Lifting hook; attach lifting tackle (chains, ropes, etc.) here when performing loading work! 21 | P a g e Operational Safety The machine must only be put into operation after receiving instructions by employees of the authorized dealer or a HORSCH employee. The Machine Registration Form has to be completed and returned to HORSCH. Road Traffic Safety The valid road traffic regulations are to be observed when travelling on public roads, paths and areas. Do not exceed the maximum permissible transportation widths and heights and install road lighting equipment, warnings and safety covers where necessary. Do not exceed the permissible axle loads, tire carrying capacities and total weights, in order to ensure sufficient steering and braking capabilities. Handling is affected by the implement connected. It is important to take into account the large overhang and the centrifugal mass of the implement, particularly when cornering. The whole machine is to be cleaned of soil that has been collected before travel on public roads. Passengers are strictly forbidden to ride on the machine. Accident Prevention In addition to the operating instructions, it is important to observe the accident prevention regulations specified by agricultural trade associations! 22 | P a g e Hitching/Unhitching There is risk of injury to persons when hitching/unhitching the machine to the three-point hitching device of the tractor. • Secure the machine against rolling away. • Take special care when reversing the tractor. Never stand between tractor and machine. • Only park the machine on a firm and level surface. For further information see Page 31. Changing Implements • Secure the machine against unintended rolling! • Secure lifted frame parts, under which you will be working, with suitable supports! • Caution! Danger of injury caused by protruding parts (tines, discs)! • Do not use the packer or other rotating parts when climbing onto the machine. These could start to rotate and you could fall and be seriously injured. In Operation • Check the area around the machine (for children!) before setting off and starting operation of the machine. Ensure sufficient visibility! • Stay clear of the operating range of hydraulically operated parts. • Passengers are not allowed to ride on the machine during operation! Service and Maintenance • Ensure that regular tests and inspections are always carried out to schedule, as specified in the operating instructions. • Prior to performing maintenance and servicing work, ensure that the machine is positioned on firm, level ground and that it is properly secured against rolling away. • Prior to working on the electrical system, disconnect it from the electric power supply. • Retighten screwed connections which had been loosened during servicing and maintenance work. For further Service and maintenance information see Page 35. Do not wash new machines with a steam-jet or high-pressure cleaner. The paint takes approximately 3 months to cure and could thus be damaged if this time has not yet expired. 23 | P a g e 24 | P a g e Correct Calculation of Ballasting The permissible total weight, the permissible axle loads and the load bearing capacity of the tires must not be exceeded when attaching implements in the 3-point linkage at front and rear. The front axle of the tractor must always be loaded with at least 20 % of the tractor’s curb weight! Before transportation on public roads you must make sure that the tractor is not overloaded and suitable for this implement. Data for calculation: All specified weight in (lbs.) All specified dimensions in (feet) TL - Curb weight of tractor TV - Front axle load of empty tractor TH - Rear axle load of empty tractor GH - Total weights of rear implement GV - Total weight of front implement a - Distance from center of gravity of front implement (front ballast) to middle of front axle b - Tractor wheel base c - Distance from middle of rear axle to middle tractor link arm ball d - Distance from middle of tractor link arm ball to center of gravity of rear implement (rear ballast) x - Information of tractor manufacturer for min. rear ballasting. If no information is available, enter 0.45. 25 | P a g e Formulas: 1. Calculation of minimum front ballasting with rear implement: Enter the result into the table. 2.

Joker CT Maintenance: The bearings are oil filled and therefore, maintenance free. Disc feeder bearing. Check the discs regularly for clearance, leaks, tightness and unrestricted rotation. Notes on cleaning: The mechanical seals of the disc hubs are very sensitive. If water has entered them and the machine is then parked over a longer period of time, damage may occur. This can cause corrosion, and both mechanical seal rings may stick together. The mechanical seal rings will then rotate around the O-ring and damage it. Oil would run out of the hub and the bearing would be damaged after a short while with no lubrication. • Bearings must therefore not be cleaned with high pressure cleaning equipment. • Before longer periods of rest the bearing locations should be sprayed with a rust dissolver or similar. 29 | P a g e Before resuming operation the discs should be turned by hand and checked for unrestricted rotation. The disc hub is oil filled as mentioned above. If the seals or O-rings are damaged and further service is required, replace the seals and O-rings and fill the hub with 1.3 ounces 75w140 synthetic gear oil. Ballast Kit Machine comes with Ballast Kit. • Add and remove weights as needed to achieve desired weight for operation. • Weight is added to help machine go in ground. • Each individual weight ballast weighs 100 lbs. Check to make sure Ballast Kit is secure before operation. 30 | P a g e Hitching/Unhitching the Machine Nobody is to remain between the tractor and the machine when hitching up and unhitching. Hitching-up: • Hitch up the machine to the three-point hitch on the tractor. • Connect the road lighting equipment plug and check the function. • Lift the machine. Do not transport the machine in a position higher than necessary. Parking: • Only park the machine on a firm and level surface. • Disconnect the road lighting equipment plug. • Unhitch the machine. ATTENTION - Cat III QuickHitch Compatible 31 | P a g e RollFlex Packer RollFlex can be attached as a rear packer on the machine. While in use in the field the machine always travels on the packer. Due to the weight of the machine a high consolidation and a fine crumbly, level surface is achieved. RollFlex Packer With cohesive soils the packers may pick up more soil and thus become considerably heavier. This can overload components or soil the roads during transportation. Packers must therefore, always be cleaned before road transportation if they have picked up soil. 32 | P a g e Setup Procedure On hard level surface: 1. Unhook tractor and implement with Rollflex upper depth control pins removed. 