ATTACHING TO THE TRACTOR

- 6 -

Lifting gear

- Left and right lifting struts (4) must be of equal length.

Adjust using adjusting device (3).

- If the lifting struts on the lower link can be pinned variously, then

select the back position (H). In so doing the tractor’s hydraulic unit

will not be heavily loaded.

- Position (2) the upper link (1) according to the tractor manufacturer’s

information.

Setting-up for transportation

- Fix the lower link with the struts (5) so that the attached implement

cannot swing out during transportation.

- The hydraulic’s operating lever must be secured against lowering.

- Be aware of the total height of the implement (max. 4m).

If necessary, change from the ”ON-LAND” method to the

”CONVENTIONAL ploughing” method.

Setting-up for ploughing

- Set the struts (5), see also "Setting the drawing point" on page 9.

Hydraulic control on the lifting gear

Control position:

• For ploughing

• For attaching/detaching

the implement, and road

transportation

Preparations on the tractor

Wheels

- Air pressure in the tractor’s rear tyres when ploughing should be

0.8 bar.

- Under difficult operating conditions additional wheel weights can

be advantageous. See the tractor manufacturer’s operating manual

also.

Ballast weight

Sufficient ballast weights are to be stacked on the front

of the tractor in order to guarantee steering and braking

capabilities.

At least 20% of the tractor’s tare weight on the front axle.

External measurement

The outside rear wheel measurement (A2) should not be greater

than 2,5 m. More than 2,5 m constricts manoeuvrability.

Wheel gap

Wheel gap (A1) should be between 1,3 m - 1,5 m.

Side pull (see also "Setting the drawing point " on page 9)

• If plough pulls tractor to ploughed side

- reduce gap "A1" (if possible)

• If plough pulls tractor to unploughed side

- increase gap "A1" (if possible)

OPERATION

- 15 -

Optional equipment:

Hydraulic cutting width adjustment (SERVO PLUS)

A hydraulic cylinder actuates the adjusting unit. Therefore an

additional double-action control unit is necessary on the tractor.

Limitless cutting width adjustment can be carried out during

ploughing. The drawing line position is not influenced by this (see

"Setting the drawing point (Z)").

Advantages:

- accurate ploughing along boundaries.

- ploughing around obstacles (masts, trees, etc.).

0200-GB EINSATZ_985

OPERATION

- 16 -

Turning at the end of the field (W)

• The turning area (W) at the end of the field should be 16-22 m wide.

The size depends upon the tractor's total width.

• The tractor's lifting gear is not needed during turning.

TD 45/95/19

Take care when turning on slopes!

The tractor's driving characteristics are influenced by the weight of the plough.

This can lead to dangerous situations, especially on slopes.

Turning phases (a, b, c, d)

a. At the end of the field steer tractor to the ploughed side

- Start turning procedure

Move control unit (ST) to (s)

- Interrupt turning procedure (Pos. 30 - 45 °)

Move control unit (ST) to (0)

b. Steer tractor to unploughed side

Because of the plough position(Pos. 30 - 45 °), turning can be carried out without

interruption.

c. Raise plough rear

The support wheel's hydraulic cylinder (8a) is actuated using the single action control unit.

- Start turning procedure

Move control unit (ST) to (s) until the new working position is reached.

d. Start the new furrow

- Lower plough rear

The support wheel's hydraulic cylinder (8a) is actuated using the single-action control unit.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

- 19 -

Basic setting of the ploughing component

Checks must be made in the following order after replacing worn out parts:

1. Stand the plough on even ground.

2. The gap (A) between plough and blade cutting edege must be the same for all ploughing components.

3. Check the gap (B1) on the last ploughing component.

B1 = 0 - 5 mm for ploughing components* of the type W, UWS

10 - 20 mm for ploughing components* of the type UW, UWS, WSS

4. Set the same measurement for gap (B) as for B1.

* The type of ploughing component is shown clearly on the manufacturer’s plate.

Setting the ploughing component tilt

If the plough is not penetrating the ground correctly, an improvement

can be obtained by turning the eccentric bush.

• The blade point in the area „S“ is set either higher or lower depending

upon the position of the eccentric bush (A or B).

• Retighten screws after resetting.

On some models a catch plate is fitted instead of an eccentric bush.

See "Basic setting of the ploughing component" also.

(943) 9500 GB ZUSÄTZE - 20 -

ADDITIONAL DEVICES

(* Beware! Danger of injury on the cutting edges.

Setting the disk coulter (*

• Set the cutting depth of the disk coulter at a gap of 5 cm to the

ploughing blade tip.

• The lengthwise fitting position is preselected by moving the carrier

on the console.

Further fitting positions arise by swivelling the eccentric (50)

180°.

• The lateral gap to the

ploughing blade tip

should be 2 - 3 cm.

It is set by swiveling

the eccentric (50).

Spring loaded disk coulter (*

- This disk coulter can be fitted to all SERVO NOVA ploughs with a

frame height from 72 cm.

Pre-ploughing implements

Maize skimmer, Manure skimmer

These implements are designed to incorporate surface trash

straw or manure in the soil.

• Set the working depth to 1/3 of the total working depth.

• The lengthwise fitting position should lie over or behind the

ploughing blade tip. Where there is a lot of surface growth, or

when ploughing in straw, the pre-ploughing implements should

be set back as far as possible.

Leg deflector (60)

Leg deflector, which are fitted to the ploughing component, serve

to bend the stalks less when ploughing in straw enabling them to

slide off better.

Trashboards (61)

For ploughing in manure or other fertilizers.

• Trashboards for ploughing components of the type UW, W, WSS.

These implements can be used instead of manure mulchers (see

above) but are not very effective with shallow working depths.

Knife coulter (62) (*

This implement can be used instead of a disk coulter (see above)

however it is not adjustable.
