Coupling
Risk of injury when coupling
There is an increased risk of injury when coupling the machine to the
tractor. Therefore
•Secure the tractor to prevent it from rolling
•Do not stand between tractor and machine when coupling
•Lift and lower the machine slowly
Ad usting and maintain-
ing
Avoid skin contact with oils and lubricants
When handling oils or lubricants, avoid contact by using oil resistant
gloves. Oils and lubricants can do damage to the skin.
Maintain regularly
Maintain the machine regularly and as prescribed in »Maintenance
and care«. Also replace worn parts as prescribed. Machines that are
not well maintained can malfunction. This may result in damage or in-
jury.
Do not weld
Do never weld on any part of the machine. The machine is made of
hardened steel, and any welding will severely decrease the machine’s
strength. Welding may lead to breakage on the machine.

Gettin g to know the machine
This chapter provides information about the machine. You can learn
about the proper use and the features of the machine as well as tech-
nical information.
Proper use
This machine is meant for soil cultivating operation. Any other use of
the machine, e.g. as for lifting or pulling operations, is improper use.
The manufacterer and dealer are not liable for damage caused by im-
proper use.
Features
Low wearing soil engaging parts
All soil engaging parts have undergone a process of heat treatment.
This makes them extremely wear resistant, yet flexible to withstand
shocks.
Easy adjustment of tine distance and working width
The bolted construction allows easy changes of working width and tine
distance.
Strong and flexible due to bolted clamps
The patented bolted clamps on the main frame make the CLG-II ex-
tremely strong and long lasting.
Auto-Reset tines for obstacle protection
The leaf spring obstacle protection is simple, but strong and reliable.
When hitting an object in the ground, the springs allow the tine to trip
over the obstruction, and return in their original position automatically.
For different soil conditions several spring configurations are avail-
able.
Fits most tractor hitch standards.
The CLG-II fits most tractor hitch standard, including European and
American quick coupling standards.

Makin g adjustments to the mach ine
This chapter explains how to adjust the machine.
Tightening torque bolted clamps
It is very important to tighten the bolted clamps with 589 - 638 Nm (60
- 65 kpm) torque. Loosening of the bolts may otherwise lead to ex-
treme tension and breakage of the frame.
Tine distance
You can adjust the tine distance as desired. Refer to the CLG-II as-
sembly manual for instructions.
Wheel position
When the machine sinks at the rear during cultivating, position the
wheels backward.
To adjust
> Loosen the nut
> Adjust the position
> Retighten the nut with 589 - 638 Nm (60 - 65 kpm) torque
Auto-reset spring
configuration
•The Auto-Reset springs are well configured when the tines do not
release during cultivating, unless an object is hit.
•When soil type or conditions change, you may find the Auto-reset
spring configuration incorrect. You can change the configuration
accordingly.
To change the spring configuration
> Screw out the screw until the spring tension is fully released
> Change the Auto-reset spring configuration
> Add some grease to the screw for smooth screwing
> Screw in the screw until the spring length from pin to pin is 69 cm.

Coupling
Safety
Risk of injury when coupling
There is an increased risk of injury when coupling the machine to the
tractor. Therefore
•Secure the tractor to prevent it from rolling
•Do not stand between tractor and machine when coupling
•Lift and lower the machine slowly
Coupling
To couple the machine to the tractor
> Connect the lower links of the tractor to the hitch couplings
> Connect the toplink of the tractor to the headstock of the machine
> Stabilise the tractor’s lift rods
> Raise the parking stand
> Check the linkage geometry (see below)
Linkage geometry
The linkages of the tractor should preferably form a trapezoid. This is
influenced by the placement of the hitch couplings.
Machines with adaptable hitch couplings
To adjust the placement of the hitch couplings
> Loosen screws
> Adjust the hitch couplings to the desired position
> Tighten screws. Tighten with 60 - 65 kpm (589 - 638 Nm)
Machines without adaptable hitch couplings
Position changes of rod type 1 are limited, depending on the place-
ment of the tines. Use adaptable hitch couplings instead.

Driving on the road
Safety
Stabilise lift rods
During transport, stabilise the lift rods of the tractor. This will prevent
from unintended sideways movement of the machine.
Adapt speed; max 25 km/h
Under all circumstances, adapt your driving speed to the road and
field conditions, but do never drive in excess of 25 km/h. Excessively
high speeds causes excessive stresses on both tractor and machine,
and may cause breakage.
Prior to transport
Prior to transport
> Remove soil and dirt from the machine
> Stabilise the tractor‘s lower links
Transport position
Transport the machine coupled to the tractor and fully lifted. Do not
use the wheels as a transport wheel.
Cultivating
Safety
Check the vicinity
Always check the immediate vicinity before starting to move or oper-
ate the machine. No persons are allowed to stand close to the ma-
chine when it is being operated. Unexpected movements may other-
wise lead to injury.
