Electric connection

Electric functions of the attachment:

As standard, the Silage dispenser is equipped with a manual side hatch adjustment. The hydraulic side hatch

operation is available as an option.
The hydraulic side hatch operation can be controlled with the standard electric harness that is supplied with

the attachment, with the Opticontrol® system (optional equipment for loaders) or with the optional Attachment

control switch pack of the loader.

If the Silage dispenser is equipped with hydraulic side hatch operation, the Attachment control switch pack or

the Opticontrol® system are recommended (optional equipment for loaders).

5.2.1

To connect the electric harness of the attachment to the loader

Starting form year 2016, there is an integrated electric plug in the multiconnector of the attachment. However,

a separate electric harness is also supplied with the attachment, to make it possible to connect and use the

attachment with loaders that are not equipped with an Opticontrol

system.

There are three ways to connect the electric connector, depending on the equipment on the loader and the

attachment:

1. If your loader is not equipped with the

Opticontrol

or the Attachment control switch

pack:

Use the separate cable kit with a switch that is

supplied with the attachment. Connect this cable to

the 12 V electric socket near the operator's seat of

the loader, and to the electric plug of the

attachment.

Electric plug, connects to the 12 V electric

socket near the operator's seat of the loader.

More information about the power outlet of

the loader can be found in the operator’s

manual of the loader.

ON-OFF switch

Select the location of the switch in the cab so

that it is easily accessible but will not be used

inadvertently.

Connect to the electric plug of the

attachment.

If the attachment is equipped with an electric

plug that is integrated to the multiconnector

of the attachment, disconnect the electric

cable from the multiconnector.
