    6.1. Attaching the plow to a base machine The plow is attached to the base machine by bolted STARK FIT quick hitches. The machine is connected to a hydraulic system. Hydraulic circuit diagrams can be found in a later section in this manual. Ask your retailer for available STARK FIT quick hitches.

    7. OPERATING THE PLOW Before using the plow make sure: the plow is installed correctly all locking pins are in place hydraulic hoses are connected right and properly hoses are intact there are no oil leaks all functions are working properly, and the support legs are adjusted to appropriate height for the terrain and conditions learn to operate the plow in a closed area before actually plowing 7.1.

  • Page 13: Adjusting Flatblades

    7.3. Adjusting flatblades Flat blades can be adjusted three times. Each time there will be about 45 mm wear edge on the blade. First when the blade is new, it is in the position of picture 7. When the blade edge wears out it is lowered and attached from the upper holes of the blade (picture 8).

    Picture 10. Turned and lowered blade 7.4. Adjusting perforated blades When adjusting perforated blades, the bolts can be removed by holding the bolt head with locking pliers and loosening the locking nut behind the blade. Also, when tightening, the bolt head will need to be held to enable the nut to be tightened.

  • Page 16: Anti-Damage System -Safety Mechanism

    7.5. Anti-Damage System -safety mechanism STARK Diagonal- and Butterfly plows come equipped with ADS-safety mechanism which protect the plow in case of collision. When user drives to an obstacle, safety mechanism yields which prevents the plow or its parts to be damaged (pictures 14 and 15).

    Picture 15. Anti-damage system when the plow hits an obstacle 7.6. Relief valve Pay attention to the functioning of the relief valve when turning the wings. If driving with the wings in extreme position, the cylinder piston is at the end of the chamber and the relief valve cannot function. When operating the plow, leave approx.

  • Page 18: Adjusting The Relax -Blade System

    7.7. Adjusting the RELAX -blade system RELAX -release mechanism keeps the blades locked. The plowing result is even and formation of packed snow decreases. When the blade hits an obstacle the release mechanism opens allowing the blade frame to turn backwards and the blade to go over the obstacle.
  • Page 19 Picture 18. RELAX -mechanism during collision The amount of pressure which releases the lock can be adjusted by changing the angle of the joints. Larger the angle, the more easily the lock releases. When the adjustment nut is tightened (picture 19) less pressure is required and when the nut is loosened more pressure is required.
  • Page 20 Picture 20. RELAX -mechanism minimum angle is 5° Rigidity of the spring can be adjusted by the tension nut under the spring (picture 21). Shortest permitted length for the spring is 175 mm when blade is released, then the spring is pre-strained by 25 mm. At the factory the spring is pre strained by 15 mm.
  • Page 21 7.8. Floating Frame -technology STARK plows have FLOATING FRAME -flotation system. FLOATING FRAME -technology enables the plow to closely follow the ground with vertical and horizontal flotation independent from the base machine. FLOATING FRAME -system is located by the fittings and this location together with the sliding plates reduce bouncing of the plow while working.

  • Page 22: Pin Float -Technology

    7.9. Pin Float -technology Pin float- technology allows the plow to float freely without the implement being controlled by the base machine. Floating is effected by means of pins, sleeves and floating slots in the implement frame (pictures 23 and 24). The studs have greasing which improves the rotation of the hardened sleeves and significantly reduces wear.

  • Page 23: Transferring The Plow

    7.10. Transferring the plow Lift the plow high enough and reduce speed if needed, especially on bumpy, uneven roads. The plow or the base machine can be damaged due to excessive speed. 7.11. Detaching the plow Lower the plow to an even ground on its support plates. Turn off the base machine, put on the parking brake and release pressure from the system.
