 Precautions when coupling


Before attaching the machine, make sure that it
cannot accidentally start moving (chock the wheels)
and that the parking stand is in the right position.
The machine must only be attached to the hitch
points provided for this purpose.
Never stand between the tractor and the machine
when operating the three point linkage.
Do not stand between the tractor and the machine
without ensuring that the parking brake is applied.

 Hydraulic circuit
Caution! The hydraulic circuit is under high
pressure. Maximum pressure at work: 215 bar
(3118.4 psi).
Before connecting hoses to the tractor hydraulics,
ensure that tractor and machine circuits are not
under pressure. Before disconnecting a hose,
depressurize the hydraulic circuit.
To avoid making incorrect connections, mark
hydraulic couplers and corresponding hoses with
colors. WARNING! Functions could be reversed (for
example: lift/lower) and cause accidents.
Regularly check the hydraulic hoses. In case of
normal wear, the hydraulic hoses must be replaced
every 5 years. Damaged or worn hoses must
immediately be replaced. When replacing the
hydraulic hoses, only use hoses with the
specification recommended by the manufacturer of
the machine.
To locate a leak, use appropriate means. Protect
body and hands from liquid under pressure.
Any liquid under pressure (particularly oil from
hydraulics) can penetrate the skin and cause severe
injury. If injured, see a doctor immediately, there
could be danger of infection.
Before any adjustments, maintenance or repairs are
carried out, lower the machine to the ground,
depressurize the hydraulics, turn off the engine,

output in excess of 45 l/min (11.9 gal/min) ; a flow
divider must be fitted to prevent the circuit
overheating.

If your tractor is fitted with a closed-center


hydraulic circuit, make a return to the filter.

 Machine without a hydraulic system

In order to power the machine's independent


distributor, the machine can be connected to the
tractor hydraulics in one of three ways:
1. Connection to a single-acting control valve and
direct return to the tank.

This is the preferred connection.

2. Connection to a double-acting distributor. The first


port is used to connect the pressure hose and the
second for the return hose. On fitting, make sure
that the direction of the oil flow is correct..
3. Connection to a line from the tractor.

For maximum user-friendliness, the original


hydraulic distributor on the tractor must be equipped
with a continuous pumping position.
• The operating pressure of the hydraulic circuit is
190 bar (2756 psi).
• The minimum and maximum hydraulic oil flow for
a standard machine is 30 l/min (7.9 gal/min) and
45 l/min (11.9 gal/min) respectively.
• The pressure and return hoses are fitted with a
male push/pull coupler (ISO 7241).

Grease the transmission.
Make sure that the PTO shaft is correctly
adjusted, to avoid premature wear and tear. L

- Separate the two half PTO shafts and connect


them to the machine's input shaft and to the tractor
PTO stub.
- Check the length of the PTO shaft:
• Check the maximum overlap when the machine
is in transport position and the tractor turned to
the direction which provides maximum overlap.
• When the PTO shaft is in its maximum overlap
position (retracted), tubes should not butt against
the yokes. As a safety measure, a clearance (L)
of at least 25 mm (1’’) must be maintained.
• When the PTO shaft is in its maximum extended
position, the tube overlap must be more than
330 mm (13’’)

If this is not the case:


- Mark length (H) to cut when the transmission is the
maximum overlap position.
- Shorten the guard tubes and the transmission
tubes by the same length.
- Bevel and clean the tubes.
- Grease the inside of the outer tube.

8.3 Functional check, no load

Before using the machine for the first time with a load, make sure that the tractor-machine
combination is in working order.

- Make sure you can change PTO speed. (Caution: this is not synchronised).
- For a machine with a hydraulic unit, check whether the gearbox can be set to neutral.
- Select a PTO speed (270 min-1 or 540 min-1).
- Align the tractor and the machine, then engage the PTO drive and leave the tractor idling.
- Gradually increase the engine speed until the PTO reaches 540 min-1.
- Start the beater bar then the conveyor (test in both directions).
- Now check that the machine is running smoothly and free from vibration.
- Reduce the engine speed once again until it is idling.

