    Safety Safety This chapter contains general safety instructions for this product. Each chapter of the operating manual contains additional specific safety in- formation. Safety decals For your safety, safety decals are placed on important parts of the plough. Please do not remove them. If they become illegible or begin to peel off, replace them with the appropriate spare stickers.
  • Page 6 Safety Meaning The meaning of the safety decals is pointed out below. Read the operation manual and follow the instructions. The plough must only be used for the first time once the operating manual has been read and understood. Do not stand between the tractor and the plough Standing between the tractor and plough increases the risk of being crushed.

  • Page 7: General Safety Information

    Safety General safety Please read and ensure you understand the following general safety information. Specific safety information is pointed out in the relevant information chapters. General Read and ensure you understand the instructions Before starting to operate the plough, read the operating manual and follow the instructions.

  • Page 9 Use only genuine Kverneland spare parts. Other products may ad- versely affect the correct operation of the plough and safety. The war- ranty will no longer be valid if parts not produced by Kverneland are used. Check the tyre pressure Regularly check to ensure the tyre pressure meets the requirements.

  • Page 10: Getting To Know The Plough

    The plough can only turn with the bodies over the frame. When the plough turns with the bodies over, it ensures the plough turns smoothly. EO-LO is an on-land model, and cannot turn with the bodies under the frame. Otherwise, the bodies will collide with the ground.

  • Page 15: Optional Equipment

    Optional equipment Optional equipment This section gives an overview of the optional equipment for the EO/ LO plough. Limitations apply. Please contact your Kverneland dealer for more information. Skimmer Recommended for effective burial of residues on the field. Two types of skimmers are available - manure skimmers and maize skimmers.
  • Page 16 Optional equipment Landside knife An alternative to disc coulters, when reduction in weight may be nec- essary or when blockage from trash or stones is likely. Good in com- bination with skimmers, and fits in combination with all types of shares Eco share A share for working 10cm deeper than the plough's normal share and breaking up the topsoil.
  • Page 17 Optional equipment Quick-fit share Reduces the downtime when replacing the points. Can be fitted to all plough bodies. Very good ground penetration. Furrow splitter Designed for mounting to any part of the mouldboard, to cut through firm soil, making subsequent operations easier. The splitter is secured with a screw in the existing hole in the mouldboard.
  • Page 18 Optional equipment Wear plate Can be fitted on the landsides, to reduce wearing of the landsides. Fitted to the rear end of the landside as a usable wearing part. Depth and transport It is highly recommended that a depth wheel is used on all ploughs. A wide range of depth wheels is available for the plough.
  • Page 19 Hydraulic release As an alternative to the leaf spring construction, a hydraulic release, consisting of a single-acting cylinder, can be supplied (EO). The leaf spring is then equipped with a hydraulic cylinder which is connected to an accumulator used to regulate the pressure to ensure a release force suited to uneven ground conditions..

  • Page 33 Driving on the road NB! The plough is lowered gently until the transport wheels rest on the ground and the top linkage can be released from the plough. NB! Must always be uncoupled during transport. During transport, the plough must always be stabilised at the sides.
