Preface

4 Preface OF SPECIAL IMPORTANCE Please note that, in the following section, the CLAAS front attachment “DIRECT DISC 520” is also simply referred to as the front attachment.

The notes in this operator's manual must be read and observed by all persons who use, maintain, service or check the trailer in order to avoid dangers.

Particular emphasis should be placed on reading and observing the sections “Safety rules” and “Prior to operation”. Also observe the pertinent accident prevention regulations of your country.

The use of parts, accessories and ancillary equipment which are not genuine CLAAS products and which have not been tested and approved by CLAAS can have a negative effect on the required properties of the CLAAS trailer or on its functional capability and can therefore compromise the active and/or passive driving safety and the working safety (accident prevention).

CLAAS will in no way be liable for damage or personal injury caused by the use of other than original CLAAS parts, accessories and additional equipment.

ZBA/BA TW DIRECT DISC 610 / 520 Contour / 520 Comfort - 000 294 671 2

Safety rules Particular care is required when hitching the transport wagon!

When loading the trailer by crane use the required safety-tested slings to suit the total weight.

Hitch the trailer as specified. With automatic hitch couplings make sure that the automatic hitch coupling is fully engaged.

When slinging on a crane, only use the slinging points marked for fitting the slings.

Nobody may stand between the tractor unit and the trailer unless the vehicle is secured against rolling away by the parking brake and/or chocks!

Secure the trailer against rolling away before uncoupling.

When the trailer is parked up, the parking brake on the overrun device must be applied, the chocks must be placed under the wheels and the safety procedure in accordance with the StVO stipulations in the individual states must be carried out.

Caution when removing the front attachment. Maintain a sufficient safety distance.

Do not stand under the suspended load and do not stand in the danger area.

TYRES When working on the tyres make sure that the trailer is parked safely and is secured against rolling away (chocks)!

The fitting of tyres and wheels requires adequate skill and the use of regulation fitting tools!

Repair work on tyres and wheels must be carried out by qualified technicians using suitable equipment.

Securely position the front attachment on the trailer.

Check the pressure regularly. Observe the prescribed air pressures!

Before starting off, the electrical system must be connected to the trailer, it should be checked for correct functioning, the safety snap cable between the tractor unit and the parking brake on the trailer must be fitted and the parking brake on the trailer must be released.

MAINTENANCE

Before starting to drive check the correct secure location of the front attachment on the trailer.

Before starting off, check the surrounding area (children!). Make sure the field of view is free!

Riding on the trailer is prohibited.

Repair work, maintenance and cleaning and the rectification of functional errors must always be carried out with the drive disengaged and the engine at a standstill!

– Remove the ignition key!

Regularly check nuts and screws for tight fit and tighten them, if necessary!

The maximum permissible speed is laid down in the operating licence.

When carrying out maintenance work on the suspended trailer always ensure that security is ensured by the use of additional supporting elements.

If modifications are made to the trailer which compromise the road safety, then the operating licence is revoked and a new application for an operating licence must be made.

Always disconnect the power supply before working on the electrical system!

Working gloves must be worn to prevent crush and laceration injuries when working on the trailer.

Spare parts must at least comply with the technical standards required by the manufacturer of the implement! This is assured with original spare parts, for example!

When changing wheels, only use a jack with permissible carrying capacity for the total weight of the trailer and the front attachment.

When changing wheels, only attach the jack to those points marked as the jack mounting points. Before doing this, apply the parking brake and secure against rolling away with chocks.

Never work under components which are supported only by the jack. Before starting work, the support must be made safe by using additional safety supports.

Tighten the wheel nuts with a torque wrench and retighten after a working period of 10 hours.

– A thorough check of the braking system should be carried out at regular intervals.

Chassis Danger!

Repairs, maintenance and cleaning on the lifted transport wagon or under it must only be carried out with it securely supported!

– Use appropriate supports.

Wheels / tyres

Check that the mounting bolts of the ring hitch are firmly seated after the first 10 hours of operation and then every 50 hours thereafter.

Bolts After about 10 operating hours all bolts and nuts on the trailer should be re-checked and tightened if necessary.

Thereafter check the screws regularly for tightness.

Fasteners Note!

Repair work on tyres must be carried out by qualified technicians using suitable equipment.

Check all safety-relevant fasteners such as pins, screw, bolts etc. regularly for wear and deformation.

If necessary replace the connection components with new parts.

Lubrication Danger!

Excessive pressure may cause tyres to burst.

– Stand clear of the tyre when inflating.

– Check the pressure regularly.

– Maintain the specified tyre pressure – see Specifications, page 6.1.

Use only good quality branded grease for lubricating the trailer. Clean the grease nipples before applying the grease gun. Lubricate regularly following the lubrication chart.

The lubrication intervals stated apply to normal service conditions only. If the trailer is used under difficult conditions more frequent lubrication is required.

Environment!

The wheel mounting bolts must be tightened to the torque specified by the manufacturer.

Dispose of oil and grease according to regulations!

After every wheel change tighten the wheel nuts or bolts after 10 hours of operation and then check the tightness every 50 working hours. For tightening torques see Specifications, page 6.1.

Maintenance

Maintenance BRAKING SYSTEM Danger!

Only work under the trailer if securely supported!

– Secure the trailer with suitable supporting elements.

Incorrect repairs on the brake system may cause the brake system to fail.

– All repairs and adjustments must be carried out by a specialist workshop only.

– Follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule.

