumbler roller. Grooves created by the tines as they work are levelled out in conjunction with the crumbler roller.
Operation 10.2.2 Adjusting the pressure load Raise the implement using the tractor’s three-point linkage. Insert the lower spring pin (5) into one of the holes below the lower end of the spring (6): higher hole => increases pressure load ...
