3 Introduction
3.1 General description and purpose of the device
The working principle of the column lifter is that a single-acting hydraulic cylinder raises or
lowers your implementwhen the hydraulics are applied from the driver's seat. The maximum
stroke of the hydraulic cylinder is 500 mm (20”). Optionally, the S-2R can also be converted
to double-acting hydraulic operation (see note in chapter 10.5).
The CLEMENS column lifter S-2R consists essentially of the following components:

4 Safety instructions
4.1 General
(1) Check the device and the tractor for traffic and operational safety before each use!
(2) In addition to the instructions in these operating instructions, observe the generally
applicable safety and accident prevention regulations!
(3) The warning and information signs attached to the device provide important
information for safe operation; the attention serves your safety! The instructions must
be kept in a perfect, legible condition!
(4) Familiarize yourself with all equipment and actuators and their function before starting
work. During work it is too late!
Compliance with the safety instructions is mandatory.

S-2R + Frontanbau 11.2018 en 8
(5) Actuators (ropes, chains, linkages, etc.) of remotely operated equipment shall be
installed so as not to induce unintentional movement in all transport and working
positions!
(6) Do not stand in the swivel range of the device!
(7) Secure the device before leaving the tractor! Lower attachments completely! Switch
off the engine and remove the ignition key!
(8) No one shall be allowed to stand between the tractor and the implement without the
vehicle being secured against rolling away by the parking brake and / or by chocks!
(9) Damage must be eliminated immediately before working or continuing to work with the
device!
(10) Never leave the driver's cab while driving! Only get on or off your tractor with the
hydraulics switched off, the engine stopped, the parking brake applied and the ignition
key removed!
(11) Only operate the machine when all safety devices are in place and functioning!
(12) Maintenance, adjustment and repair work must not be carried out while the tractor is
running and only when the hydraulic lines are disconnected. Remove ignition key!
(13) Damaged warning and information signs must be replaced immediately!
(14) The device should only be used if there is sufficient daylight illumination.
(15) If the device has to be lifted for mounting and dismounting as well as for maintenance
and repair work, sufficiently dimensioned and undamaged lifting gear must be used.
(16) Cranes and similar lifting equipment must have sufficient load-bearing capacity and
must not be damaged by any major, load-bearing and safety-related equipment. Lifting
equipment may only be operated by instructed resp. trained personnel.
(17) Stay under suspended loads is prohibited.
(18) The driver must always be in a perfectly sane condition while working. The
consumption of intoxicating agents and medications is therefore forbidden before and
during work.
(19) Wearing safety goggles is indispensable if soil or similar are in danger of being hurled
away by the use of implements.
(20) Never allow the column lifter with attachments to be used by people unfamiliar with the
safety and operating instructions.
(21) The device may only be used for the specified purpose.
4.2 Attached devices
(1) Before attaching or detaching equipment to the three-point hitch, move the control to
the position that precludes unintentional lifting or lowering!
(2) Do not step between tractor and unit when operating the external control of the 3-point
hitch!
(3) When driving on the road with the implement raised, the control lever of the three-point
hydraulic system must be secured against unintentional lowering (see tractor operating
instructions).

S-2R + Frontanbau 11.2018 en 9
4.3 Road and transport journey
(1) When using public roads, observe the relevant regulations.
(2) Riding on the implement is not permitted!
(3) Do not exceed permissible axle loads and total weights!
(4) Observe permissible transport dimensions! For excess width (in Germany 3.0 m) a
special permit is required.
(5) Check and install transport equipment - such as e.g. lighting, warning devices and
possibly protective devices!
(6) For road transport bring device into prescribed condition and lock in accordance with
regulations!
(7) Whendriving with front mounted implements, reduce the driving speed tomax. 25km/h
(15 mph)!
(8) Never leave the driver's cab while driving!
(9) Handling, steering and braking ability are influenced by mounted or attached devices
and ballast weights! Therefore, pay attention to sufficient steering and braking ability!
(10) On uneven terrain and when cornering, take into account the wide reach and / or the
flywheel of the unit! Risk of tipping!
(11) The weight on the front axle must not be less than 20% of the vehicle curb weight.
(12) Attached equipment can restrict the field of view. Observe the respective regulations.
(Germany: § 30 StVZO).
(13) Make sure that all implements are in the raised state when driving on the road.
(14) The horizontal distance between the frontmost part of front mounted implements to the
center of the steering wheel shall not exceed 3.5 m (11’6”)!
(14) If the lighting equipment of the tractor is covered, additional lighting must be installed!
(15) The maximum total height shall not exceed 4 m (13’1”)!
4.4 Maintenance and repair
(1) Before carrying out maintenance and repair work on the lifted unit or assembly, always
make mechanical securing by means of suitable support elements! Switch off the
engine and remove the ignition key!
(2) Check nuts and bolts regularlyfor tightness and retighten if necessary. First check after
approx. 5 operating hours.
(3) Spare parts must meet the technical requirements specified by the device
manufacturer! This is the case with original spare parts!
(4) Use only specified operating materials. Dispose of exchanged materials properly!
4.5 Noise Information
The noise level at the operator's ear depends on the tractor noise and cabin. It is 82 - 84 dB
(A). However, it is recommended to wear ear protection because in some cases sound
pressure levels above 85 dB (A) are possible at the driver's seat. Do not wear ear protection
when driving on the road!

S-2R + Frontanbau 11.2018 en 10
4.6 Hydraulic system, lubricants
(1) When connecting the hydraulic hoses to the tractor hydraulics, make sure that the
hydraulic system is depressurized on both the tractor and the implement side!
(2) Check hydraulic hose lines regularly and replace if damaged or aged! The replacement
hose lines must meet the technical requirements of the device manufacturer!
(3) Liquids escaping under high pressure (hydraulic oil) can penetrate the skin and cause
severe injuries that are not visible from the outside! In case of injury seek hospital
immediately! Infection risk!
(4) Before working on the hydraulic system, lower the devices, depressurize the system
and switch off the engine!
Attention:
The hoses of the hydraulic cylinders must be renewed by a specialist workshop
or the CLEMENS customer service at least every five years.
Attention:
There are crushing and shearing points on power-operated parts (eg
hydraulic)!
Spraying oil can cause injury and environmental pollution!
Attention:
Keep away from sources of ignition, do not smoke.
Do not mist lubricants.
Store soaked cloths in non-combustible, closed containers.
Attention:
Do not extinguish with water.
In case of fire, there is a risk of bursting of closed, heated containers.
Attention:
Remove spilled hydraulic oil immediately with oil binder and placein designated
waste containers; ventilate the room well.
