KE/KG03 DB2012 08.02
1.6 Declined use of the implement
The AMAZONE-rotary harrows KE and AMAZONE-rotary cultivators KG have exclusively been designed for the usual soil tillage operation in agriculture.
Any use beyond the one stipulated above is no longer considered as designed use. The manufacturer does not accept any responsibility for damage resulting from this; therefore, the operator himself carries the full risk.
Under “designed use” also the adhering to the manu-facturer’s prescribed operation maintenance and repair conditions as well as the exclusive use of original AMAZONE-spare parts is to be understood.
a Any damage resulting from arbitrary changes on the implement rule out the responsibility of the manufacturer.
F
Therefore, check before any use and also during operation your implement for the proper function.
Claims regarding damage not having occurred on the AMAZONE soil tillage implement would be rejected. Modifications made to the soil tillage implement by the owner/user may result in damage and therefore the manufacturer does not accept liability for such damage.

1.14 Way of function of the rotary cultivator
fig025
The "On Grip" tines break and crumble the soil clods. The "On Grip" tines pull the rotary cultivator into work. This way the rotary cultivator, resting on the roller, maintains a constant working depth irrespective of whether the soil before has been ploughed, cultivated or is un-tilled. The good packing effect of soil tillage implement and roller results from three factors:
- Weight of the roller (Fig. 1.7/1).
- Weight of the soil tillage implement (Fig. 1.7/2).
- the downwards force (Fig. 1.7/3), that is created by the "On Grip" tines which try to pull them-selves into the soil.
Fig. 1.7

13
KE/KG03 DB2012 08.02
kge0003
"On Grip" tines (rotary cultivator) have a de-mixing effect. Coarse soil particles are thrown further than fine particles and thus the fine soil remains in the lower level of the worked soil profile, whereas the coarser clods remain on the surface and protect the seed bed from capping (see Fig. 1.8).
Fig. 1.8
fig027
The soil is thrown in front of the rotary cultivator (Fig. 1.9/1) helping to level all undulations. Straw and other organic matter is mulched near to the surface. The tines made from special hardened steel provide a smooth run of the soil tillage implement. The long tines allow an excellent trash passage. The round rotor heads prevent stones being trapped in between. The tines are slid into sockets (Fig. 1.9/2) and the sprung fixing allows the tines to give way to stones or other obstacles.

