Operating Instructions
4.9 Work Instructions
Driving speed
The Flatliner 500 can be driven at speeds of
up to 15 kph.
This depends on the field conditions (type of
soil, surface trash, etc.).
Drive more slowly if the conditions are difficult.
Turning:
Before turning, the machine should
be eased out of work while driving.
Likewise, it should eased back into
work once the turn has been
completed.
Parking the Machine
In order to avoid damage as a result of
moisture, the machine should be parked, if
possible, indoors or under cover.
When manoeuvring the machine,
pay attention to your surroundings.
Ensure that nobody (children!) is in
the manoeuvring area.
• Park the machine on level and solid ground.
• With the machine raised set the parking
stand to the desired height.
• Lower the machine onto the parking stands
and the tines, ensuring that it is stable.
• Shut down the tractor.
• Unhitch the machine.
4.10 Checks
The working quality depends on the
adjustments and checks made prior to and
during work, as well as on regular servicing
and maintenance of the machine.
Before beginning work it is therefore
important to carry out any necessary servicing
and to lubricate the machine as required.
Checks prior to, and during work:
• Is the machine correctly hitched up and the
coupling device locked?
• Have the hydraulic lines (if applicable)been
connected according to the colour coding?
• Is the machine in a level operating position
and the working depth set correctly?
Working Elements
• Are the tines and other cultivation tools in a
serviceable condition?
• Are the scrapers still operable, so that the
rolls do not jam?
