Cam type cut-out clutch


The PTO shaft is factory fitted with a cam type cut-out
clutch. Check that cut-out clutch disengages during the
first periods of use:
- If the cam type cut-out clutch disengages too
frequently, the adjustment is too light. (See section:
Cam type cut-out clutch adjustment).
- If the cam type cut-out clutch does not disengage,the
adjustment is too heavy. (See section: Cam type cut-
out clutch adjustment).

The cam type cut-out clutch is based on the principle of


disengaging cams that release when an overload
occurs. When the cut-out clutch releases, it cuts-out
torque transmission to the machine.
When the cam type cut-out clutch releases:
- Disengage tractor PTO.
- Lift the machine off the ground.
- Engage the tractor PTO.
The cam type cut-out clutch re-engages
automatically.

If a foreign object gets caught in the machine:


Before carrying out any maintenance or repairs on the machine, switch off the tractor
engine, remove ignition key, wait until all moving parts have come to a standstill and
apply park brake.
Remove foreign body.

$INSTRUCTIONS FOR WORK

1. Putting the machine into work


position

Before placing the machine in working


position:
- Check that nobody is within the machine
pivoting area.
- If there is someone, make sure the
person moves away.

From the transport position:


Lower machine until blades are at 100 - 150 mm (3.9’’ -
5.9’’) from the ground.

The machine is in working position.

2. Adjustments in working position

Working depth

2

Adjust both sides to the same setting.

46
Instructions for work
Power harrow
HR3003D

3. Machine use

Before leaving the tractor or before


adjusting, maintaining or repairing the
machine, disengage the PTO drive, turn off
the engine, remove ignition key and wait until
all moving parts have come to a complete
stop and apply park brake.

- Lower machine until blades are at 100 - 150 mm (3.9’’


- 5.9’’) from the ground.
- Engage tractor PTO drive before working with the
machine.

Engaging the machine in the ground before engaging the tractor PTO can lead to excessive
power requirement and trigger the torque limiter.

- Lower the machine progressively while on the move.


- Do not disengage PTO and do not stop tractor before
having lifted the machine from the ground.

Only work in straight lines. Lift the machine to turn.

Use of the power harrow entails limits which must be respected in all situations and that are
often tied in with:
- Weather conditions: Avoid working during and immediately after rain, wait until the ground
to be worked is completely drained.
- Soil types: Smooth clods indicate too malleable or too humid soil to be worked in; Wait until
ground is completely drained. Soil concistency is ideal when clods crumble without
sticking.
- Tractor power: Adapt working depth, speed and rotor speed to power available and work to
be done. Never exceed the maximum allowable DIN engine power: 184 kW (250 hp).
- The nature of the work: the power harrow is an excellent implement for secondary tillage
and seedbed preparation after conventional ploughing, chisel ploughing or soil loosening.
It is far less efficient for primary tillage work especially on hard and dry ground.

The clod size depends on:


- The rotor speed.
- The forward speed.
- The working depth.
- the use of levelling bars (Optional equipment).
- The Crumbler roller being fitted or not with removable bars.
Example: large clods result from a low rotor speed and a high forward speed.
