5.8.2.3 Ball-type coupling and shell
WARNING Risk of being crushed, drawn in, becoming entangled and risk
of impact to people if the machine accidentally loosens from
the tractor!
•
Before travelling on extremely uneven ground/over clamp silos,
ensure that there is enough free space at the holding down-
device above the shell.
•
Mount the shorter holding-down device at the tractor's ball-type
coupling in case of insufficient free space.
•
Check the distance between holding-down device and shell.
The distance must be 0.5 - 1 mm.
Lubricate the coupling device every day to minimise wear on the ball
head and the shell. Lubricate the area between the holding-down
device and the surface of the shell as well.
