Reading the instruction manual and adhering to it should not appear to be inconvenient and superfluous as it is not enough to hear from others and to realise that a machine is good, to buy it and to believe that now everything should work by itself. The person con-cerned would not only harm himself but also make the mistake of blaming the machine for the reason of a possible failure instead of himself. In order to ensure good success one should go into the mind of a thing, make himself familiar with every part of the machine and to get acquainted with its handling. Only in this way would you be satisfied both with the machine as also with yourself. To achieve this is the purpose of this in-struction manual.

22 EK EK-S BAG0022.3 11.13

Transport of the machine

● When travelling on public roads observe your legal national traf-fic regulations.

● Always ensure sufficient steering and braking of the tractor.

Steering and braking of the tractor are influenced by mounted or trailed machines and front or rear ballast weights.

● If necessary, use ballasts weights.

The tractor front axle load must be at least 20 % of the tractor's net weight in order to ensure a sufficient steering.

● Attach the front or rear ballast weights in the appropriate manner on the fixing points provided.

● Observe the max. payload of the mounted / trailed machine and the permissible axle and support loads of the tractor.

● The tractor must provide the prescribed brake lag for the laden combination (tractor plus mounted / trailed machine).

● Before starting to travel on public roads, check function of brakes.

● When driving round bends note the width of the mounted or trailed machine and the gyrating mass of the machine.

● Before starting to travel on public roads ensure the sufficient lateral locking of the tractor lower link arms when the machine is fixed to the three point hydraulics or the lower link arms of the tractor.

● Before starting to travel get all swivelling machine parts into transport position.

● Before starting to travel secure all swivelling machine parts in transport position against dangerous movement from their posi-tion. For this use the intended transport securing devices.

● Before starting to travel secure the lever of the three point hy-draulics against unintended lifting or lowering of the mounted or trailed machine.

● Before any transport travel ensure that the required transport device is correctly fitted on the machine, as, e.g. traffic lights, warning devices, guards.

● Adapt your travelling speed to the prevailing conditions.

● Choose a lower gear when driving down hill.

● As a matter of principle switch off the single wheel braking (lock the pedal) before starting any transport travel.


EK EK-S 23

2.16.2 Hydraulic system

● The hydraulic system is under high pressure!

● Connect hydraulic hoses to the hydraulic rams and motors ac-cording to the advice in the instructions!

● When fitting the hydraulic hoses to the tractor hydraulic sockets always ensure that the hydraulic system on the tractor as well as on the implement is without pressure!

It is prohibited to block control valves on the tractor in case hy-draulic functions are actuated directly via these control valves, e.g. folding-, swivel- and shifting procedures. Ensure that the hy-draulic function automatically stops when you let go the relevant control valve.

● Before starting to do repair work to the hydraulic system,

○ lower machine to the ground,

○ release the pressure and

○ stop tractor engine.

● All hydraulic hoses must be checked for their operational safety by a skilled person at least once a year. In case of damage or ageing replace the hydraulic hoses. Only use original

hydraulic hoses.

● The period of use of any hose circuit should not exceed six years including a possible storing period of two years maximum. Also when stored and used properly hoses and hose circuits do age. Therefore their longevity and period of use is limited. Deviations from the above may be accepted by the Health- and Safety Au-thorities depending on the experience they have had and the danger potential. For hoses and hose circuits made of thermo-plasts other guide lines may prevail.

● Danger of infection! Liquids leaking under high pressure (hydrau-lic oil) can penetrate the skin and cause severe injury! When in-jured see a doctor immediately!

● When searching for leaks appropriate aids should be used be-cause of the danger of injury!

When working on the electric system always disconnect the bat-tery (negative pole).

Use prescribed fuses only. When using too strong fuses the electric circuit may be damaged - danger of fire.

Make sure the polarity is correctly fitted. First connect positive pole and then negative pole. - When disconnecting vice versa.

Always provide plus pole with supplied cover. At accidental earth contact there is danger of explosion!

Danger of explosion! Avoid sparks and open fire near the bat-tery!

The function of the implements' electronic components and parts may be affected by the electro magnetic transmittance of other devices. Such affects may endanger third parties when the fol-lowing safety advice has not been adhered to:

○ When retrofitting electric and electronic devices and/or components to the implement with a connection to the trac-tor's on-board electric circuit, the onus is on the user to en-sure that the installation will not cause any disturbance to either the tractor's electronics or other components.

○ Special attention must be paid that the retrofitted electric and electronic parts correspond to the EMV-guideline 89/336/EC in the relevant valid edition and that they bear the CE-mark.


EK EK-S 25 BAG0022.3 11.13

When the universal joint shaft is engaged, no persons are al-lowed

○ to stand within the area of the spinning universal joint shaft or the PTO shaft

○ to stand within the danger zone of the machine.

