Check the compatibility of the hydraulic oils before connecting
the machine to the hydraulic system of your tractor. For details
about checking the compatibility of the hydraulic oils, contact
your agricultural machinery dealer if necessary.
Do not mix mineral oils with bio oils.
Depending on their function, the hydraulic components can be
connected to:
a double-acting control device,
a single-acting control device and a depressurised return line
leading directly into the hydraulic oil tank of the tractor.
Given a free choice, we recommend a single-acting control device
and a depressurised return line. The hydraulic oil flows back into the
hydraulic oil tank of the tractor through the free return line with a low
back pressure. Thus, a free return line reduces heating-up of the
hydraulic oil.

When hitching and transporting the machine for loading and
unloading, only use a tractor which meets the performance
requirements and can safely slow down the machine..
If the machine is equipped with a compressed-air brake system,
you are only allowed to start moving the machine when the
pressure gauge on the tractor indicates 5.0 bar.
3.7 Risks in case of non-observance of safety instructions and warning
signs
Non-observance of the safety instructions and warning signs may:
cause risk to people, environment and machine such as:
risk to people due to non-secured work areas,
failure of essential machine functions,
failure of specified methods for the use, service and maintenance of the machine,
risk to people due to mechanical and chemical effects,
threat to the environment due to leaking operating media.
Observe the information in the chapter "Basic safety instructions",
page 30.
The pick-up (1) is movably hinged to the CFS
drum and picks up the material to be loaded from
the swathe by means of its 6 tine rows.
Lifting and lowering of the pick-up to transport
and working position is effected via the control
system from the tractor seat by means of two
single-acting hydraulic cylinders.
The steerable, rubber-tyred roller feelers (2)
move the pick-up into its working position. The
roller feelers serve to:
adapt the pick-up in working position to
uneven terrain.
set different operating heights for the pick-
up lowered to working position. The
operating height is set via the respective
perforated strut (3) on both sides of the
pick-up.
The pick-up can be equipped with the additional
roller feelers (4) (optional extra). The additional
roller feelers run outside the track of the tractor
thus assisting the roller feelers in guiding the
pick-up in working position on particularly soft
ground.
Dangerous spots exist within the area of the
pick-up due to functional reasons.

5 Design and function
The following chapter provides information about the design of the machine, its function and the
handling of the individual components.
Some of the machines are illustrated with optional extras. Optional extras are marked in these
operating instructions and are available at extra cost.
The pick-up is driven by means of the feeder
rotor via the angular switchgear (1) and the
angular gear CFS (2).
The friction clutch (2) protects the powertrain
leading to the pick-up against damage in case of
overload and temporary torque peaks at the pickup.
Fig. 14
The pick-up and the dosing drums are driven by
means of the feeder rotor via the angular
switchgear (1), the angular gear CFS (2) and the
rear angular gear.
The clutches (3, 4) of the angular switchgear are
coupled with the hydraulic cylinders of the
tailgate via the hydraulic cylinders (5, 6). When
opening and closing the tailgate:
the hydraulic cylinder (5) actuates the clutch
(3) and engages or disengages the
powertrain (7) leading to the dosing drums.
the hydraulic cylinder (6) actuates the clutch
(4) and engages or disengages the
powertrain (8) leading to the pick-up.
The friction clutch (9) protects the powertrain
leading to the pick-up against damage in case of
overload and temporary torque peaks at the pickup.

