PREPARATIONS ON THE TRACTOR
Please read the manufacturer‘s operating instructions in full before starting the tractor, act accor
-
ding to the manufacturer‘s instructions and be sure to observe the safety information and regula-
tions contained therein, as well as the general instructions.
Tires
Hitch rods
The inside track width should be as identical as possible at the front
and rear axle, adjust the track width if possible.
Make sure that the tire pressure is the same on all axles of the to
-
wing vehicle. A different tire pressure causes the towing vehicle
to tilt and has a negative impact on the operation of the attach
-
ment.
When working in the field, low tire pressure has a positive effect
on traction, fuel consumption and soil protection. We therefore re
-
commend choosing the lowest possible tire pressure (taking into
account the manufacturer‘s instructions).
For road transport on a paved surface, please observe the manu
-
facturer‘s instructions.
¾
The two lifting struts (A) must be set so that they have the same
length (B) on both sides from the center of the pin to the center
of the pin.
¾
The pins of the lifting struts (C) must be locked in a rigid position
and must not be in the slot or have any height clearance.
¾
The lower link struts (G) are to be set so that they are locked
against sideways swinging during road transport or in the raised
state, in the lowered state (when the device is working in the
ground) the side struts must be able to swing freely and must not
be fixed.
¾
The leg dimension between the two center hook points (D) must
be set exactly to the leg dimension of the device. When lowered
(when the plow does work in the ground), the side struts must be
able to swing freely and must not be fixed. Make sure that the full
pendulum clearance is set for the respective mounting dimensi
-
on of the plow´s linkage tower.
¾
The top link (E) should be pegged in the hole group (F) of the to
-
wing vehicle so, that the imaginary extended line of the top link
in intersects the front axle of the towing vehicle (working position,
see depth adjustment). In this way, the tire-slip can be reduced
to a minimum and the electronic hoist control can work correctly.
Ballasting
Correct ballasting reduces tire slippage, and thereby also redu
-
cing fuel consumption. If the front ballast is too low, the all-wheel
drive and the steering of the towing vehicle will work restrictedly.
Wheel weights on the rear axle can reduce the tire slippage to.
When choosing the ballasting, always observe the country-spe
-
cific rules of the legislature. As a basic value, you should make
sure that the front axle is permanently loaded with 20% - 40%
of the vehicle‘s empty weight. Always make sure that the ma
-
ximum permissible axle loads of the vehicle are not exceeded
and observe the specifications and recommendations of the
manufacturer.
Suitability of the tractor
Basically, the towing vehicle must be checked for suitability for use
with the attached device. Among other things, the following para
-
meters from the type certificate must be observed.
Check whether the following load specifications fit for the device
before you connect it:
¾
maximum permissible total weight
¾
maximum permissible axle loads
¾
maximum permissible trailer load
¾
maximum permissible vertical load
¾
Load capacity and air pressure limits of the tires
¾
the prescribed braking decelaration must also be adhered to
when the implement is connected
¾
Lifting power of the hitch
¾
Category size of the hitch
Electric hitch settings
Lock all control units and the hitch control against unintentional
operation during road-transport.
The operating mode „position control“ must be selected during
coupling / uncoupling of the device and during road-transport.
The operating mode „traction control „ can be used during field
work. We recommend setting the traction control as low as possib
-
le, a strong control frequency would have a negative impact on
the work result.
Coulters and processing tools are hardened components, placing
them hard on the ground can cause such components to break.
Therefore, set the lowering throttle as slowly as possible.
