6SAFETY INFORMATION
This chapter contains general rules of conduct for the intended use of the implement and safety-
related information that should always be observed for your safety.
The list is very extensive, and some of the information does not apply exclusively to the delivered
implement. However, the summary of the information often reminds you of unconsciously neglected safety
regulations for the everyday operation of machines and implements.
6.1 INTENDED USE
The implement is designed solely for normal use in agricultural operations.
Any other use is considered to be non-intended. The manufacturer is not liable for any resulting damage,
the operator alone bears the associated risk.
Intended use also includes compliance with the conditions for operation, maintenance, and repairs
prescribed by the manufacturer.
The implement may only be used, maintained and repaired by persons who have relevant experience and
were instructed on the risks. The safety instructions must also be handed over to other users.
The applicable, country-specific accident prevention regulations as well as the other generally safety-
related, occupational health and road traffic regulations must also be observed.
The manufacturer is not liable for any damage resulting from unauthorised modifications and the use of
components and auxiliary parts. This causes the declaration of conformity to lose its validity.

8
6.2 GENERAL SAFETY-RELATED INSTRUCTIONS AND ACCIDENT
PREVENTION REGULATIONS
The warning and information signs applied to the implement provide important instructions for safe
operation. These may not be removed in any case, observe them for the sake of your own safety!
There are pinch and shear points on externally powered (e.g. hydraulic) parts!
People must not becarried on the implementduring intended useon agricultural land andwhen driving
on roads.
Triggers for fast couplers must be hanging loosely and must not trigger themselves when lowered.
Observe the generally applicable safety and accident prevention regulations for the respective
country!
Transport of the implement on public roads requires compliance with the respective national licensing
regulations and road traffic regulations.
When implement parts are moving (e.g. during the folding or pre-tensioning procedure) it must be
ensured that there is no one standing in the danger zone of the implement –there is a risk of crushing.
When using the platform kit, it must be ensured that the implement is at a standstill, is unfolded, and
lowered onto the ground.
When mounting on the towing vehicle, the operator must ensure that the requirements for the tractor
in terms of the power, total weight, transport dimensions, axle loads and weight distribution as
specified in the operating manual are met and that the connections specified in the operating made
are correctly established.
When driving through low or narrow obstacles (e.g. power lines, underpasses, etc.), attention must be
paid to the height and width of the implement to avoid collisions.
When driving on public roads, which is only permitted with the chassis extended (both wheels) and
with the side wings folded as well as the roller retracted (hydraulic cylinder for roller adjustment is
completely retracted), the control block on the chassis cylinder prevents lowering of the Grassland
Pro Harrow as well as of the folded up components (additionally secured with catch hooks), also in
case of failure of the tractor hydraulic system.
When driving in curves, take account of the wide radius and/or the centrifugal mass of the implement!
Pay attention to the minimum turning curve!
Additional lighting (e.g., flashlight) should be used for repair or maintenance work if necessary.
For implements that are driven rapidly with soil-driven tools: Danger after lifting due to the still rotating
centrifugal mass! Only approach the implement when it has come to a standstill!
In case of loss or breakage of implement parts, they must be immediately replaced with original parts
by trained specialist personnel.

