CE sign The CE sign, which is affixed by the manufacturer, indicates outwardly that this machine conforms to the engineering guideline regulations and the other relevant EU guidelines. EU Declaration of Conformity (see supplement) By signing the EU Declaration of Conformity, the manufacturer declares that the machine being brought into service complies with all relevant safety and health requirements.
Preparations on the tractor General Please observe the power range limits of the tractor being used. Wheels - Air pressure in the tractor’s rear tyres when ploughing should be 0.8 bar. - Under difficult operating conditions additional wheel weights can be advantageous.
Hydraulic connection • If the tractor has a single-action servo-valve only, it is absolutely necessary to have an oil return line (T) professionally installed. - Connecting pressure line (1) and oil return line (2). 1 Single-action control unit Type SERVO, SERVO NOVA 1 Double-action control unit Type SERVO, SERVO NOVA + 1 Double-action control unit...
Attaching to the tractor Important advice: Supportstand in the working position Safety advice: • Insert pin only in the first hole (pos. 1). See supplement A1, Pt. 8a-h • Do not use holes in pos. 2 - 8 - Switch tractor’s hydraulics to control position. - otherwise support stand will be damaged when turning - Attach implement to lower link and secure with linch pin.
PRESETTING THE PLOUGH Before driving to the field Set furrow width Five furrow widths can be selected on the standard model (SERVO). The furrow width is set by swivelling the anchoring console. - Loosen both hexagonal screw (SK). - Remove rear hexagonal screw. - Swivel anchoring console until the required furrow width is obtained and the hexagonal screw fits into one of the borings (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).
Setting the plough to the tractor using "SERVOMATIC" „SERVOMATIC“ enables the optimum adaption of plough to tractor. The following setting controls should be carried out in order. • Never reach into the area where danger of crushing exists as long as parts are still moving. •...
Turning the plough over Beware! Nobody is to stand within the swinging range during turning. Turning procedure is only to be actuated from the tractor cabin. The plough must be completely raised to turn. The turning unit is equipped with a double-action cylinder and intergrated automatic reversing gear.
Ploughing with control hydraulic So that the hydraulic control functions properly, the following must be observed. - Position upper link (1) so that the attachment point (P1) on the plough during operation is somewhat higher than the attachment point (P2) on the tractor.
Shear bolts The ploughing components are fastened with shear bolts. When overloaded the shear bolts break (30) and the ploughing component swings away and up. - Remove the rest of the shear bolt. - Loosen hexagonal bolt (31). - Swing ploughing component back into the working position. - Insert new shear screws and retighten both bolts.
Fully automatic „Nonstop“ overload safety Nitrogen pressure in the gas accumulator (43) (Factory set) 80 bar The fully automatic overload safety is recommended for soils which are difficult to plough e.g. soil with stones or other foreign Pressure adjustment area of the hydraulic cylinder (40) bodies.
Gas accumulator (43): Pressure in the gas accumulator can also be altered. A reduction or increase of gas pressure in the accumulator depends upon the various soil types. • With very light soil the gas pressure can be somewhat reduced. Important! •...
General maintenance advice Cleaning the machine parts Take note! In order to keep the implement in good condition even after a long Do not use a high pressure cleaner to clean bearings or hydraulic service life, please observe the following points: parts.
Setting the ploughing component tilt If the plough is not penetrating the ground correctly, an improvement can be obtained by turning the eccentric bush. • The blade point in the area „S“ is set either higher or lower depending upon the position of the eccentric bush (A or B). •...
Setting the disk coulter • Set the cutting depth of the disk coulter at a gap of 5 cm to the ploughing blade tip. • The lengthwise fitting position is preselected by moving the carrier on the console. Further fitting positions arise by swivelling the eccentric (50) 180°.
Pre-ploughing implements: Maize skimmer, Manure skimmer These implements are designed to incorporate surface trash straw or manure in the soil. • Set the working depth to 1/3 of the total working depth. • The lengthwise fitting position should lie over or behind the ploughing blade tip.
Double feeler wheel • The double feeler wheel is fitted to the last ploughing component. • The working depth is set via the spindle (70) using the accompanying ratchet. • When ploughing with a 4 blade plough the double feeler wheel can be fitted to the second last ploughing component.
COMBI-wheel (Feeler and transport wheel) working position As feeler wheel • The working depth is set using the spindle (1) If the adjustment range of the spindle is insufficient, the working depth can be additionally set using both adjusting screws (2). In both turning positions the varying working depths can also be levelled out with the screws (2).
- Attach upper link and lift the plough with the tractor’s lifting gear. - Release locks (for safety reasons do this from the tractor seat with the rope Tyres SERVO 45, SERVO 55 With that swivel the control lever 90° (position A1). 10.0/75-12 10 PR - The turning unit positions the plough vertically.
Optional equipment Extension arm with hydraulic releasing device for packer and trailing implements • A double-action control unit is necessary on the tractor. • The extension arm is fitted to the main frame. • A T screw fitting with a plug-in coupling sleeve is fitted to the return line (T) on the plough turning cylinder. Working position •...
Disconnect the arm 1. Disconnect the hydraulic pipe (Hyd) 2. Take away the two axles (B1, B2) 3. Take the arm from the bearings Adjusting the amortisation effect With the arm two springs are delivered (F1,F2) They reduce shocks wenn the trailing implement is penetrating Depending on the weight of the trailing implement it is necessary to chose the right spring...
Vehicle Identification Plate • The implement’s exact designation and its fittings (frame height, component form, ...) are imprinted in the section „Type“. • The factory number is imprinted on the vehicle identification plate (as shown opposite) and on the attachment frame. Guarantee claims and queries cannot be processed without the serial number being supplied.

Important! Additional Information Combination of tractor and mounted implement The mounting of implements on the front or rear three point linkage shall not result in exceeding the maximum permissible weight, the permissible axle loads and the tyre load carrying capacities ot the tractor. The front axle of the tractor must always to be loaded with at least 20 % of the unladen weight of the tractor.

Important! Additional information Combination of tractor and mounted implement CALCULATION OF THE REAL FRONT AXLE LOAD T V tat (If with the front mounted implement (G ) the required minimum front ballasting (G ) cannot be reached, the weight of the front mounted V min implement has to be increased to the weight of the minimum ballasting at the front!) Record the calculated real front axle load and the permissible front axle load of the tractor into the table.
