    NOTE! Misprints, errors and omissions excepted. DANGER AREAS WARNING! Travelling danger area The danger area of the implement travels along with the implement during operation. The danger area includes the area across the entire width of the implement in the direction of travel (see Figure 3). An additional safety distance of 2 m from the implement must be maintained on each side.

  • Page 24 CAUTION! Always secure the implement to prevent it from rolling away. DANGER! Prior to uncoupling, you must check again to ensure that the mechanical folding lock is engaged. WARNING! Comply with the sequence for locking the pneumatic brake system ! First uncouple the red brake line, then the yellow brake line.
  • Page 25: Unfolding From Transport Position To Working Position

    UNFOLDING FROM TRANSPORT POSITION TO WORKING POSITION The hydraulic cylinders for depth setting of the roller must be in the maximum possible retracted position. Only unfold the implement under these conditions, otherwise massive collisions or warping can occur between the two roller segments. The amount of oil on the control units of the coupled tractor must be reduced accordingly, so that the entire folding procedure runs slowly (at least 12 seconds) and is gentle on the implement.
  • Page 26: Working Position And Setting The Working Depth

    The control unit on the coupled tractor for adjusting the roller hydraulic cylinders must be appropriately secured during road travel, so that the road transport width cannot be inadvertently misadjusted, i.e. increased. DANGER! Risk of accident due to improper folding of the side sections Improper folding of the side sections results in accidents if people are standing in the swivelling and folding range of the side sections or if there are high-voltage lines in the swivelling and folding range of the side sections.
  • Page 27: Adjusting The Series Of Holes

    NOTE! The working depth must be checked after driving for 10 m and re-adjusted if necessary. For larger work areas, the working depth of the tines must be checked from time to time. 9.5.2 ADJUSTING THE SERIES OF HOLES In addition to depth setting, the aggressiveness of each individual tine row can also be changed individually.

  • Page 29: Folding Lock

    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 21.11).
  • Page 30: Turning On The Headland

    NOTE! 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. 9.10 TURNING ON THE HEADLAND 9.10.1 TURNING WITH ROLLER When turning on the headland, first the lower links are lifted, then the roller is pressed downward so that the implement runs on the rollers.

    9.12 HYDROPNEUMATIC CHASSIS DAMPING A diaphragm accumulator is attached on the chassis cylinder on both sides (tension and compression side), which ensures damping of the implement.

    Reseeding in the spring has the advantage that the spring humidity and the disturbed soil can be used as a seedbed. However, despite the good start, the grass can dry out during a summer drought, and the pressure of the old sod is greater in the spring due to the stronger growth spurt. With the Grassland Pro Harrow, we counteract this disadvantage with a roller that presses down the seed and therefore improves soil contact.
  • Page 48 WARNING! Because the brakes are immediately release when the compressed air reservoir is filled, it is important to comply with the connection sequence: first couple the yellow brake line, then couple the red brake line! Figure 55 NOTE! If one compressed air line on the implement should be defective, the implement can still be moved by manually triggering the pressure accumulator on the trailer brake valve (see Figure 55).

    21.6 CHANGEOVER VALVE FOR OPERATING TWO HYDRAULIC FUNCTIONS The changeover valve enables connection of the hydraulic circuits of the roller frame and the chassis. As a result, one less control unit is required. Switching between the two hydraulic circuits is achieved by actuating the lever on the changeover valve, which is attached to the drawbar (see Figure 69).
