Caution! When draining oil over a more extended period than usual (tractor –
forage wagon – floor conveyor), the pump system of the tractor must be
known (see “Prior to operation – Hydraulic system”).
The buttons on the control box are only used to pre-select the different
functions of the forage wagon. Operating the single-acting control valve
on the tractor will activate the desired function.
Between the different operations, the single-acting control valve of the
tractor must be switched back to the neutral position.
Only then a new function can be pre-selected on the control box.
The floor conveyor is controlled using the double-acting control valve on
the tractor.
On the S-wagon, the floor conveyor speed can be varied using the rotary
knob. This knob has no function on the K and P wagons!

Loading operation
Use this key of the control box to switch on the control unit. The red
indicator light lights up.
Pick-up
lowered/raised
Use this key to pre-select the pick-up mode. The pick-up can now be
raised and lowered using the single-acting control valve. Switch
on the pto for loading.
Attention The pick-up will only remain in floating position if the pick-up mode is pre-
selected on the control box and the single-acting control valve is set to
floating position.
Quantum 3500 K / 3800 K /
3500 P / 3800 P
To switch off the rotor and the pick-up the pto must be disengaged.
Quantum 3500 S Raising the pick-up will automatically disengage the rotor and the pick-up.
Dry crop top
(QUANTUM 2500 K,
3500 K only)
Use this key to pre-select the dry crop top mode. To erect the dry
crop top, pressurize the single-acting control valve. To lower it, set
the system to the float position.

TIC QUANTUM Operation
10/04 3-5
Floor conveyor The floor conveyor is controlled using the double-acting control valve on
the tractor. To set the floor conveyor to forwards or reverse, set the
double-acting control valve to the raise or lower position.
Floor conveyor speed QUANTUM 3500 S:
The floor conveyor speed can be varied using the rotary knob provided
the pick-up or the tailgate has been pre-selected.
QUANTUM 3500 K / P, 2500 K / P, 3800 K / P:
If the tractor is fitted with a flow rate controller, this can be used to vary
the floor conveyor speed.
The knob on the control unit has no function on the K and P
wagons.
Opening the knife frame If a blockage occurs in the conveyor channel (cut-out clutch of the
universal drive shaft is activated), switch off the pto.
Use this key to select the cutting mechanism mode. Set the lever
on the single-acting control valve to the float position in order to
open the knife frame.
