
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.

Danger!
Switch off the tractor and remove the ignition key before mounting or dis-
mounting the implements.

Note!
Enter the chassis number of the implement in section 4.3 of this operating
manual.
3.1 Attaching the snow blade on the tractor
In order to attach the snow blade to a tractor, the tractor must be equipped with a front lift.
Take up via a coupling triangle is described in more detail below:
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 coupling triangle. 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.

3. Lifting the front power system hooks-in its coupling triangle under the coupling trian-
gle of the snow blade.

4. Insert the locking pin on the coupling triangle and secure it 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.
Fig. 2: Locking pin on the coupling triangle
5. Fit the hydraulic hoses, for the angle adjustment of the snow blade onto the coupling
sockets of the supplemental hydraulic system.

3.2 Adjusting the slide runners or casters
Before starting to clear snow, the slide runners or the casters must be correctly adjusted.
To do this the snow blade is lowered onto a level surface via the hydraulic system. The
snow blade is correctly adjusted when the slide runners rest on the ground and the
scraper bar just barely touches the ground or clears the ground by 1-2 mm. If this is not
the case the snow blade must first be adjusted.
1. Lower the snow blade until it is just a little above the ground.
2. Set the hydraulic system to the float position and switch off the tractor.
3. Unscrew the clamp screws and lower the slide runners to the ground. For the variant
with casters, crank the casters downward until they rest full-surface on the ground.

The contact angle of the scraper bar on the ground influences the snow clearing capacity
of the blade. A lesser angle results in a more aggressive clearing capacity and the spring
flap, folds with slightly more resistance. With a greater angle the spring flaps fold at light-
er resistance and the blade runs more quietly.

Note!
The blade plate must be removed to adjust the contact angle.
1. Removing the blade plate
2. Unscrew the 8 fastening screws
Fig. 7: Fastening screws - attachment bracket
3. Adjust the length of the set screw.

4. Retighten the 8 fastening screws, see Fig. 7.

Note!
To avoid premature wear, do not forget to tighten the fastening screws be-
fore using the blade again.
5. Mount the blade plate.

3.4 Adjust the pendulum compensation.
To ensure the horizontal position of the blade in lifted position, the pendulum compensa-
tion springs are attached. The springs are preset in the factory and should only be read-
justed as required, i.e. if the blade does not hang horizontally in lifted position.
1. Lift out the snow blade.
2. Tension the springs by turning the laterally attached screws. Only tension the
springs that are opposite of the side on which the blade hangs down.


Note!
The pendulum compensation element must be easy to move. Ensure that
the stop nuts on the pendulum compensation allow slight play of approx. 0.5
mm between pendulum plate and pivot bracket.

3.5 Adjusting the pressure control valve
If the snow blade is equipped with a pressure control valve the blade can give way when
moving laterally against obstructions, e.g. house walls or curbstones. The pressure at
which the blade gives way can be adjusted separately for each pivot direction. Unscrew
lock nut, use an Allen wrench to adjust set screw, retighten lock nut. Repeat the adjust-
ment on the opposite side of the pressure control valve for the other pivot direction. Turn
the set screw to the right to increase the pressure or to the left to decrease the pressure.

Operation and fault correction

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 via the front lift and the lowering safeguard of the
front lift is activated. To work with the snow blade, it must be lowered into 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 spring-flap
segments. When encountering an obstacle (e.g. manhole cover) the spring-flap fold back
and the impact is reduced.
4.2 Faults
Fault:
Possible cause:
After clearing, snow still remains
Slide runner or support wheel is set too low, see 3.2
The snow blade vibrates excessively
when removing snow
Slide runner or support wheel is set too high, see 3.2
extremely uneven substrate
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
Pendulum compensation element
moves with great difficulty
Stop nuts of the pendulum compensation element over-
tightened, see 3.4
4.3 Contact
If there are faults, problems, or other indications of malfunction,
contact your sales consultant or directly contact the manufacturer.

5 Maintenance
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. Particularly check the following components:
Blade plate
Blade extensions
Flap-segments
Scraper bars
Attachment bracket
Holder of the slide runners, or telescopic foot
Mechanism of the contact angle.
5.1 Daily maintenance
Check scraper bars for wear
Check adjustment of the slide runners or the casters
Check pendulum compensation for ease of movement
Check hydraulic connections and lines
Clean the implement.

Danger!
Hydraulic oil escaping under high pressure can penetrate under the skin
and cause severe injuries. Never attempt to find a possible leak point on the
hydraulic lines by feeling them with your hands.
5.2 Maintenance after 50 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 threaded unions must be retight-
ened. The scraper bars must be checked for wear.
