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 concerned 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 instruction manual.

5.1.2 Technical data - tine bars

The advantage of the reciprocating power harrow 'building-block system' (Fig. 5.1.2) is that only one reciprocating power harrow is needed for different applications.

The machine can only be used for the work listed in the table (Table

1) by replacing the tine bar.

Tine bars:

Fixed bar (for attaching to carrier bar)

Fixed bars are suitable for the regeneration of hard sports courts, bicycle and walking paths. Here, the reciprocating power harrow is used in combination with a smooth roller.

When used in combination with a screen roller and seed box, they are ideal for levelling ploughed soil and re-sowing all at the same time.

Spring-steel tine bars

The ruggedness of spring-steel tine bars means that the soil can be prepared before sowing, even under difficult conditions. The triangular teeth ensure that the soil is thoroughly broken up, and the flat double teeth level the soil and prevent sowing in strips.

Scarifier bar (for attaching to carrier bars)

GNK scarifiers guarantee broad-angle re-sowing over the entire working area. This combination can be used as a wide grass sower combination with soil prepared for re-sowing. Setting the tines to drag prevents any hidden stones being pushed to the surface.

5.1.3 Installing and adjusting the reciprocating power harrow

Implements for soil tillage

The distance between the PTO shaft and the pivot points of the lower links will usually be different with different tractor types. Optional extension pieces are available for the lower headstock so the reciprocating power harrow harrow can be fitted to any tractor type.

The lower links on the tractor need to have a little free side movement.

The lower links on the tractor are connected and secured to the lower link sockets on the . The top link on the tractor should be set so that the reciprocating power harrow harrow is angled slightly backwards

(Fig. 5.1.2-1 and Fig. 5.1.2.-2).

Make sure that no-one stands behind or under the machine because it could swing backwards if both parts of the top links come undone or accidentally separate.

At least two seconds must be allowed for the machine to lower.

Adjust the three-point hydraulic system on the tractor appropriately. Set the loaded machine down gently on the ground.

5.1.4 PTO shaft

5.1.6 Adjusting the PTO shaft the first time the machine is coupled

Adjust the PTO shaft to the tractor the first time it is coupled. As this adjustment is only intended for one kind of tractor, check whether the PTO shaft needs to be modified for a different tractor when you install it.

During initial installation, attach the gearbox halves to the front of the universal joint shaft on the tractor. Do not insert the profile tubes inside each other.

1. Check, by holding the tubes next to each other, whether they can be installed in any position.

2. If they have been inserted firmly inside each other, they should not hit against the drive shaft crosspieces. A safe clearance of at least 10 mm is absolutely necessary.

3. To level the two lengths, hold the gearbox halves against each other in the shortest operational position and mark them.

4. Shorten the protective tubes equally inside and out.

5. Shorten the profile tubes equally.

6. Debur the edges of the tubes after cutting and carefully remove the metal residue.

7. Grease the tubes and insert them inside each other.

8. Hang the chains in the hole in the shackle fixing point of the top link in such a way that the drive shaft can move freely in any operating position, and make sure that the PTO shaft guard cannot turn at the same time.

9. Only work on a PTO shaft fitted with all the necessary safety devices.

The drive must be complete in relation to its safety devices and the protective cover on the tractor and machine. The safety devices are to be replaced immediately if damaged.

The maximum permissible bend in a PTO shaft universal joint can be found in the enclosed instruction manual from the manufacturer.

This manual also contains information on fitting and maintenance that must be observed.

To avoid damage, only connect the universal joint shaft slowly when the tractor engine is running at low revs.

6.4 Uncoupling the screen roller

The screen roller is attached to the soil tillage implement by two carrying arms (Fig. 6.4-1/1).

Proceed as follows to separate it from the implement:

· Attach the machine to the tractor.

· Raise the machine until the soil tillage implement no longer touches the ground but the roller is still on the ground.

· Remove the retaining bolts (Fig. 6.4-1/1).

