8.6 Pick-up
WARNING Risk to people of being crushed, drawn in and becoming
entangled due to unsecured powered driving elements!
Powering of the pick-up is not allowed with the side guard opened
and/or the protective casing of the pick-up removed. Fix the
protective casing of the pick-up properly to the machine and close
the right-hand movable side guard before operating the machine.
8.6.1 Bleed friction clutch of pick-up
The friction clutch must be bled before the first start-up and after
longer downtimes to ensure its proper functioning.
The easiest way to bleed the stuck friction clutch is to charge the
machine with material to be loaded for a short time with the groove
nut unscrewed such that the stuck friction clutch slips for a short
time.
1.

Unscrew and remove the four screws of
the protective casing (1) and the strut of
the pick-up.
2.

Remove the protective casing of the pick-
up.
3.

Unlock and unscrew the groove nut (2).
Remember exactly the number of
turns made to unscrew the
groove nut to ensure that the
friction clutch can be properly pre-
tightened again!
4.

Fix the protective casing of the pick-up to
the machine by means of the two screws.
5.

Start the tractor engine.
6.

Charge the machine with material to be
loaded for a short time such that the stuck
friction clutch slips for 2 to 3 seconds and
is freed (excessive slipping will damage
the friction linings).
Repeat this procedure up to three times if
the friction clutch does not slip.