Observe the information in the chapter "Switch cargo space lighting
on/off", page 126.
WARNING
Risk of being drawn in and becoming entangled by the powered
pick-up!
Never use the machine without holding-down device with pulley (1),
as holding-down-device and pulley also serve as a protective device.
5.1.2 Silage additive pump
Optional extra
The drive of the silage additive pump is connected with the open-centre position of the pick-up via the
control system.
If the pick-up is switched to open-centre position with the control system switched on, the silage
additive pump sprays silage additives.
The open-centre position of the pick-up must be switched off at the control set to interrupt the spraying
of silage additives, in order to possibly reduce the dosage of the silage additive.
Easy-to-use control
ISOBUS control
Switch on silage additive pump
1. Press and hold the Lighting cargo space key once.
The silage additive pump is switched on.
Switch off silage additive pump
1. Press and hold the Lighting cargo space key once again.
When picking up the material to be loaded, the
holding-down device and the advancing pulley
(1) press the material against the spring-loaded
tines of the pick-up. The distance set between
the holding-down device/pulley and the pick-up is
vital for proper picking-up of the material from the
swathe.
The length of the chains (2) determines the
distance between holding-down device/pulley
and pick-up:
large swathe = large distance between
holding-down device/pulley and pick-up
small swathe = small distance between
holding-down device/pulley and pick-up
Fig. 16
The feeder rotor (1) interacts with the cutting unit
(2) and transports the material picked up by the
pick-up (3) through the conveyor duct into the
cargo space. The CFS drum (4) conveys the
picked-up material into the outer parts of the
feeder rotor which are subject to less strain, thus
distributing the strain over the entire width of the
feeder rotor and the cutting unit.
Strippers (5) protrude into the gaps between the
conveying tines (6) of the feeder rotor thus
preventing the feeder rotor from becoming
clogged.
The cutting unit (1) engages into the conveyor
duct (2). The cutting unit can be extended into
and retracted from the conveyor duct by means
of two double-acting hydraulic cylinders (3)
actuated via the control set:
for elimination of blockages,
for return of cutting knives evaded to the
rear to their original position,
for removal and installation of cutting
knives.
The number of cutting knives (4) mounted in the
cutting unit determines the cutting length of the
loaded material. 36 cutting knives can be
mounted. The shortest theoretical cutting length
is then 39 mm.
Fig. 18
Blunt cutting knives (1) can be turned over once.
Thus, the grinding interval doubles.
Each individual cutting knife is able to evade
foreign objects. If a cutting knife encounters a
foreign object, it will evade to the rear and remain
in that position. This knife security system
protects the cutting knives against damage.
In order to return the cutting knife to its working
position, the cutting unit must be completely
retracted and extended once.
Fig. 19
The knife bag (1) for unused cutting knives or
spare cutting knives is positioned at the righthand front of the axle support close to the parking
brake.
The sensor (1) monitors the position of the
cutting unit.
A light barrier monitors the position of the
individual cutting knives and the soiling degree of
the cutting unit. The light barrier consists of the
transmitter (2) and the receiver (3).
The following positions of the "Cutting Unit"
symbol are available on the control set:
"Cutting unit extended" position if the cutting
unit has been completely extended into the
conveyor duct.
"Cutting unit retracted" position if the cutting
unit has not been extended into the
conveyor duct.
"Cutting knife out" position:
as soon as a cutting knife evades to
the rear,
as soon as the cutting unit is heavily
soiled.
Fig. 21
The chains (1) of the transport floor are equipped
with U-sections (2) and ensure consistent
feeding of the loaded material when charging
and discharging. Automatic chain tensioners
tighten the chains.
The transport floor is driven hydraulically via two
feed gearings.
The control set serves to:
switch the transport floor on and off,
variably adjust the feed rate of the transport
floor. The controllable volume flow of the
hydraulic oil is 2-80 l/min.
reverse the feed direction of the transport
floor for a short time (max. 3 seconds), e. g.
to eliminate blockages occurred at the
dosing drums during discharge.
Fig. 22
5.4 Transport floor
5.4.1 Set feed rate of transport floor (easy-to-use control)
Observe the information in the chapter "Change feed rate of transport floor", page 110.
5.4.2 Set feed rate of transport floor (ISOBUS control)
The feed rate of the transport floor depends on the set filling degree. Observe the information in the
chapter "Pre-select filling degree of loaded material in cargo space", page 136.
Switch the automatic charging system on for uniform and complete filling of the cargo
space.
The automatic charging system:
● has to be switched on only once,
● automatically switches the transport floor on and off during charging,
● is automatically deactivated if the easy-to-use control set generates an acoustic
signal (horn sound) and a visual signal ("Forage wagon full"),
● is automatically activated if the forage wagon has been emptied and the pick-up
is lowered the next time,
● remains switched on until the automatic charging system is manually switched
off.
The automatic charging system only works with the pick-up lowered.
The automatic charging system:
● is mounted at the load-protection bars and
mainly consists of the sensing band (1), the
gear shifting gate (2) and the limit
switch (3),
● is connected with the hydraulic drive of the
transport floor in ON mode,
During charging, the loaded material piles up at
the front panel of the cargo space. If the loaded
material piling up deflects the sensing band (1)
upwards, the hydraulic drive of the transport floor
starts and conveys the loaded material
backwards. The transport floor stops as soon as
the loaded material does not deflect the sensing
band (1) upwards any more.
The position of the gear shifting gate (2) with
respect to the sensing band (1) determines the
switch-on behaviour for the transport floor. The
gear shifting gate (2) can be fixed to the sensing
band (1) in different positions, in order to change
the filling degree of the cargo space.
Low filling degree = smaller deflection of sensing
band
High filling degree = larger deflection of sensing
band
● Sensing band in upper switch position
→ The automatic charging system is switched
on.