2.6.5 General safety and accident preventive advice for PTO shaft drive
1. Only use PTO shafts recommended by the manu-facturer.
2. Guard tubes and cones of the PTO shaft as well as a tractor- and implement PTO guard must be fitted and kept in the correct place.
3. Note the prescribed PTO-shaft tube guards in transport- and operating position.
4. Mounting and dismounting PTO shaft only with disengaged PTO shaft, stopped motor and re-moved ignition key.
5. Always care for correct fitting and securing of the PTO shaft.
6. Prevent PTO guard from spinning by fixing the provided chains..
7. Before engaging the PTO shaft ensure that the chosen PTO-speed of the tractor corresponds to the allowable implement input speed..
8. When using the ground speed related PTO shaft note that the speed is related to the forward speed and that the sense of rotation reverses when backing up.
9. Before switching on the PTO shaft nobody is allowed to stay in the area of the spinning PTO-shaft.
10. Never switch on the PTO shaft while the engine is stopped!
11. When operating with the PTO shaft nobody is allowed to stay in the area of the spinning PTO- or universal joint shaft.
12. Always switch off PTO shaft when it is in an adverse position or not needed.
13. Attention! After switching off the PTO shaft the mounted implement may still continue to run by its dynamic masses! During this period never come too close to the implement. Begin work only after the implement has come to a full standstill.
14. Clean and grease the universal joint shaft and the PTO-driven implement only after the PTO shaft and engine have been stopped and the ignition key removed.
15. Deposit removed PTO shaft on the provided carrier.
16. After removal of the PTO shaft replace protective cap over the tractor’s PTO! Never remove the PTO shaft cap from machine and tractor.
17. Remedy of damage is to be undertaken before starting to operate with the implement.
2.6.6 General safety and accident preventive advice for main-tenance, repair and cleaning
1. Repair-, maintenance- and cleaning operations as well as the remedy of function faults should principally be conducted with drive and engine stopped and disconnected hydraulic joints. Re-move ignition key.
2. Check nuts and bolts regularly for tightness and retighten if necessary!
3. When doing maintenance work on the lifted implement make sure that it is secured by proper supports.
4. When changing operating tools with cutting edges use appropriate tools and wear gloves.
5. Dispose of oil, grease and filters in the appropri-ate manner.
6. Before doing any repair work on the electric disconnect power supply.
7. Before conducting electric welding operations on tractor or on the mounted implement, remove ca-ble from generator and battery.
8. Any spare parts fitted must, in minimum meet with the implement manufacturers’ fixed technical standards. This is, for example, en-sured by using original AMAZONE spare parts.
23
KE/KG03 DB2012 08.02
2.6.7 General safety and accident preven-tive advice when making use of a hydraulic system
1. The hydraulic system is under high pressure.
2. When connecting hydraulic rams and engines the prescribed connection of the hydraulic hoses has to be noted.
3. When connecting the hydraulic hoses to the tractor’s hydraulic take care that the hydraulic is free of pressure as well on the tractor- as on the implement side!
4. At hydraulic function connections between tractor and implement, the sockets and plugs should be colour coded in order to avoid a contrary function (lifting instead of lowering or vice versa). Danger of accident.
5. Regularly check hydraulic hoses and exchange in case of damages or ageing. The replacement hoses have to correspond to the technical de-mands of the implement manufacturer!
6. When searching for leaks appropriate aids should be used due to danger of injury!
7. Liquids (hydraulic oil) penetrating under high pressure may penetrate the skin and cause se-vere injuries.
In case of injuries immediately see a doctor. Danger of infection!
8. Before starting to do any repair work on the hydraulic system, lower implement, relieve sys-tem from pressure and switch off the engine!
9. All hydraulic hoses must be checked for their operational safety by a skilled person before the first operation of the machine and then at least once a year. In case of damage or ageing replace the hydraulic hoses! The replacement hoses must correspond to the technical demands of the im-plement manufacturer.
10. The period of use of any hose circuit should not exceed six years including a possible storing pe-riod of two years in maximum. Also when stored and used properly, hoses and hose circuits age. Therefore, their longevity and period of us is lim-ited. Deviations from the above may be accepted depending on the experience made and the dan-ger potential. For hoses and hose circuits made of thermoplasts other guide lines may prevail.

KE/KG03 DB2012 08.02
3.1 Initial assembly
Please find more detailed descriptions for the follow-ing procedures at the end of this operator's manual. Please take the relevant pages from the list of con-tents.
• Coupling the soil tillage implement onto the tractor
• Mounting PTO shaft tractor – soil tillage im-plement
• Attaching the roller and adjusting the working depth of the soil tillage implement
• Mounting and adjusting the swivel side guide plates
• Mouning and astjusting coupling parts for mounted seed drills
• Mounting and adjusting AMAZONE »Lift-pack« system
• Mounting the levelling bar
3.2 Settings in the field
• Set the rev. speed of the tines. Please find details regarding rev. speeds of tines and their adaptation to the ground conditions in the relevant chapter.
• Checking and if necessary adjustment of the working depth of the soil tillage implement.
• Checking the working depth and the spring tensioning of the swivel side guide plates, ad-just if necessary.
• Getting the levelling bar in operational posi-tion
• Getting tractor wheel mark eradicators in op-erational position.
3.3 Beginning operation
Immediately before using the rotary cultivator in the field, it is to be lowered using the tractor‘s hydraulic system until the rotary cultivator’s tines are just over the soil but do not touch it. Drive the tractor’s PTO shaft with the previously set speed. While the tractor commences driving, lower the rotary entirely.
I For tractors with hydraulically or pneu-matically switchable PTO shafts, the PTO shaft must only be engaged in neutral gear to prevent damaging the universal joint shaft.
If the packer roller turns with difficulty during the first use due to, e. g. sticking paint, do not immediately adjust the scraper. Instead, simply pull the roller over firm ground (untilled soil), until the roller turns easily.
29
KE/KG03 DB2012 08.02
3.4 During operation
F
When turning of lifting the rotary cultiva-tor on headlands, it is to be lifted so far that the tines of the rotary cultivator and the packer roller are just above the soil. If the universal joint shaft is only slightly angled, the universal joint shaft can continue to run. If the rotary cultivator runs noisily when it is raised, the trac-tor’s PTO shaft is to be switched off.
F
Note the minimum length of the tines (see para. 14.4). When working at great depth replace the tines before they reach the minimum length. Worn tines can regain their original length with the aid of weld-on tips.
I As the wear of the tines increases, the setting of the rotary cultivator's working depth should be corrected (see para. 6.3) and the side plates should be adapted to the new working depth.
F
The tines or the rotors can come to a standstill in stony soil or when a firm obstacle is hit. To prevent gear damage the gearbox or the PTO shaft – depend-ing on execution – is equipped with an overload clutch. If the rotors come to a standstill observe para 5.5.
3.5 After the first 10 operating hours
F
All bolt connections are to be checked and, if necessary, re-tightened after the first 10 operating hours.
3.6 After having finished work
Before uncoupling the rotary cultivator off the tractor
- Disengage the PTO shaft according to para. 5.5.1.