· The cams should no longer rest on the carrying arms (Fig. 6.4-1/2 and Fig. 6.4-1/3).

· Remove the retaining bolts (Fig. 6.4-2).

CAUTION:

This work should only be carried out by authorised specialists.

CAUTION:

The combination is susceptible to tipping over.

The screen roller must be secured before it is uncoupled, to stop it tipping over.

To attach a different implement, uncouple the reciprocating power harrow from the roller as follows:

· Move the implement and tractor forwards and separate the combination.

Work in the reverse sequence to coupling when uncoupling the roller.

6.5 Water connection on smooth roller

To achieve greater reconsolidation of the soil, fill the smooth roller with water. There is a flange with a water connection point on each side of the roller (Fig. 6.5-1). The water hose is connected to one side; then the other connection point is used to allow the air to escape during filling.

CAUTION:

Protect the roller from frost by emptying it if temperatures fall below zero or fill it with antifreeze.

7.2 Fitting the seed box

The seed box sits on rubber elements attached to the roller frame.

The drive chain is tensioned by a pulley attached to the roller frame

(Fig. 7.2-1/1).

GBK / GNK / HR BAF0004.0 01.09

51

Seed box

The chain drive is covered by a split chain guard.

Procedure for removing the seed box:

· Remove the upper and lower parts of the chain guard on the chain drive (Fig. 7.2-2).

^

7.3

· Use pliers to release the spring on the pulley.

· Remove the chain by opening the chain link provided for this.

· Remove the three M12 mounting bolts holding the seed box to the frame.

· Lift the seed box using a suitable hoist.

To refit the seed box, proceed in the reverse order to removal.

Filling the seed box

Before filling the seed box, make sure that the bottom plate is closed and locked. Attach the machine to the tractor and open the seed box cover. It is held open by a safety strut.

To close the seed box, lift the strut with one hand and lower the lid with the other. The lid forms a tight weatherproof seal.

Make sure that the seed box is sufficiently full while working to avoid irregular drilling.

52

GBK / GNK / HR BAF0004.0 01.09

7.4 Emptying the seed box

The seed box is emptied as follows:

· Undo the thumb bolts holding the emptying rail.

· Release the rail at the rear of the seed box (Fig. 7.4-1).

Seed box

· Attach a sack to the hook on the rails.

· Slide the rail along the chute until the opening is fully closed.

· Open the tenter hooks (Fig. 7.4-2) and drop the bottom plate down. The seed will flow into the chute and then into the sack when you pull the rail slowly away from the chute (Fig. 7.4-3),

· After emptying, reattach the rail to the rear wall of the seed box.

The seed box can be cleaned using a jet of water or a highpressure cleaner. If you clean the seed box with compressed air, do not breathe in the dust because the seed may have been treated with substances that are dangerous to your health.

The seed box must be emptied and cleaned several times a year.

When the machine is stored, the bottom plate of the seed box must be left in the open position. Rodents attracted by the smell of the seed may damage the plastic seed wheels while trying to gain entry to the seed box.

7.5 Setting the sowing rate

Use the quantity table in section 7.7 to set the rate.

· To set the sowing rate, screw the handle onto the gear lever (Fig.

7.5/1).

· Set the pointer to the value selected from the quantity table.

· Bring the gear lever up to the selected position.

· After adjusting the handle, tighten it again.

C A U T I O N

The figures in the quantity table should only be used as a guide.

A calibration test is essential to determine the exact sowing rate for the seed box for the seed used. There will be differences between the theoretical and actual sowing rates, depending on the grain size, the shape and the specific weight of the seed and the medium.

54

GBK / GNK / HR BAF0004.0 01.09

Seed box

7.6 Tips on drilling in slow or fast gear

The gear of the sowing shaft, and therefore the sowing rate, can be set using the gearbox (Fig. 7.6/2). There is also a speed converter in the gearbox. Two gears can be set by turning a gear wheel: slow

(see Fig. 7.6/A) fast

(see Fig. 7.6/B)

The setting range is increased by changing from slow to fast (Fig.