5.5 Load-protection bars with integrated automatic charging system
5.5.1 Easy-to-use control of automatic charging system
and off for uniform and complete filling of
the cargo space,
permits to adapt the filling degree of the
loaded material in the cargo space in 5%
steps.
Fig. 24
The higher the set filling degree, the higher the transport floor feed
rate and the smaller the filling capacity.
5.5.2 ISOBUS control of automatic charging system
When using the machine as a forage wagon, the loaded material piles up at the front grating of the
cargo space during charging. The loaded material piling up deflects the sensing band upwards and
actuates the control dial via the actuating plug.
As soon as the deflected sensing band reaches the lowest set position, the transport floor
automatically starts running at low feed rate and conveys the loaded material to the back. Increasing
filling of the front section of the cargo space initiates a further deflection of the sensing band. The feed
rate of the transport floor increases in proportion to the deflection of the sensing band.
As soon as the deflected sensing band reaches the highest set position, the loaded material is
conveyed to the back at maximum feed rate. The transport floor stops as soon as the front section in
the cargo space has been cleared and the loaded material does not deflect the sensing band upwards
any more.
A calibration of the automatic charging system helps to separately set the lowest position of the
sensing band for switching the transport floor on and off and the highest position of the sensing band
to switch over to maximum feed rate. Observe the information in the chapter "Calibrate automatic
charging system", page 136.
5.5.3 Deactivate automatic charging system and stop transport floor
Machine without dosing drums
An electrical pressure switch as signal generator for the automatic charging system is mounted on the
inside of the tailgate. If the machine is fully charged:
the ISOBUS control set will generate an acoustic signal (horn sound) and a visual signal "Forage
wagon full".
the automatic charging system will be deactivated and the automatic feed function for the
transport floor will be switched off.
Machine with dosing drums
The bottom dosing drum will evade to the rear if the loaded material applies a particular pressure to
this dosing drum. The switching plate releases an electrical pressure switch and disconnects the
automatic charging system and the hydraulic drive of the transport floor. The control set
simultaneously displays the message "Forage wagon full".
When lifting the tailgate, the hydraulic cylinders
first vertically lift the tailgate out of its locking
mechanism. The tailgate then swivels upwards to
the rear and raises completely.
When lowering the tailgate, it initially comes
down due to its dead weight. The hydraulic
cylinders only come into operation at the last
moment to close the tailgate and lower it
vertically onto the locking pin for being locked.
An electrical pressure switch as signal generator
for the automatic charging system is mounted on
the inside of the tailgate.
Fig. 25
When opening the tailgate, the hydraulic
cylinders (1) swivel the tailgate (2) back
upwards. The tailgate can then be opened at
different opening widths.
The first opening width of the tailgate (discharge
position) can be individually set via the control
set and the tailgate is automatically moved to
that position when pressing the Lift tailgate key.
When releasing and pressing the Lift tailgate
key again, the tailgate rises as long as the key is
pressed or until the tailgate has been completely
lifted.
When lowering the tailgate, it initially comes
down due to its dead weight. The hydraulic
cylinders only come into operation at the last
moment to close the tailgate and lower it
vertically onto the locking pin for being locked.
Fig. 26
These measures are intended to prevent the loaded material from being too strongly pressed against
the dosing drums and the drums from becoming clogged during discharge.
During discharge, the hydraulic drive of the transport floor automatically restarts as soon as the loaded
material is no longer applying any pressure to the bottom dosing drum.
5.6 Tailgate
The tailgate can be swivelled hydraulically and closes the cargo space on the rear side. The tailgate is
lifted and lowered by means of two hydraulic cylinders via the control set.
Machines with the type designation "DO" are
equipped with 2 or 3 beaters (1), depending on
the version.
The p.t.o. shaft of the tractor powers the bottom
beater via the propeller shaft, main gearbox,
front drive shaft, front angular gear, claw clutch,
lateral drive shaft and rear angular gear. The
individual beaters are connected with each other
by means of roller chains. Each roller chain is
equipped with a chain tensioner.