4. Rear mounting to the tractor
Mount the soil tillage implement to the rear three point linkage of the tractor in the usual manner.
Attach lower and upper link arms of the tractor according to figure (Fig. 4.1). Secure the top- and lower link pins using lynch pins.
Set the top link (Fig. 4.1/1) so that the soil tillage implement stands horizontally in the working position and the top link runs more or less parallel to the lower link (Fig. 4.1/2) or drops towards the tractor. When the implement is raised using the tractor's hydraulics it tilts forward and the roller and seed drill have adequate ground clearance.
a When mounting the soil tillage imple-ment to the tractor observe the safety advice according to para. 2.6.2.

Note regarding mounting to the lower links
The distance between the tractor’s pto shaft and the lower hitching points is different for each tractor type. Tractors with a smaller distance require a shorter PTO shaft than those with a greater distance. A very short PTO shaft is angled very heavily when the rotary cultivator is lifted. This makes turning at the headland impossible while the PTO shaft is rotating. There-fore, the lower hitching plates (Fig. 5.2 and Fig. 5.3) have 3 holes which can be used to set the ideal distance.
A very short PTO shaft is angled very heavily when the soil tillage implement is lifted. This makes turning at the headlands impossible while the PTO shaft is rotating. Therefore the lower hitching plates (Fig. 4.2 or Fig. 4.3) are provided with three holes which can be used to set the ideal distance.
F
Note regarding mounting to the top link
If the tractor cannot lift the combination of soil tillage implement, roller and seed drill attach the top link as low as possi-ble to the soil tillage implement and as high as possible to the tractor. This prevents the combination from tilting forward too much when lifting; it may even tilt slightly backwards. Less lifting power is required in this case.
Check whether the lifting height is sufficient to ensure an appropriate clearance between the soil tillage im-plement, roller, seed drill and the ground.

a When re-inserting hold the depth set-ting pins (Fig. 6.8/1) in such a way that your hand never gets between the pin and the mounting arm.
16i081
The depth setting pins have an eccentric square head, the sides of which are at different distances to the centre of the pins. These sides are marked with the figures "1 - 2 - 3 - 4“ (see Fig. 6.8). Ensure that the depth setting pins (Fig. 6.8/1) rest on all mount-ing arms (Fig. 6.8/2) with equal sides or with equal marking (figure).
Fig. 6.8

The higher the depth-setting pins are inserted into the adjustment blocks and the higher the numbers on the sides resting against the mounting arms, the deeper the working depth will be.
The different distances due to the square head of the depth-setting pin allow “fine tuning” of the depth setting of the soil tillage implement, even between the individual square holes in the adjustment block.
I Always secure the depth setting pins using lynch pins (Fig. 7.8/4) after every adjustment.
I If the working depth is adjusted, check whether the side plates have to be adapted to the new working depth.

7.1 Tine rotor speed
To achieve the desired fineness of the seed bed, the tine rotor speed must be adapted to different soil conditions. The tine rotor speed can be adjusted. An increase in the tine rotor speed causes the power requirements and the tine wear to rise disproportion-ally. Selecting the correct tine speed reduces the cost of ear and increases efficiency.
F
Never select a tine speed that is higher than necessary.
7.2 Tractor PTO shaft speed
The tractor’s PTO shaft speed should be set to 1000 R.P.M.. A lower speed of the PTO shaft causes a higher torque, which may lead to a quicker wear of the overload clutch. The tractor’s PTO shaft speed should only be set to 540 R.P.M. when light or loosened soil is to be worked at shallow depths.
F
Set the tractor PTO shaft speed to 1000 R.P.M.