7.5/3). The fast gear should only be selected if the desired sowing rate is not achieved when the lever is in the "10" position on the scale for the slow rate. The gearbox is set to slow mode at the factory.

The slow gear is recommended for sowing.

GBK / GNK / HR BAF0004.0 01.09

55

Seed box

7.6.1 Adjusting the gearbox in fast mode

To set the gearbox to fast mode, open the cover on the side of the gearbox (Fig. 7.6.1/1) by undoing the thumb bolts and both thumb nuts (Fig. 7.6.1/2).

Take the lower gear wheel (Fig. 7.6.1/3) off the shaft, reverse it and replace it on the shaft. If the gear wheel is difficult to remove from the shaft by hand, use pliers to move the sowing shaft slightly to release the pressure on the gearbox.

In slow mode, the gear wheel meshes with the wheel above it (Fig.

7.6.1/1), while in fast mode, the gear wheel will run freely (Fig.

7.6.1/2). Close the cover again after the changeover.

If possible only sow in slow mode. After sowing in fast mode, reset the gearbox of your seed box to slow mode.

7.9 Maintenance

Seed box

The AMAZONE seed box is designed to require minimal maintenance. However, we recommend checking the following points at regular intervals:

Visual check of the oil level in the gearbox using the oil-level indicator.

It is not necessary to change the oil. To top up the oil, remove the cover plate on the box by undoing the M8 screw in the centre of the plate. Only use WTL hydraulic oil, 16.5 c ST/50 gr. The capacity is 1.8 l.

After approx. 50 hours of operation, check the condition of the chain and lubricate it if necessary.

8.2 GBK combination seeding system with reciprocating power harrow

8.2.1 Setting the working depth

The reciprocating power harrow must be supported continuously by the roller when working to guarantee a uniform working depth. The depth is set by the top cams of the support (Fig. 8.2.1-1).

Adjusting the top cams:

· Raise the machine until the top cams no longer touch the carrying arms.

· Use the crank to undo the securing bolts (Fig. 8.2.1-2),

· Turn the cams to set the working depth. Make sure that the setting is the same on both sides of the machine. The figures on the cams serve as reference points and do not represent the actual height.

· Tighten the securing bolts.

GBK / GNK / HR BAF0004.0 01.09

61

AMAZONE GBK combination seeding system

The lower cams allow you to lock the carrying arms and so transfer the weight of the roller to the reciprocating power harrow. That way, the teeth of the reciprocating power harrow can better penetrate hard soil.

Adjusting the lower cams:

· Set the working height using the upper cams.

· Lower the reciprocating power harrow and switch it on briefly with the machine stationary until the desired working depth is achieved.

· Undo the securing bolts on the lower cams.

· Adjust the lower cams until they touch the carrying arms (Fig.

8.2.1-3),

· Retighten the securing bolts.

8.2.2 Adjusting the lateral weeders

After the working depth has been set, you need to equalise the height of the lateral weeders on the side ends of the front tine bars.

Procedure:

· Switch on the universal joint shaft and lower the machine until the desired working depth is achieved.

· Switch off the universal joint shaft and tractor.

· Undo the securing bolts on the lateral weeders.

· Adjust the harrow until it is about 2 cm above the ground (Fig.

8.2.2),

· Retighten the securing bolts.

62

GBK / GNK / HR BAF0004.0 01.09

AMAZONE GBK combination seeding system

The lateral weeders should never penetrate the soil while the machine is in operation, otherwise they would create a small groove.

8.2.3 Adjusting the chute

The chute allows you to distribute the seed evenly, directing it to the ground and stopping it drifting in the wind.

The sowing depth is adjusted using the angle of the chute.

Principle of operation

As you work, a more or less sizeable earth wall forms behind the reciprocating power harrow, depending on the working depth and tractor speed. If the chute is angled to the rear (towards the roller), the seed is distributed on the surface of the soil. If the chute is angled forwards

(in the direction of the reciprocating power harrow), the seed is worked into the soil up to a depth of 3-4 cm.

