4 Commissioning and working with the HEXAGON
4.1 Before initial commissioning
Carefully study the operating manual of the HEXAGON and the additional devices and familiarise yourself with
the operation of the equipment.
Check to see whether the hydraulic connections fit to your tractor.
Check whether all screws on the HEXAGON are fastened well.
4.2 Attachment to tractor
The HEXAGON should be attached to the tractor on even ground. Please insert the lower and upper link pins of
the appropriate category and secure them with locking pins. Adjust the upper link so that the basic frame is
horizontal.
Please note that oil emerges when the hydraulic line is unscrewed, thus resulting in pollution of the environment.
Therefore, always place a collecting container underneath.
4.3 Working with the HEXAGON cultivator
Before each use
check the condition of the hydraulic hoses and replace if necessary. Check moreover the
attachment of the chisel bodies and the state of wear.
The
working speed
of the HEXAGON depends on the operating conditions, for example, type of ground, working
depth, number of tools etc.
The HEXAGON must be
lowered slowly
with the three-point hydraulics in order to prevent damage to the
machine.
The height of the
land roller
can be adjusted mechanically using a spindle and it serves at the same time as a
depth guide. If the machine is used without a land roller and the tractor has not yet been equipped with control
hydraulics, support wheels must definitely be attached on the sides.
The arrangement of the
chisel bodies
can be varied and adapted to suit the row widths in question. It should be
ensured that the soil can flow well between the individual tools and that any cut wood does not catch. To prevent
clogging, we recommend using extension plates CL729.220000 to increase the distance between the tools.
Figure 2 Chisel body attachment
(1) The
attachment bracket
for the central tool can be mounted facing the front or the back, depending on the
desired position of the central tool.
(2) The
shearing pin
is located in the lower series of holes. It shears off when overloaded and must then be
replaced by a new one, possibly together with the washer and nut.
Please use only CLEMENS spare parts for this.