If the machine is noisy or vibrating abnormally, stop the PTO immediately and refer to the
troubleshooting section or contact your Kuhn dealer. When the problem has been solved, start the test
procedure again from the beginning.

- Operate the hydraulically-controlled elements and check that the machine is functioning properly.
- Stop the PTO, switch off the control unit and switch off the tractor engine.

If one of the hydraulic functions is not working, or is running in the wrong direction, check the hose
connections and start the test procedure again from the beginning.

- Test the operation of the lighting and signalling system (sidelights, brake lights and indicators).

8.4 Precautions and prevention of fire


risk

Your machine works with moving parts (bale


separator(s), turbine) and highly inflammable
products. There is therefore a real risk of fire
resulting from:
- Overheating of the power takeoff friction limiter.
Please do not use this limiter excessively. If smoke
issues from the transmission, stop the machine
immediately and leave the limiter to cool outside
the buildings.
- Winding strink or products at the ends of the bale
separator(s).
- Each time, before using the machine, check the
ends of the bale separator(s) to remove products
which have become wound round or have
accumulated in this area.
- Worn bearing. Grease bearings regularly and
check their condition.
- Sparks caused by pebbles or metal objects in the
straw.
It is highly recommended to have an extinguisher
which has been checked and maintained, on your
tractor. Recommended types: sprayed water +
additive, ABC powder.

It is strictly prohibited to use your machine


stationary inside a building.

8.5 Loading bales

For a machine equipped with a hydraulic unit, you must set the gearbox to neutral.

Before loading, always make sure that the bale lifter is not deployed.

8.5.1 Round bales


- Lower the tailgate (1) to ensure good visibility.
- Place the machine horizontally.
- Remove the chains and posts.
- Reverse the machine near to the bale. 2
- Position the base of the tailgate as close to the
ground as possible.
- Push the bale (2) manually onto the tailgate or
reverse the machine onto flat ground.
- Place a chock under the bale to stop it moving
backwards.
- The chock must not stop the tailgate lifting. 1
- Move the machine slightly forward.
- Once the bale is on the tailgate, remove the
strings.
- Lift the tailgate so that the bale rolls onto the
conveyor.
- Close the tailgate.
- To make it easier to spread the hay or straw with a
round bale, load the bale so that it can unroll
naturally. This allows the blower-beater bar
assembly to be fed more easily, and improves the
straw blowing or feeding.

Make sure the bale is completely inside the tailgate and not caught between the sides of the tailgate and
the body when loading.

8. - Instructions for work


51
AN071BGB J
Straw feeder
PRIMOR 3570 M

8.5.2 Rectangular bales

- Remove the chains and posts from the tailgate.


- Put the rectangular bale on flat ground against a
rigid obstacle to stop the bale moving.
- Lower the tailgate to set the tailgate threshold in
alignment with the conveyor.
- Load the cubic bale from the back, setting it down
gently.

When loading with another machine, do not


drop the bale onto the tailgate from a height
otherwise the front of the machine may rear
up.

A bale which is incorrectly centered and/or


misaligned relative to the tailgate, catches on
the tailgate or rear uprights: do not force it,
move the tractor forwards and realign the
machine with the bale (risk of damaging the
tailgate).

It is easier to remove the strings when the bale


has been loaded with the strings on the side.

Before cutting the string, put the chain back in


place to prevent the last section of the bale from
falling off.

8.6 Distribution of forage

- Select the blower speed for feeding: 270 min-1.

Always start the tractor PTO and start the blower


before engaging the beater bar. Stop the beater
bar before stopping the PTO. If you do not do this
in the right order, you are very likely to block up
the blower.