2. Set tractor lower link arms to allow lateral float. 3. Adjust lower links so both are at same height. 4. Raise the three-point hitch so that the lower links are just touching the lower mounting pins on the implement. (Record three-point lever location.) 5. Lower the three-point of the tractor to an even distance from the lower mounting pins (i.e. 2”) and record lever location. This will provide the correct depth setting in the field and give the operator a scale by which to adjust depth from. 6. Attach the tractor to the implement, placing the three-point hitch so that it’s at the position found in Step 4. 7. Adjust top link so that it’s tight. In Field Setup: 1. Start a pass in the field and adjust to desired working depth. 2. Continue pass in the field and observe the three-point hitch movement side-to-side. Stop the tractor with the implement still in the ground and observe three-point. If the implement is pulled tight to one sway block, adjust top link to correct. The implement is leveled correctly when the three-point “floats” side-to-side when at working speed and depth in the field. 3. Install Rollflex depth control pins at a setting that allows for constant pin contact with packer frame. Do not allow Rollflex frame to hammer against pins while operating; this will cause excessive wear on the frame and pins and provide inconsistent performance. 4. Continue on the same pass in the field and adjust top link accordingly to minimize side draft. 33 | P a g e Machine Adjustment 1. Adjust length of lower link arms so machine is level side-to-side. 2. Remove lateral float locks from tractor lower link arms. This will allow the machine to follow the ground contour independent of the tractor. 3. Place hitch sway blocks to prevent side movement of arms when working. 4. Place packer depth control pins in desired locations. 5. Lower hitch and slowly operate (5-6 mph) machine in field. Adjust hitch to obtain desired working depth. 6. Set hitch stop point at desired depth. This will prevent machine from working deeper in varying soil conditions. 7. When slowly operating machine, observe machine and hitch lower link arms to determine which direction the machine is pulling. Adjust top link arm until machine pulls straight behind tractor. Proper adjustment is achieved when lower link arms do not contact sway blocks or slightly contacts sway blocks in an alternating motion. 8. Observe packer depth control pins; when operating machine the packer arms should be tight to the pins or not contacting arms at all. Arms must not repeatedly contact pins throughout field or excessive wear may occur to pins and arms. Adjust pin location so that this does not occur. 9. Increase operation to desired speed (8-10 mph) and make fine adjustments as necessary. With cohesive soils the machine may accumulate material and become considerably heavier. This can overload components or create a hazard on the roads during transportation. Machine must therefore, always be cleaned before road transportation. 34 | P a g e Depth Setting In working position, the packer carries the machine at the rear. The inclination of the machine is determined by the front three-point hitch. In the field, lower the machine and switch the linkage control unit to float position. In working position, use the pins to adjust the packer height, until the desired working depth is reached. In working position, adjust the inclination of the machine on the upper link, until it is set horizontally. The machine must be level in order to operate properly! Rear Depth Setting 35 | P a g e Maintenance and Servicing Observe the safety instructions for maintenance and servicing. Your machine has been designed and constructed for maximum power, efficiency and user-friendliness according to a multitude of operating conditions. Your machine has been checked at the factory and by your appointed dealer prior to delivery in order to determine that the machine is in perfect condition. The recommended maintenance and servicing schedule should be carried out at regular intervals in order to maintain failure-free operation. Cleaning The recommended cleaning and maintenance work should be carried out at regular intervals in order to maintain operational availability and guarantee optimum performance. The bearings should not be cleaned with a high pressure cleaner or direct water jet. The seals and bearings are not waterproof under high pressure. Maintenance Periods The maintenance intervals are determined by various different factors. Various operating, weather and soil conditions as well as working speeds affect the maintenance intervals, but also the quality of the lubricants and cleaning agents used determines the time interval required until the next period of maintenance work. The specified maintenance intervals can therefore only be regarded as an indication. The intervals of maintenance work affected have to be adjusted to suit the conditions should there be any deviations from normal operating conditions. Regular maintenance forms the basis for a serviceable machine. Serviced machines lower the risk of malfunctions and guarantee the efficient application and operation of machines. Storage Should the machine not be used for a longer period of time, follow these steps: If possible, store the machine under a roofed area. Protect the machine against rust. Only spray with biologically degradable oils, i.e. rapeseed oil. 36 | P a g e Lubricating Machine The machine should be lubricated regularly and after every pressure wash. This ensures operational reliability and reduces the costs of repair work and down times. Hygiene When used according to regulations, lubricants and mineral oil products present no danger to health. You should, however, avoid longer contact to the skin and not breathe in any fumes. Exposure to Lubricants CAUTION: Avoid direct contact with oils by wearing gloves or protective creams. Thoroughly wash off traces of oil on the skin with warm water and soap. Do not clean your skin with petrol, diesel fuel or other solvents. Oil is poisonous. You should immediately visit your doctor if you have swallowed oil. • Ensure that lubricants are kept out of reach of children. • Never store lubricants in open or unlabeled containers. • Avoid skin contact with oily clothes. Change dirty clothing. • Never keep oily cloths in your pockets. • Dispose of oily shoes as hazardous waste. • Rinse oil that has splashed into your eyes with clean water and visit your doctor, if necessary. • Absorb spilled oil with suitable bonding agents and dispose of properly. • Never extinguish oil fires with water. Only use permissible and suitable extinguishing agents and wear breathing apparatus. Oily waste and waste oil have to be disposed of according to the legal regulations. Check with your local Hazardous Waste Management facility. Service HORSCH hopes you are completely satisfied with your machine and the HORSCH company itself.
