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 supplemental hydraulics. The following prepara-
tions must be made for connecting the supplemental hydraulics.
1. Remove the two sealing plugs on the hydraulic cylinder of the snow blade.
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: Alignment of the angled swivel
threaded unions.
3. Screw the reducers into the quick-connect plugs and then screw in both together on
the hydraulic line as shown in Fig. Fig 3: Connection components - tractor side.

3.3 Attaching the snow blade on the tractor
In order to attach the snow blade onto a tractor, the tractor must be equipped with a front
lift. Below, take up via a coupling triangle is described in more detail:
1. Position the snow blade in such a manner that you can drive to just in front of its
coupling triangle.
2. Then the coupling triangle of the front lift is lowered all the way and is brought under
the triangle of the snow blade by driving the tractor forward. In this process, ensure
that the coupling triangle of the front lift is tilted slightly forward. If it is not possible to
easily drive forward under the triangle of the snow blade, then the height can be set
suitably by adjusting the attachment flange. To do this you must remove the 6
screws and shift the coupling triangle up or down on the attachment flange. The final
step is to retighten the threaded unions.
Fig. 7: Adjusting the coupling triangle
3. Lifting the front power system 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 unscrewed, the locking part is adjusted, the bolt is inserted and
then it is retightened.

5. Then the two hydraulic hoses, for the angle adjustment of the snow blade must be
fitted onto the coupling sockets of the supplemental 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.
Fig 10: Bring the parking rest into drive position
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 tube linch pin of the snow blade and pull it all
the way up to unlock the blade. Secure the locking pin by inserting the tube linch pin
into the lowest bore.
Fig. 11: Unlock the blade (locked status is shown)
Danger!
The locking pin of the blade 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 dam-
age to the snow blade and possibly injury to the drive.

Note!
The blade can only be operated in locked status (locking pin 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!

3.4 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 bar just barely touch-
es the ground or clears 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 substrate that is 1-2 mm thick.
2. Set the hydraulic system to the float position, block, 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. 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 desired direction. Retighten the nuts and ten-
sion the pullback springs.

Note!
A second unscrewing of the buffer can result in the situation that the lock-
ing pin can no longer be pushed in
Fig. 13: Adjusting the stop buffers
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!
2. 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 is does not hang horizontally in lifted position. First lift the snow blade. Tension
the springs by directly turning the laterally attached screws. Only tension the springs
that are opposite of the side on which the blade hangs down.

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 activated. To work with the snow blade it must be lowered and the hydrau-
lic system must be switched to float position.
Danger!
Driving on pressure is prohibited. This can make the vehicle unsteerable!
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 driving against an obstacle (e.g. manhole cover) the blade yields to the
front and thus reduces the impact.
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 Faults
Fault:
Possible cause:
After clearing, snow still remains
Slide runner is adjusted too low
The snow blade vibrates excessively
when removing snow
Slide runner adjusted too high
substrate is extremely uneven
Tractor is hard to steer
Hydraulic system for the front lift is not in float position
The snow blade oscillates back and
forth when clearing snow
Hydraulic system for angle adjustment is not in float posi-
tion
bearings are deflected

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 im-
portant 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 lines.
•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
•Locking pin on the coupling triangle
•Slide runner (wear)
•Lubricating nipple of the swing axle
•Lubricating nipple of the fold axle
