3 USE OF SPRING LOADED BRAKE RAM In order to make unloading and manoeuvring possible without air pressure supply, the spring loaded brake rams (FS) and therewith the complete braking assembly have been locked out of use by means of a key bolt (KS). Before the first use, the braking assembly must be set under pressure, the nut of the key bolt (KS) loosened, the key bolt turned by 90°...
4 WARNING STICKERS General Instructions The LEMKEN Quarz is equipped with all features to ensure safe operation. Where potential danger areas of the implement can not be fully safeguarded, warning stickers are fitted which draw attention to these. Meaning of the stickers Familiarise with the meaning of the stickers.
5 PREPARATION OF TRACTOR Tyres Ensure that all tyres- especially the rear ones - are at identical pressures. See also tractor manufacturer’s instructions. Lift rods Adjust lift rods to equal length. Check chains or sway blocks It is essential that the check chains or sway blocks are adjusted so that the lower links may not move sideways when in working position.
Required spool valves at the tractor The Quarz KA will be delivered with separate hydraulic hoses for each use as standard. If required the Quarz can be equipped with 6/2 valve, an electrical control valve L8S or an electronic control valve LU8S. The protection caps of the hydraulic hoses are marked in colours and the hydraulic hoses alphanumerically.
6 PREPARATION OF THE QUARZ KA Brake pressure regulator Depending on the existing axle load the brake power must be adjusted by means of the brake pressure regulator (BR) according to the following table. For the adjustment the lever (HE) must be turned. Four different brake pressure adjustments are possible: 1/1, ½, O and The arrow points to the chosen setting.
7 ATTACHING AND DETACHING THE QUARZ KA Attaching the compact combination - For attaching the Quarz KA the hydraulics of the tractor must be set to position control! - Connect the tractor lower link to the drawbar (1) and secure! - Swing stand (4) upwards and secure! - Connect hydraulic hoses! - Connect electric cables.
Detaching the compact combination The compact combination must always − be parked on level and firm ground! Swing down stand (4) and secure! − Set tractor hydraulics to position control − before detaching the implement! Open lock valves (AV) and (SP)! −...
8 FOLDING OF THE WING SECTIONS For transport the QUARZ KA compact combinations must be folded-in hydraulically. For the folding-in device a double acting spool valve is needed. By moving the spool valve into the first pressure position, the wing sections will be folded-in.
9 ADJUSTMENTS General Instructions The semi-mounted compact combination Quarz KA is available with a number of tine sections and roller variants. Tine sections The choice consists out of tines sectins with 2 rows of duck-foot shars, 2 rows of marathon tines, 3 rows of Gamma tines or 2 rows of drag tines. Duck-foot share Marathon tines Drag tines...
Working depth of the tines By moving the adjusting rod (6) inwards, an increased working depth of the tines (4) will be reached. By means of moving the adjusting rod (6) to the outside, a shallower working depth will be reached. The left hand and right hand adjusting rod must be adjusted by the same amount.
9.5.2 Working depth of the track scrapers The working depth of the track scrapers (12) will be adjusted by means of the pin adjustment (13) with pin (14). The track scrapers being equipped with 25 cm wide duck-foot shares G25 (15) may not be set too deep, as otherwise wet subsoil would be moved to the top.
Scrapers for rollers The trapeze rollers as well as the packer rollers are equipped with scrapers (28) or (AB). The scrapers of the trapeze ring rollers must not be adjusted. The scrapers of the packer rollers, the trapeze packer rollers and the trapeze disc rollers must be re-adjusted from time to time.
Pressure load on the rollers a) Trailer without flow control valve During work the trailer is lifted a little, so that the rollers will be loaded with additional pressure. When the pressure load is too high and the rollers block or sink into the soil too much, it is recommended to set the hydraulic system of the trailer to floating position.
10 HYDRAULIC SWITCH DEVICE Depending on the number of available tractor spool valves and the desired use comfort, the compact combination Quarz KA is available with different hydraulic controls: Standard equipment = for each use one tractor spool valve is required. Version with 6/2 valve = one double acting tractor spool valve less than with the standard version is required.

a) Operation with constant oil supply The adjuster screw (S1) must be screwed out until its internal stop, in order to get into the constant oil supply setting. In this position the oil is flowing back freely from the pump via the control valve from P to T into the tank.
11.1 General Instructions The Quarz KA compact combination is available with coupling parts for mounting the Lemken Solitair seed drill. The coupling parts include two supporting plates (SP) fitted to the trailer frame as shown in the sketch. With these parts it is simple to mount the Lemken Solitair to the trailer frame (11).
11.3 Detaching the Solitair seed drill - The Solitair seed drill must always be parked on level and firm ground. - Before detaching, the hopper must be emptied completely and the lock valve of the coulter bar lifting device opened. - Fold-out and secure coulter bar.
12 HYDRAULIC LIFT LINKAGE 12.1 Attaching a seed drill trailed Quarz seedbed combinations are available with an hydraulic lift linkage (30) (category II) for attaching a seed drill (only in connection with the braking device and the tyres 550/60-22.5). The seed drill will be connected to the lower link unit (32) of the lift linkage by means of the mounting pins and secured by means of...
13 TRACK MARKERS The Quarz KA is available with track markers being adjustable to the centre of the tractor track. This happened as follows: After loosening the clamping screw (51) of the clamp piece (58) the length of the track marker arms (52) and the angle of the track marker discs (53) can be adjusted.
Worn shares, levelling bars and tines must be replaced in time, so that the carrying parts will not be damaged or worn. Use genuine-Lemken-spare parts, only. Bearings of the rollers are free of maintenance; there is no need to grease them.
14.2 Lubrication chart * with braking device, only a) Grease every 8 working hours d) Grease every 8 working hours b) Grease every 40 working hours e) Grease every 40 working hours c) Grease every 8 working hours 14.3 Braking assembly Drain valve Operate drain valve (63) regularly, in order to drain the air tank (64).
15 TRAILER 15.1 Tyres The semi-mounted device of the compact combination QUARZ is available with 550/60-22.5 or 12.5/80-18 tyres. When the Quarz is use in combination with a seed drill, the tyres 550/60-22.5 must be use. The PR No. and the profile description are printed on the tyre. Damaged or worn down tyres must be replaced at once.
16 DRIVING ON PUBLIC ROADS 16.1 General Instructions The prescribed lighting equipment and protection devices are standard with the Quarz KA. Attention: The protection devices for the tines and the packer rollers (if fitted) must be fitted before transport! 16.2 Allowed transport speed a) With the tyres 550/60-22.5 and in connection with a two line air braking device the Quarz KA is allowed to be driven up to 40 km/h, also with mounted or attached seed drill.
