6.1 Road and transport travel
Please observe the safety instructions in these operating instructions.
For road travel, the machine/attachment is set so that its space consumption is minimal. Further settings must be
made in such a way that road traffic is not obstructed. The traffic regulations must be observed.
When driving on the road, the machine/attachment must be switched off.
In order to avoid traffic obstructions, all attachments and working implements as well as the tractor should be
freed from larger impurities which could come loose during road travel.
6.2 Operating and adjusting the machine
Attention:
When leaving the tractor for mounting, dismounting and making adjustments always switch
off the drive and engine.
Remove ignition key!
Secure the tractor and machine against unintentional movements (e.g. rolling away, lowering,
etc.).
Observe the relevant accident prevention regulations and all other information given in the
operating instructions!
When attaching or removing implements to the tractor do not step between tractor and
implement!
6.2.1 General indications
The swivelling range of the RADIUS blade share is infinitely variable between 0 and 90 degrees.
The blade share with sensor rod is available in sizes 370 mm (14.5”), 500 mm (20”) and 620 mm (24”).
The driving speed should be 4 -1 0 km/h (2.5 - 6.2 mph) depending on soil conditions and culture.
The RADIUS units are available with electromagnetic manual control with pressure relief valve (optional for one-
sided manual control
This enables to adjust the pressure of the blade share from 0-180 bar (0
– 2611 psi),
depending on the soil conditions. When the manual control is actuated, the system is depressurized and the
RADIUS blade share pivots in.
The RADIUS operates via a
single-acting
hydraulic valve.
a)
required oil quantity for one-sided operation:
6
– 10 l/min (1.5 – 2.6 gpm)
b)
required oil quantity for two-sided operation:
(3.0
– 5.2 gpm) (flow divider is necessary)
The return flow of the oil should always be guided pressureless (best by means of 15 mm (0.6”) pipe
diameter) back into the tank.
It must be ensured that the oil is delivered into the tank below the oil level (see
The return hose should have at least nominal diameter 13 mm (0.5”) for one-sided operation and at
least nominal diameter 16 mm (0.63”) for two-sided operation from the collective return.
Ensure that the oil is filtered at one point in the circuit. It is advisable to do this in the suction line so that there is
no backflow in the return line (see Figure 10).
