Overload safety devices OVERLOAD SAFETY DEVICES 13.1 Shearing protection The plough bodies release upwards when the shear bolt is over- loaded. Never stand in the release area of the plough bodies while WARNING ploughing and/or performing maintenance work. Always ensure that there is adequate safety clearance. Risk of crushing! Moving parts in the area of the shearing protection may cause crushing and shearing injuries.

Overload safety devices 13.2 Hydromatic hydraulic overload protection  Read and observe the information in the "Safety and protective measures" section and the specific safety notice "Danger from hydraulic systems".  Never stand in the plough elements danger zone while plough- ing work is in progress! DANGER The plough elements release upwards when overloaded.
Page 112: Setting The Release Force
Overload safety devices 13.2.2 Setting the release force The hydraulic overload protection enables various operating pressures to be set; a low operating pressure should be selected for flat and easy ground conditions and a higher pressure for difficult ground conditions. Standard equipment A shut-off valve (1) is located below the pressure gauge (2).
Page 113 Overload safety devices To increase pressure:  set the control unit for the depth wheel to P; the depth wheel is raised  Open shut-off valve (1a), see figure. The pressure gauge (2) display indicates the final pressure as soon as the - depth wheel is lifted.
Page 114 Overload safety devices Lower pressure:  set the control unit for the depth wheel to T; the depth wheel (3) is lowered  Open shut-off valve (1a). The pressure gauge (2) display indicates the final pressure as soon as the depth wheel is lowered.
Page 115 Overload safety devices After connecting the adjusting valve unit (1) to a spool valve on the tractor, the sys- tem is ready to operate with the factory set maximum and minimum operating pres- sure. If necessary, these operating pres- sures can be individually adjusted using the rotary knobs (2) and (3) and read from the pressure gauge (4): ...
Page 116 Overload safety devices Setting the minimum operating pressure: Increasing the minimum operating pres- sure:  Turn the rotary knob (3) clockwise. Reducing the minimum operating pressure:  Turn the rotary knob (3) anti-clockwise. While working, the tractor control unit must be switched to float position, otherwise overload protection is not guaranteed if several plough elements are released simultaneously.
Page 117: Depressurising The Hydraulic System
Overload safety devices 13.2.3 Depressurising the hydraulic system Always depressurise the hydraulic system before performing maintenance or re- pair work, for instance. To do so, pressure must be released via the spool valve of the depth wheel as follows. Risk of injury due to incorrectly performed maintenance work DANGER Incorrect maintenance and repair work jeopardise operational safety.
Page 118 Overload safety devices Equipment without traction increase device  Set the spool valve to P. o The depth wheel is raised. Set the chassis to the lowest working depth to ensure the plough bodies with overload safety device have sufficient clearance to the ground and can be low- ered after releasing the pressure.
Page 119 Overload safety devices Equipment with traction increase device:  Release pressure in the traction in- crease device as follows via the spool valve of the depth wheel:  The shut-off valve (1) is open.  Set the spool valve for the depth wheel to P and keep hold of it until the pres- sure gauge indicator (2) drops to 0 bar.
Page 120 Overload safety devices Equipment with comfort valve (4)  Set the spool valve to P. o The depth wheel is raised. Set the chassis to the lowest working depth to ensure the plough bodies with overload safety device have sufficient clearance to the ground and can be low- ered after releasing the pressure.
