Table of Contents Safety first Safety instructions It is imperative that the following instructions be observed: 1. When uncoupling plough from tractor, ensure that the stand support is properly clamped! 2. Road transport with transport swing support wheel: When transporting on public roads, road traffic regulations must be observed! On transport journeys with transport swing support wheel, the tractor's toplink must be dismounted.
Safety first Safety and accident prevention regulations 1. Operators shall wear close-fitting clothing. Solid footwear must be worn. 2. Special care is to be taken when handling any sharp and pointed tools and components - Risk of injury! 3. Before initial operation, please familiarize yourself with all equipment and operating elements as well as their function - both on the tractor and on the plough! It is too late to do this during working operation.

Table of Contents Mounting and dismounting the plough As a rule: • The plough may only be mounted on the tractor's lifting gear using original parts with matching connection size (Category 2 or • Before mounting or dismounting the plough on the tractor's lifting gear, move the control lever for the hydraulic system to a position where unintentional lifting or lowering of the three-point linkage is ruled out.
Mounting and dismounting the plough Mounting the plough Stand the plough in working position and connect to tractor as follows: For models with four-share design and above, the mounting axle • diameter must have a pin diameter of 36 mm or ball diameter of 64 mm.
Table of Contents Hydraulic connections All hydraulic hose lines are equipped with grips. • Coloured markings with a code number or code letter have been applied to the gripping sections in order to assign the respective hydraulic function to the pressure line of a tractor control unit! Films are stuck on the implement for the markings that illustrate the respective hydraulic function.
Mounting and dismounting the plough WARNING Danger of infection from escaping hydraulic fluid at high pressure! When coupling and uncoupling the hydraulic hose lines, ensure that the hydraulic system is depressurised on both the implement and tractor sides. If you are injured by hydraulic fluid, contact a doctor immediately. 5.3.1 Coupling the hydraulic hose lines WARNING...
Table of Contents Turning the plough As a rule: All (hydraulically) actuated • components have shear and crush points. Maintain a safe distance! • Direct persons out of the • danger area! CAUTION Before each turning • procedure, make sure that THE PLOUGH SWEEPS OUT nobody is standing in the WHEN IT IS TURNED!
Turning the plough Turning with double-acting automatic cylinder The double-acting automatic cylinder is equipped with automatic reversing and hydraulic end position locking. This requires double-acting control unit on the tractor. The double-acting automatic cylinder can also be connected to a single-acting control unit, but this requires an oil return line to the oil tank of the tractor.
Table of Contents Connection to a single-acting control unit with oil return line to the tractor tank The switching process for turning is the same as with connection to a double-acting control unit, but reverse turning in position is not possible! Turning with double-acting automatic cylinder in conjunction with hydraulic beam pivoting The beam pivoting cylinder is combined with the turning cylinder.
Adjusting the plough Adjusting the plough General When using the plough for the first time, it is recommended that the diverse rough adjustments be carried out in the yard. If these adjustment recommendations are followed, it is generally only necessary to make small correcting adjustments on the field. The adjustments are made with the plough mounted on the tractor!

Adjusting the plough Pulling point setting The plough should generally be set so that there is no lateral pull on the tractor. Put lower lift arms in correct positon to avoid lateral pull. For normal usage the plough is set so that mounting body (A) runs centrally to the tractor tracks.
Table of Contents Precise front furrow adjustment For precise front furrow adjustment on the field, observe the following: Make the adjustments at a standstill. • • Relieve the slide block guide using the tractor rear hydraulic system. To do so, lift the plough out of the furrow and put it back down lightly, so that the slide block guide is relieved as much as possible.
Adjusting the plough Disc coulter adjustment 7.8.1 Disc coulter adjustment for standard After loosening the bolt and adjusting the swing arm A, the depth of the disc coulter is adjusted for the desired work depth so that the hub does not touch the ground. When adjusting swing arm (A), make sure that the toothed serrations slots together smoothly and that screw (S) is securely tightened.
Table of Contents 7.8.2 Disc coulter adjustment for Vario Only adjust the disc coulter in the direction of travel with the largest possible cutting width! After loosening the bolt and adjusting the swing arm S, the depth of the disc coulter is adjusted for the desired work depth so that the hub does not touch the ground.
Adjusting the plough 7.8.3 Disc coulter adjustment for automatic stone release After loosening bolt and adjusting the rocker bar A, the depth of the disc coulter is adjusted for the desired work depth so that the hub does not touch the ground. When adjusting rocker bar A, make sure that the cogs engage smoothly and that bolt is securely tightened.
Table of Contents Fertiliser skimmer The fertiliser skimmers must be set so that the working depth is approximately 1/3 of the plough body working depth. For large crop residues, it can also be set somewhat deeper. Should the fertiliser skimmers be obstructed by oversized crop remains, they can easily be removed by loosening 3 screws.
Adjusting the plough 7.10 Swivel arm for supporting a packer (1) Working width adjustment Position the swivel arm with pins in a suitable hole in the hole group and secure with a linch pin. Transport: Set the smallest working width. (2) Pegging position for pins in working position.

Table of Contents SEMI-automatic The semi-automatic stone release is used when there are so many stones in the soil that the shear bolt safety would react too often. The semi-automatic stone release functions as follows: When the plough body meets an obstacle (stone), roller pins (item 1) and bearing rollers (item 2) activate the catches (item 3) and thus compress the compression springs (item 4).
Overload safety device Automatic hydraulic stone release When the plough body meets an obstacle (stone), the plough beam element turns upwards through the ball joint. When the obstacle has been passed, the plough beam element falls back into original position. The whole procedure occurs without having to stop the tractor.