Adjusting the chute:

· Undo both M10 nuts on both sides of the chute (Fig. 8.2.3)

· Angle the chute to the desired position.

· Retighten the nuts.

8.2.4 Levelling blade

The reciprocating power harrow can be fitted with an optional levelling blade for better forming of the surface. The levelling blade is adjusted as follows:

· Undo the securing pin on each crank (Fig. 8.2.4-1).

· Turn the crank to set the blade to the desired height (fig. 8.2.4-2).

· Push the pins back in.

8.3.1 Setting the working depth

The working depth of the rotary harrow is set using the side supports.

To adjust the working depth, insert the locking pin into the desired hole and secure it there (Fig. 8.3.1). The left and right supports must be set to the same working depth.

8.3.2 Adjusting the lateral weeders

The shares prevent an earth wall forming to the left and right of the worked area. They must be adjusted to lightly ( ± 1 cm) penetrate the soil.

They are adjusted as follows:

· Bring rotary harrow to working position.

· Undo thumb nuts.

· Bring share to the desired position.

· Tighten the thumb nuts.

AMAZONE GBK combination seeding system

8.4 GBK combination seeding system with stone burier

8.4.1 Commissioning

The stone burier is designed to break up soil, plant residue and small stones on the surface and incorporate them into the soil. For problemfree operation, make sure the diameter of the stones does not exceed approx. 5 cm, and that there is sufficient loose soil to form a covering layer.

CAUTION Make sure no-one is standing directly behind the machine while the machine is in operation. Because the rotor turns anticlockwise, there is the danger of the entire vehicle combination moving backwards.

To work with the machine, proceed as follows:

· Make sure the tractor's parking brake is on securely.

· Lower rotor close to the ground.

· Engage universal joint shaft.

· Allow universal joint shaft to turn at about 540 rpm and slowly lower the whole machine.

· Switch off the engine and remove the ignition key.

· Set the working depth (the side guides should always be parallel to the ground); if necessary, adjust using the top link. The side parts should penetrate 2-3 cm into the soil.

· Raise the machine so that the rotor is slightly above the ground.

· For initial testing, select a forward speed of 1 – 1.2 km/h, and slowly uncouple while simultaneously lowering the machine.

The three-point hydraulic system must be fully lowered and able to move freely.

· If the rotor becomes blocked by an overlarge stone, uncouple the universal joint shaft immediately without raising the machine.

Continue with the machine lowered so the rotor turns in the direction of travel. In this way, most stones will free themselves from the rotor. This process can be assisted by moving the three point linkage up and down.

Never reach under the machine to remove foreign objects from the rotor.

· If it is not possible to unblock the rotor, remove the leveller cover

(Fig. 8.4.1-1).

66

GBK / GNK / HR BAF0004.0 01.09

AMAZONE GBK combination seeding system

· Remove the harrow sieve completely (Fig. 8.4.1-2).

· Remove the knife in which the object is blocked.

· Remove the object.

8.4.2 Setting the working depth

The working depth of the stone burier is set using the side supports.

To adjust the working depth, insert the locking pin into the desired hole and secure it there (Fig. 8.4.2). The left and right supports must be set to the same working depth.

GBK / GNK / HR BAF0004.0 01.09

67

AMAZONE GBK combination seeding system

8.4.3 Driving

In order to achieve a good result, the machine must be free to follow the soil contour. For this, the three-point hydraulic system on the tractor must be in the lowest position and able to move freely.

To make sure there is good separation between prepared rows when working at a considerable depth, it is advisable for the prepared part to lie to the right of the direction of travel.

When the implement is driven around a slight corner, the lower link arms on the tractor must be able to move freely to the left and right, i.e. do not fasten the lower link arms at the side.

8.4.4 Stone burier operation

The blades work the soil against the direction of travel. The raised earth is thrown up against the primary sieve, which allows stones and debris larger than 4 cm in diameter to return to the groove created by the rotor.

