Preparation work Identical speed settings in both gear-boxes Do not use different speeds in the two gear-boxes. Non-compliance can result in severe damage to the machine. After replacing the gear wheels in the gearbox, pay particular attention to hot machine components and hot oil during operation. Check the oil level in the gearbox in these cases.
Preparation work Working depth The working depth of the power harrow is set by limiting the movement of the packer roller in relation to the power harrow. The position of the side plates and leveling bar must be adapted to the selected working depth of the power harrow.
Preparation work Side plates The side plates limit the working width of the power harrow on both sides. They must be adjusted so that a wall of earth is not created at the sides of the power harrow. The position of the extensions depends on the working depth of the power harrow.
Preparation work Track eradicator in the The track eradicator in the center of the machine loosens the ground that cannot be reached by the tines of the power harrow. The track center eradicator is attached to the transverse beam of the main frame. The working depth of the track eradicator must correspond to the working depth of the tines.
Preparation work Leveling element in the The leveling element in the center of the machine levels the soil between the two packer rollers. center It is adjusted in such a way that the same level is reached after driving over the terrain with the packer rollers. For this process, the lower clamp is set based on the soil type.

Preparation work Settings Measure out the calculated track marker length on the ground, never directly on the track marker arm. That would introduce inaccuracies. On the machine, the track marker is far removed from the coulter. To determine the correct length of the track marker, it is advisable to lay in place, e.g., a batten in the extension of the coulter and thereby determine the measuring point at the height of the track marker.