7.3 Pto shaft through drive
The PTO through drive allows to drive a PTO driven seed drill. The exchange gear main gearbox (Fig. 7.4) can easily be retrofitted with a PTO shaft through drive (see para. 7.4.4).
a Fasten the separately provided PTO shaft covers (Fig. 7.4/1) on the universal joint outlet of the exchange gear main gearbox before you fasten the PTO shaft on the gearbox universal joint shaft.

Fig. 7.4
7.3.1 Advice for PTO driven mounted seed drills
PTO driven AMAZONE mounted seed drills can be attached to the soil tillage implement using the AMAZONE-System “Liftpack”. When turning at the headlands, the soil tillage implement and the PTO driven seed drill can continue to run as the soil tillage implement must be raised only slightly from the ground and the "Liftpack" system raises the seed drill sufficiently. Both PTO shafts are only slightly angled (provided a correct handling). Switching off the PTO shaft and stopping at the headlands are avoided. No drop of pressure on the PTO driven seed drill. Protect the PTO shaft of the seed drill from damage by using the lifting height limiter (spe-cial option) of the lifting frame. Set the PTO shaft in such a way that it can run freely even in raised position.

7.4 Exchange gear main gearbox (WHG – all types)
16i002-2
To achieve the desired fineness of the seed bed on varying soils the tine speed can be adapted to the soil and the forward speed by using the exchange gear main gearbox (Fig. 7.5). The tine speed can be adjusted by exchanging two gear wheels in the gearbox. Exchanging the gear wheels is described in para. 7.4.2.
Fig. 7.5

KE/KG03 DB2012 08.02
7.4.1 Speed table for exchange gear main gearbox WHG-ECO und WHG with integrated ratchet clutch
Refer to the speed table (Fig. 7.6) for the tine rotor speed.
The tine rotor speed depends on the gear set in-stalled in the gearbox and the speed of the tractor’s pto shaft.
Please find the adjustable tractor universal joint shaft speeds 540 R.P.M., 750 R.P.M., and 1000 R.P.M. in the speed table under the tractor symbol (Fig. 7.6/3).
F
We recommend to set the tractor uni-versal joint shaft speed to R.P.M.
Setting the crossed out tine speeds, e.g. 637 R.P.M., in the speed table (Fig. 7.6), is not allowable as the speed is too high.
Fig. 7.6
The figures below the tractor pto shaft speeds indi-cate the tine rotor speeds that can be selected. Die The tine rotor speeds can be set by inserting the gears according to the list below the gearbox sym-bol.
Example:
One gear wheel with 26 teeth is mounted on the drive shaft (Fig. 7.6/1),
One gear wheel with 39 teeth is mounted on the auxiliary shaft (Fig. 7.6/2). The rotors rotate
- at a tractor universal joint shaft speed of 1000 R.P.M. with 282 R.P.M.
- at a tractor universal joint shaft speed of 750 R.P.M. with 212 R.P.M.
- at a tractor universal joint shaft speed of 540 R.P.M. with 152 R.P.M.
The tine speeds and the two gear wheels with 26 and 39 teeth given in our example are shaded in the speed table. These gear wheels are installed in the gearbox as standard.
Other tine rotor speeds can be selected by removing the standard gear set and inserting another gear set (please refer to table).

7.4.2 Replacing the exchange gear wheels exchange gear main gearbox
To replace the exchange gears in the exchange gear main gearbox (Fig. 7.7) lift the soil tillage im-plement, e.g. with the tractor hydraulics until the soil tillage implement tilts approx. 30° to the front. The gearbox oil in the exchange gear main gearbox will not run out even if the gearbox lid is open.
a Ensure that the implement is supported properly!
16i075 It is possible to reduce the oil level by draining the oil
using the oil drain plug (Fig. 7.7/1). After the gear wheel change the collected oil can be poured back into the gearbox through the dipstick opening (Fig. 7.9/1) , provided the oil is free from foreign particles.
Fig. 7.7
a Remove the gearbox lid (Fig. 7.7/2) only when the tractor's universal joint shaft is dieengaged, the engine is switched off and the ignition key has been removed.
Wait until the rotors have come to a complete standstill!
Do not touch the hot gearbox or gear parts and gears with your bare hands. Use gloves.
Avoid contact with the hot gear oil!
Use suitable tools!
Remove the gearbox lid (Fig. 7.7/2) after the hex. bolts (Fig. 7.7/3) have been removed.