Fine material from the second sieve forms a covering layer. The sieved fine soil is directed downwards by the final leveller cover to ensure optimal distribution and coverage. The screen roller consolidates a roughened surface, making it ideal for seeding the lawn.

We recommend loosening the soil with a suitable implement to achieve a lasting and healthy green space, prevent water from pooling and allow the grass to grow well. The stone burier is responsible for the finish.

Because the rotor operates anticlockwise, all foreign material close to the knives is taken up. It is therefore essential to remove larger stones and obstacles from the area before starting work.

A PTO shaft with overload protection must be used to protect the machine.

9 AMAZONE GNK Overseeder

9.1 Fields of application

AMAZONE GNK Overseeder

With the AMAZONE GNK overseeder, it is possible to reseed existing lawns such as sports fields, fairways, parks, etc., and to seed prepared areas.

The tines on the scarifiers are a mix of spring blades and round rods made of spring steel, combined in such a way that

· they are fixed in the working direction of the reciprocating power harrow (lateral to the direction of driving) and ensure good agitation of the surface layer without damaging healthy grass;

· they are movable in the direction of travel and can avoid obstacles such as stones, roots, etc.

Before resowing lawn, we recommend cutting the grass very short (2 to 3 cm) and, if necessary, scarifying with an AMAZONE Grasshopper or Profihopper, and removing the scarified material.

If you do not have this equipment, you can scarify with the scarifying harrow without simultaneous sowing and gathering up the material, and later gather up the scarified material before actually reseeding.

9.2 Working with the overseeder

9.2.1 Adjusting the overseeding tine bars

Depending on the condition of the surface to be prepared, the overseeder can be set to be more or less aggressive by changing the angle of the tine bars.

The adjustment is made as follows:

· Couple machine to the tractor (see reciprocating power harrow section).

· Raise the machine

· Remove the parking supports:

- Remove the safety pin.

- Remove the locking pin.

- Remove the supports and fasten in the transport bracket

(Fig. 9.2.1-1).

· Undo mounting bolts on both sides of the overseeding tine bar

(Fig. 9.2.1-2).

· Angle overseeder in the desired position.

· Retighten the securing bolts.

GBK / GNK / HR BAF0004.0 01.09

69

AMAZONE GNK Overseeder

9.2.2 Adjusting the chute

The chute allows you to distribute the seed evenly, directing it to the ground and stopping it drifting in the wind.

Change the angle of the chute to set the sowing depth and/or and dispensing point so the seed makes optimal contact with the roughened surface and the loose soil.

Re-sowing - principle

As you work, a more or less sizeable earth wall forms behind the reciprocating power harrow, depending on the working depth and tractor speed. If the chute is angled to the rear (towards the roller), the seed is distributed on the surface of the soil. If the chute is angled forwards

(in the direction of the reciprocating power harrow), the seed is worked into the soil up to a depth of 3-4 cm.

To adjust the chute:

· Undo both M10 nuts on both sides of the chute (Fig. 9.2.2)

· Angle the chute to the desired position.

· Retighten both M10 nuts.

10.2 Fields of application

The AMAZONE HR hard sports court reconditioner consists of a reciprocating power harrow and a smooth roller fitted with a lateral and rear brush. The HR can be configured for the following work by changing the different tine bars:

· Regeneration of tamped areas and paths.

· Weekly maintenance of tamped areas.

· Proper artificial turf care.

10.3 Working with the hard court reconditioner

10.3.1 Regenerating hard courts

The Amazone hard court reconditioner, which is a reciprocating power harrow fitted with fixed tine bars, can work the surface of tamped areas in one pass. The reciprocating power harrow loosens the top layer, while the released tamped material simultaneously fills depressions and levels bumps.

10.3.2 Adjusting the reciprocating power harrow working depth

During operation, the roller height is controlled by that of the reciprocating power harrow to guarantee a uniform working depth. The depth is set by the top cams (Fig. 10.3.2-1).

