Purpose and use
Page 6
3 Purpose and use
Grass collectors are designed to collect grass, leaves or similar cut material when used in con-
junction with a tractor and a rotary mower or leaf suction device (accessory for grass collectors).
It can be used at any weather that permits the collecting of cut material. Depending on the trac-
tor type, the applications range is from cultivated grass to matted grass and wasteland.
The machines for grass collection with bottom discharge and grass collectors with top discharge
are compact units for vacuuming and collecting cut material.
The turbine is driven by the rear power take-off shaft located at the rear of the tractor. Its task is
to collect the cut material from the rotary mower over a suction line and to deliver the material
over a pressure line to the bin.
To discharge the cut material, the bin of the machines can be opened and closed by means of
the tractor's hydraulic system.
To discharge the collected material, the bin of top discharge machines can be lifted by means of
the tractor's hydraulic system. The bin can be opened, emptied, and closed at any height, from
down to up position, using the same hydraulic system.
In all machines, the grass collector can be operated from the driver's seat

Delivery and transport

4 Delivery and transport
The CLS-G/H 650/850 is lashed onto a pallet for delivery (see Fig. 1).
Fig. 1: Delivery of the CLS
4.1 Lifting the CLS off of the pallet
1. Remove the protective packaging and the transport safeguard.
2. Lift the CLS off of the pallet with a suitable device (crane or forklift) and set it down.
4.2 Long-distance transport
If you want to transport the CLS over longer distances (e.g. shipping via freight forwarder), you
must lash the CLS onto a pallet, as it was when it was originally delivered.

5 First installation
Before commissioning the CLS you must execute the following four measures:
If a hitch (basic hitch or quick-attachment hitch) is not yet mounted on your tractor,
proceed as described in section 5.1.
The CLS can also be mounted on a rear three-point linkage as described in section
6.2. Mounting instructions for a rear three-point linkage are specified in the docu-
mentation provided with your tractor or with the rear three-point linkage.
If you have selected the CLS version with chassis, then you must mount the supplied
pivot wheels and the support wheel. To do this proceed as described in the attach-
ment instructions that were provided with the chassis.
Check whether the PTO shaft is the correct length for use on your tractor. If neces-
sary adjust the length of the PTO shaft, as described in section 5.2.
Mount the suction connector and the suction hose as described in section 5.3.
5.1 Mounting the hitch

Note!
CLS-G/H 650/850 series implements are compact implements that can be
attached to a variety of tractors.
See the attachment recommendations in the current price list and note the
restrictions cited in this manual.

Note!
The CLS depends on the universal joint shaft speed of the tractor.
Maintain the work speed prescribed by the tractor manufacturer, as this is
only way to achieve optimal turbine speed.

Note!
Enter the vehicle ID number of the tractor in (page ) of this operating
manual.
5.1.1 Mounting the quick-hitch on John Deere X Series tractors

Danger!
The operator or persons near the tractor/implement can be severely injured.
Switch off the tractor engine and remove the ignition key before mounting
the towing gear.

Attention!
The tractor and the CLS can be damaged.
Only use the supplied material.

Note!
The quick-hitch is not included in the CLS scope of delivery; it must be or-
dered separately.

Note!
In the attachment instructions below the numbers specified refer to the
components as they are shown and marked in
Fig. 2.
