At each getting off the tractor by the operator, leave the plough in the lowered position. Removing clogs can be performed after lowering the tool onto the ground and turning off the tractor engine. It is not allowed to use tractor reverse gear during work, when the tool is in the working position.
General principles. 3.7. Manufacturer’s responsibility and guarantee ® In relation to described in this manual machine types, BOMET company does not acknowledge any civil responsibility towards: - improper or inconsistent with the manufacturer’s recommendations using the machine,...
3.9 Safety signs and captions ® 1-beam mounted ploughs of U068 series of BOMET company are equipped with all devices that ensure safe work. Where it is not possible to secure dangerous places entirely due to the proper operation of the plough, there are warning signs – pictograms which indicate for possibility of danger and present manners of avoiding it.
4. USAGE REGULATIONS 4.1. General information 1-beam mounted ploughs of U068 series are produced in series as 3-furrow and 4- furrow ploughs with the possibility of mounting an attachment with 1-furrow. They are adjusted to work on terrain slopes not exceeding 8.5 and cooperate with tractors equipped with suspension system category II or III (see technical characteristics –...
Mounted ploughs of U068 series are connected to a tractor with the use of three-point suspension system consisting of the suspension axle with a rack which is supported by the long stay. The suspension axle is mounted in the hitches of the coupler head with the use of bearings which enable its movement and tilting.
Figure 2. Position of the lower rods Before suspension of the machine, lower rods of the tractor’s suspension system shall be set in lower position at the same height (distance between joints and the ground is minimum 200 mm). Rods set at the equal height from the ground facilitate mounting the plough on the tractor.
- tighten gently chains of lower rods of the tractor, keeping the symmetry between the plough suspension and the tractor, - link quick connects of hydraulic actuator hoses; - install portable light and warning signs and a triangular sign for low-speed vehicles transported on the tractor, CAUTION It is forbidden to connect the machine with a tractor when the tractor engine is running.
Figure 4. Plough longitudinal levelling Properly levelled plough should have the frame set in parallel to the field surface and three-point suspension system rack should be set vertically. In such an adjusted plough, all plough bodies should work at the equal depth. After performing ploughing with such a levelled plough there should not be visible differences between the height of furrows put aside by individual bodies of the plough in the field.
impairs the operation quality of the bodies, worsens soil crumbling and also quality of mixing and covering fertilizers and plant remnants, - turning and returning with the tool lowered may lead to serious damage both to the plough and the tractor, - during returns made with the tool opening the soil, it is necessary to increase the headland strip in order not to cause the collision between the plough and the tool, - in case of clogging of working elements (stone, plant remnants, other foreign matters in...

Adjustment of the first furrow - setting the width of the first furrow is performed by shifting the three-point suspension system rack on the suspension axle (after loosening 3 screws) and adjustment with a turnbuckle B (Fig. 7) so as the point of the ploughshare first body is in the distance equalling nominal width of the body from the internal part of the right rear wheel.
Adjustment of the mouldboard - the inclination angle of the mouldboard can be adjusted to a small extent by means of the rear bracket of the mouldboard connecting the skid strip with the rear wall of the mouldboard. IMPORTANT! As the working parts of the plough (skid, ploughshare) are subject to wear, the adjustment of the plough must be performed with the use of longitudinal adjustment.
elements shall be repeated in case of the preservative layer rinsed. Light and warning signs and a triangular sign for low-speed vehicles should be uninstalled from the plough and placed in a dry room, to be protected from being damaged. 5.4.
5.5. Detection and removal of failure During ploughing, following failure can occur, which can affect unfavourably the plough operation quality, raise the application cost and also lead to damage both of the plough and the tractor.