The feed chute on top of the machine does 2 jobs:


• Straw blowing: In up position
• Distribution of forage: In the down position

Operating tips:

- To stop the distribution (posts, obstacles)


disengage the beater bar. (The conveyor stops at
the same time).

To avoid clogging the machine in difficult conditions,


watch the engine speed carefully:
- Slow down conveyor speed or even reverse the
direction if the engine speed drops or the belt starts
to slip.
- If it becomes overloaded, allow it to empty before
making the conveyor move forward again.

Never attempt to clear the product by hand or


with a tool (fork, etc.) while the machine is
running.

8. - Instructions for work


53
AN071BGB J
Straw feeder
PRIMOR 3570 M

- In the event of a jam, and before any clearing


operation:
• Disengage tractor PTO.
• Turn off the engine, remove ignition key and wait
until all moving parts have come to a complete
stop.
• Uncouple the PTO.

You can access the inside of the turbine via a hatch


(1) on the side of the turbine.

1
If you start the blower plate moving manually,
you run a serious risk of having your finger
cut off by a blade, since this system has a
very high inertia.

- When the machine is loaded, we strongly advise


you to not leave the conveyor running in reverse
longer than is necessary.

- Before starting the beater bar, make sure the


conveyor speed is set to position 0 to prevent a
load being fed into the blower.

- The product flow rate is adjusted by:


• Changing the tractor engine speed: this regulates
the hydraulic flow and the PTO rotation speed.
• The conveyor speed.

continuous pumping.
- Point the delivery chute downwards so that the
forage should be properly channelled to the
ground or into a trough.
- Start up the beater bar using the clutch (until the
indicator lamp lights up, if you have electric
controls).
To distribute the product, start the conveyor running
forward and adjust the speed:
- Set the conveyor to forward.
- Adjust its speed.
When the distribution is finished:
- Close the tailgate right up.
- Stop the conveyor and disengage the beater bar.
- Disengage the bale separator.
- Close the distribution chute.
- Disengage tractor PTO.

- Select the blower speed for straw blowing:


540 min-1.
- Start up the tractor PTO and bring the engine up to
nominal speed.
- Switch the tractor's hydraulic distributor to
continuous pumping.
- Direct the delivery chute so that the straw is blown
where you want it.
- Switch on the bale separator using the clutch, until
the the light indicator comes on.
- To distribute the product, start the conveyor
moving forward.
- The product flow rate is adjusted by:
• Changing the tractor engine speed: this regulates
the hydraulic flow and the PTO rotation speed.
• The conveyor speed.

When the distribution is finished:


- Raise the tailgate.
- Stop the conveyor and disengage the beater bar.
- Disengage the bale separator.
- Put the tractor's distributor lever back to neutral,
disengage the PTO and switch off the engine

In certain cases, the first part of rectangular


bales tends to shoot upwards at the start of straw
blowing. The guides push the product towards
the back of the machine. For this reason it is
important not to stop the conveyor and to let the
product drop naturally to the back.

For spreading straw in stalls, you can select a


blower speed of 270 min-1.

58 8. - Instructions for work AN071BGB J


Straw feeder
PRIMOR 3570 M

For machines equipped with a hydraulic


regulator:
- A sufficiently large opening must be left above the
bale separator so that straw distribution can take
place properly.
• Recommended position: 1 to 2.
Position 1 can be used at the start of straw
distribution to promote bale separator penetration
into the product.

Operating tips

- For even straw spreading, the bale must stay in


permanent contact with the bale separator.

- Lift the back of the machine slightly to avoid the


bale being thrown to the back of the beater bar.

During straw blowing, adjust the height of the body


in order to:
- keep round bales up against the beater bar when
the product requires little power.
- facilitate the rotation of round bales against the
beater bar when the product is tougher.

- To improve product feed into the blower, up to 6


hooks can be mounted on the beater bar in place
of the sections.

Keep an angle of 120° between the hooks.


Never distribute hay or haylage with hooks fitted
to the beater bar.