Never switch on the tractor PTO while the engine is stopped!

Always stop PTO when it is not needed or when the shaft is in an adverse position!

Attention! Danger of injury! After switching off the PTO the mounted implement may continue to run by its dynamic masses!

During this period never come too close to the implement. Begin work on the implement only after it has come to a full standstill!

Clean and grease the universal joint shaft and the PTO driven implement only after

○ the PTO shaft have been stopped,

○ engine have been stopped,

○ ignition key pulled out.

Deposit removed PTO shaft on the provided carrier!

When travelling in curves mind the permissible angling and slid-ing length!

When using the ground-related PTO take note that the PTO speed is related to the forward speed and that the sense of rota-tion reverses when backing up!

7 Coupling and uncoupling the machine

Danger!

Only couple and transport the machine with a tractor which has been designed for this task and fulfils the power re-quirements.

When fitting the machine to the tractor three point linkage the mounting categories on the tractor and the implement must coincide.

When coupling tractor and implement, only use the pre-scribed tools.

Standing of persons between the machine to be coupled and the tractor is prohibited whilst the tractor is backing up.

Any assistants may only stay at the side of the vehicle and help to direct it. Only when the vehicles have come to a full standstill they are allowed to step between them.

When coupling and uncoupling implements, observe the chapter "Safety advice for the operator", page 23.

Danger!

Be particularly careful when coupling the machine to the tractor or uncoupling it from the tractor!

Before uncoupling secure the machine by using 2 chocks!

Observe the max. support load of the tractor!

Ensure that the lower link arms of the tractor three point hydraulic are equipped with stabilising rods or chains. To avoid sideways swing of the machine stabilise the lower link arms of the tractor!

Hint!

The EK / EK-S is designed for the rear three point mounting category I.

Hint!

At tractors with an off centre universal joint shaft mount the spreader staggered to the side.

7.1 Hitching up

8.2 Setting the spread rate

The shutter position depends on:

The kind of spreading material (sand, salt or mixture) as well as itscharacteristics (granular, coarse/fine, moist, dry).

The desired spreading width [m].

The desired operational speed [km/h].

The desired spread rate [g/m²].

Moving the shutter slide to the next higher figure on the scalemeans:

Bigger opening diameter of the outlet opening.

Increased spread rate.

The spread rate setting is carried according to experience values or the indications given in the setting chart.

Hint!

As the spreading properties of the spreading materials are sub-ject to variation (e.g. moist or dry) we recommend that you de-termine the desired shutter position for the desired spread rate by carrying out a spread rate check.

Procedure of spread rate setting:

1. Release the setting lever (Fig. 23/1).

2. Set the shutter stop (Fig. 23/2) in such a way that the reading edge (Fig. 23/3) is in alignment with the desired value on the scale.

3. Firmly retighten the setting lever.

8.2.1 EK-S: Spread rate check

A spread rate check is recommended with any change of spread-ing material or when it changed its condition.

If the operational speed of the towing vehicle is known exactly a sta-tionary spread rate is possible.

1. How to determine the actual speed of operation

1.1 Carefully measure a distance of 100 m. Mark the beginning and end of the test distance.

1.2 Drive test distance from beginning to end mark with the in-tended, constant operational speed. Determine the required time with the aid of a stopwatch.

e.g. 100m in 120 sec.

Determination of operational speed [km/h].

360 Operational speed [km/h]

= Timed seconds for 100m

Example: 100 m in 120 sec.

360

120 sec = 3 km/h

2. How to determine the necessary required spread rate per minute [g/min] for the desired spread rate:

So [g/min] = St [g/m²] x Fl [m²/min]

So: necessary required spread rate

St: desired spread rate

Fl: Acreage output

Fl [m²/min] = W [m/min] x A [m]

Fl: Acreage output

W: Travelled distance

A: Working width

F [m/h] W [m/min] =

60

W: Travelled distance

F: Operational speed

BAG0022.3 11.13

Settings

EK EK-S 49

Example:

Operational speed F: 3 km/h

Working width A: 4m

Desired spread rate St: 50 g/m²

Necessary required spread rate So:? [g/min]

3000 [m/h] W =

60 = 50 m/min

F = 50 m/min x 4m = 200 m²/min

So = 50 g/m² x 200 m²/min

So = 10000 g/min

The necessary required spread rate is 10 kg/min.

3. Procedure of spread rate check

3.1 Place a plastic wrap underneath the spreader.

3.2 Lower the spreader to its lowest position.

3.3 Move the spread width reducer in its lowest position.

3.4 Start the towing vehicle's engine. With the manual gas lever constantly set the engine's rev. speed considering the uni-versal joint shaft rev. speed (e.g. 540 min-1).

