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

The self-loading forage wagon is equipped with a 2-stage motor to double
the speed of the conveyor and shorten the time needed to unload the
remainder.
When unloading starts, the floor conveyor is switched on by this button.
After about two thirds of the crop have been unloaded, the speed of the
floor conveyor can be doubled. To do this, press switch (7).
The second speed stage only runs as long as the switch is being

needs to be re-adjusted.
The adjustment is made on the re-adjusting hexagon of the rod adjuster.
Set the free play “a” to 10 ... 12% of the connected brake lever length „B“.
Example: Lever length B = 150 mm corresponds to a free play of
15 ... 18 mm.
With automatic rod adjusters, the re-adjustment of the wheel brake is
made automatically when the brake cams have twisted by approx. 15%.

Every 1000 operating hours
The basic adjustment is the same as for the standard rod adjuster. The
adjustment is made automatically when the brake cams have twisted by
approx. 15°. The ideal lever adjustment (if the cylinder attachment cannot
be influenced) is approx. 15% before reaching the right angle.
The empty stroke “a” should be approx. 10% of the lever arm.
Functional check
Each time the brake linings are changed, at least once a year. Remove
the rubber cap. Turn back the adjusting screw (arrow) using a ring
spanner by approx. 3/4 turns. The free play should be at least 45 mm,
with a lever length of 150 mm.
Operate the brake lever several times by hand. The automatic adjustment
must run smoothly, i.e. you will hear the gear coupling lock in and the
adjusting screw will turn slightly clockwise on the reverse stroke. Fit the
cap. Grease it using ECO-Li 91.

All control units are in their neutral position. At the beginning, the swash
plate (17) is in its maximum swung-out position (see also “Motor OFF”)
As soon as the motor is started, the pump delivers the maximum volume
flow to the spools of all control units.
As the spools completely shut off the flow, the pressure rises the acts
upon the right side of the volume flow controller (8) which is moved to the
left against the compression spring (21).
The control edge (25) is now opened, enabling the pressure to access
the top face of the control ram (14). Now the swash plate (17) is moved to
the “Minimum pump capacity” position against the control spring (15).
This process takes 10 milliseconds.
In this pump position, the following happens:
Only such a volume flow is generated that is enough to compensate
leakage losses;
The pressure required for actuation of a consumer is maintained.
Since each control unit is in its neutral position, the load pressure input
(7) is pressureless (connected to the tank). To move the volume flow
controller, the pump pressure only has to overcome the spring (21). The
pressure required for this is xxx bar (see technical data of tractor) and is
referred to as the “Low-pressure standby”.
The pump remains in the “Low-pressure standby” position until a control
unit is actuated. In this position, the pump requires only little drive energy.

When a control device is actuated, requiring an increased flow from the
pump, the pump pressure drops slightly.
The following condition results at the volume flow controller (8):
the pump pressure acts on the right-hand face end
the load pressure + the spring force of the compression spring act in the
spring space (Margin pressure) (21).
Since the load pressure + the spring force of the compression spring
(Margin pressure) (21) is higher than the pump pressure on the right face
end, the volume flow controller (8) is moved to the right up to the stop.
As a consequence:
the free circulation of the pump pressure to the control ram is blocked.
the control ram (14) is connected to the tank (no pressure on ram face).
the swash plate (17) is tilted aside by the control spring (15).
The pump now pumps a higher volume flow. This process is referred to as
“Upstroking”. The volume flow of the pump is determined by the restrictor
effect of the open spool cross-section or by the setting of the flow divider
of an additional control unit.
Reduced flow requirement
When the spool cross-section is reduced (the volume flow is to be
reduced), the load pressure at the input (7) drops. This changes the force
ratio at the volume flow controller (8), actuating the volume flow controller
to the left against the spring, according to the pressure drop. The control
ram (14) is pressurized and the swash plate (17) is set to a more
horizontal position - the pump performs a downstroke until the volume flow
requirement is met.

When a constant load is required from a port (constant consumer), the
volume flow controller (8) is actuated to a stable position.
This keeps both the pressure on the top face of the control ram (14) and
the position of the swash plate (17) constant. As long as the position of
the swash plate (17) remains unchanged, the pump delivers a constant
flow.
The following pressures now result on the volume flow controller (8):
the load pressure (signal) + spring force of the compression spring
(margin pressure) (21) on the left side.
Pump pressure on the right side.
The difference in pressure is the differential pressure corresponding to
the spring force of the compression spring (21).

Downstroking of the LS pump is performed under the following
conditions:
• a control unit is set to the neutral position. No volume flow is
required.
• an additional control unit is set to the fine control range. A smaller
volume flow is required.
• in parallel operation, a control unit is actuated to the neutral
position or to the fine control range. A smaller volume flow is
required.
The pump must perform a downstroke whenever a smaller volume flow is
needed.
This will always happen when the pressure on the right face end of the
volume flow controller (8) is higher than on the left face (in the spring
space).
In this case, the volume flow controller (8) is moved to the left against the
compression spring (21), opening the control edge (25).
This results in a rising pressure on the top face of the control ram (14) that
sets the swash plate (17) to a more vertical position against the control
spring (15) – the volume flow is reduced.
When the spool cross-section is reduced (fine control range), the load
pressure at the input (7) drops.
This changes the force ratio at the volume flow controller (8) so that the
volume flow controller is actuated to the left against the spring, according
to the pressure drop.
The control edge (25) is opened, thus pressurizing the control ram (14).
The swash plate (17) is set to a more horizontal position and the pump
performs a downstroke until the volume flow requirement is met.
A pump downstroke is triggered not only by the change of load pressure
(signal).
An example:
When operating two control units in parallel, the load pressure values are
140 bar and 100 bar.
The pump pressure adjusts to a load pressure of 140 bar + spring
pressure (spring 21).
Both the volume flow controller (8) and the swash plate (17) are in a
constant position. The pump delivers the volume flow required for both
consumers.
When the second control unit (load pressure 100 bar) is now set to the
neutral position, the volume flow must decrease since only the first
hydraulic circuit needs to be supplied.
This is achieved by disconnecting a hydraulic circuit, leading to a shorttime increase of the pump pressure. The volume flow controller (8) is now
actuated to the left, the control edge (25) opens and the pressure on the
top face of the control ram rises. The swash plate (17) is set to a more
horizontal position, thus reducing the volume flow.

The pressure in the tractor’s hydraulic system is limited e.g. to 200 bar in
order to prevent component damage. This function is ensured by pressure
controller (9).
During normal operation (working pressure < max. pressure), the pressure
controller (9) is pushed to the right up to the stop by compression spring
(24).
When e.g. a control unit is actuated and the cylinder reaches its limit
position, the load pressure at input (7) rises until it is equal to the pressure
at the pump output (20).
Under such pressure conditions:
• the volume flow controller (8) is pushed to the right up to the stop
by compression spring (21).
• the pressure controller (9) is pushed to the left up to the stop
against compression spring (24).
This movement occurs at a pressure of e.g. 200 bar. The control
edge (26) is now opened, enabling the pump pressure to act upon
the top face of the control ram (14). The swash plate (17) is now
actuated against the control spring (15) to its end position “Min.
delivery”.
The LS pump now delivers the lowest volume flow against the maximum
pressure.
The hydraulic system remains at the max. pressure level as long as the
additional control unit is set to the neutral position.

• Absolutely avoid any overheating of the tractor hydraulic system.
• Do not disregard any warning signals possibly appearing on the
