ed. When uncoupling, use the machine stand. Tipping of the machine
may lead to damage or injury.
Crush danger
Machine parts move when the machine is being operated. Keep clear
of the danger area.

Safety
General safety in-
formation
Read and understand the following general safety information. Specif-
ic safety information is pointed out in the relevant chapters.
General
Read and follow the instructions
Before starting to operate the machine, read the operation manual and
follow the instructions. Not following instructions may lead to damage
or injury.
Only qualified users
Do not put the machine into use before the user has been properly
trained for operation and is familiar with the function and safe use of
the machine. False operation of the machine may lead to damage or
injury.
Check technical failure
Before starting to use the machine, check if the machine is in perfect
working condition. In case of defect components, contact your dealer
for replacement. Defect components may cause failure, leading to
damage or injury.
Keep distance
Do not stand on, under or close to the machine while it is in work or
while coupling it to the tractor.This may lead to injury.
Support the machine
Do not stand under or near the machine unless it is properly support-
ed. Tipping of the machine may lead to damage or injury.
Lower the machine
Always lower the machine when parking the tractor. Unintended low-
ering of the machine may otherwise lead to damage or injury.
Use front end weights
Fit the tractor with enough front end weights for stability and secure
steering.
Check the vicinity
Always check the immidiate vicinity before starting to move or operate
the machine. No persons are allowed to stand close to the machine
when it is being operated.
Use the machine stand

or injury.

Safety

Coupling
Risk of injury when coupling
There is an increased risk of injury when coupling the machine to the
tractor. Therefore
•Secure the tractor to prevent it from rolling
•Do not stand between tractor and machine when coupling
•Lift and lower the machine slowly
Ad usting and maintain-
ing
Avoid skin contact with oils and lubricants
When handling oils or lubricants, avoid contact by using oil resistant
gloves. Oils and lubricants can do damage to the skin.
Maintain regularly
Maintain the machine regularly and as prescribed in »Maintenance
and care«. Also replace worn parts as prescribed. Machines that are
not well maintained can malfunction. This may result in damage or in-
jury.
Do not weld
Do never weld on any part of the machine. The machine is made of
hardened steel, and any welding will severely decrease the machine’s
strength. Welding may lead to breakage on the machine.
Retighten bolts and nuts
Regularly retighten all bolts and nuts on the machine. This is especial-
ly important after the first hours of use. Unnoticed loosening of bolts
and nuts may lead to damage or injury. Take especially good notice of
the tightening torque for the bolted clamps.
→»Tighten bolts and nuts«, page 23.
Use protective clothing
Use protective clothing, e.g. gloves, when working with sharp parts on
the machine. Especially soil engaging parts can be very sharp. Un-
careful handling may lead to injury.
Use OEM spare parts (Original Equipment Manufacterers)
Only use original Kverneland spare parts. Using other products may
lead to malfunction of the machine or a reduced safety. Warranty is not
valid when non-Kverneland parts are used.
Check tyre pressure
Regularly check if the tyre pressure is as required. Too high or low
pressures may lead to damage and excessive wear of the tyre.
→»Tyre pressure«, page 24.

Safety
Driving on the road
Beware of the machine’s size
The machine is long, and swings out in turns. In tight turns, avoid
swinging the sides of the machine into obstacles.
Obey local rules
Obey the local rules when you intend to drive with the machine on
public roads. For example
•have all necessary lights and warning decals installed.
•do not exceed the maximum permitted weights, loads and dimen-
sions.
The user is responsible for ensuring the machine complies with the
law when driving on public roads.
Adapt speed; max 25 km/h
Under all circumstances, adapt your driving speed to the road condi-
tions, but do never drive in excess of 25 km/h. Excessively high
speeds cause excessive forces on tractor and machine. This may lead
to breakage or other damage.

Getting to know the machine

Gettin g to know the machine
This chapter provides information about the machine. You can learn
about the proper use and the features of the machine as well as tech-
nical information.
Proper use
This machine is meant for soil cultivating operation. Any other use of
the machine, e.g. as for lifting or pulling operations, is improper use.
The manufacterer and dealer are not liable for damage caused by im-
proper use.
Features
Low wearing soil engaging parts
All soil engaging parts have undergone a process of heat treatment.
This makes them extremely wear resistant, yet flexible to withstand
shocks.
Easy adjustment of tine distance and working width
The bolted construction allows easy changes of working width and tine
distance.
Strong and flexible due to bolted clamps
The patented bolted clamps on the main frame make the CLG-II ex-
tremely strong and long lasting.
Auto-Reset tines for obstacle protection
The leaf spring obstacle protection is simple, but strong and reliable.
When hitting an object in the ground, the springs allow the tine to trip
over the obstruction, and return in their original position automatically.
For different soil conditions several spring configurations are avail-
able.
Fits most tractor hitch standards.
The CLG-II fits most tractor hitch standard, including European and
American quick coupling standards.
