AACRP
Introduction
The AACRP plow has a modern and rugged structure with a better
weight distribution. This equipment allow operations with the tractor
over unworked ground, far from the furrow. It can be normally used
on tractors with dual wheelset.
Equipped moldboards with two cutting faces that provides
excellent penetration, clod breaking and stubble incorporation.
The moldboards have a cylindrical shape with high capacity of
land fragmentation and also have an automatic retrieving set that is
activated by an elastic deformation of the flat spring, returning the
moldboards to working position instantly, being just necessary to lift
the equipment.
Special coating with high density polyethylene that reduces the
effort and the friction with the ground and also has a superior wear
resistance.
This operator's manual contains the necessary information for
the best performance of this plow. The operator must carefully read
the entire manual before working with the equipment. Also, read and
understand the safety recommendations.
For any further clarification or in the event of technical problems
that may arise during the service, consult your dealer and the
Technical Support department of the factory. They can ensure the
fully functioning of your Civemasa plow.

Transportation over truck or trailer
To the operator
Civemasa does not advise the equipment traffic on highways, because this
practice involves serious security risks in addition to being prohibited by the
current existing traffic law. The transportation for long distances should be
done on truck, trailer or other by following these safety guidelines:
• Use adequate ramps to load or unload the equipment. Do not make the loading
on ditch banks, it can cause a serious accident.
• When lifting with a hoist, use the appropriate points to lift.
• Underpin the equipment appropriately.
• Use chock blocks and safety chains to secure the equipment to the truck or
trailer during the transport.
• Make sure the SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) sign, and all the lights and reflectors
that are required by the local highway and transport autorithies are in place,
are clean and can be seen clearly by all overtaking and oncoming traffic.
• After 8 to 10 km transporting, please inspect the load condition. Repeat this
procedure every 80 to 100 km. Give more attention when transporting the
equipment on rough roads, slopes and other adverse conditions.
• Always be careful with the load height, especially when passing under electrical
power lines, bridges and others.
• Check all laws and regulations regarding the height limits and load width while
transporting the equipment to the truck or trailer. If necessary use banners,
lights and other devices in order to give adequate warning to the other drivers.

Set-up instructions
Preparing the tractor
The following instructions must be carefully observed in order to get the best working
performance.
NOTE
Quick coupling (hanger type)
AA
Check the general conditions for using the tractor, especially the good functioning of
the hydraulic system (three-point hitch).
The addition of water ballasts on the tires or a set of weights on the front part/rear
wheels of the tractor are the most used ways to increase the traction over soil and to give
a greater stability to the tractor.
When transporting the plow or lifting it for maneuvers, check the tractor
manual to be sure about the necessary weight to not affect the stability of the
tractor-plow set. Without this proper weight distribution, serious accidents
or even death may occur.
Civemasa is not responsible for the incorrect use of the equipment.
The quick coupling (hanger type) (A) comes equipped to the tractor to facilitate and
give greater security.
With the fast coupling, the operator can perform the plow hitching from the seat.
Choose a place as flat as possible for hitching.
Drive the tractor slowly in reverse gear in order to get closer to the plow and be ready
to brake. After hitching, lift the plow until it clicks lock.
For a perfect coupling, the plow must be centralized with the tractor.
Align the tractor quick coupling with the plow drawbar.