3.5 Switch on the universal joint shaft or the hydraulic drive.

3.6 Open the shutter for precisely 1 minute in the desired shut-ter slide position.

3.7 To determine the actually set spread rate [g/m²] weigh the collected amount of spreading material and compare with the determined required spread rate..

Danger!

During the spread rate check be aware of rotating implement parts and spreading material particles being thrown around.

Hint!

If the actual and the desired spread rate do not coincide, re-adjust the shutter position accordingly. If necessary repeat the spread rate check.

12.5 Hydraulic system

Danger!

Danger!

Only an authorised workshop is allowed to carry out repair work on the hydraulic system.

The hydraulic system is under high pressure.

When searching for leaks, appropriate aids should be used.

Before starting and work on the hydraulic system, relief the system from pressure.

Under high pressure any fluids (such as hydraulic oil) may penetrate the skin and cause serious injury. Immediately call for a doctor. There is danger of infection.

When connecting hydraulic hoses to the tractor hydraulic system ensure that the hydraulic system on the tractor and on the trailed implement is at zero pressure.

Dispose of old oil as prescribed. In case of problems con-tact your oil supplier.

Store hydraulic oil out of reach of children.

Hydraulic oil must not get into the earth or water.

When carrying out maintenance and repair work on the hy-draulic system, observe chapter "Safety advice for the op-erator", see on page 20.

Important!

Ensure the correct connection of the hydraulic hoses.

Check all hydraulic hoses and connections for damage and cleanliness in regular intervals.

All hydraulic hoses must be checked for their operational safety by a skilled person at least once a year.

Replace damaged and aged hydraulic hoses. Only use orig-inal hydraulic hoses.

The period of use of any hose circuit should not exceed sic years, including a possible storing period of two years max-imum. Also when stored and uses properly hoses and hose circuits do age. Therefore their longevity and period of use is limited. Deviations from the above may be accepted de-pending on the experience and the danger potential. For hoses and hose circuits made from thermoplasts other guide lines may prevail.

BAG0022.3 11.13

Identification of hydraulic hoses

The identification provides the following in-formation:

Fig. 28/...

(1) Identification of the marker (A1HF)

(2) Date of production of the hydraulic hose circuit (02 04 = February, 2004)

(3) Max. permissible operating pressure (210 BAR). Fig. 28

Maintenance intervals

Workshop job:

After the first 10 operating hours

every 50 operating hours

1. Check all components of the hydraulic system for leaks.

2. If necessary retighten the joints..

Prior to any putting to operation

1. Check the hydraulic hose circuits for obvious defects.

2. Remedy any rubbing points on hydraulic hoses and tubes.

3. Exchange worn or defective hydraulic hoses immediately.

Inspection criterion for hydraulic hose circuits

Important!

Please adhere to the following inspection criterion. This serves your own safety!

Replace the hydraulic hoses if the following inspection criterion are noticed:

Defects from the casing to the inner lining (e.g. rubbing points, cuts, tears).

Check whether the hose casing is brittle (tears in the hose mate-rial).

Check hose for deformation which deviate from the common shape of the hose or which do not correspond to the hose circuit. This applies both to the pressure free and the pressurised condi-tion or when bending the hose (e.g. separation of layers, bub-bles, buckling, squeezing).

Leakages.

Damage or deformation of the hose fitting (tightness is affected), slight surface damage is no reason for a replacement..

Movement of the hose out of the fitting.

Corrosion on the fitting which affects function and strength.

Demands on the assembly not observed.

BAG0022.3 11.13


EK EK-S 59

The permissible period of use of 6 years is exceeded.

Decisive is the date of production of the hydraulic hose on the fitting plus 6 years. If the date of production on the fitting is "2004" the operational life will end in February, 2010. For this, please refer to "Identification of hydraulic hoses".

12.5.1 Mounting and dismounting hydraulic hoses

Hint!

As a matter of principle follow to the following advice when mounting and dismounting hydraulic hoses:

Only use original- hydraulic hoses!

Always ensure cleanliness.

As a matter of principle install the hydraulic hoses in such a way, that – in all operational conditions -

○ the hose is not under tension, except for its own weight

○ short hoses are not upset.

○ exterior mechanic affects on the hydraulic hoses are avoided.

the hoses are arranged and affixed properly to prevent the hoses from rubbing on components or against each other. If necessary secure the hydraulic hoses by using guard covers. Cover sharp edged components.

○ the permissible bending radius is observed.

When connecting a hydraulic hose with moving parts, en-sure that in the entire range of movement the hose length ensures that the smallest permissible bending radius is maintained and/or the hydraulic hose is not tensioned.

Affix the hydraulic hoses on the fixing points given. Avoid hose fixings where they would hinder the natural movement and length change of the hose.

It is forbidden to paint hydraulic hoses.
