Operating manual R3 profi and compact
This manual provides crucial safety and operational instructions for the Respiro R3 profi and compact models, emphasizing adherence to safety warnings to prevent injuries and property damage. It includes symbols for different warning levels and instructions for handling environmentally hazardous substances.
The Respiro pick-up belt rake is intended for agricultural use, specifically for raking various types of harvest forage. It should be operated by qualified personnel, including specialist agricultural workers and supervised trainees. Non-agricultural use is prohibited.
The Respiro R3 models are designed to pick up harvest forage from the ground using a hydraulic-driven system. The R3 compact features a suspension system with springs, while the R3 profi integrates suspension into the tractor's front linkage, eliminating the need for additional springs.
Instructions are provided for coupling the machine to a tractor, setting the working height, and making hydraulic and electrical connections. The operation section covers the use of control terminals, rotor and belt switches, and recommended settings for optimal performance.
Regular maintenance tasks include replacing pick-up and rotor tines, wear discs, and conveyor belts. The manual provides a lubrication plan and instructions for cleaning machine parts.
Common issues such as non-working pick-up and rotor, belt travel problems, and noise during idling are addressed with solutions.
The manual includes technical specifications, hydraulic and electrical plans for both the Respiro R3 compact and profi models.
Guidelines for transporting the machine on a lorry or trailer and instructions for outdoor and winter storage are provided.
Information on emergency services and customer support from Reiter Innovative Technology is included.
The Respiro R3 compact and Respiro R3 profi are designed to be mounted on the front linkage of a tractor. Proper adjustment of the suspension for all mounted attachments is crucial.
For the Respiro R3 profi, couple the lower link and mount the upper link, setting the height of the mounting frame to 550 mm. For the Respiro R3 compact, mount the lower link in the required position, mount the upper link, and adjust suspension springs based on the front linkage geometry.
The correct length of the upper link should be selected to achieve the desired working height of the pick-up tines, ideally 1-2 cm from the ground.
Ensure proper hydraulic connections for both Respiro R3 compact and profi models. The flow line supplies hydraulic oil with a maximum flow rate of 60 l/min. A depressurised return flow is recommended to minimize oil warming.
Connect the power supply cable and socket outlet for the main cable. Ensure the cable is not strained during operations to prevent damage.
Ballasting may be necessary depending on the tractor's weight. A general rule is to use a rear ballast of around 750 kg for a 500 kg front machine.
The control terminal manages the rotor and belt. The rotor must be in a floating position during field work to prevent damage. The belt direction should only be changed when the machine is stationary.
Mount the machine, connect hydraulic and electric lines, and ensure all plugs are properly connected. Set the oil flow rate to a maximum of 60 l/min.
Adjust suspension, working height, and oil flow according to field conditions. The rotor position should maintain a 50 mm distance from the pick-up to avoid damage.
Regularly check for wear and replace components as needed. Maintenance should only be performed when the machine is off and the key removed.
Guidelines are provided for replacing pick-up tines, rotor tines, wear discs, and conveyor belts. Regular checks and timely replacements are essential to avoid further damage.

4. Product description The harvest forage is picked up from the ground by the pick-up (1). The swath roller (2) presses the harvest forage against the pick-up and guides the flow of material to the rotor (3). The driven rotor conveys the harvest forage evenly on to the conveyor belt (4). The harvest forage can be deposited by the conveyor belt on either the left or the right of the machine. The machine’s drive is hydraulic. No front PTO shaft is required. Attachment rocker (1) with rubber buffers (2) for self-centring the work unit. Shackle (3) for hanging in the suspension springs.