72

GBK / GNK / HR BAF0004.0 01.09

AMAZONE HR hard court reconditioner

Adjusting the top cams:

· Raise the machine until the top cams no longer touch the carrying arms.

· Use the crank to undo the securing bolts on the cams

(Fig. 10.3.2-2).

· Turn the cams to set the working depth. Make sure that the setting is the same on both sides of the machine. The figures on the cams serve as reference points and do not represent the actual height.

· Retighten the securing bolts.

The lower cams allow you to lock the carrying arms and so transfer the weight of the roller to the reciprocating power harrow. That way, the teeth of the reciprocating power harrow can better penetrate hard ground.

Adjusting the lower cams:

· Set the working height using the upper cams.

· Lower the reciprocating power harrow and switch it on briefly until the desired working depth is achieved.

· Retighten the securing bolts.

10.3.3 Adjusting the lateral weeders

After the working depth has been set, you need to bring the lateral weeders on the side ends of the front tine bars to the working depth.

Procedure:

· Switch on the universal joint shaft and lower the machine until the desired working depth is achieved.

· Switch off the universal joint shaft and tractor.

· Undo the securing bolts on the lateral weeders.

· Adjust the harrow until it is about 2 cm above the ground (Fig.

10.3.4 Adjusting the lateral brushes

AMAZONE HR hard court reconditioner

The two lateral brushes level the soil between the tracks. In their working position, the lateral brushes should be about 1 cm above the ground in order to achieve the best result.

They are adjusted as follows:

· Lower the machine to working depth and engage the universal joint shaft.

· Switch off the shaft and tractor.

· Set the brush height using the adjusting screw (Fig. 10.3.4-1/1).

· Secure the adjusting screw with the lock nut.

10.3.5 Adjusting the rear brush

The surface is smoothed again with the rear brush.

The scraper is pressed down under its own weight, so no further adjustment is needed.

The brush is merely lowered.

· Lower the machine to working depth.

· Lower the brush to the ground (Fig. 10.3.5-1).

· Lock the brushes in the upper position for transport.

(Fig. 10.3.5-2).

Raising the machine also raises the brushes off the ground.

76

GBK / GNK / HR BAF0004.0 01.09

10.3.6 Use on heavily compacted sports courts

AMAZONE HR hard court reconditioner

To loosen compacted soils, the carrying arms must be locked using the cams, so the weight of the roller is placed on the reciprocating power harrow (see section 8.2.1).

Comment:

Tamped areas must have a certain moisture content for the area to be revived - one or two days after rain, for example. The tines will wear prematurely if the machine is used in overly dry conditions.

10.3.7 Weekly maintenance of compacted soil

The weekly maintenance of hard sports courts involves loosening, sweeping and re-tamping 1 to 2 cm of the surface layer. This can be carried out using the HR hard court reconditioner, with the fixed tine bars of the harrow being replaced by a combination of a scarifier bar in front of and a scraper bar behind the reciprocating power harrow.

10.3.8 Adjusting the front scarifier bar

For hard sports courts, we recommend weekly maintenance with the scarifying bar at its maximum angle. Set the tine bars more vertically for more aggressive scarifying work. Adjustment of the angle is described in section 9.2.2.

The scraper bar, attached on the back of the reciprocating power harrow for weekly maintenance of tamped areas, levels the surface worked by the tines of the scarifier. The bar must be set so that the brushes touch the surface in their operating position.

To adjust the scraper bar:

· Lower machine to working depth.

· Undo the mounting bolts on both sides of the scraper bar

(Fig. 10.3.9).

· Set the bar to the desired height and lock it in this position using the mounting bolts.

10.4 Care of sandy artificial turf

You only need to fit the scraper bars to the front and rear of the reciprocating power harrow to brush sand into artificial turf surfaces and for their regular care. The brushes level the tracks of the players and brush the sand into the turf. The ground can be used immediately after treatment by the HR hard court reconditioner.

10.5 Adjusting the brush bars

Both brush bars must be set to the same working height for use on sanded artificial turf. The adjustment is described in section 10.2.9.
