WARNING STICKERS General Instructions The LEMKEN Euro-Titan is equipped with all features to ensure safe operation. Where potential danger areas of the implement can not be fully safeguarded, warning stickers are fitted which draw attention to these. Damaged, lost or unreadable warning stickers must be replaced immediately.
PREPARATION OF TRACTOR Three point linkage The three point linkage must be strong enough when working with the plough. The maximum torque acting on the three point linkage is approximately 47.000 Nm (4.700 kpm) during turnover operation. Adjust lift rods to equal length. (See manufacturer’s instructions.) Check Chains or Sway Blocks Check chains or sway blocks MUST be adjusted so that the lower links are fixed in their middle position.
4.5.2 Hydraulic assembly with constant pressure-system/Load-Sensing-System Implement sided colour marking Pressure connection Flow = red Electric control valve Return pipe connection Return flow = red Load-Sense-connection LS-pipe = red The hydraulic assembly must have an operating pressure of minimum 160 bar. An oil flow of at least 30 l/min is a precondition for a quick turnover operation.
ELECTRONIC PLOUGH CONTROL The turnover device, the trailer hydraulic and the locking and lifting procedure of the rear plough frame controlled automatically via the electronic plough control SVT-R 360. The plough control consists of a job computer (JR) and an operator terminal (BT).
Operator terminal The operator terminal (BT) is connected to the job calculator (JR) via the plug (JK) and the connection cable . After operating the switch (EA) and connecting the connection cables to the ploug according to DIN 9680 the plough is ready to work.
Rotary potentiometer and sensors In order to ensure a troublefree handling of the plough on the headland, each hydraulic function will be controlled by rotary potentiometer (DP) sensors (SF) and (SH). rotary potentiometer placed behind the turnover mechanism and the sensors in the area of the trailer.
ATTACHING AND DETACHING THE PLOUGH Attaching to the Tractor Attach the plough which must be parked in half-turned working position as follows: Set tractor hydraulics to 'Position − Control'. Turn headstock so that drawbar (13) is − parallel to the ground. Attach lower links to the drawbar (13) −...
Detaching from the Tractor The plough must always be parked in middle position and on level and firm ground. Set tractor hydraulics to 'Position − Control'. Turn plough frame into the middle − position (see instruction book for the electronic plough control SVT-R 360). Close lock valves (SP).
Hitch frame The headstock (7) of the Euro-Titan ploughs can be equipped with a headstock extension (TV) with suited drawbar, when the plough shall be fitted to a tractor with Hitch frame. The headstock extension (TV) with top link pin will be fitted to the headstock (7) as shown in the picture.
TURNING ON HEADLANDS When the headland – which should be 20 m to 25 m wide depending on the tractor and the No. of furrows of the plough – is reached, the tractor will be steered to the ploughed land, the front plough frame lifted in front and then the left Auto-button (3) pressed.
TRANSPORT For transport the front plough frame will be lifted in front and then in the operation menu transport of the SVT-R 360 the left hand Auto-button (3) pressed. Now the front plough frame will be lifted in the rear first and then the rear plough frame and locked automatically.
OF-CONVERSION The OF-conversion will be done with plough fitted to the tractor. From F-operation to O-operation Lift the front and the rear plough frame completely and turn to working position. Set tractor in an angle of 90° to the plough frame and lower plough frame in front and rear.
ADJUSTMENTS 10.1 Distance between tractor and furrow wall in O-operation During work the distance between tractor and furrow wall will be adjusted by means of the turnbuckle (19). • Turnbuckle longer = wider distance • Turnbuckle shorter = narrower distance 10.2 Front furrow width in F-operation The front furrow width will be adjusted by means of the turnbuckle (19).
10.4 Pull-point adjustment By means of changing the position of bolt (ZP) the vertical pull-point can be adjusted: Fit bolt (ZP) in a higher hole (BZ) => higher pull point. Fit bolt (ZP) in a deeper (BZ) => deeper pull point. After each adjustment the pins must be fitted again and secured.

