Attention!
Before starting up the implement read the instructions on safety and han-
dling for operation of the entire implement and connection to the tractor.
3.1 Preparations on the snow blade
The prerequisite for attaching the snow blade is a tractor with front lift and coupling trian-
gle, as well as two coupling sockets for additional hydraulics. The following preparations
must be made for connecting the additional hydraulics.
1. Remove the two blind plugs on the hydraulic cylinder of the snow blade. To do this
you require a size 6 hexagon screwdriver.
2. Screw the two angled branch pieces into the hydraulic cylinder and pay attention to
the position of the angle pieces as shown in Fig. 2.
3. Screw the reducers into the quick-connect nipples and then screw in both together
on the hydraulic hose as shown in Fig. 3.

3.2 Attaching the snow blade on the tractor
The implement is attached without tools via the quick-coupling triangle, as described be-
low.
1. To do this position the snow blade in such a manner that you can drive right up to its
coupling triangle.
2. The coupling triangle of the front lift is lowered all the way and is brought under the
triangle of the machine by driving the tractor forward. If this is not easily possible, the
coupling triangle can be adapted the tractor conditions by adjusting the attachment
flange. To do this you must loosen the 4 threaded unions and shift the coupling tri-
angle up or down on the attachment flange. The final step is to retighten the
threaded unions.
Fig. 4: Adjusting the coupling triangle
3. Lifting the front power lift hooks its coupling triangle in under coupling triangle of the
snow blade.
4. Then the locking pins on the coupling triangle must be inserted and secured via the
spring cotter pin. If this is not possible then the locking part must be readjusted. To
do this both nuts are loosened, the locking part is adjusted, the bolt is inserted and
then it is properly tightened.

5. Then the two hydraulic hoses, for the angle adjustment of the snow blade must be
fitted onto the coupling sockets of the additional hydraulic system.

Attention!
Both hydraulic connections must be connected on the cylinder in order to
swing the snow blade to the left as well as to the right.
6. Now lift the snow blade via the tractor hydraulic system and pull out the spring cotter
pin of the parking rest. Pull the parking rest all the way up and secure its position by
inserting the spring cotter pin into the lowest bore.

Attention!
Before clearing snow, never forget to pull the parking rest up to drive posi-
tion and to secure it. The snow blade can be damaged on uneven ground if
the parking rest remains hanging.

7. Remove the spring cotter pin on the lock bolt of the snow blade and pull it all the way
up to unlock the blade. Secure the lock bolt by inserting the spring cotter pin into the
first bore.
Fig. 8: Unlock the blade (locked status is shown)
Danger!
The lock bolt of the blad
e must be in the topmost position for clearing snow
(= unlocked). Otherwise the flap mechanism, which enables the blade to
yield for obstacles, will not work. The consequences are significant damage
to the snow blade and possibly injury to the drive.
&
Note!
The blade can only be operated in locked status (lock bolt position = locked)
for moving sand or similar material. Drive at a slow speed and watch out for
obstacles on the ground to prevent damage to the blade!

3.3 Adjustments on the snow blade:
Before starting to clear snow, the slide runners must be correctly adjusted. To do this the
snow blade is lowered onto a level surface via the hydraulics. The snow blade is correctly
adjusted when the slide runners rest on the ground and the scraper bars just barely touch
the ground or clear the ground by 1-2 mm. If this is not the case the snow blade must first
be adjusted.
To do this proceed as follows:
1. Lower the snow blade until it is just a little above the ground, and place it on an in-
termediate layer that is 1-2 mm thick.
2. Disable the hydraulic system and switch off the tractor.
3. Unscrew the clamp screws of the slide runners.
4. Lower slide runners to the ground.
5. Tighten the clamp screws and secure them with the lock nuts.

The following adjustment tasks should only be executed as needed:
1. Re-tensioning the compression springs of the blade. If when clearing snow the
blade folds to the front without hitting an obstacle, then the two pull back springs
must be re-tensioned. This is done by unscrewing the nuts on the eye bolts and then
tightening the nuts on the bolt side. Ensure that both springs are uniformly ten-
sioned. To conclude retighten the counter nuts. If the clamping range of the eye bolt
is spent, then both springs must be replaced.
Fig. 10: Adjusting the pullback springs
2. Adjusting the stop buffers. Stop buffers are installed so that the blade is damped
when it flips back against the chassis. This prevents excessive noise development
and possible damage to the blade. The buffers are preset in the factory and should
only be readjusted as required. First de-tension the pullback springs by loosening
the eye bolts. Then unscrew the nuts directly under the base plate of the buffer and
turn the buffer counterclockwise in the direction of the snow blade. Retighten the
nuts and tension the pullback springs.
&
Note!
A second of unscrewing of the buffer can result in the situation that lock
bolt can no longer be pushed in

Attention!
Danger of crushing due to the blade flipping back.
Never reach into the swing area of the blade when it is tilted forward and the
pullback springs are tensioned Drive in reverse until the blade again rests
on the stop buffers!
3. Springs of the pendulum compensation. To ensure the horizontal position of the
blade in lifted position, the pendulum compensation springs are attached. The
springs are preset in the factory and should only be readjusted as required, i.e. if the
blade does not hang horizontally in lifted position. First lift the snow blade. Tension
the springs by directly turning the nuts on the spring plate of the pendulum compen-
sation springs clockwise. Only tension the springs that are opposite of the side on
which the blade hangs down.

Operation and fault correction
Page 15
4 Operation and fault correction
4.1 Operation
If the snow blade is correctly adjusted, you can start working. For travel between imple-
mentation sites the snow blade is lifted above the front lift and the lowering safeguard of
the front lift is hooked in. To work with the snow blade it is lowered and the hydraulic sys-
tem is switched to float position.
Attention!
A disabled hydraulic system can result in damage to the implement and/or
tractor!
To clear the snow to a specific side the snow blade can be pivoted via the hydraulic angle
adjustment. This setting must be made in a slightly lifted out position without load on the
snow blade. When working with the snow blade small unseen obstacles can be run over.
To protect the operator and the implement, the snow blade is equipped with a movable
blade plate. When hitting an obstacle (e.g. manhole cover) the blade yields to the front
and thus reduces the impact. Normally the blade springs back automatically. If it does
not, the snow blade must be lifted briefly so that the segment can spring back without
hindrance.
Attention!
Danger of crushing due to the blade flipping back.
Never reach into the swing area of the blade when it is tilted forward and the
pullback springs are tensioned Drive in reverse until the blade again rests
on the stop buffers!
4.2 Fault correction

Service

5 Service
The entire implement must be subjected to regular service.
After first use the threaded unions on the snow blade must be checked and retightened if
necessary. The screws of the scraper bar and the attachment flange are extremely impor-
tant in this regard.
Daily service:
•Prior to each use, check the safety elements and moving parts for wear.
•Also prior to each use, check the adjustment of the slide runners.
•Check the hydraulic connections and hoses.
•Clean the implement after each use.
•Check the status of the snow blade, the level of wear on the scraper bar (steel &
PU).
Maintenance after 25 operating hours (or after a longer standstill period):
At regular intervals, and always at the beginning and end of the season, the moving parts
of the implement must be checked and if necessary the axle threaded unions must be re-
tightened. The bearings are maintenance-free and only need to be replaced if there is ex-
cessive play.
The most important points are:
•Attachment points of the swing cylinders
•Swing axle of the blade plate
•Fold axle of the blade plate
•Pendulum axle of the snow blade
•Lock bolt on the coupling triangle
•Slide runner (wear)
