4.5 Operating principle
The RESPIRO R6 rd / R7 rd consists of one folding frame and 2 working units.
The forage is picked up from the ground by the pick-up ①. The swath roller ② presses the forage
against the pick-up and guides the flow of material to the rotor ③. The driven rotor conveys the
forage evenly on to the conveyor belt ④. The conveyor belt allows the crop to be placed either to
the left, right or both sides of the machine in a side swath.

4.6 Equipment and road safety regulations
Proper equipment that ensures road safety is either factory-
installed or can be installed by your distributer. Always comply with
the applicable maximum permitted travel speed allowed for
tractors with public road equipment. Regardless of this maximum
speed allowed by law, for your safety, for the safety of others we
never recommend exceeding 25 km/h (15mph).
The rear-mounted road safety device consists of the following elements:
•2 lights (red taillight/brake light/direction indicator)
•2 retroreflective warning signs front and back
It is essential to replace the warning signs and lights in case of wear or damage.
4.7 Electronics
Power is supplied via a 3-pin connector on the tractor. 4 CAN modules are connected to the wiring
harness.
CAN-module
Magnetic fields can damage the electronics of the CAN module.
Electromagnetically actuated values are no longer able to switch.
Do not mount any magnets near the CAN module!

4.8 Hydraulic
The hydraulic supply to the two working units is via 2 separate single-acting control units. The return
flow from the oil is via the return flow cat. 4 from the load-sensing connection..
The return line must always be connected first - never apply oil
pressure to the return line - risk of damage to the oil cooler.
4.8.1 Oil cooler
An oil cooler is integrated in the return line to avoid unnecessary overheating. Low oil temperature
=> better lubricating properties => long service life of all hydraulic components.
As soon as the terminal is switched on, the cooler always runs with it.

4.8.2 Belt module on right and left working unit
Control of the belt direction left ①and right ② as well as the belt speed ③.
Emergency operation if electromagnetic valves do not work
•Mechanical emergency confirmation of the hydraulic main module in the event of a wire
damage (valves can no longer be operated by electromagnetic pressure).
•Turn the screw ①or ②clockwise according to the desired belt direction. Select the belt
speed via the screw ③: turn further inward clockwise => the belt runs faster

4.8.3 Rotor module on right and left working unit:
Electromagnetic valve ①: Lock rotor
Adjusting screw ②: Setting the damping; clockwise => damping becomes stronger
Adjusting screw ③: Setting the suspension; clockwise => suspension becomes stronger, rotor rests
less, can escape upwards more easily.
Normal operation: Knurled screw is screwed in; The electromagnetic valve can switch to shut-off or
shut off.
Valve does not switch:
Unscrew knurled screw several times and screw in again.
Unscrewed thumbscrew switches the valve to passage

4.8.4 Valve block
4.8.4.1 Load sensing adjustment (A) and pilot valve adjustment(B)
Loadsensing operation: Turn worm screw (A) fully inwards with Allen key width 4 and lock with nut.
Attention: for the pressure circulation without load, the couplings of
the load-sensing pressure line and the return line on the tractor must
be easy to turn. If the pressure is too high these connections can no
longer be turned => there is an error; Danger of overheating => please contact customer service.
Operation with constant pump: Unscrew the worm screw (A) counterclockwise with an Allen key
width 4 and lock it with the nut.
Pilot valve: with wrench size 7 this set screw (B) can be adjusted. Factory setting: the piston of the
valve is only lightly touched with the adjusting screw and then fixed with the lock nut. For emergency
operation, the flow can be adjusted from zero to maximum, depending on the position of the screw
(fully screwed in) (emergency operation see chapter 10)

4.9 Conveyor belt
The conveyor belt is driven hydraulically via a hydraulic motor ①with clutch ②.
The belt is tensioned via the flange bearings ③by means of fine adjustment ④for optimum setting
of the centred run of the conveyor belt. The belt guide rails ⑤hold the belt in position. For
adjustment, see "Chapter 8.8 Changing the conveyor belt".
The roller scraper ⑦ cleans the conveyor belt rollers. This can be adjusted separately for each side.
For adjustment and cleaning, see "Chapter 8.9 Adjusting the roller scraper".
Transition part (A) made of Robalon from the elastic pick-up to the conveyor belt. The belt sealing
plates (B) serve as protection against winding at the belt bearing. The crop slides into the swath via
the back (C).

5Attachment and detachment to the tractor
Attention: Never exceed the
permissible total weight of the tractor,
its maximum lifting capacity and the
maximum permissible axle loads!
The front axle load must always be at
least 20 % of the tractor's own weight.
Attach appropriate ballast weights to
the front of the tractor to ensure
correct steering and braking ability.
5.1 Requirements for the tractor
•2x double-acting control units with flow rate regulation
•Load sensing (pressure hose, return hose and control line)
•2-pole power socket
•One 7-pole power socket
•Reverse drive device
•Standardised 3-point linkage width 3
•Hydraulic top link advantageous (right height adjustment)
•Front ballast
5.2 Mounting to the tractor
For mounting you need a standardised 3-point linkage width 3.
The lifting struts of the tractor three-point linkage
should be aligned so that the lower links are parallel to
the ground.
The lower links must
be stabilised laterally
so that the machine is
not shifted sideways
during use.
Top link category 3 - hydraulic top link advantageous
(adjustment of raking height).
Before lifting the machine, be sure to close the rear window - risk of breakage.
Raise the machine and fold up the support feet on the right and left and secure with bolts.

5.3 Connecting the hydraulic line
Important: always mount or dismantle the machine in the same condition of folding on the tractor.
This ensures that the hydraulic oil level in the tractor remains unchanged. If this is not observed,
there will be a lack of oil or oil overflow in the tractor.
1. Before connecting the hydraulic lines put all control units in floating position and stop the
tractor so that the load-sensing connections are depressurised.
2. Connect the load-sensing hoses to the tractor connections
•Return line ①: cat 4
•Pressure line ②: cat 4
•Control line ③: cat 2
The return line must always be connected first - never apply oil
pressure to the return line - risk of damage to the oil cooler.
3. Connect single-acting connection LEFT ④ with control unit 1.
4. Connect single-acting connection RIGHT ⑤with control unit 2.

5.4 Connecting the lighting cable and the control terminal
Connect the 7-pin cable and check if the lighting works.
Connect the main cable from the control terminal to the machine, place the control panel in the
tractor cab and connect it to the power supply.
Cable damage due to inadequate routing and fastening.
Mechanical stress on the cable can cause damage.
Do not put any load on the cable during lifting and lowering of the
linkage.
5.5 Parking of the machine
Place the machine only on level and horizontal surfaces.
The machine can be parked in the transport or working position.
1. Fold down the support leg on the right and left.
2. Place the machine on the ground
3. Set the control units to float position and park the tractor.
4. Disconnect hydraulic hoses and cables. Remove main cable with control panel from machine
and store in dry place.
5. Open lower link and upper link hooks and lower hydraulics.
When parking in transport position,
pay attention to the pick-up side
covers so that they do not bend.
