logue).
Placement

Safety
7
Meaning
The meaning of the safety decals is explained below.
Read the operating manual and follow the instructions.
The plough must only be used for the first time once the operating
manual has been read and understood.
Do not stand between the tractor and the plough
tanding between the tractor and plough increases the risk of being
crushed. This is particularly relevant when coupling the plough to the
tractor.
Parking stand.
Do not stand under or near the plough unless it is properly secured.
When uncoupling, use the parking stand. If the plough tips over, it can
damage the plough, or cause personal injury or material damage.
Reversible plough.
The plough requires more space when it turns. Keep clear of the dan-
ger area.
Risk of crushing
Using the machine can reduce the surrounding space. Be aware there
is a risk of crushing. Keep clear of the danger area.
Sharp parts
harp parts of the plough can be dangerous if care is not taken. Keep
clear of the danger area. The end of the landsides are sharp: keep
away!
Slewing range
There is a risk of damage or injury when the plough is raised or swung
round. Keep clear of the danger area. Never walk underneath a raised
plough!
Retighten bolts and nuts
Regularly retighten all bolts and nuts on the plough. This is especially
important after the first few hours of use. Unnoticed loosening of bolts
and nuts may lead to damage or injury.

Safety
General safety
information
Please read and ensure you understand the following general safety
information. pecific safety information is pointed out in the relevant
chapters.
General
Read and ensure you understand the instructions
Before starting to operate the plough, read the operating manual and
follow the instructions. Failure to follow the instructions may damage
the plough or lead to injury.
Qualified personnel only
The plough must not be put into use until the user has been properly
trained and is familiar with the operation and safe use of the plough.
Incorrect use of the plough may damage the plough or lead to injury.
heck for technical defects
Before starting to use the plough, check that the machine is in perfect
working condition. If there are any defective components, contact your
dealer to have them replaced. Defective components may cause mal-
functions, and damage the plough or lead to injury.
Keep your distance
Do not stand on, under or near the plough when it is operating or being
coupled to the tractor. This may result in damage or injury.
Support the plough
Do not stand under or near the plough unless it is properly supported.
If the plough tips, it may damage the plough or lead to injury.
Lower the plough
Always lower the plough when parking the tractor. Otherwise, the
plough may lower itself and damage the plough or lead to injury.
Use the front weights
Fit the tractor with enough front weights to ensure stability and secure
steering.
heck the vicinity
Always check the immediate vicinity before starting to move or oper-
ate the plough. No persons must stand close to the plough when it is
being operated.
Use the parking stand
Use the parking stand when parking the plough. If the plough is not
correctly supported, it may tip over. This may damage the plough or
lead to injury.
No riding on the plough
Do not allow anyone to ride on the plough when in use. This may result
in damage or injury.

Safety
9
Coupling
Risk of injury when coupling
There is an increased risk of injury when the plough is coupled to the
tractor. Therefore:
•ecure the tractor to prevent it from rolling.
•Do not stand between the tractor and plough when coupling
•Lift and lower the plough slowly
Relieving the oil pressure - Unintended movements
Relieve the oil pressure in both the tractor's hydraulic system and the
plough's hydraulic system before connecting and disconnecting the
hydraulic hoses. Otherwise, pressurised oil may cause the plough to
move unexpectedly. This may damage the plough or lead to injury.
heck the length of the hose
Check the length of the hose on the plough and between the plough
and tractor for sufficient slack. If the hoses are taut or stretched, the
hoses may be damaged or destroyed.
heck that the hydraulic connections are correct
Make sure you do not cross hydraulic connections when coupling
them to the tractor. If the connections are crossed, it will cause the
plough to move unexpectedly. This may damage the plough or lead to
injury.
Ad usting and
maintaining
Avoid skin contact with oils and lubricants
When handling oils or lubricants, prevent them coming into contact
with the skin by using oil resistant gloves. Oils and lubricants can dam-
age the skin.
Relieve the oil pressure - jet streams
Before replacing or otherwise working with parts of the hydraulic sys-
tem, relieve the oil pressure in the system. The oil pressure can be
very high. Jet streams caused by high oil pressure may lead to injury.
In case of injury, seek medical attention immediately.
arry out maintenance at regular intervals
Carry out maintenance on the plough at regular intervals and as pre-
scribed in »Maintenance and care«. Also replace worn parts as pre-
scribed. Ploughs that are not well maintained can malfunction. This
may damage the plough or lead to injury.
Do not weld
Never carry out welding work on any part of the plough. The plough is
made of hardened steel, and any welding will adversely affect the
plough’s strength. Welding may irreparably damage the plough.
Retighten bolts and nuts
Regularly retighten all bolts and nuts on the plough. This is especially
important after the first few hours of use. Unnoticed loosening of bolts
and nuts may lead to damage or injury.
→»Tighten bolts and nuts«, page 52

