Provides good coverage of crop residues and organic fertilizers. Allows for a large space to be maintained between the plough bodies. Skimmer Recommended for efficient deep ploughing on soils with a large amount of crop residues and stubble (especially corn for medium to shallow ploughing) and organic fertilizers.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for any unauthorised alternation of the plough. Only genuine original MANDAM spare parts shall be used during the warranty period. The plough must be operated with all precautionary measures, in particular: •...
• move forward, lift and lower the roller slowly and smoothly without sudden jerks, making sure that nobody stays in the vicinity, • do not reverse and make U-turns when the implement is lowered to the working position, • when making U-turns do not use independent tractor brakes, •...
• do not connect and disconnect hydraulic hoses when the tractor hydraulic system is pressurised (hydraulics set to neutral position), • check regularly the conditions of connections and hydraulic hoses, • do not use the implement until the hydraulic system is repaired. 3.4.
The user shall be liable for any damage caused by failure to observe the rules. 3.5. Residual risk description Mandam Sp. z o.o. makes every effort to eliminate the risk of accidents. However,...
there is some residual risk that may cause an accident. The biggest hazard occurs when/during: • using the implement for purposes other than described in the manual, • operating the implement by people who are underage and do not have licences, are ill or intoxicated, •...

4.1. Preparing the plough The plough is usually delivered for sale in a ready-to-operate condition. Due to the limitations of the means of transport, it is also possible to deliver it in a partially disassembled condition. Prior to operation check the technical condition of the plough, in particular that of the working parts and screw connections.
for 4-5 furrow plough, in extreme cases 3-furrow plough. • A fixed hole prevents the plough from rising up on heavy and stony soils. Use for 2- 3 furrow ploughs. Larger ploughs Smaller ploughs Fig. 7 Using a suitable connection to the plough upper fastener. 4.4.
4.5. Adjustment of the ploughing width 4.5.1 ORKAN and ORKAN RESOR plough To change the working width of the ORKAN plough, first, change the angle of the bodies to the frame bar. To this end: • unscrew the M20 and remove the bolt from the hole, •...
Ploughing width adjustment screw Lock nut Fig. 10 Adjustment of the ORKAN plough ploughing width. 4.5.2 ORKAN VARIO plough The ORKAN VARIO plough is equipped for an infinitely adjustable ploughing width. Changing the ploughing width is possible thanks to the use of a hydraulic actuator. The ploughing width can be infinitely adjusted from 30 to 50 cm.
4.6. First furrow-slice adjustment The width of the first furrow-slice should correspond to the width of the other furrow-slices, however the following should be taken into account too: • resultant compensation of the plough’s operating resistance, • while using broad tractor tyres, the width of the first furrow-slice should be reduced to ensure proper fitting to the front furrow-slices, •...
Transverse leveling screws Fig. 12 Screws used for transverse levelling of the plough. 4.8. Working depth adjustment. When attaching the upper fastener to the longitudinal holes, it is necessary to set the furrow depth by means Wheel adjustment tractor’s hydraulic adjustment crank (force/positional)
4.9. Coulter disc blade A properly set coulter disc blade should work: • maximum at half the working depth of the body, • at the distance of 1 - 3 cm from the landside, • at 1/3 of its diameter at maximum, •...
4.10. Plough share The plough share is bolted to a bracket that is B holes mounted on the mouldboard. This bracket has two holes (A) – for shallow and deep ploughing. There are two longitudinal holes in the bracket to be adjusted according to conditions.

4.13. Assembly and disassembly of the last pair of bodies Ploughs marked with the 3+ and 4+ symbol can be fitted with a bar with a pair of plough bodies. Before commencing assembly or disassembly, place the plough stably on an even/firm surface. Screw Use lifting and transport means for work.
5 Operation of ORKAN / ORKAN VARIO / ORKAN RESOR plough Daily maintenance At the end of the each working session, clean the plough thoroughly off soil and plant residues. Inspect the screw, bolt and pin connections and the condition of the working components and other parts.
Lubricate all lubrication points until bearings or friction surfaces are filled with grease. Remove any grease residues. Excessive grease causes dust and soil particles to coat. Fig. 13 Lubrication points of the ORKAN plough. 5.2. Worn out components Cutting working parts (share point, plough share, mouldboard shin) should be used only till the cutting element is levelled with the supporting element (plough standard shoe).
CAUTION! It is forbidden to work on a damaged machine caused by any event resulting in a broken, or deformed frame, roller or other assembly of the machine! 5.3. Screw tightening torque Screws, bolts and nuts should be tightened in the machine with the appropriate torque depending on the strength class of the bolt and its thread size and pitch.
5.4. Securing bolts If the plough body meets an obstacle, the securing bolt is shorn. After the plough is lifted for the screw replacement, the body will not return to its original Shear position automatically. Rotate and position it bolt accordingly.
leakage. Check the sealing once the piston rod is fully moved out. Small leakage which results in covering the piston rod with an oil film is acceptable (damaged wiper seal). If the amount of oil is greater or there are oil drops, shut down the unit for the period required to repair the malfunction (damaged sealing).
