Caution!	When draining oil over a more extended period than usual (tractor –
	forage wagon – floor conveyor), the pump system of the tractor must be
	known (see “Prior to operation – Hydraulic system”).
	The buttons on the control box are only used to pre-select the different
	functions of the forage wagon. Operating the single-acting control valve
	on the tractor will activate the desired function.
	Between the different operations, the single-acting control valve of the
	tractor must be switched back to the neutral position.
	Only then a new function can be pre-selected on the control box.
	The floor conveyor is controlled using the double-acting control valve on
	the tractor.
	On the S-wagon, the floor conveyor speed can be varied using the rotary
	knob. This knob has no function on the K and P wagons!

Pick-up	Use this key to pre-select the pick-up mode. The pick-up can now be
lowered/raised	raised and lowered using the single-acting control valve. Switch
	on the pto for loading.
Attention	The pick-up will only remain in floating position if the pick-up mode is pre-

Floor conveyor	The floor conveyor is controlled using the double-acting control valve on
	the tractor. To set the floor conveyor to forwards or reverse, set the
	double-acting control valve to the raise or lower position.
Floor conveyor speed	QUANTUM 3500 S:
	The floor conveyor speed can be varied using the rotary knob provided
	the pick-up or the tailgate has been pre-selected.
	QUANTUM 3500 K / P, 2500 K / P, 3800 K / P:
	If the tractor is fitted with a flow rate controller, this can be used to vary
	the floor conveyor speed.
	The knob on the control unit has no function on the K and P
