Operational safety
The machine must only be put into operation
after receiving instructions by employees of the
authorized dealer or a HORSCH employee. The
machine registration form has to be completed
and returned to HORSCH.
All protective features and safety equipment,
such as detachable protective devices, must be
correctly in place and reliably functioning before
the machine is put into operation.
Check and tighten nuts and screws at regular
intervals.
Check tyre pressure regularly.
In case of malfunctions stop and secure the
machine immediately!
Road trafc safety
The valid road tra󻌗c regulations are to be ob-
served when travelling on public roads, paths
and areas.
Do not exceed the max. permissible widths
and attach light system, warning and protective
devices.
Also observe transport height depending on the
coupled machine!
Do not exceed the permissible axle loads, tyre
carrying capacities and total weights, in order
to ensure su󻌗cient steering and braking capa-
bilities. Handling is a󻉒ected by the implement
connected. It is important to take into account
the large overhang and the centrifugal mass of
the implement, particularly when cornering.
The whole machine is to be cleaned of soil
that has been collected before travel on public
roads

Accident prevention
In addition to the operating instructions, it is
important to observe the accident prevention
regulations speci󻉓ed by agricultural trade as-
sociations!
Hitching up / unhitching
There is risk of injury to persons when hitching
up / unhitching the machine to the drawbar of
the tractor.
Secure the machine against rolling away.
Take special care when reversing the tractor.
Never stand between tractor and machine.
Only park the machine on a 󻉓rm and level
surface. Before unhitching the machine, lower
it to the ground.



11
Hydraulic connections
Do not connect hydraulic lines to the tractor,
before both hydraulic systems (machine and
tractor) are de-pressurised.
The hydraulic system is under high pressure.
Check all lines, hoses and screwed con-
nections regularly for leaks and any visible
external damage!
Only use appropriate aids when checking for
leaks. Repair any damage immediately! Oil
sprays can cause injuries and 󻉓re!
In the case of injury, contact a doctor im-
mediately!
Hydraulic connectors are marked with symbols,
to prevent operating errors.
The control units on the tractor must
be secured or locked when not in use
or when the machine is in transport
position, in order to prevent accidents
caused by unintended hydraulic move-
ments or movements caused by per-
sons other than the operator (children,
passengers).
Changing implements
Secure the machine against unintended roll-
ing!
Secure lifted frame parts, under which you will
be working, with suitable supports!
Caution! Danger of injury caused by protrud-
ing parts (harrow, tines, share)!
Do not use packer tyres or other rotating parts
when climbing onto the machine. These could
start to rotate and you could fall and be seri-
ously injured.

In operation
Check the area around the machine (for chil-
dren!) before setting o󻉒 and starting operation
of the machine. Ensure su󻌗cient visibility.
Do not remove any of the mandatory and
supplied protective devices.
Stay clear of the operating range of hydrauli-
cally operated parts.
Only use ascending aids and steps when
machine is at standstill. Passengers are not
allowed to ride on the machine during opera-
tion!
Service and maintenance
Ensure that regular tests and inspections are
always carried out to schedule, as speci󻉓ed
in the operating instructions.
Prior to performing maintenance and servicing
work, ensure that the machine is positioned
on 󻉓rm, level ground and that it is properly
secured against rolling away.
De-pressurise the hydraulic system and lower
or support the implement.
After cleaning, check all hydraulic lines for
leaks and loose connections.
Check hoses for cha󻉓ng and signs of other
damage. Remedy any faults immediately!
Retighten screwed connections which had
been loosened during servicing and mainte-
nance work.
Do not wash new machines with a
steam-jet or high-pressure cleaner. The
paint takes approx. 3 months to cure
and could thus be damaged if this time
has not yet expired.

Installation
Instruction of the operator and initial installation
of the machine will be carried out by our service
engineers or distributors.
Any anticipating use of the machine is
prohibited!
The machine can only be released for opera-
tion after the instruction session conducted by
our service engineer / distributor and after the
operating instructions have been read.
Higher danger of accident during in-
stallation and maintenance. Before
performing any installation and mainte-
nance work make yourself familiar with
the machine and read the operating
instructions.
Depending on scope of equipment
Take loosely delivered parts off the ma-
chine.
Check all important screw connections!
Lubricate all grease nipples!
Check air pressure in tyres!
Check all hydraulic connections and hoses
for correct fastening and function.
Immediately rectify any occurring damage or
have it corrected!






Transport / installation
Higher danger of accident during initial instal-
lation. Please pay attention to the notes in the
corresponding chapters.
Delivery
The machine with implements is normally deliv-
ered completely assembled on a low loader.
If parts or modules had to be disassembled for
transportation purposes, these will be assem-
bled by our distributor or 󻉓eld engineer in situ.
Depending on the design of the low loader the
machine can be unloaded with a tractor, or
needs to lifted o󻉒 with suitable lifting gear (forklift
truck or crane).
Su󻌗cient load bearing capacity of lifting gear
and lifting tackle must therefore be assured.
Lifting and lashing points are identi󻉓ed by la-
bels.
When using other lifting points pay careful at-
tention to the centre of gravity and the weight
distribution. These points must, in any case, only
be on the frame of the machine.

13
Transport
Depending on country speci󻉓c regulations and
working width the equipment can be transported
on public roads, either attached to a tractor or
on a trailer or low loader.
The permissible dimensions and weights for
transport must be complied with.
The tractor must be big enough, so that
su󻌗cient steering and braking abilities are
assured.
If the machine is hitched up in two-point mode,
the tractor link arms must be blocked against
swinging sideways.
For road transport the piston rods must be
󻉓lled up with spacers and the machine must
be lowered on these spacers.
On a trailer or low loader the machine must
be secured with tensioning straps or other
means.
Attach lifting tackle only at the specially
marked points.

Design and working principle
Description
Terrano FG
The HORSCH Terrano FG has been designed
for shallow soil cultivation down to a depth of
20 cm.
Due to the various point options the tines are
equally well suited for shallow cultivation of
stubbles, to mix in harvest residues and for deep
loosening work.
The four beam arrangement and regular dis-
tribution of tines ensures blockage free 󻉔ow of
soil and thus ensures uniform cultivation of the
entire working area.
A trip-release system with a 400 kg tripping
force prevents damage to points and tines and
reduces the wear on components.
