horsch Titan 34 UW, Operating Instructions Manual

Page: 33 / 71

Parking
The reloading wagon should be parked in a
shed or under a roof so that no moisture can
accumulate in the hopper.
When parked outside the draining gate valve
should stay open, so that rain water or snow
can flow off.
The gate valve on the auger should be opened
so that the piston rod is retracted and thus pro-
tected against corrosion.
DANGER
There is a possibility that persons may become
crushed and severely injured between machine
and tractor!
Instruct persons to leave the area between trac-
tor and machine.
¾
Park the machine on level and solid ground.
¾
Extend the hydraulic support.
¾
Apply the parking brake, pull the red button
on the brake valve down to do so.
¾
Disconnect hydraulic and electrical connec-
tions and hook into bracket devices.
¾
Disconnect brake lines
¾
Take off the PTO shaft and store it in the re -
ceptacle provided for this purpose.
¾
Unhitching the machine
¾
Drain water from the air reservoir and close the
hose couplings, if the machine is not used for a
longer period of time.
¾
Store the computer of the weighing device in
a dry room.
After transferring fertiliser, thoroughly clean the
machine and hopper. Fertiliser is aggressive and
speeds up the corrosion process. It especially
attacks galvanised components like bolts.
Hopper emptying
WARNING
When unfolding the auger in the vicinity of over-
head lines there is a danger of electric shock,
which can lead to severe injuries. Keep an eye
on the area around the machine.
¾
Drive to the unloading point to empty the
hopper.
¾
Unfold the auger against the end stop.
The auger may collide with the tractor
when unfolding. The tractor should not
be positioned too far to the right.
¾
Open the tarpaulin cover on the hopper before
starting to empty the hopper. The resulting
vacuum may bend the stabilizing pipes in
the hopper.
¾
Switch on the PTO shaft.
The auger can be operated on the PTO-shaft
with a speed of up to 700 rpm.
¾
With increased tractor speed slowly open the
gate valve with the control unit.
The scale on the auger tube shows the posi-
tion of the gate valve.
¾
When the emptying process is finished or
the hopper is empty close the gate valve
and switch off the PTO shaft drive after short
coasting down the auger.
¾
Fold the auger back in, also in the field. For
road travel it must be folded in.
In order to protect the machine against
collision and damage, the access ladder
must always be folded out of the way
before the auger is folded in.
