Socket for lighting:

 7-pole

Socket for control set:

 3-pole (DIN 9680). The feed line of the 3-pole socket should

have a minimum cable cross section of 4 mm².

 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.

Maximum operating pressure:

 210 bar

Delivery rate of hydraulic pump

 min. 25 l/min and max. 45 l/min at 180 bar

Hydraulic oil of machine:

 ATF Hydraulic oil

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.

WARNING

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 69,

 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.

It is absolutely imperative to adapt the braking effect of the dual-line service brake system via the brake pressure regulator to the current loading condition of the machine before carrying out transport journeys.

Only with the braking effect adapted:

 will the pressure released by the trailer brake valve be limited,  will there be no run-on pushes,  will it be possible to sensitively and gradually slow down the

combination of tractor / machine,

 will the tractor / machine combination remain in straight position

due to advanced braking.

WARNING

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.

The conveyor speed for the crossover conveyor / C-conveyor / discharge conveyor for side discharge is infinitely adjustable.

The set conveyor speed determines the lateral delivery distance (throwing range) of the fodder next to the machine. An increasing conveyor speed results in a larger lateral delivery distance of the fodder.

The conveyor speed is infinitely adjusted at the current regulation valve:

 manually directly on the machine,  by remote control via the control set from the tractor.

The set scale value is not an absolute value for the conveyor speed, but only a reference value. Depending on the tractor model, the set conveyor speed may differ even if the scale value is identical.

Set the conveyor speed directly on the machine via the rotary knob (1) at the current regulation valve (2). Position (3) indicates the scale value for the set conveyor speed.

 Scale value 0 = lowest conveyor speed,  Scale value 10 = highest conveyor speed.
