The levelling plate has a shear-off safety to prevent
damage to the frame due to excessive loads on the
levelling plate.
The implement accessories include 3 sets of shear
bolts. When these have been used, attention must be
paid to the quality of the replacement bolts. Only
M12x60 bolts with a quality of 4.6 may be used.
The tightening torque of 10 Nm for the M12 bolts may
not be exceeded. If the M16 bolts behind have become
loose, a maximum tightening torque of 15 Nm must be
observed (Fig. 8).

9.4 Use of individual tools
With GK 400 M1, it is also possible to use individual tools (levelling plate, harrow, roller) separately
or in any combination, e.g. you can use the roller alone by completely extending the roller cylinder.
In this way, you can also use the implement on field crops for rolling after seeding.
If you only want to level and roll, position the roller and the levelling plate all the way down so that
the harrow rows are lifted off the ground. In addition, fix the rows of tines in the first or lowest hole.
10 Maintenance and care
10.1 General maintenance instructions
To maintain the implement in good condition even after a long service life, the following instructions
must be observed:
Before every operation, check the hydraulic hose lines for wear, damage and ageing.
When replacing the hydraulic hose lines, lines must be used that comply with the technical
requirements of the implement manufacturer.
In Point 5, you will find some basic safety regulations for maintenance work.
Original parts and accessories are designed especially for the machines or implements.
Please note that spare parts and accessories not supplied by us have also not been tested and
approved by us.
The installation or use of such products can therefore possibly negatively change or impede the
constructional properties of your implement. The manufacturer rules out any liability for damages
resulting from the use of non-original parts and accessories.
The manufacturer is not liable for any unauthorised modifications and the use of components
and auxiliary parts.
After cleaning, lubricate all of the grease points and distribute the grease evenly in the bearing
points (e.g. perform a short test run).
Do not use a high pressure cleaner to clean bearing and hydraulic parts.
The paint can be damaged by cleaning with excessive pressure.
During the winter, the implement should be protected against rust with an environmentally-
friendly product.
Park the implement protected from weather conditions.
