Page 15: Compact Instructions
COMPACT INSTRUCTIONS The following instructions must be done to use the Thorit 8 effective and op- timal. Lower- and top links The lower links must be arranged so that they nearly intersect in the middle between the front and rear axle of the tractor. -
Page 16: Working Depth Of The Tines
Working depth of the tines The working depth will be adjusted by means of the pins (S1) and (S2) of the pin adjuster (V1). Range of working depth = 5 cm to 30 cm. Reconsolidation effect The reconsolidation effect of the rollers (W0) will be adjusted via the position of the top link. -
Page 17: Preparation Of The Tractor
During work the tractor hydraulics must be set to „floating position“ or „mixed control“. Required power sources and sockets For the electric use of the Thorit 8 the following power sources must be avai- lable with the tractor. Function Voltage... -
Page 18: Axle Load
Axle load The attachment of implements to the front- and rear-three point linkage must not lead to exceeding the allowed total weight, the allowed axle load and the allowed tyre load of the tractor. The tractor front axle must always be loaded with 20 % of the tractor dead weight at minimum. - Page 19 The calculation of the required minimum front ballast and the increasing of the rear axle load requires that all above mentioned measurements and weights are known. If they are unknown and cannot be found out, there will be only one way to avoid overloads: Please weigh your tractor with mounted and lifted implement to find out the actual rear axle loading and front axle unloading and that in compa- rison with the axle loads of the tractor without implement!

Page 20: Three Point Linkage
THREE POINT LINKAGE General Instruction The category of the three point linkage must be the same at the tractor and the implement. If this is not the case, either the tractor three point linkage must be adapted or the drawbar (A0) and if required the top link pin (A1) ex- changed by a category corresponding version. -

ADJUSTMENTS Working depth of the tines After raising the implement some cm the working depth of the tines will be adjusted as follows by means of the pin adjuster (V1): Placing the lower pin (S1) in a de- eper hole =>... -
Page 23: Working Depth Adjustment Of The Hollow Discs
Working depth adjustment of the hollow discs The hollow discs (K3) should be adjusted so deep that they level the ridges and grooves left by the rear tines. When working too de- ep, new ridges and grooves will be built, and when working too shal- low, the grooves and ridges left by the tines will be levelled insuffi- ciently. -
Page 24: Straw Harrow
For transport on public roads, the outer discs must be folded-in. For folding-in each pin (R8) must be unlocked and removed, the outer disc folded-in and secured in fol- ded-in position by means of the pins (R8). Finally the pin (R8) must also be secured. - Page 25 The steeper the harrow tines (P1) are positioned, the better is the crumbling. The less steep the harrow tines (P1) are positioned, the less is the risk of clog- ging. Straw, which will be taken along by the harrow tines, can be taken out by the rollers again.
