Safety measures and precautions Hydraulic accumulator contains gas and oil under pressure. For removal and repair instructions in technical manual must be followed. Before uncoupling or parking the imple- ment, secure it with wheel chocks. Keep a sufficient distance away from elec- tric high-voltage lines.
Safety measures and precautions Special safety instructions Risk of injury due to non-observance of the currently valid occupational safety guidelines If the currently valid occupational safety guidelines are bypassed WARNING or safety equipment is rendered unusable when handling the de- vice, there is a risk of injury.
Page 21
Safety measures and precautions Risk of injury when freeing casualties When rescuing people trapped or injured by the device, there is a risk of additional serious injury to the casualty if the hydraulic con- nections were not connected according to their colour coding as described in the section entitled "Required hydraulic equipment".
Safety measures and precautions Hazardous areas Moving hazardous area WARNING The implement's hazardous area moves as the implement is op- erated! During implement operation, there must be nobody in front of the actual hazardous area, as the hazardous area moves with the im- plement.
Safety measures and precautions Residual risks Residual risks are particular hazards which occur when handling the device and which cannot be eliminated despite a design in accordance with safety require- ments. Residual risks are not usually obvious and may be the source of a potential injury or health hazard.
Safety measures and precautions Applicable rules and regulations The applicable rules which must be observed during operation of the device are listed below: Observe the currently valid national highway code! Observe the currently valid national laws and regulations for occupational safe- ...

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 Hydraulic equipment required The implement is supplied as standard with separate hydraulic connections for each consumer. The protecting caps on the hydraulic connections are coloured and the hydraulic connections themselves are marked alphanumerically. In order to activate the individual hydraulic devices listed below, the tractor must be equipped with the following spool valves: Tractor/implement Single acting spool...
Preparation of the Tractor Brake system Danger through incompatibility of braking systems The braking system of the tractor and implement must be compat- ible and fully functional. If there is no conformity or if a malfunction exists, sufficient braking deceleration will not be possible. This DANGER means that the tractor and implement may be damaged.
Preparation of the Tractor 6.6.3 Without brake system For implements without brake systems, running axles or brake axles without actua- tion devices are used.

Operation 11.2 Working depth of tines 11.2.1 Mechanical working depth adjustment The working depth of the implement can be adjusted in the range from approx. 5 to 25 cm. The adjustment devices (1) with adjust- ment stops (2) and spacer plates (6) can be used for fine adjustment.
Operation 11.2.2 Hydraulic working depth adjustment The working depth is set via the hydraulic ram (1) using a tractor spool valve. Work- ing depths of approx. 5 cm to 25 cm can be set. The working depth set can be seen on the scale (2).
Operation 11.2.3 Calibrating the working depth The working depth must be recalibrated if roller depth control has altered, e.g. as a result of oil leakage from the hydraulic rams. Fully raise the front and rear of the im- plement. It is best to do this on the head- land.
Operation 11.3 Support wheels The support wheels (1) are attached to the outside of the frame (2) at the front and improve the depth guide of the device. The support wheels must not be loaded with too much weight, otherwise the feed behaviour of the mounted devices will be nega- tively affected.
Operation 11.4 Working depth of hollow discs Loss of components DANGER If the guide pins are not secured, they can fall out due to vibra- tions in operation. This can result in components being lost during operation and transportation and can cause accidents or damage to the implement and the tractor.
Operation 11.5 Working depth of the edge discs Loss of components DANGER If the guide pins are not secured, they can fall out due to vibra- tions in operation. This can result in components being lost during operation and transportation and can cause accidents or damage to the device and the tractor.
Operation 11.6 Share position WARNING Risk of injury due to removed shear bolt If the shear bolt is removed, the tine can pivot freely. This can lead to crushing of the fingers around the tine carrier. Replace a removed shear bolt immediately. The share position or the contact angle of the tines (1) can be altered.
Page 76
Operation A "steep" share position ensures that the tines (1) achieve good penetration even in hard and dry soils. The share position is altered by inserting the shear bolt (2) in a different position. Flat share position Insert the shear bolt through the hole (4) of the tine carrier (3) and the hole (5) of the tine (1).
Page 77
Operation The adjustment has to be made for all the tines. Raise the attachment by a few centime- tres. Loosen and remove nut from the shear bolt (2). Press out the shear bolt using a suitable tool. ...

Operation 11.9 Rollers 11.9.1 General The implement can be fitted with different types of roller. The working depth of the implement is controlled by the rollers. The degree of reconsolidation or crumbling is determined by the type of roller used. Roller type Karat 9 K(U)TA RSW 540...
Operation 11.9.2 Blade rollers CAUTION Loss of components If the guide pins are not secured, they can fall out due to vibra- tions during operation. The guide pins must always be secured by split rings. Working depth of blades The working depth of the blades (6) is ad- justed using the guide pins (3) as follows: ...
Operation Movement of blades The upward movement of the blades (6) is limited using the guide pins (5). If neces- sary, slight movement upwards can be permitted. Position of blades The blades are generally screwed onto the blade frame (7) in the front position. In case of wear, the blades (6) can be moved backwards.
Operation 11.10 Turning on the headland DANGER Risk of damage to components If an implement is not raised all the way, there is a risk of damage to components if the tractor is not turned correctly at the headland. Before turning at the headland, the implement must be raised all the way before cornering in order to prevent damage to the implement.