8. Side guide plates
16t113
The side plates (Fig. 8.1/1) ensure that the tilled soil cannot escape laterally or from between the soil tillage implement and the packer roller. The flow of soil is guided towards the rear so that it falls directly under the roller.
Rotary harrows KE are as standard equipped with spring side guide plates (Fig. 8.1/1).
Fig. 8.1
Rotary cultivators KG are equipped with hinged side guide plates (Fig. 8.2/1). Of course also rotary harrows can be equipped with hinged side guide plates.
The working depth of the side plates and the spring tension (only on machines with hinged side plates) must be adapted to the soil conditions so that the limitation of the soil flow from these plates becomes effective.
a Make settings on the side plates only when the PTO shaft is disengaged, the engine is switched off and the ignition key has been removed.

16i019
When the seed bed is prepared after ploughing bolt on the side plates (Fig. 8.3/1) in such a way that they move through the soil at a maximum depth of 1 to 2 cm.
This setting can also be used for incorporating straw with the rotary cultivator. If, under unfavourable conditions, the side plates push the straw together, the side plates should be set at an angle, e.g. the front higher than the back or all the way up.

The hinged side plates can move upwards to avoid obstacles. The side plate's own mass and a strong tensioning spring (Fig. 8.5/1) return the side plate to its working position. The tensioning spring has been set at the factory for the use on light to medium soils. The spring tension must be increased on heavy soils and decreased for incorporating straw.
The spring tension can be adjusted using the ten-sioning bolt (Fig. 8.4/4). Before every adjustment, slacken the counter nut (Fig. 8.4/5) and retighten firmly when finished.
Fig. 8.5
8.4 Soil guide plates and side plate extension for the side guide plate
24i040
Fig. 8.6
To prevent the tilled soil from escaping laterally the side guide plates can be equipped with soil guide plates (Fig. 8.6/1) and/or side plate extensions (Fig. 8.6/2). When the implement is equipped with a levelling rod the fitting of soil guide plates is not

9.1.1 Operation without roller
24t188
Usually the soil tillage implement should only be operated in combination with a roller. It, due to wet soil conditions, the use of the roller behind the soil tillage implement does not seem to be sensible the roller can be removed if the soil tillage implement is equipped with the "adjustable coupling parts" and an AMAZONE mounted seed drill. The soil tillage implement will then be supported by the seed drill.
After the roller has been removed, the working depth of the soil tillage implement is set as described in para. 6.3. Insert both depth setting pins (Fig. 9.5/1) into the setting brackets of the coupling parts and secure.

10. AMAZONE-System ”Liftpack” (option)
24t152
AMAZONE-hitched seed drills can be attached to the soil tillage implement using the “adjustable coupling parts” or the AMAZONE-System “Liftpack”.
If the lifting power of the tractor is not sufficient to raise the combination of soil tillage implement, roller and mounted seed drill using the "adjustable cou-pling parts", the lifting power requirement can be considerably reduced by using the AMAZONE "Liftpack" system (Fig. 10.1).
Fig. 10.1
The seed drill is lifted to above the roller (Fig. 10.2) for transporting and when turning at the end of the field. The lifting frame is operated using a single control spool valve in the tractor cab.
a Risk of injury on movable parts when raising the lifting frame!
Do not operate the hydraulic lifting frame if there are persons in its imme-diate vicinity!
Staying under the raised combination if prohibited!
24t151
Fig. 10.2
F
It is advisable to connect the hydraulic rams of the lifting frame to the oil circu-lation system of the tractor’s lower link arms. For this purpose, the tractor must be fitted with an additional hydraulic coupling. The hydraulic coupling must be attached to one of the tractor’s hy-draulic hoses which leads to the lifting rams of the tractor’s lower link arms.
If the lever normally used to raise the tractor’s lower link arms is now actuated from the operator’s seat, the oil first flows into the lifting rams of the lifting frame which lifts the seed drill over the culti packer roller. The tractor’s lower link arms only move and raise the entire combination from the ground with a now reduced lifting power requirement when the lifting rams of the lifting frame have filled with oil and the seed drill has been raised to above the culti

