3.5. Operating principle
The Respiro R9 consists of 2 working units 3,5m Respiro profi with a 1000mm wide belt.
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 forage can be deposited by the
conveyor belt on either the left or the right.
Thereby with the R9 you can provide a centre swath, a side swath or two (small) night
swaths.

Patented 4-wheel chassis
Four sliding plates per working unit provide the ideal ground guide for the pick-up

11
The upper linkage (1) and the two
lifting struts (2) fix the unit to the
frame. The suspension is provided via
the yellow springs (3).

3.6. 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 (1) (red taillight/brake light/direction
indicator)
•4 red reflectors (2)
•2 retroreflective warning signs front and back (3)
•3 reflectors sideways (4)
It is essential to replace the warning signs and
lights in case of wear or damage.

3.7. Electronics/Sensors
Power is supplied via an ISOBUS connection of the tractor.
CAN-Modul
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!

3.8. Hydraulic
Axial Piston Variable Displacement Pump Bosch
Rexroth, Type A10VO.
Use the lowest system speed to enjoy all benefits:
✓Less wear of all components
✓Lower oil heating
✓Lower power requirement
✓Higher crop care; less leaf loss
Lower forage contamination and less foreign objects in the crop.
Each axial piston pump supplies one unit. The maximum power is 28kW.
The oil tank contains approx. 180 litres of hydraulic oil.
Overheating of the hydraulic oil.
Gaskets on valves and hydraulic elements can be damaged.
If possible, always use the free return flow to keep the oil heating low due to lower pressure
losses.
The working units are driven via the cardan
shaft, which drives two axial piston pumps.
Preselection of the 1000 PTO
When the axial piston pump is fully swung out,
the PTO speed must not exceed 750 rpm for
continuous operation.
The axial piston pump must not be operated
with zero delivery volume due to the risk of
overheating.
Hydraulic oil used: HLP 46
Regularly check the oil temperatures
