Before maintenance, park the machine on stable ground, depressurize the hydraulic system, and disconnect electrical systems. Avoid high-pressure jets on sensitive components during cleaning and maintain a safe distance. After cleaning, inspect hydraulic lines for leaks and retighten any loosened connections. Unauthorized maintenance should be performed by trained professionals only.
The machine's danger zone is marked in red and poses risks such as accidental hydraulic movements and rotating parts. Always ensure no one is in the danger zone during machine operation. Shut down the tractor before any inspection or work in this area.
Safety stickers are crucial for hazard warnings. Keep them clean and replace any that are damaged or illegible. Ensure all spare parts have the appropriate safety stickers.
Only trained personnel should handle commissioning. Machines are delivered assembled, but if disassembled for transport, they must be reassembled by authorized personnel. Follow country-specific transport regulations and ensure the tractor used is suitable for the machine's weight and dimensions.
Detailed specifications for various models of the Tiger MT series are provided, including working and transport dimensions, weight, and component details. Ensure compliance with national regulations regarding transport dimensions.
Ensure the tractor meets the necessary specifications for axle loads, total weight, and engine power. The document outlines the required tractor link arm categories and engine power ranges for different Tiger MT models.
To prevent overloading, calculate the necessary ballasting for both front and rear implements. Ensure the tractor's front axle is loaded with at least 20% of its curb weight. The document provides formulas for calculating minimum ballasting and axle loads.
The Tiger 6 MT model includes components such as a drawbar, DiscSystem, tine field, levelling discs, tyre packer, and optional TopRing packer. The document provides a visual overview of these components.
To avoid accidents, secure hydraulic control units and ensure no one is within the range of moving parts. Always lock control units when not in use.
Ensure hydraulic lines are connected only when both machine and equipment sides are depressurized. Use mineral-based hydraulic oil exclusively; do not mix with organic or ester oils. Maintain oil purity according to ISO 4406: 18/16/13. Ensure all hydraulic lines are plugged in to prevent damage. Maintain cleanliness and secure connections of all plug-and-socket connections.

Risk of injury from hydraulic cylinders; ensure safety measures are in place when attaching or removing clips. Regularly check and maintain lighting systems to prevent road accidents. Clean and replace damaged instruction stickers immediately. Regularly check tyre pressure and tighten connections as per maintenance guidelines.
Follow safety notes and accident prevention instructions during operation. Ensure proper connection to the tractor before any machine movements. Check all plug-and-socket connections for cleanliness and secure seating. Ensure compliance with national road traffic regulations before driving on public roads.
Follow specific steps for folding and unfolding the machine, ensuring no persons are in the danger zone. Ensure the machine is on a level and firm surface before folding. Use aluminium clips to secure lift-out cylinders and maintain stability during transport.
Procedures for operating the slewing undercarriage emphasize swiveling the transport undercarriage completely upward and securing it with clips to prevent collisions. Before unfolding the machine, the undercarriage must be turned down completely. The unfolding process should be conducted cautiously to avoid collisions.
For folding, the machine should be lifted completely, and the side packers retracted. Machines with slewing undercarriage require removal of aluminium clips from hydraulic cylinders. Detailed steps for folding and parking include engaging the parking brake and disconnecting lines for brake, hydraulics, and lighting.
To avoid exceeding the maximum permissible transport height of 4.00 m, several settings are necessary. Specific instructions for adjusting the drawbar cylinder and retracting cylinders for different machine configurations are provided.
The working depth is adjusted by inserting aluminium clips on hydraulic cylinders. The document explains the basic setting and how to adjust the depth for both the tine field and DiscSystem, including the ratio of clips to working depth.
For machines with slewing undercarriage, pendulum compensation is adjusted using aluminium clips on undercarriage cylinders. The front packer roller should run higher than the rear roller.
Regular checks and maintenance are crucial for optimal machine performance. The document lists checks to be performed before and during use, including hydraulic line connections and lighting functionality. Maintenance tasks include cleaning, lubrication, and ensuring the machine is secured during maintenance work.
For long-term storage, the machine should be parked under a roof and protected against corrosion. The document also describes the assembly of tines and levelling discs, including safety warnings and adjustment procedures.
Instructions for converting the machine from transport to working position include adjusting border discs and securing them with bolts or clamping screws.
Regular checks are necessary for clearance, leak tightness, and true running. Avoid using high-pressure cleaners on bearing points and apply rust dissolver before idle periods. Ensure free running before commissioning.
These prevent dam formation and require adjustment based on field conditions. Depth and angle of attack settings are crucial for optimal performance. Safety precautions include careful handling to avoid injury.