KE/KG03 DB2012 08.02
packer roller.
The seed drill coulters are now so far from the ground that the machine can be turned without the coulters coming into contact with the ground. For this reason, the soil tillage implement must be raised only slightly until the tines of the rotary cultivator and the roller are slightly above the ground level (also see para. 10.8.2 – restricting the lifting height of the tractors' lower link arms). In this position the univer-sal joint shaft of most tractors is angled only slightly so that it is possible to turn without switching off the PTO shaft.
After the implement has been turned, the entire combination first lowers and then the soil tillage implement begins working. As the tractor begins to advance, the seed drill begins sowing at the point where the soil tillage implement began to work. This results in narrower headlands.
The AMAZONE “Liftpack” system is available in two executions, e.g. with the A-S "Liftpack 2“ and A-S "Liftpack 3".
I Do not exceed the permissible trailer load of the lifting frame.
10.1 A-S "Liftpack 2"
Do not exceed the max. trailer load of 1400kg with the A-S "Liftpack 2".
Only use A-S "Liftpack 2" in combination with ond of the following rollers:

- - Tooth packer roller PW500 and
- - Wedge ring roller KW450.
10.2 A-S "Liftpack 3"
The A-S "Liftpack 3" is suited for trailer loads from 1400kg.
The A-S "Liftpack 3" can be used in combination with all AMAZONE rollers, e.g. also with
- Tooth packer roller PW600 and
- Wedge ring roller KW580.

10.8 Restricting the lifting height of the precision seeder Airplanter ED
24t155
If the soil tillage implement is used in combination with a pto-shaft-driven seed drill, e. g. with a preci-sion seeder AIRPLANTER, it is advisable to limit the lifting height of the lifting frame so that the pto shaft between the soil tillage implement and the AIR-PLANTER can continue to run on raised combina-tion without being damaged, e. g. when turning at the headlands.
Since the pto-shaft continues to run while turning at the headlands, the precision seeder continues to function. This means that the pto shaft no longer has to be switched off; thus there is no pressure drop in the precision seeder and seeds do not drop from the metering disc.
If a lifting height limiting valve (Fig. 10.9) is fitted, the lifting height of the lifting frame can be restricted (please also refer to para. 10.8.2, Restricting the lifting height of the tractor's lower link arms).
If the seed drill is raised by the lifting frame, the top link (Fig. 10.9/1) pushes against the pin (Fig. 10.9/2) and closes the valve that interrupts the flow of oil to the rams.
The lifting height of the seed drill can be adjusted. To set the lifting height, insert the pin (Fig. 10.9/2) into the required hole of the U-clip and secure in place using a lynch pin.
Fig. 10.9
a Do not touch the stop used to restrict the lifting height when the lifting frame is being raised. Do not activate the hydraulic lifting frame if there are per-sons in the immediate vicinity!
For road transport remove the pin (Fig. 10.9/2) so that the seed drill can be fully raised by the lifting frame.

KE/KG03 DB2012 08.02
10.8.1 Assembling the lifting height limiting unit
a The hydraulic system is under high pressure. Depressurise the hydraulic system of the lifting frame before com-mencing work.
Lower the lifting frame, depressurise the hydraulic system and pull the hydraulic hose leading to the hydraulic rams off the tractor plug.
As soon as the hydraulic system has been depres-surised, disconnect the hydraulic hose on the T-connector (Fig. 10.10/1).
Bolt the valve retainer (Fig. 10.10/2) on to the upper link point of the soil tillage implement.
Connect the hydraulic hoses with the valve (Fig. 10.10/3) and route the hydraulic hose to the tractor and connect it with a single acting control spool valve. Pressurise the lift frame by actuating the control spool valve in the tractor cab and check the hydraulic system for leakage. Eliminate any existing leaks.

Fig. 10.10
a Before activating the control valve in the tractor cabin make sure that no persons are in the immediate vicinity.
Risk of injury on moving parts.
10.8.2 Restricting the lifting height of the tractor’s lower link arms
If the soil tillage implement, e. g. in combination with a precision air seeder, is to continue running when turning at the headlands, the universal joint shaft between the tractor and the soil tillage implement may be angled only slightly. To prevent the angle of the universal joint shaft from becoming too big, the soil tillage implement should only be raised so far that its tines are just above the surface of the soil. Many tractors satisfy these requirements, so that the soil tillage implement can continue to run even when turning.
To ensure that the shallow lifting height of the soil tillage implement is maintained, it is vital to use the lifting height limiting unit on the operating lever for the tractor's lower link arms. Usually there is an adjustable lock on the scale next to the operating lever for the tractor's lower link arms. This lock must be set so that the soil tillage implement does not exceed the desired shallow lifting height.