evades to the rear if the loaded material
applies a particular pressure to this beater.
The switching plate releases an electrical
pressure switch and disconnects the
hydraulic drive of the transport floor. The
control set simultaneously displays the
message "Forage wagon full".
These measures are intended to prevent the
loaded material from being too strongly pressed
against the beaters and the beaters from
becoming clogged during discharge.
During discharge, the hydraulic drive of the
transport floor automatically restarts as soon as
the loaded material is no longer applying any
pressure to the bottom beater.

Access door (1), ladder (2) and handle (3) permit
access to the cargo space. The locking
mechanism (4) secures the closed access door
and the folded-up ladder in transport position.
The actuating speed of the hydraulic functions (hydraulic
components) depends on the tractor's hydraulic system.
Depending on the tractor model, a correction of the set actuating
speed at the tractor's control device/the machine's control block
may be necessary.
For information about the required control devices, refer to the
chapter "Required tractor equipment", page 25. For information
about the hose markings, refer to the chapter "Marking of

Risk to people of becoming entangled and wound up due to an
unsecured propeller shaft or damaged protective devices!
Never use the propeller shaft without protective device or with a
damaged protective device or without proper handling of the clip
chain.
Before starting operation, always check:
all protective devices of the propeller shaft for proper
mounting and functioning,
whether there is sufficient free space around the propeller
shaft in any operating state. Insufficient free space will lead
to damage on the propeller shaft.
Immediately have damaged or missing parts of the propeller
shaft replaced by original parts from the propeller shaft
manufacturer.
Observe the fact that only an authorized workshop is allowed to
repair a propeller shaft.
WARNING
Risk to people of becoming entangled and wound up due to
unprotected propeller shaft parts within the power transmission
area between the tractor and the powered machine!
Only carry out work with the drive unit between tractor and powered
machine completely protected.
The unprotected parts of the propeller shaft must always be
protected by means of a protective cover mounted on the tractor
and a protective sleeve mounted on the machine.
Check whether the protective cover mounted on the tractor or
the protective sleeve mounted on the machine and the safety
and protective devices of the extended propeller shaft overlap by
at least 50 mm. If not, the machine must not be powered via the
propeller shaft.
Proper use and maintenance of the propeller shaft prevent
serious accidents.
When coupling the propeller shaft, observe:
the admissible drive speed of the machine,
the correct driving direction of the propeller shaft,
the correct fitting length of the propeller shaft, see chapter
"Adjust length of propeller shaft to tractor", page 95,
the correct fitting position of the propeller shaft. The tractor
symbol on the protective tube of the propeller shaft
indicates the propeller shaft connection at the tractor.
Before switching the propeller shaft on, observe the safety
instructions for propeller shaft operation.
5.14 Propeller shaft
The power transmission between tractor and machine is effected by means of the propeller shaft.
1. Clean and lubricate the p.t.o. shaft on the
tractor.
2. Hitch the machine to the tractor.
3. Check whether the p.t.o. shaft has been
switched off.
4. Slip the locking mechanism of the propeller
shaft onto the p.t.o.shaft of the tractor until it
noticeably engages. When coupling the
propeller shaft, observe the included
operating instructions for the propeller shaft.
5. Secure the propeller shaft guard at the
tractor and at the machine against rotating
by means of the clip chains (1):
5.1 Fix the clip chains at right angles to the
propeller shaft if possible.
5.2 Fix the clip chains such that a
sufficient swivelling range of the
propeller shaft is ensured in any
