Tabl.4 – The table of requirements for the towing means for work with the machine:
(5)
Requirement for the tractor engine power for disc plough-harrow
SOFTER 4,5 NS
120 – 180 kW
(5)
Requirement for the tractor engine power for disc plough-harrow
SOFTER 6 NS
150 – 225 kW
(6)
Requirement for the
tractor's TPS
(7)
Spacing of the lower suspension joints (measured at the joint
axes)
1050±1,5 mm
(8
)
of the hole of the lower suspension joints for the machine
suspension pivots
37,4 - 37,75 mm
of the hole of the upper suspension joint for the machine
suspension pivot
32,0 – 32,25 mm
(9)
Requirement for the
tractor's hydraulic system
(10)
Side frame folding circuit
(14)
Circuit pressure 200 bar,
2 pcs of quick-coupler
sockets ISO 12,5
(11)
Axle lifting circuit
(15)
Circuit pressure 200 bar,
2 pcs of quick-coupler
sockets ISO 12,5
Connect the machine using the TPS suspension to the lower arms of the rear TPS of the tractor, secure the
TPS arms using pins against disconnecting.
When connecting, no persons may stay in the space between the tractor and the machine.
3.2.
HYDRAULICS CONNECTION
Connect the hydraulics only when the hydraulic circuits of the machine and the tractor (aggregate) are in a
pressure-less condition.
The hydraulic system is under high pressure. Regularly check for leaks and immediately remove obvious
damage of all lines, hoses, and pipe unions.
When seeking and removing leaks, use only the suitable tools.
For connecting the hydraulic system of the machine to the tractor, use the plug (on the machine) and the
socket (on the tractor) of the quick-couplers of the same type. Connect the machine quick-coupling units
to the tractor hydraulic circuits in such manner that the
RED DUST CAPS
side frame folding are on one
control circuit.
Marking of the tubes:
2 strips
– this tube is used for unfolding the machine
1
1 strip
– this tube is used for folding the machine
In order to prevent accidental or foreign person (children, passengers) caused movement of the
hydraulics, the control switchboards on the tractor must be secured or blocked in the transport
position.
3.3.
FOLDING AND UNFOLDING OF THE MACHINE
The hydraulics for the folding and unfolding must be connected to the double-action control unit.
The operator must ensure that during folding and unfolding of the side frames, no person or animal is
within their reach (i.e. at the place of their impact) or vicinity.
Perform folding and unfolding on flat and solid surfaces or laterally to the slope with the fully open
control unit.
Only fold or unfold the machine when lifted above the ground in the tractor suspension.
Remove stuck soil from folding points, soil may impair function and cause damage to the mechanics.
During folding or unfolding, check the side frames and have them continuously fold into the end position
to the stoppers.
Attention!!! The machine must be lifted above the ground in the tractor suspension for folding and
unfolding; otherwise there is a risk of damage to the wheels on the side rollers.