6.3 MOUNTED IMPLEMENTS
Only APV implements and accessories may be mounted on the implement.
Do not stand between the tractor andthe implement when actuating the external controls for thethree-
point mounting!
When driving on roads, which is only permitted with the implement lifted and with folded side frames,
a load-holding valve on the chassis cylinder prevents lowering of the implement and lowering of the
folded side frames by means of a mechanical folding lock. Moreover, the roller frame (with hydraulic
cylinder) and the tines (mechanically) must be completely lowered.
The mechanical folding lock prevents unintentional lowering of the side frame during road transport in
the event of failure of the tractor hydraulic system.
When driving on roads with the implement lifted, the operating lever must be locked against lowering!
For three-point mounting, the mounting categories of the tractor and the implement must match or be
adapted!
Mounting of any sort of accessories onto the implement must be performed according to standards.
The maximum permitted mounted weight / total weight of the implement must not be exceeded.
There is a risk of injury due to crushing and shearing points in the area of the three-point linkage!
When the implement is in transport position, always ensure that the tractor three-point linkage is
sufficiently locked to the sides! If necessary, brace the lower link to prevent oscillation of the
implement.
Before mounting and dismounting implements on the three-point linkage, the operating devices must
be moved into the correct position that excludes unintentional lifting or lowering!
6.4 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Due to the risk of injury, use suitable tools when searching for leaks!
For hydraulic function connections between the tractor and implement, coupling sleeves and coupling
connectors should be marked to exclude the possibility of operating errors! If the connections are
interchanged, the function will be inverted (e.g. lifting/lowering)! –Danger of accident!
When connecting hydraulic cylinders and motors, the specified connection of the hydraulic hoses must
be observed.
When connecting the hydraulic hoses to the tractor hydraulic system, make sure that the hydraulic
system on the tractor and implement side is unpressurised!
The hydraulic system is under high pressure during operation! Only disconnect hydraulic hoses once
the hydraulic system on the towing vehicle and the implement is depressurised.
Inspect the hydraulic hose lines at regular intervals and replace in case of damage or wear! The
replacement lines must comply with the technical requirements of the implement manufacturer!
Liquids that escape under high pressure (hydraulic oil) can penetrate the skin and cause severe or
fatal injuries! Consult a doctor immediately in case of injury! (Danger of infection, blood poisoning!)
Before working on the hydraulic system, lower the implement onto the ground, depressurise the
system, and switch off the engine!
6.5 MAINTENANCE
When performing electrical welding work on the tractor and mounted implement, disconnect the cable
on the generator and the battery!

Thanks to its robust and compact design, the Grassland Pro harrow is ideal for new seeding, reseeding,
and controlling weeds on grassland.
The spring-mounted levelling plate ensures optimal distribution and levelling of molehills, manure, slurry,
and cow pats.
Due to the narrow line spacing of the individual tines, the sward is optimally prepared and the reseeding
can germinate rapidly.
With the high contact pressure of the utilised roller, soil closure over the seed is improved and the nutrient
supply to the reseeded plants is optimised.
To obtain the best possible rolling results, a forward speed of 8 km/h should not be exceeded. A speed of
6-12 km/h is ideal for grassland.

8.2 MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING THE IMPLEMENT
8.2.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
The tractor tyre pressure must be selected as specified by the tractor manufacturer.
Under difficult operating conditions, additional wheel weights can be useful. Comply with the
information provided by the tractor manufacturer.
The tractor should be equipped with sufficient ballast weight at the front to ensure the steering and
braking capacity. At least 20% of the empty vehicle weight is required on the front axle.
The lifting struts must be adjusted to the same height and locked on the left and on the right.
The implement must be mounted on the standard lower link.
Comply with the stickers on the implement and the information provided by the tractor manufacturer.
Special care must be taken when driving the tractor in reverse. It is forbidden to stand between the
tractor and the implement.
8.2.2 PARKING BRAKE
The parking brake is used to secure the implement against
rolling away. It must be applied especially during the uncoupling
procedure.
To apply the parking brake, the crank (see Figure 14) is turned
clockwise –to release it, it is turned counterclockwise.
Figure 14: Symbolic image
8.2.3 COUPLING
The tractor lower links must be locked to prevent lateral oscillation so that
they do not start swaying while driving.
Connect the implement on the lower links of the tractor, which are
standardised in accordance with CAT 3N. This means that the balls have
a lateral distance of 825 mm. The width of the ball is 45 mm.
Connect the pneumatic brake system (if present).
If the implement has a pneumatic brake system, the preloaded tractor
must be equipped with a pneumatic brake system and it must be coupled
for operation. If not, undefined states of the pneumatic brake system can
occur that can severely damage the chassis axle.
Figure 15
CAUTION!
Comply with the sequence for connecting the pneumatic brake system! First couple the yellow
brake line, then the red.
Remove the wheel chocks and hook them into the holder provided for this purpose.
Release the parking brake.
Connect the hydraulic hoses to 3 double-acting control units.
CAUTION!
Only connect the hydraulic hoses once the hydraulic system on the towing vehicle and the
implement is depressurised.