operating state. Clip chains must not
get entangled in tractor or machine
components.
6. Ensure that there is sufficient free space
around the propeller shaft in any operating
state. Insufficient free space will lead to
damage on the propeller shaft.
Fig. 44
CAUTION
Risk of burns due to contact with hot propeller shaft
components!
Do not touch considerably warmed-up propeller shaft components
(particularly do not touch any couplings).
Clean and lubricate the propeller shaft before longer downtimes.
1. Pull the propeller shaft locking mechanism
off the tractor's p.t.o.shaft.
2. Place the propeller shaft onto the respective
holder (1).
Observe the fact that the braking axle needs to run in during the
first service hours – the brake lining is adjusting to the brake
drum. Full braking power is only reached after this running-in
period.
Check the brake system for proper functioning before carrying
out transport journeys.
Observance of the maintenance intervals is indispensable for proper
functioning of the dual-line compressed-air brake system.
WARNING
Risk due to insufficient braking ability of the machine if the
mechanical ALB regulator has not been properly set!
The setting dimension (L) at the ALB regulator must not be modified.
The setting dimension (L) must correspond to the value indicated on
the WABCO-ALB plate.
5.15 Brake system
Depending on the machine’s equipment, the brake system consists of:
a dual-line compressed-air brake system possibly equipped with automatic load-sensitive brake
pressure regulator and parking brake for an admissible maximum speed of 25 km/h or 40 km/h or
60 km/h.
a hydraulic service brake system (optional extra for export) with parking brake for an admissible
maximum speed of 25 km/h or 40 km/h respectively. The hydraulic service brake system has
been designed for connection to a controlled hydraulic service brake system of a tractor.
5.15.1 Dual-line compressed-air brake system
The brake system consists of:
a braking axle with a dual-line compressed-air brake system and parking brake for an admissible
Risk of crushing, cuts, becoming entangled, being drawn in and
risk of impact to people due to improper functioning of the
service brake system!
When connecting the brake and feed line, ensure that:
the sealing rings of the hose couplings are clean,
the sealing rings of the hose couplings seal tightly.
Immediately replace damaged sealing rings.
Drain the air reservoir every day before the first trip.
Only start the tractor with the hitched machine moving when the
pressure gauge of the compressed-air brake system on the
tractor indicates 5.0 bar.
Check the course of the connected brake lines! The brake lines
must not chafe against external components.
WARNING
Risk of crushing, cuts, becoming entangled, being drawn in and
risk of impact to people if the machine rolls due to the service
brake system being released!
Always connect the hose coupling of the brake line (yellow) first and
then the hose coupling of the feed line (red).
The machine's service brake system immediately comes off the brake
position if the red hose coupling is connected.

1. Fasten the ripcord to the tractor such that in case of the machine being torn off, the ripcord is in a
horizontal position between tractor and machine.
Couple after emergency braking:
1. Connect the brake hose to the tractor.
2. Set the brake valve at the tractor such that the hydraulic oil can flow back to the tractor.
3. Press the drain valve at the emergency brake valve.
The hydraulic oil flows back to the tractor and the pressure accumulator is depressurized.
4. Insert the ripcord with the clip connector into the borehole of the operating lever.
5. Set the operating lever back to its initial position.
6. Actuate the brake system of the machine several times.
The pressure accumulator is filled and the emergency brake valve is ready for operation again.
Uncouple:
1. Make sure that the hydraulic pipe between tractor and machine has been depressurized.
2. Secure tractor and machine against accidental rolling by means of the parking brake.
Ensure that the cable does not rest on or chafe against other vehicle
components.

