2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Compliance with the instructions in this handbook is also important since Manufacturer
declines all and every responsibility for damage to persons or property caused by
negligence and failure to comply with these instructions.
This Plough is equipped with heavy-duty frame specially designed for deep
ploughing/land preparation of rough soil. It is designed to work in all types of soil for basic
functions such as soil breaking, soil raising and soil turning. It can handle the toughest
ploughing job with outstanding penetration performance.
Regular and satisfactory operations together with economic and long lasting use of the
implement depend on the compliance with instructions given in this handbook.
This handbook contains the use and maintenance instructions with a list of the spare
parts of the Plough.
1. INTRODUCTION
† Do not let anyone to stand between the machine and the tractor when you back up to
hitch.
† In the case of three-point linkage mounting, ensure that the tractor balls and the
mounting pins of the implement are of the same category.
2.2 Safety while connecting hydraulic lines
† Never attempt to attach the machine if the pins, tractor hitching balls, tractor draw bar or
machine linkage are worn, cracked or not compatible.
2.1 Safety while attaching and detaching
† Remove pressure from hydraulic lines before disconnecting them.
† The hydraulic circuit is highly pressurised.
† When driving on roads with the implement raised, the raise-lower control must be locked
to prevent accidental lowering.
† Before leaving the tractor to hitch or unhitch, set tractor parking brakes.
† Before mounting or dismounting implements on / from the three-point linkage, move the
raise-lower control to the position at which accidental rising or lowering cannot take
place. Completely lower the machine to the ground before unhitching. Make sure it is on
a level and firm surface.
† Before leaving the machine for storage, make sure it is a safe place and that there is no
risk to damage whether anything or anyone.
† Never use your hands to locate a hydraulic leak. Hydraulic fluids escaping under
pressure have sufficient force to penetrate the skin, causing severe injury. In case of any
injury, see a doctor immediately.
2
† Wear close fitting clothing and appropriate safety devices for the job you have to do
(heavy leather gloves, safety shoes, earplugs, etc.).
† If any unusual vibration is heard or felt, stop the machine. Find the problem and solve it
before starting operation again.
† Do not allow anyone to stand close to pivot points. On all pivoting parts actuated by
power assistance (e.g. hydraulics), there exists danger of injury by bruising and
crushing.
† Do not extend turnbuckle adjusters too much to avoid any threads damaging or
ultimately pulling out.
† Do not allow anyone to stand close to the machine.
† Learn how to operate your machine and how to use its controls. Do not let anyone
operate without instruction.
† Never attempt any operation on machine while it is in motion.
† Only one person (the operator) should be in tractor’s cab when it is operation. No one on
the machine while working or while traveling on the road.
† If your machine is equipped with a hydraulic folding mechanism, always use it from
tractor’s cab, once you are sure that folding area is free from spectators or obstacles.
2.4 Safety for Maintenance
† Maintenance area should be clean, dry, with enough light and ventilation.
† Before connecting hydraulic circuit, make sure that there is no pressure on both sides,
(tractor and machine).
† The operator should familiarize himself / herself with all controls and their functions
before starting work.
† Always use tools or equipments appropriate to the job you are doing. All related tools are
provided along with the implement.
† Regularly check hydraulic lines and connections. Replace any damaged or leaking
component by an original part with the same specifications. The replacement pipes must
comply with the technical specification laid down by FIELDKING.
† Before any operation on the hydraulic equipment, lower the machine to the ground and
release the hydraulic pressure where possible and switch off the tractor engine.
† When connecting hydraulic rams, the pipes must be connected as directed.
2.3 Safety while operating the machine
† Do not attempt to do any adjustment if you have not perfectly understood its procedure.
† For any operation on the machine on raised position, always securely support all

nuts.
All FIELDKING equipments shall be used, complying with the area’s current rules and
laws concerning safety instructions, accident prevention and provision of Highway
Code.
† Maintenance operations on elements under pressure or under tension require specific
procedures and equipments. Only qualified persons shall perform them in appropriate
conditions.
† For replacing any parts with cutting edges, always use suitable tools and gloves.
† Tractor used for road transport shall have the same power rating and weight as the one
used for field operations.
† When driving on public roads with a raised machine, the lifting control lever should be
locked against unintentional lowering.
† Regularly check hitching pins, change them if necessary. Tractor’s ball joint may also
wear, do not hesitate to replace them with new ones as per the manufacturer’s
standards.
† Never attempt any manoeuvre if the area is not free from spectators.
† Drive at reasonable speed complying with local laws to always keep control of tractor and
equipment. Pay special attention on irregular or rough roads
† Handling behaviour, steer-ability and braking are influenced by mounted implements,
trailers and ballast weights. Check for sufficient steer ability and braking.
† If your machine is equipped with a folding mechanism (manual or hydraulic), use it
† Use all devices required by your area’s current laws (lights, reflectors, signs ….). They
might be removed during field operations to prevent any sort of damage. It is the
operator’s responsibility to comply with current laws and to follow the regulations.
† Before road transport, always check for wheel studs and wheel mounting brackets,
carriage bolt tightness, general tyre state and pressure. Do not drive with low pressure,
cuts or damaged tyres or rims.

3. PREPARATION OF THE TRACTOR
making sure folding area is free from spectators and obstacles.
Where there are alternative fitting positions at the tractor for the top link, fit the tractor-
sided top link as high as possible.
Attention! Some tractors are equipped with automatic “check devices” which require
special adjustments. If a tractor suddenly shows side draft or if the L/H and R/H front
width of the plough is different, an unlocked “check device” could be the reason for that.
In such a case the function of the automatic “check device” must be checked. (See
manufacturer’s instructions)
3.4. Check Chains or Sway Blocks of the Three Point Linkage
Chains or sway blocks MUST be adjusted so that the lower link is always free to move
sideways during ploughing.
3.5. Hydraulics
For working, the tractor hydraulics must be set a ‘Draft’ or ‘Mixed’ Control. See
manufacturer’s instructions.
