Preparing the tractor
Wheels
- Air pressure in the tractor's rear tyres should be 0.8
bar when working.
- Under heavy working conditions additional wheel
weights can be advantageos. See the tractor
manfuacturer's operating manual also.
Ballast weights
Sufficient ballast weights are to be stacked on the front
of the tractor in order to guarantee steering and braking
capabilities.
At least 20% of the
vehicle’s tare weight
on the front axle.
Lifting gear
- The left and right lifting struts (4) must be the same
length.
Adjust using adjuster (3).
-If lifting struts (4) can be pinned at various positions
on the lower links, then select the back position (H). In
doing this, the tractor’s hydraulics will not be so greatly
overloaded.
-Pin(2)upperlink(1)inaccordancewiththemanufacturer’s
specifications.
Setting-up for transportation
- Secure lower links with struts (5) so that attached
implement cannot swing out during transportation.
- The operating lever for the hydraulics must be secured
against lowering.

Hydraulic control on the lifting gear
Control position:
For mounting and dismounting the implement and for
transportation.
The control position is the normal setting for the lifting
gear hydraulics.
T he mounted
implement remains at
the height (= position)
set by the servo-valve
(ST).
Preparing the cultivator
Mounting axle
Install correct mounting bar on tractor’s lifting gear
which corresponds to the connecting size (Category
II or III). See Spare Parts List also.
Connecting to tractor
- Switch tractor’s hydraulics to control position.
- Attach implement to lower link and secure with linch
pin.
Position upper link (1)
- Position upper link (1) so that the attachment point
(P1) on the implement is somewhat higher than the
attachment point (P2) on the tractor even during
operation.

adjustments DK
Setting for operation
1. The implement must be attached to the tractor in a horizontal
position, it should not hang to one side.
2. The front and rear tine rows must penetrate the ground at the
same depth (working depth).
The frame should sit parallel to the ground surface as seen
longitudinally.
3. Fix the lower link (4) in such a way that the machine cannot swing
out sideways.
Equipment variants and wearing parts
Rigid tines (basic equipment)
Spring-mounted tines (optional extra)
• Can be backfitted on all types
Backfitting kit (2 & 2a)
(see spare parts list)
- Basic setting = 330 mm
Wearing parts
- are screwed to the tines and can therefore be replaced at little
cost.
Overloading
Shearing screws
Tines are secured with shearing
screws.
Theshearingscrew(pos.7)breaks
when overloaded and the tine
swings upward.
- Remove the shearing screw
remains.
- Loosen hexagonal screw (6).
- Swing tine back to working
position.
- Insert new shearing screw and
tighten both screws.
Important!
Only use genuine shearing screws (see spare parts
list) of appropriate dimension and quality. Under no
circumstances use screws with a greater or lesser
strength.

Hollow discs
- serve to level out the ground surface evenly.
Setting the hollow discs
• This setting should suit the relevant operating conditions (type
of ground, speed and straw layer on the ground).
• The hollow discs are always set at the required working
depth.
Only fine adjustment is necessary

Hydraulic unit
Caution! Danger of injury or infection!
Under high pressure, escaping fluids can penetrate
the skin. Therefore seek immediate medical help!
After the first 10 operating hours and then every
consecutive 50 operating hours
- Check the hydraulic unit and lines for tightness and
retighten screw connections if necessary.
Before operation
- Check hydraulic hoses for wear.
Replacewornordamagedhydraulichosesimmediately.
The replacement hoses must meet the manufacturer’s
technical requirements.
Hose lines are subject to natural ageing. The period of
use should not exceed 5 – 6 years.
