Page 20: Transport, Centre Of Gravity
- When the Smaragd 9/600 KA-B is equipped with track markers, clamping stops (Y) must be fitted on the pisten rod. After that the Smaragd 9 KA-B will be low- ered until the clamping stops prevent a further lowering. -
Page 21: Folding-In And -Out The Lateral Sections
7 FOLDING-IN AND –OUT THE LATERAL SECTIONS Folding-in the lateral sections ATTENTION: Never fold-in or-out the Smaragd 9 KA-B, when the hollow discs are swung to the front! For transport the lateral sections (40) − must be folded-in. They may only be fol- ded-in or-out, when the implement is mounted to the tractor. -
Page 22: Foldind-Out The Lateral Sections
The Smaragd 9 KA-B may only be equipped with an hydraulic folding-out locking device, when the tractor is equipped with lockable spool valves. If the tractor has no lockable spool valves, a mechanical folding-out locking device releaseable by a rope must be used. -
Page 23: Adjustments
8 ADJUSTMENTS Height adjustment of the drawbar The drawbar (1) can be swung into two different height positions. The lower position should be chosen when a better penetration of the cultivator is required or the cultivator is fitted to a crawler. -
Page 24: Share Position
Share position The share position of SMARAGD and SMARAGD Ü can be altered. A flat share position ensures an even seedbed depth (point (5) and wings (6) work nearly at the same depth) and reduces the traction requirement; a steep share position en- sures a good penetration, even in hard and dry soils. -
Page 25: Depth Adjustment Of The Tines
Depth adjustment of the tines The tines should be set at a working depth of 8 - 10 cm; with greater soil unevenness or deep wheel marks a deeper cultivation depth may be requi- red. After raising the implement some cm the working depth of the tines will be adjusted as follows by means of the pin adjuster (10):... -
Page 26: Working Depth Adjustment Of The Hollow Discs
Working depth adjustment of the hollow discs discs should approximate half the working depth of the tines. The discs (18) are for mixing and for levelling the ridges and grooves left by the rear tines. When working too deep, new ridges and grooves will be built, and when working too shallow, the grooves and ridges left by the tines will be levelled... -
Page 27: Rollers
Rollers The Smaragd can be equipped with D400 and D540 tube bar rollers as well as with double rollers. The re-consolidation effect of the roller (14) can be influenced by setting the top link steeper or more horizontal; in doing so the tractor hydrau- lics must be set to "Floating position"... -
Page 28: Packer Roller Scrapers
Packer roller scrapers The scrapers (Z1) must be adjusted regularly. They should be positioned to the surface of the roller by the adjuster nuts (Z2) of the scraper carrier (Z3) as shown in the sketch above. If soils sticks to the roller the scrapers must be adjusted. Dried soil on the roller creates high wear and also damages the scrapers (Z1). -
Page 29: Pressure Load On The Following Roller
Depth wheels disc cultivators Smaragd SMARAGD 9 KA-B are equipped with depth wheels as standard. The depth wheels prevent the outer tines working too deeply. They should not be loaded with too much weight of the disc cultivator. -
Page 30: Outer Discs
8.10 Outer discs The outer discs (25) will be bolted to the ends of the hollow disc carriers. They should not work so deep as the inner discs; their purpose is only to move the soil which has been thrown beyond the working width, into the grooves left by the outer tines. -
Page 31: Shearbolts
9 SHEARBOLTS Each tine (19) and disc carrier is fitted with a shearbolt (7) which will save cultiva- tor, tines and discs against overload. Replace sheared bolt as follows: a) Raise cultivator a few cm. b) Remove all remains of the shearbolt (7). c) Swing tine and/or disc carrier back into position. -
Page 32: Smaragd 9 Ü With Automatic Overload Safety Device
10 SMARAGD 9 Ü WITH AUTOMATIC OVERLOAD SAFETY DEVICE The SMARAGD 9 KÜA-B cultivator is especially designed for stony soils, and the tines (19) are equipped with an automatic overload safety device with springs (35), protecting the implement from damage when an obstacle is encountered. -
Page 33: Straw Harrow Str 80
11 STRAW HARROW STR 80 The straw harrow (H) will be fitted between the following roller and the hollow discs (18) and to the lower carrier (T). By means of the pin (ST) the straw harrow can be adjusted either in working depth as well as in the distance to the hollow discs (18). -
