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) upper link (1) in accordance with the manufacturer’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.

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.

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.

The shearing screw (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.

I

mportant!

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

Position both the support arms with pins (6) accordingly.

3. Swing hollow discs (left and right) into working position
(A)

Make sure pins (7) are inserted accordingly

4. Lower implement to the ground using tractor’s lifting
gear.

Drive a few metres into the working area then check the working

depth and the closing of the tine furrows.

5. If necessary, adapt tine angle to the operating conditions
(SK, EX).

Pos. B: Swivel the tines back (pos. B) if the required working

depth is not being obtained, e.g. with very heavy
ground.