6 Commissioning
This chapter will provide information:
on how to proceed when commissioning your machine,
on how to check whether the machine is licensed for being attached/hitched to your tractor.
Risk due to incorrect use of the tractor if this causes failure of
components, insufficient stability and insufficient steerability
and braking ability of the tractor!
Check your tractor for compatibility before attaching/hitching the
machine to the tractor.
Only attach/hitch the machine to appropriate tractors.
Carry out a brake test to check whether the tractor reaches the
required deceleration with the machine attached / hitched up.
The gross vehicle weight rating of the tractor, which is specified in the
operating instructions/in the tractor's vehicle registration certificate,
must exceed the sum of:
the tractor's empty weight,
the ballasting mass,
the tongue load of the hitched machine.
6.1 Check tractor's compatibility
The following features are crucial prerequisites for the compatibility of the tractor:
the gross vehicle weight rating of the tractor,
the admissible axle loads of the tractor,
the admissible tongue load/towing capacity at the coupling device of the tractor,
These details are registered on the type plate, in the vehicle registration certificate and in the
operating instructions of the tractor.
the load-bearing capacities of the tyres mounted on the tractor.
The tractor's front axle load must never fall below 20 % of the tractor's empty weight.
The tractor must reach the deceleration specified by the tractor's manufacturer even with the machine
attached/hitched up.
Risk due to failure of components caused by incorrect use of the
tractor!
Ensure:
that the coupling device at the tractor has a sufficient admissible
tongue load rating for the actually existing tongue load.
that the coupling device at the tractor and the drawgear at the
rigid drawbar trailer are able to take up the towed load of the
rigid drawbar trailer (towed load = axle load). Calculate the
tractor’s admissible towing capacity if necessary.
that the tractor's axle loads and weights influenced by the
tongue load are within the admissible limits. Check the weight in
case of doubt.
that the static, actual rear-axle load of the tractor will not exceed
the admissible rear-axle load rating.
that the gross vehicle weight rating of the tractor will not be
exceeded.
that the admissible load-bearing capacities of the tyres mounted

6.1.2 Preconditions for the operation of tractors with rigid drawbar trailers
6.1.2.1 Combination options of coupling devices and drawgears
The following table shows admissible combination options of the tractor's coupling device and the
machine's drawgear depending on the maximum admissible tongue load.
The maximum admissible tongue load for your tractor is directly indicated on the type plate of the
coupling device/in the operating instructions/in the vehicle registration certificate of your tractor.
Risk to people due to failure of components caused by breaking
coupling devices between tractor and machine in case of
incorrect use of the tractor!
Only combine compatible coupling devices and drawgears.
Calculate the actual DC value of your combination consisting of
tractor and rigid drawbar trailer to check the coupling device of
your tractor for the required DC value. The actual calculated D
C
value for the combination must be less than or equal to (≤) the
specified DC value of the coupling device of your tractor and the
drawgear of the rigid drawbar trailer. If this is not the case, the
admissible towing capacity for your tractor must be calculated. In
each case, the lowest DC value shall be relevant.
Calculate the admissible towing capacity of your tractor if the
calculated DC value for the combination is higher than the
specified DC value of the coupling device of your tractor or of the
drawgear of the rigid drawbar trailer. This calculated towing
capacity must not be exceeded when charging your rigid
drawbar trailer.

6.1.2.2 Calculate actual DC value for combination to be coupled
The actual DC value of a combination to be coupled is calculated as follows:
The lowest DC value of your tractor's coupling device or of the drawgear of your rigid drawbar trailer
determines the admissible towing capacity C of your tractor. In case of rigid drawbar trailers, the
tractor's towing capacity is equal to the axle load(s) of the rigid drawbar trailer.
The admissible towing capacity of your tractor determines the admissible load capacity of your rigid
drawbar trailer. This calculated towed load/axle load must not be exceeded when charging your rigid
drawbar trailer.
Example
Due to the DC value of the tractor's coupling device, the admissible axle load is 14.5 t. This calculated
axle load must not be exceeded when charging your rigid drawbar trailer.
Risk of electrical shock or burns due to machine components
accidentally touching electrical overhead lines or approaching
high-voltage overhead lines in an inadmissible manner!
Make sure not to exceed the maximum vehicle height of 4 m.
Two people are required for mounting the attachment sections, ropes
and the body tarpaulin.