– A thorough check of the braking system should be carried out at regular intervals.

General information The following operating, handling, setting and maintenance regulations refer to BPW brakes, transmission, overrun and towing devices. They form a component part of the guarantee stipulations. The relevant operating regulations of the vehicle parts manufacturer must be observed. The maintenance tasks must be carried out at the prescribed intervals to retain the operating and traffic safety of the vehicle.

When fitting parts, we strongly recommend only using genuine BPW parts. The parts released by BPW are subject to regular tests. BPW accepts product responsibility for these parts. Our guarantee becomes void if replacement parts other than genuine BPW parts are used.

ZBA/BA TW DIRECT DISC 610 / 520 Contour / 520 Comfort - 000 294 671 2

Maintenance Function of reverse automatic system

1

On the trailer all four wheels are fitted with overrun brakes. As a result of a special brake shoe supporting system in the wheel brake, which releases the braking function during reverse movement, problem-free reverse setting is ensured at all times, even on hills.

This means that a reverse movement blocking lever for a mechanical block is not necessary. The normal braking function is immediately available again when travelling forward.

5

2 4 3 1

The associated overrun device is equipped with a gas-assisted hydraulic shock absorber. This produces virtually jerk-free driving and braking. All the individual components, wheel brake, transmission and overrun device work smoother because of this arrangement.

The braking system works fully automatically and requires no intervention. Please observe the following notes when operating the handbrake lever: Pull the parking brake lever firmly over the dead point (at least 3 teeth).

Attention!

When pulling the parking brake lever, this effects pretensioning of the gas struts after movement over the dead point!

The handbrake lever is automatically tensioned by the gas struts if the trailer has a tendency to roll backwards.

Pushing in the pull rod with the tractor unit makes the operation of the parking brake lever easier. This generally pushes the wheel brake into the automatic reversing unit and the parking brake lever can be pulled to the end position.

The tractor unit must be connected to the parking brake lever on the trailer by a safety snap cable. If the trailer releases from the tractor unit of its own accord, the trailer is stopped by the parking brake lever being applied by the safety snap cable.

ZBA/BA TW DIRECT DISC 610 / 520 Contour / 520 Comfort - 000 294 671 2

Maintenance Setting the wheel brakes Carry out the following working steps every 200 operating hours on the front and rear wheels:

• Secure the trailer against rolling away, lift at the relevant axle and make sure that proper support is provided.

• Remove the wheels.

• Release the pull connection on the braking

13

line (13) in the front of the wagon.

3

• Lock the hinged cams of the wheel brake using the auxiliary tool (14) (∅ 4 mm pin) through the plug aperture from the outside (insert pin at least 50 mm).

• Tighten the adjusting nuts (16) on the wheel

14

brakes with a spanner via the adjusting bolt (15) until the movement of the wheel in the direction of travel is stopped.

• Turn the adjusting nut (15) backwards until, when turning the wheel in the forward direction, no braking action can be detected any more.

Attention!

4

Adjusting the wheel brake should only be carried out using the adjusting bolt (15)!

• In the front wagon the pull connection must be fitted to the braking line (13) and adjusted to have no play (Fig. 3).

This means that the pull rod of the overrun device must be fully pulled out and the diverting lever must be in contact with the pull rod. To test apply the parking brake lever slightly and check that the same braking force (in direction of travel) is available at the left hand and right hand brake drum. Also check that the braking effect on each drum takes place simultaneously.

Attention!

Remove the stop (14) (∅4 mm pin) from the brake cam! (Fig. 4)

• Refit the wheels (tightening torque – see Specifications, page 6.1).

Maintenance Maintenance intervals After 50 operating hours The brake linings will have bedded in with the brake drums and the transmission system will have settled after the first few kilometres of driving. The play created by this process must be taken up by adjustment.

Proceed as follows:

• Adjusting the wheel brakes – see Setting the wheel brakes, page 10.5.

• Check the overrun movement used with a stop braking procedure. The overrun movement used should not exceed 50 - 60% of the maximum overrun movement (X = 120 mm). If that is the case, the setting of the wheel brake must be repeated.

X

(Fig. 15)

• Now check that the trailer can be pushed backwards slightly by the tractor unit. If the trailer brakes too sharply the setting of the wheel brake should be released slightly.

15

• After setting is complete make sure that the lock nuts are tightened.

Every 200 operating hours

• Check the function of the braking system as described in “After 50 operating hours”.

• Check the thickness of the brake linings. This is done by removing the plastic plug from the viewing hole and performing a visual check. If the brake linings are damaged or if the lining thickness is less than 2 mm, the brake shoes must be replaced. Damaged parts (springs, expanding locks etc.) must also be replaced in this case.

Every 250 operating hours

• Lubricate all bearings. Lubricate the ropes with oil.

• Check the play of the wheel bearings and adjust if necessary – see Adjusting taper roller bearing, page 10.13.

CLEANING AND CARE

• Do not use high pressure cleaners and steam cleaners to clean torque-overload clutches, bearing parts, hydraulic components and electrical parts.

– danger of damage and rust formation.

• Paint damage can be caused by cleaning at too high a pressure.

• The bearing points must be greased before and after cleaning with a high-pressure cleaner!

Then carry out a short test run to squeeze out the water that has entered the bearings.

• There should be a collar of grease present at the bearing locations. This protects the bearing from the ingress of dirt, plant juices and water.

• When storing the trailer outdoors for longer periods the piston rods of the gas struts should be cleaned and then coated in grease.
