- Page 3 Only use genuine LEMKEN spare-parts. Spurious parts negatively influence the function of the implement, show a shorter lifetime and increase in nearly all cases the maintenance effort. We trust that you will understand that LEMKEN is unable to guarantee poor op- eration and damage caused by using spurious parts!

Page 16: Preparation Of The Tractor
Preparation of the Tractor PREPARATION OF THE TRACTOR Tyres The pressure - especially in the rear tractor tyres - must be equal. In heavy condi- tions it may be necessary to add wheel weights and/or water ballast. (See manu- facturer’s instructions). Lift Rods Adjust lift rods to equal length. -
Page 17: Control
Preparation of the Tractor Control For operation and transport the tractor hydraulic is to be switched to “position con- trol”. See manufacturer's instructions! Tractor output A tractor with an output of more than 100 kW must be available for the VariTan- sanit with the Hybridcontrol electronic plough control system. -
Page 18: Power Supply
Preparation of the Tractor Power Supply For the electronic control and the lighting equipment a power supply of 12 V is re- quired. See section "Required Sockets". Excess voltage and undervoltage lead to a breakdown and can destroy electric components. For connecting the electronic control to the tractor battery use the delivered battery mounting set (1) with a fuse (2) of 40 A and a plug-in coupling (3) with lock clip (4). -

Preparation of the Tractor 4.10 Required Sockets For the electric use of the implement the following sources of electricity must be available at the tractor: Direct connection to Voltage Socket the tractor battery Electronic Control according to Lighting Equipment DIN-ISO 1724... -
Page 20: Axle Loads
Preparation of the Tractor 4.11 Axle Loads The attachment of implements to the front- and rear-three point linkage must not lead to exceeding the allowed total weight, the allowed axle load and the allowed tyre load of the tractor. The tractor front axle must always be loaded with 20 % of the tractor dead weight at minimum. -
Page 21: Changing Axle Loads
Preparation of the Tractor 4.12 Changing axle loads The hydraulic upper link is used to permanently transfer weight from the plough to the tractor. This not only improves traction, it also enhances the tractor's stability on an incline. The weight percentage for the turning operation is set ex-factory and can be altered at any given time if required. -

General Instructions Before the first use it is recommendable - with fully lowered implement - to carry out the following adjustments at the farm. Afterwards only few adjustment correc- tions have to be carried out in the field. Electronic plough control - Hybridcontrol Switch on electronic plough control system on the control terminal (see arrow)! Top Link Control... -
Page 23: Skimmers
Skimmers The skimmers should be set to a depth be- tween 5 and 10 cm. If the required working depth of the plough is 25 cm, the skimmers should be adjusted so that the distance A between the point of the skimmer and point of the plough body amounts to 15 to 20 cm. -
Page 24: Three Point Attachment
Three Point Attachment 5.5.1 General Instructions The category of the three point linkage must be the same with the implement as well as with the tractor. If there is no correspondence, either the three point linkage of the tractor must be adapted or the drawbar (1) and if required the top link pin must be replaced by a corresonding version. - Page 25 Read and adhere to the General Safety Instructions as well as to the Instructions ’Mounted implements’!