Only an authorised workshop is allowed to adjust the mounting height
of the folding drawbar!
WARNING
Risk of being crushed, drawn in, becoming entangled and risk of
impact to people if the hitched machine accidentally loosens
from the tractor due to worn drawbar lug and coupling bolt!
Ensure that there is enough free space between the drawbar lug and
the coupling bolt when lifting the folding drawbar.
The distance X must be 1180 mm between the
ground and the machine frame with the forage
wagon with lowered folding drawbar hitched up
to the tractor.
The mounting height of the folding drawbar in
relation to the machine frame must be aligned by
means of the threaded spindles of the hydraulic
cylinders if the actual distance X is not 1180 mm.
Use the rear borehole of the respective screw-on
seat (1) if you cannot reach the required distance
X, in particular in case of bottom linkage.
Fig. 64
6.4 Adjust mounting height of folding drawbar
Shop work
You must have the mounting height of the folding drawbar adjusted to the respective tractor model by
an authorised workshop, in order to ensure that the lowered pick-up can properly adapt to uneven
terrain. Only a properly adjusted mounting height of the folding drawbar guarantees best possible
picking-up of the material to be loaded.
1. Park the tractor and the hitched machine on
even ground.
2. Lower the folding drawbar by completely
retracting the hydraulic cylinders of the
folding drawbar.
3. Secure tractor and machine against
accidental starting and rolling.
4. Unscrew the counter nut (2) of the threaded
spindle (3).
5. Turn the piston rod (4) of the two hydraulic
cylinders alternately in the required
direction.
Increase distance X = turn piston rod
clockwise
Reduce distance X = turn piston rod
counterclockwise
Adjust the two threaded spindles
evenly.

6. Retighten the counter nuts of the threaded
spindles.
7. Start the tractor engine.
8. Completely lift the folding drawbar.
9. Ensure that there is enough free space
between the drawbar lug and the coupling
bolt. The coupling bolt must not chafe
against the borehole of the drawbar lug.
Change the level of the bolt-type coupling at
the tractor if the coupling bolt is chafing in
the borehole of the drawbar lug.
10. Ensure that there is sufficient free space
around the propeller shaft in any operating
state. Insufficient free space will lead to
damage on the propeller shaft.
Fig. 66
WARNING
Risk to people of being drawn in and becoming entangled due to
assembly work on the propeller shaft carried out improperly or due to
unauthorized structural alterations!
Only an authorized workshop is allowed to carry out structural alterations on
the propeller shaft. Observe the included operating instructions of the propeller
shaft manufacturer.
Adjustment of the propeller shaft length is allowed if observing the required
minimum transverse contact ratio.
Structural alterations to the propeller shaft which are not specified in the
included operating instructions for the propeller shaft are not allowed.
Risk to people due to blown out objects if the length of the
propeller shaft has been improperly adjusted thus being
compressed during cornering!
Have the length of the propeller shaft checked in all operating states
by an authorized workshop and adjusted if necessary before coupling
the propeller shaft to your tractor for the first time.
This will prevent propeller shaft compression or insufficient transverse
contact ratio.
Absolutely observe the operating instructions provided by the propeller shaft
manufacturer along with the propeller shaft when determining the length and
shortening the propeller shaft!
The adjustment of the propeller shaft only applies to the current tractor model.
Readjustment of the propeller shaft may be necessary if hitching the machine to
another tractor.
4. Slip the locking mechanism of the propeller
shaft half with the tractor symbol (Fig. 67)
on the protective tube onto the p.t.o. shaft
of the tractor until the locking mechanism
noticeably engages.
Fig. 67
Fig. 68
Assembly instructions for authorized workshop:
1. Hitch the machine to the tractor (do not couple the propeller shaft).
2. Take the shortest operating position of the propeller shaft.
The shortest operating position is reached when driving onto the silo with the folding drawbar
completely lifted. Depending on the tractor's drawgear, the propeller shaft halves slide together
by approx. 150 mm when driving onto the silo with the folding drawbar lifted.
3. Pull the propeller shaft apart.
5. Slip the locking mechanism of the other propeller shaft half onto the p.t.o. shaft of the machine
until the M16 screw can be inserted into the C-slot of the p.t.o. shaft, and tighten the M16 screw
at a tightening torque of 200 Nm.
6. Shorten the propeller shaft, such that the minimum free space (X) is at least 40 mm in its
shortest operating position (Fig. 68).
7. Reinsert the shortened propeller shaft halves into each other.
8. Lubricate the p.t.o. shaft of the tractor and the propeller shaft of the machine before coupling the
propeller shaft.