11. Levelling rod (special option)
24t159
The levelling rod (Fig. 11.1/1) eliminates prevailing soil undulations, e.g. in front of the wedge ring roller. Remaining clods on extremely heavy soils are crumbled.
The levelling rod eliminates the danger that, e.g. the tooth packer roller comes to a standstill on extremely loose, dry and light soils. The levelling rod pre-compacts loose soil and the slip of the tooth packer roller is reduced.

13. Transport on public roads
16t061
When travelling on public roads the tractor, the soil tillage implement or the till and drill combination have to correspond to the national road transport and traffic rules. Both, the vehicle owner and the operator are responsible for adhering to the legal traffic rules.
The following advice must be observed:
1. The maximum permissible speed. 2. The maximum permissible axle loads and laden
weights. The tractor's front axle load must be at least 20 % of the tractor's unladen weight when trans-porting the machine or the machine combination. Otherwise the tractor's steerability is no longer ensured. If necessary weights must be attached to the front of the vehicle. The permissible load on the tractor's rear axle must not be exceeded. The maximum permissible laden weight of the tractor must also be observed.
Fig. 13.1
16t116
3. The permissible transport width. The transport width must not exceed 3 m.
4. Riding and transporting objects on the machine is forbidden.
5. The vehicle's driving, steering and braking behaviour is affected by attached machinery and ballast weights. It must be ensured that the vehi-cle steers and brakes correctly.
6. When driving into corners and/or bends watch out for the projection to the sides and the gyrat-ing mass of the implement.
7. Check and attach any equipment needed for transport such as lights, warning devices and protective guards: - Attach red/white striped warning plates to the
front (Fig. 13.1) and rear (Fig. 13.2) of towed/carried machinery. The distance be-tween the upper edge of the warning plates and the road must not exceed a.5 m. Do not attach the warning plates at a distance big-ger than 10 cm from the outer edge of the machine. Max. permissible spacing between upper edge of the warning plate and the road 1,5 m.
The tractor's lights must not be covered when transporting the soil tillage implement without a seed drill.
Fig. 13.2
- If the soil tillage implement is transported with a seed drill, legally approved detachable lights must be attached to the light carriers of the seed drill: the front lights must be at-tached high up in driving direction and the rear lights low down. Fig. 13.2 shows the permanently attached lights that remain mounted when the machine is used in the field. These lights also include two rear lamps and two reflectors that must be mounted on the exact harrow.
84
KE/KG03 DB2012 08.02
- The protruding tines of the exact harrow must be corered by the safety guard (Fig. 13.2) (special option).
- For transport, raise the seed drill only so far that the following distances are not ex-ceeded: upper edge of the rear lights to road: max. distance = 1550 mm, Rear reflectors to road: max. distance = 900 mm.
Further information regarding transport of the
seed drill can be found in the instruction manual for the seed drill.
8. Check all lights are functioning correctly before
taking the vehicle onto the road. 9. When driving on roads with raised machine the
operating lever must be locked to prevent lower-ing.
10. When the machine is in its transport position, always ensure that any excessive lateral move-ment of the tractor's three point link arm is pre-vented.
11. The release cables for quick-release couplings must hang loosely. These couplings must not be activated unintendedly when the machine is in its lowered position.
12. The lifting frame (if present) of the AMAZONE-"Liftpack" system is to be secured usig two pins according to para. 10.6
Please observe these hints. They help to prevent accident on public roads.

The PTO shaft W2400 is provided with the friction clutch K92/4 (Fig. 14.20/1). In case of a standstill of the rotors due to stones or other foreign particles being caught among the tines, the friction clutch protects the gearbox elements from damage. There-fore, the proper function of the friction clutch should always be ensured.
On heavy or stony soils the friction clutch engages from time to time. This causes a slightly increased temperature. The friction clutch becomes "luke-warm". If this slightly increased temperature will not be reached on stony soils, the clutch should be "aired". This is also required
- before the first operation
- after a prolonged standstill and
- if the operating temperature (slightly increased temperature when operating on stony soils) is not achieved.

