Before starting
The following checks must be
carried out before the “TITAN”
cutting forage wagon is used:
1. All lubrication points and gear
units are provided with sufficient
oil or grease. But for reasons of
safety, all lubrication points and
gear units should be checked
and lubricated or topped up if
necessary.
2. Check that all lubrication points
accept grease and that all seals
are intact.
3. Check tightness of all nuts and bolts.
4. Test operation of vehicles with units switched on.
Listen for unusual noises.
5. After test operation check the machine once again.
If necessary tighten nuts and bolts and re-tension
chains.
6. Ensure that all guards are attached.
7. Do not lock the dry forage extension in vertical
position. If possible lock the extension struts angled
15° to the rear.
8. All TITAN are designed for a PTO shaft speed of
540 rpm.
Attention:
The tightness of the 10 special bolts on the large
chain wheel of the conveyor drum must be checked
at regular intervals, in particular after first use.
Tightening torque: 93 Nm
We recommend a PTO shaft speed of
400 – 500 rpm for fuel economy and smooth
operation.
9. If it is not necessary to fold down the dry forage
extension, the retaining screws of the steel profile
laths can be tightened securely. This provides the
box with additional stability and reduces noise on
uneven ground.
If it is often necessary to fold the box down (e.g.
low barn headroom) the screws must be released
sufficiently to allow the laths to move freely.
