2.0 New equipment - be careful!
It is very important to be careful when new equipment is going to be used for the first time.
Incorrect mounting of equipment and operational errors can lead to expensive repair wor and
operational losses. The Kverneland factory warranty is not valid if the instructions in this
operating manual are not followed correctly.
Please ensure that all equipment is mounted correctly and that it is not damaged. Also, chec that
the hydraulic hoses are mounted such that they are long enough for free hydraulic cylinder
movement and that they do not become trapped during implement operation.
When leaving the Kverneland fac tory a ll new equipment is lubricated with the correct ind of
grease. Only use quality grease recommended.
Chec that all nuts and bolts are firmly tightened (loo at chapter 21.0 Tightening torque), this is
very important after the first hours in use.
Important Safety Recommendations
All mounted reversible ploughs:
On large fully mounted reversible ploughs it is recommended to replace the cross shaft after
approx. 1000 m of transport operation. This is for safety r easons in the unli ely event a fa ilu re
should occur.
Hydraulic system:
The hydraulic system is wor ing under high pressure and is therefore potentially dangerous. It is
very important that all hoses and connections are chec ed frequently for lea age and external
damage.
The hydraulic hoses should not be connected to, or removed from the hydraulic system on the
tractor unless the oil pressure in both the tractor and implement has been released.
In accordance with the EU-directive, all hydraulic hoses should be exchanged with new genuine
Kverneland replacements after 6 years. Porous and defective hoses must always be replaced
immediately.
Oil leakage from damaged hoses and connections can cause fatal injury and possible fire
risk.
Al ays seek medical treatment immediately follo ing an injury.
Note: The sound level on all ploughs is less than 70 dB.

Complete model code and serial number must be stated to
avoid mistakes when ordering spare parts and
misunderstandings regarding service consultations. The
identification plate is located on the headstock.
Le code complet et le numéro de série doivent être
indiqués pour éviter des erreurs lors de la commande de
pièces de rechange et des malentendus concernant des
demandes de Service Après Vente. La plaque d’identité est
située sur la tête.
Um bei Ersatzteilbestellungen und Serviceleistungen
Fehler und Mißverständnisse zu vermeiden ist es
erforderlich, daß die genaue Bezeichnung und die
Seriennummer angegeben werden. Die Plakette befindet
sich am Drehwerk.
Debe figura el codigo completo del modelo y el numero de
serie para evitar errores al pedir las piezas de recambio y
al hacer consultas tecnicas. La placa de identificacion esta
situada en el cabezal.

6.0 Description
The plough (fig. 1) consists of a tow frame (A), a first main frame (B), a second main frame (C) and
a wheel carriage (D). The two main frame sections are joined together by a special hinge (E) on
the wheel carriage.
The wheels automatically align parallel with the landside when the plough is turned from one side
to another.
All body and leg assemblies are fastened by means of M24" bolts (F) to the main frame, thereby
allowing the furrow width to be varied from 14'' to 20'' (35 - 50 cm).
The "on-land" version can be used for both "in-furrow" and "on-land" operation. This is achieved
by operating the special 3-stage first furrow-adjusting cylinder.
When driving “on-land”, maximum overall wheel setting on the tractor is 3200 mm.

7.0 Tractor
7.1 Tractor equipment
The tractor must be equipped with (minimum) :
- One double acting hydraulic outlet for the turnover cylinders
- One double acting hydraulic outlet for the wheel carriage. If the plough is equipped with a
joystic or foot pedal the following operations can be made-
a) Raise and lower the centre carriage section,
b) Raise and lower the rear ploughing section,
c) Adjust the Vari-Width furrow width system
-
Optional equipment can be delivered:
- One double acting hydraulic outlet for the hydraulic furrow width adjustment
- One double acting hydraulic outlet for Vari-Width system if a joystic /foot pedal control is not
used
- One double acting hydrauli c outlet for the hin ge c ylin der if a joystic /foot pedal c ontrol is n ot
used
- If the plough is equipped with a Pac omat, additional outlets may be required.
NB! The tractor l ower lin a rms (A, fig. 4) must be sta bili sed pr eventin g sideways movement. If
this is not possible, the free movement has to be limited and equal on both sides.
Front-end tractor weights are usually required. For "in-furrow" operation, the rear tractor wheel
setting (between inside faces of tyres) should be from 110 to 160 cm. When using a 4WD-tractor it
is most important that wheel distance in front is not less than that of the rear wheel setting. If the
distance in front is less than the rear, there will be a width variation on the first furrow. However,
when using a 2WD-drive tractor it can be an advantage to adjust the front wheels 0 to 10 cm. wider
for optimum ploughing performance (fig. 2).
When part of the tractor tyre rolls on the land with a distance (E) or when using a furrow opener
(fig. 3) the rear wheel distance (D) would be A + 2E. NB! When using furrow openers, the width
of the front furrow (E) will be narrower than the remaining furrows. The front furrow width should
always be set from the original furrow wall.
The tractors' lift rods should be equal in length and the angle of the lower draft arms equal on both
sides. The air pressure must also be equal on both rear wheels.
7.2 Tractor attachment
The cross shaft is delivered with Cat. III (Ø36 mm) 965 mm.
The par ing stands must be raised before ploughing and put down again when par ing the plough.