14.6.2 Changing the torque of the friction clutch EK 96/4
a Adhere to the safety advice.
The friction clutch (Fig. 14.21/1) has been set in the factory that it engages at a torque of 1550 Nm. If this torque is exceeded the power transmission from the tractor universal joint shaft to the soil tillage imple-ment will be interrupted. The torque can be changed. If the friction clutch engages too often, e.g. on very stony soils, the torque can be increased.
If the friction clutch engages very rarely, the torque can be reduced.
Fig. 14.22
The torque is increased when the spring pressure is increased (Fig. 14.22/2). The spring pressure is set with the aid of a setting ring (Fig. 14.22/3). This setting ring (Fig. 14.22/4) This setting ring (Fig. 14.22/4) can be used in four position inside the housing, e.g. in the positions "A" until "D“ (see Fig. 14.22). Inside the housing the setting ring is either fixed with the front end "R1" or "R2" or outside in the housing openings "G1" or "G2" (see Table Fig. 14.24).
At a torque of 1550 Nm the setting ring is fitted as standard in position "C". The setting ring (Fig. 14.22/5) fixed in the housing openings G2.
If it is intended to increase the torque, e.g. from 1550 Nm to 1700 Nm, mount the setting ring as shown in position "D".

14.7 Exchange gear main gearbox with integrated ratchet clutch
Should the rotors come to a standstill due to stones or other foreign particles being caught among the tines, the overload clutch protects the gearbox elements from damage. In the exchange gear main gearbox (WHG) with integrated ratchet clutch the overload clutch is part of the gearbox.
Should the rotors come to a standstill due to the cam clutch being deactivated, stop and reduce the uni-versal joint shaft rev. speed of the tractor to approx. 300 R.P.M. until the ratchet clutch engages audibly.
Should the rotors do not begin to rotate, disengage the PTO shaft and remove the obstacle (only with stopped engine and removed ignition key). The ratchet clutch is then immediately ready for use.

14.8 Setting the torque
In the factory the atchet clutch inside the gearbox has been set to a torque of 2000 Nm which should not be changed.
It is recommended to operate the implement with 1000 R.P.M. tractor universal joint shaft speed.
Set the tractor universal joint shaft rev. speed to 1000 R.P.M. if you operate with 540 R.P.M. tractor universal joint shaft speed and the ratchet clutch engages too often.
Extraordinary operating conditions (e.g. many stones in the soil) may require to change the torque on the ratchet clutch even at 1000 R.P.M. tractor universal joint shaft speed.
If the overload clutch engages too often or not at all, the torque of the ratchet clutch may be changed.

14.9.2 Installation plan for the tine rotor shafts
Before removal, pay attention:
Before one or several rotor shafts (Fig. 14.42/1) are removed, turn them so that the rotor shafts are in the basic position.
Basic position
The basic position of the rotor shafts is illustrated in figure (Fig. 14.43). The view into the open spur gear housing towards the spur gears is shown. The arrow on the centre line shows the direction of travel.
In the basic position for all machines, the left outer most rotor shaft is in the "0° position". In the "0°-position" the tines stand crossways seen in direction of travel.
Before installation pay attention
Installing individual rotor shafts
Install individually removed rotor shafts into the spur gear housing according to figure (Fig. 14.45). Before installing these rotor shafts, bring the rotor shafts remaining in the spur gear housing into the basic position (see para. 14.9.2). Then install the removed rotor shafts according to figure (Fig. 14.43).
F
Only AMAZONE-rotary cultivators are equipped with spacing sleeves (Fig. 14.45/2).
Installing all rotor shafts:
If all the rotor shafts were removed from the spur gear trough for repair, installation begins according to figure (Fig. 14.45) with the first rotor shaft on the outer most left hand side. After installation bring this first rotor shaft into the basic position. In the basic position for all machines, the outer most left hand rotor shaft is in the "0°-position”. In the "0°-position" the tines stand crossways seen in direction of travel.
The next rotor shaft is installed perpendicular to the previously assembled rotor shaft plus 18° in the direction of the arrow (see the arrows above the rotor shafts in the illustration). Turning the rotor shaft by 18° is equal to shifting the outer tooth by two tooth posi-tions.
The previously installed rotor shaft must be turned counter to the direction of the arrow above the rotor shaft into the "0°-position".
The next rotor shaft is, as described above, again installed perpendicular to the previously assembled l.h. rotor shaft which is in the "0°-position" plus 18° in the direction of the arrow and then turned counter to the direction of the arrow into the "0°-position". Pro-ceed this way until the last rotor shaft.
After installing the rotor shafts, pay attention: When finished, check the installation using Fig. 14.43. Tighten the spur gear trough nuts on the rotor shafts according to para. 14.9.4.