10
Safety
Replace the cross shaft after 1000 km
On large mounted ploughs we recommend that you replace the cross
shaft after 1000 km of road transport. Road transport causes imper-
ceptible damage to the cross shaft.
Use protective clothing
Use protective clothing, e.g. gloves, when working with sharp parts of
the plough. Parts that come into contact with the soil can be very
sharp. Failure to handle these carefully may lead to injury.
Use original spare parts
Use only genuine Kverneland spare parts. Other products may ad-
versely affect the correct operation of the plough and safety. The war-
ranty will no longer be valid if parts not produced by Kverneland are
used.
heck the tyre pressure
Regularly check to ensure the tyre pressure meets the requirements.
Pressures which are too high or low may cause damage and exces-
sive wear of the tyre.
→»Tyre pressure«, page 16
Driving on the road
Be aware of the plough’s length
The plough is long, and swings out when turning. In tight turns, avoid
swinging the rear of the plough into obstacles.
Stabilise the drawbars
During all non-ploughing operations, e.g. transport, the tractor's draw-
bars must be secured. This will prevent the plough from accidentally
moving sideways.
Obey local rules
Obey the local rules when driving with the plough on public roads. For
example
•have all necessary lights installed and warning signs displayed.
•do not exceed the maximum permitted weights, loads and dimen-
sions.
The user is responsible for ensuring that the plough complies with the
law when driving on public roads.
Adapt your speed: max 25 km/h
Your driving speed must be adapted to the road conditions under all
circumstances, but must never exceed 25 km/h. Excessively high
speeds cause excessive forces on the tractor, plough and transport
wheel. This may lead to breakage or other damage.

Getting to know the plough
11
Getting t o kn ow the plough
This chapter provides information on the plough. You can learn about
correct use of the plough and its features as well as technical informa-
tion.
Proper use
This plough is intended to be used for ploughing. Any other use of the
plough, e.g. as for lifting or pulling operations, is deemed improper
use. The manufacturer and dealer are not liable for damage caused
by improper use.
Features
Variable ploughing width
These plough models have either a Variomat - infinitely variable
ploughing width - or a ploughing width which can be adjusted in incre-
ments. By having this option to adjust the ploughing width, the best
possible combination between the tractor, plough and ground condi-
tions can be achieved.
omplete range of bodies
A complete range of plough bodies is available for all requirements.
Kverneland plough bodies offer excellent ploughing quality, are wear
resistant and have a low draft requirement.
Robust turning head
The plough's turning head is designed to have the centre of gravity
close to the tractor, thus minimising the lifting requirement as much as
possible.
omplete range of optional equipment
Optional equipment on the plough consists of a wide range of depth
wheels, skimming equipment, disc coulters and knives. These will
meet your requirements in terms of soil type and field conditions.
Wear resistant parts
All soil engaging parts have undergone a process of heat treatment.
This makes them extremely wear resistant, yet flexible enough to with-
stand shocks.

Optional equipment
Optional equ ipmen t
This chapter provides an overview of optional equipment for the 150
B/150 plough. Limitations apply. Please contact your Kverneland
dealer for more information.
Skimmer
Recommended for effective ploughing down of grass and stubble.
Two types or skimmer are available: manure skimmers and maize
skimmers. Both can be equipped with either a long share for more ef-
fective burial of plant waste or a short share for working deeper with
the skimmer.
Available with skimmer extensions.
Maize skimmer
Using the maize skimmer is beneficial when there are large quantities
of crop residues.
Skimmer extension
Using skimmer extensions is beneficial in heavy soil or grassland for
optimal ploughing down of crop residues.
Trashboard
Particularly useful when large quantities of plant waste (manure,
straw, etc.) are present. Using a trashboard gives more free space be-
tween the bodies, compared to using a skimmer.

Optional equipment
19
Disc coulter
Disc coulters are available in sizes of 45, 50 and 55 cm (18, 20 and 22
in.) in diameter, plain or notched. They are mounted on single arms
and are easy to adjust to suit all conditions.
Share knife
An alternative to disc coulters, when a reduction in weight may be nec-
essary or when blockage from trash or stones is likely. Can only be
used on ploughs fitted with reversible points.
Landside knife
Can be used together with all types of shares. An alternative to disc
coulters, when a reduction in weight may be necessary or when block-
age from trash or stones is likely. Ideal for combining with skims, and
suitable for all types of share.
Eco-share
A share for working 10cm deeper than the plough's normal share and
breaking up the topsoil. This cannot be fitted to all bodies. Also an al-
ternative for ploughing up to 10 cm shallower.

20
Optional equipment
Share with reversible
point
An effective share system for ploughing hard and abrasive soil and for
use under generally difficult conditions.
Share with flush fit point
For ploughing in sticky soil conditions. The point is fixed by means of
a single bolt and is therefore easy to replace.
Quick-fit share
Reduces the downtime when replacing the points. Can be fitted to all
plough bodies. Very good ground penetration.
Knock-on® share
Reduces the downtime when replacing the points. Can be fitted to all
plough bodies. Very good ground penetration.