When changing the working width per body the turnbuckles (X) and (Y) must be adjusted counter-rotating by the same amount so that first the trailer is aligned parallel to the working direction and second the front furrow width of the rear plough frame corresponds to the other plough bodies.
All Euro-Titan and Euro-Titan X ploughs are fitted with shearbolts (40) as standard. IMPORTANT: Only genuine LEMKEN shearbolts should be used. There is a serious risk of damage if other bolts are used and any warranty will be void. Be very careful of the guillotine effect of a pivoting leg assembly and its support plates.
AUTOMATIC NON-STOP OVERLOAD SAFETY DEVICE The automatic overload safety device protects the plough from damage when an obstacle is encountered. The mechanism breaks back upon impact automatically returns the body to the working position once the obstacle has been passed. Additionally, each leg is fitted with a shearbolt (40) for protection when the body 'hooks' an obstacle.
BODIES 13.1 Penetration angle The basic adjustment has been carried through in the factory. But after each change of shares or mouldboards the adjustment must be checked. Therefore lift the plough a few centimetres. After that check whether the distance between the point and the plough frame is equal with all bodies.
SKIM COULTERS 14.1 General instructions The skim coulters (65) should be finally set when the plough is operating at the required depth and speed. The skim point should be set to a depth between 5 and 10 cm (2 - 4 in) and the tip of the point set to run 2 - 3 cm (3/4 - 1 1/4 in) to the landslide of the body.
14.3 Angle adjustment Adjust the depth of flat stalk skims (66) by means of the adjuster pins (67). Use clamping screw (69) for depth adjustment with skimmer having a round stalk (68). The angle is not adjustable with those skimmers which have their flat stalk fitted directly to the leg bracket.
COULTERS 15.1 Sword Coulters Sword coulters (73) are available. They are recommended tough heavy conditions. 15.2 Disc coulters When fitted, disc coulters (93) should be set to a working depth of 7 - 9 cm (2 ¾ - 3 ½ in) and 2 - 3 cm (¾ - 1 ¼ in) to the landside ofthe body. Adjust depth by slackening setscrew (90), move arm (91) as required, after checking that serrations of bracket (92) and arm (91) mesh correctly, securely tighten setscrew (90).
WIDE FURROW CUTTERS (in F-operation, only) If the tractor is equipped with wide tyres, it is recommendable to use a wide furrow cutter (BFM). This wide furrow cutter must be fitted to the landslide (84) of the rear body. If the plough is equipped with C-bodies, to the rear body the landslide 340 1450 must be fitted so that the holder (HL) or (HR) of the wide furrow cutter can be fitted.
SUBSOILERS The subsoiler UD6 will be fitted as shown in the sketch. By means of displacing the stalk (102) the working depth of the subsoiler can be adjusted. Maximum working depth = 20 cm Minimum working depth = 14 cm For the adjustment of the working depth the pin (104) must be unlocked and pulled out and the stalk (102) removed accordingly in the bracket...
TRASHBOARDS Bolt carrier (78) of the trashboard (77) to the holes provided in the top of the mouldboard (79). Fit trashboard (77) to the carrier and adjust for optimum trash 'mix'. Adjust support-bolt (80) so that it touches the leg. Secure bolt (80) by means of locknut (81).
MAINTENANCE The Euro-Titan plough requires a little maintenance, only. All pivot points must be greased regularly with an environmentally friendly grease according to the following table. For a long operation break all shiny areas of wearing parts, exposed areas of ram rods, pins and adjusting devices must be greased. Lubrication each Before and...
Points are blunt. Bolt (ZP) is fitted too high. Remedy: a) Increase distance between point and frame (not more than 2 cm). Use genuine Lemken hardfaced points. Fit bolt (ZP) into a lower bore (U). Failure: Plough is heavy to pull Reason: a) Penetration angle is too large.