9.0 Beams
9.1 Auto reset system
Fig. 5 shows the HD-spring. For heavy soils two additional leaves No. 5 can be supplied (fig. 5). The
standard spring is with two leaves No. 5. For heavy soils, it is possible to mount two spring units on
top of each other.
To disassemble a complete beam with body and s im equipment:
- Ensure that the beam is sitting against the balls and is supported by lifting equipment or by
par ing the plough on a level floor.
- Release the spring tension by loosen the bolts (E) and (F) (fig. 6).
The spring suspension rod (H) (fig. 7) is pushed forward allowing the bolt (A) (fig. 8) to be pulled
out. The beam is now dismounted from the plough and can be removed.
Assemble in reverse order.
The spring is tightened by means of the two bolts (E) and (F). Screw in the bolt (E) halfway. Then
turn bolt (F) so that the clearance (I) between the drawbar and the inner side of the leg section is
1 - 2 mm (fig. 7). Finally bolt (E) (fig. 6) is adjusted until the distance between (J) and (K) is 70 cm
(fig. 9). This dimension is mar ed on the side of the long spanner (fig. 10).
With correct adjustment, maximum spring tension is achieved. Always use the correct number of
leaves to suit soil type. Too many leaves fitted will prevent the auto-reset system to operate
correctly.
Over time, the spring will become out of adjustment and must then be re-set again in accordance
to fig. 9.
NB! Always maintain the setting as per the decal (70-cm). If ignored, the spring system may not
function correctly and will result in the assembly flexing the wrong way (fig. 9, decal).

10.0 Disc coulter
10.1 Disc coulter for auto-reset beam
Disc coulters can be mounted on all furrows on ploughs fitted with the auto-reset beam.
The disc coulter for the auto-reset beam can be delivered in two variants. The most common type
is shown in fig. 12 to fig. 14. Adjust the depth by loosening bolt (T) (fig. 13). The limit stop for the
turning angle for the disc is also adjusted by loosening the bolt (T). Care must be ta en when
adjusting the rear disc coulter so that it does not collide with the rear depth wheel.
The disc coulter is adjusted so that 1/3 of the diameter (D) cuts into the ground. this will ensure
positive rotation and avoid the disc from stopping. The distance between the coulter and the share
should be minimum of 5cm. When wor ing in stony soil, the distance should be increased.
The distance between the coulter and the landside can be adjusted by loosening both bolts (U) and
turning the eccentric (X). The distance should be 1 - 4 cm (fig. 14).
Disc coulter with parallel side adjustment is shown i fig. 16. To adjust the wor ing depth, bolt (A)
(fig. 16) is loosened and the arm (B) is raised up or down against the serrated boss mounted to the
arm (C). The distance between the coulter and the landside can be adjusted by loosening bolt (U).
The cran ed arm (C) is then moved to the appropriate wor ing position and b olt (U) tightened. The
disc distance should be 1 - 4 cm (fig. 14).
10.2 Disc coulter for shearbolt beam
Disc coulter for fixed beam is shown in fig. 15.
The disc coulter can only be mounted on the rear body assembly.
The disc coulter is adjusted so that 1/3 of the diameter cuts into the ground. The limit stop for the
turning angle for the disc is also adjusted by loosening the bolt (T). The distance between the
coulter and the share should be minimum 5cm. When wor ing in stony soil, the distance should
be increased.
Adjust the depth by loosening bolt (A) (fig. 15) and adjust the disc to the correct wor ing position.
When shallow ploughing, it is possible to adjust the disc's depth by lowering the shaft (B) (fig. 15).
The distance between the disc coulter and the landside can be adjusted by loosening both bolts (U,
fig. 15) and turning the excentric (X). The distance should be 1 - 4 cm (fig. 14).
NB! Remember to tighten all the bolts frequently.
