COMMISSIONING
8 COMMISSIONING
• Before taking over the machine, test and check, whether damage occurred during transport
and whether all parts contained in the bill of delivery were supplied.
• Before commissioning the machine, carefully read this operating manual, especially Chapters
1–5. Before the first use of the machine, familiarise yourselves with its controls and overall
function.
• During work with the machine, observe not only the instructions of this operating manual but
also generally valid regulations of work safety, health protection, fire and transport safety,
and environmental protection.
• The operator must check the machine before every use (commissioning) from the standpoint
of completeness, work safety, work hygiene, fire safety, transport safety, and environmental
protection. A machine showing signs of damage must not be commissioned.
• Aggregation of the machine with the tractor is to be performed on a flat and hardened
surface.
• When working on slopes, observe the lowest allowable slope grade of the set TRACTOR -
MACHINE.
• Before starting the tractor motor, check whether no person or animal is in the working space
of the set and push the warning sound signal.
• The operator is responsible for the safety and all damage caused by the operation of the
tractor and the connected machine.
• The operator is obliged to adhere to the technical and safety regulations of the machine
determined by the producer when working.
• The operator is obliged to retract the working bodies of the machine from the ground when
turning at the headland.
• The operator is obliged to observe the prescribed working depths and speeds stated in the
manual in. chap.1.
• The operator is obliged to lower the machine to the ground and secure the set against
movement before leaving the tractor cabin.
• Lower the machine with caution so that the chisels and shares are not damaged by sharp
lowering to the ground. Position the machine on a flat ground so that the weight of the
machine is evenly transferred to all shares.

COMMISSIONING
8.1 Agregation to a tractor
• The machine can be connected only to a tractor, whose curb weight is identical or higher than
the overall weight of the connected machine.
• The machine operator must observe all generally valid regulations of work safety, health
protection, fire safety, and environmental protection.
• The operator may connect the machine exclusively to a tractor that is equipped with a rear
three-point suspension and a functional undamaged hydraulic system.
• The table of requirements for the towing means for work with the machine:
Requirement for the tractor engine power for the machine
FANTOM FX 470 NS > 160 kW *
Requirement for
the tractor's TPS
Spacing of the lower suspension
joints (measured at the joint axes)

hydraulic system
Side frame folding circuit
Circuit pressure 200 bar, 2 pcs
of quick-coupler sockets ISO
12,5
* Recommended towing means, the real towing force may significantly vary according to the processing
depth, soil conditions, land slope, working body wear and adjustment
• Connect the machine using the TPS suspension bar to the lower arms of the rear TPS of the tractor,
secure the TPS arms using pins against disconnecting
• The machine aggregated with the tractor changes the distribution of the weight to the individual axles of
the tractor. The weight of the front axle is reduced and therefore the controllability gets worse. It also
affects braking properties
When connecting, no persons may stay in the space between the tractor and the machine.
8.2 Hydraulics
• Connect the hydraulics only when the hydraulic circuits of the machine and the tractor
(aggregate) are in a pressure-less condition.
• The hydraulic system is under high pressure. Regularly check for leaks and immediately
remove obvious damage of all lines, hoses, and pipe unions.
• When seeking and removing leaks, use only the suitable tools.
• For connecting the hydraulic system of the machine to the tractor, use the plug (on the
machine) and the socket (on the tractor) of the quick-couplers of the same type. Perform the
connection of the quick-couplers of the machine to the hydraulic circuits of the tractor so that
the folding of the side frames (BLUE and WHITE DUST CAP) is on one control circuit.
In order to prevent accidental or foreign person (children, passengers) caused movement of the
hydraulics, the control switchboards on the tractor must be secured or blocked in the transport
position.
Parts of the hydraulic system of the machine, which are under pressure, are forbidden to
disassemble. Hydraulic oil that penetrates the skin under high pressure causes severe injuries.
In case of injury, seek a physician immediately.

COMMISSIONING
8.3 Folding and unfolding of the machine
• With all hydraulic movements, lower the speed of the moving parts of the machine
before stopping by throttling the corresponding valve at the control unit!
• The hydraulics for the folding and unfolding must be connected to the double-action
control unit.
• The operator must ensure that during folding and unfolding of the side frames, no
person or animal is within their reach (i.e. at the place of their impact) or vicinity and
that no one puts his fingers into the joint space.
• Perform folding and unfolding on flat and solid surfaces or laterally to the slope with the
fully open control unit.
• Only perform folding or unfolding with a machine that is lifted on the suspender of the
tractor.
• Remove stuck soil from folding points, soil may impair function and cause damage to the
mechanics.
• During folding or unfolding, check the side frames and have them continuously fold into
the end position to the stoppers.
Procedure for lowering the machine:
• Remove the securing stoppers located under the lowering joints.
• Lift the machine on the suspender of the tractor.
• Lower the side frameworks smoothly.
• Block or close the controlling unit.
Procedure for unfolding the machine:
• Lift the machine on the suspender of the tractor.
• Unfold the side frameworks smoothly.
• Secure the side frameworks from lifting during work with securing stoppers.
• Block or close the controlling unit.

8.4 Description of the share/chisel replacement
• If the ploughshare / chisel wear is high, this working tool must be replaced
• Tools required for replacement:
• HAMMER
• DRIVER - 12 mm
• The installation is the same for all types of working parts
The machine is sufficiently
lifted so that the working part
can be removed from the
shoe.
