This handbook describes the use, maintenance instructions
and spare parts supplied for the indicated plough.
The farming implement known as “plough“ is designed to
work the soil, linked to a tractor with lift and universal 3-point
coupling.
Regular and satisfactory operation together with economic
and long lasting use of the implement depends on compliance
with the instructions given in this handbook. It is, therefore,
advisable to strictly comply with the following instructions in
order to prevent faults which could jeopardise the correct and
long-lasting operation of the implement.
Compliance with the instructions in this handbook is also
important
since the Manufacturer declines all and every
responsibility caused by negligence and failure to comply
with these instructions.
The Manufacturer shall, however, remain at the customer’s
disposal for immediate and thorough assistance together with
anything else that may be required in order to ensure the correct
operation and maximum efficiency of the implement. The
Manufacturer reserves the right to make any modifications and
improvements to the implement, as may be considered
opportune, without being obliged to immediately inform the user.

3. PROTECTION SYSTEMS
SHEAR BOLT Protection: In the SSF and SLF models
,
protection is achieved by means of shear bolts (Fig.2). When the
share point meets an obstacle, the shear bolt breaks and permits
the beam to pivot back around its bedding. To continue work,
swing back the beam to its original position and replace the shear
bolt B.
WARNING:
use only genuine shear bolts. Other types of bolts
may offer a difference resistance and serious damage can be
produced. In this case the warranty will be void.
Fig.2
B
The Auto Reset protection systems (leaf spring or hydraulic)
work automatically. When the share meets an obstacle the beam
trips up thus overcoming the obstacle and then returns back to its
original position with no need to stop the tractor. (Fig.3 y 4)
This way all the impacts produced by an uneven field are
absorbed by the protection system thus protecting all the elements
of the plough and of the tractor too.
For the same reason, the Auto Reset protection decreases the
traction effort by not making the tractor overcome every eventual
obstacle.
Fig.3
Fig.4

8
HYDRAULIC models (SSH and SLH).
In order to adapt
the plough to soil conditions, in the hydraulic models the
release pressure can be adjusted by means of injecting (heavy
conditions) or removing (light conditions) oil from the system.
To adjust the working pressure proceed as follows.
- Open valve (Fig.6) to read the current pressure on the
manometer.
- Open valve (Fig.7) placed by the varywidth cylinder (SS
models) or by the first furrow width cylinder (SL models).
Note that the valve is closed when the handle is parallel to
the hose!.
- Act on the corresponding tractor spool valve to increase or
decrease the working pressure.
- Once the working pressure is set, close valves.
Note:
The auto Reset systems from OVLAC are set at the
factory for average conditions. In order to minimize impacts on
both the tractor and the plough, we recommend to work at the
lowest possible pressure. The maximum working pressure for
the hydraulic protection is 140 bar.
Fig.6
Fig.7
LEAFSPRING models (SSB and SLB ):
In heavy
duty conditions one or more leafs can be added to ease
penetration of the plough.
Check that the distance of the arch of the spring is
always 700 ± 2mm (Fig.5).

4. SET TO WORK
4.1 ATTACHING THE PLOUGHT
Before attaching the plough check the following points:
- The lift rods of the tractor must be set to the same length and
height.
- The wheels of the tractor must have the same pressure and it
must be set according to manufacturer´s instructions.
- The lower links must be fixed in a centered position allowing for
a little freedom to prevent side pull.
To attach the plough proceed as follows:
- Attach the lower links to the draw bar.
- Attach the top link so that the shaft E (Fig.8) remains vertical
when working. Attach the top link in the position of the
headstock that allows the maximum verticality when lifting the
front.
- Place the stay P (Fig.9) in its working position P1.
- Connect hydraulic hoses to the tractor hydraulic system.

10
To detach proceed as follows:
- Lower the front part of the plough and act on the wheel so the
tractor is lowered with the coupling bar in a horizontal position.
In this way detaching as well as the next attaching will be much
easier.
- Relieve pressure from the spool valves.
- Remove hydraulic hoses from the tractor
- Set the stay in its stand position P (Fig.10).
- Remove top link and lower links.
4.2 HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS
In SS
models four double acting spool valves (five if the on-land
option is included ) are needed to operate:
- The turnover system.
- Working depth adjustment.
- First furrow width adjustment.
- Working width.
- In-the-furrow or on-land work.
In the SL models three double acting spool valves (four if the on-
land option is included) are needed to operate:
- The turnover system.
- Working depth adjustment.
- First furrow width adjustment.
- In-the-furrow or on-land work.

4.3 MOULBOARDS
Before starting work, the paint on the mouldboards should
be removed to avoid that the soil remains adhered. In order to
ease this operation, a special peel-off paint is applied at the
factory.
4.4 FIRST FURROW WIDTH ADJUSTMENT
The first furrow width is adjusted hydraulically by means of the
cylinder A (Fig.11). The longer the ram, the wider the first furrow.

C
Fig.12
Fig.13
4.5 ALLIGNMENT
During work, the plough must run straight and parallel to the working
direction. It is recommended that the inside width between the rear
wheels of the tractor is in the range of 130 –150 cm. To avoid the
lateral pull of the plough it is recommended to allow for a certain lateral
play in the three point linkage. This play must be adjusted the same on
both sides.
4.6 IN-THE-FURROW OR ON-LAND
Changing from working in-the-furrow to on-land is achieved by simply
acting on cylinder B (Fig.12). Before acting on the cylinder pin P must be
removed and placed in hole H.
When working on-land it is strongly recommended to fold the plough
back to the in-the-furrow position before turning the plough.
4.7 WORKING DEPTH
The working depth is adjusted hydraulically by means of the cylinder C
(Fig.13). The maximum working depth is adjusted by means of nut D on
the ram of this cylinder. In order to achieve a proper turn of the soil it is
always advisable that the working width be greater than the working
depth.

4.8 WORKING WIDTH
The "S" series (SSF, SSB and SSH)
features the OVLAC
exclusive system to adjust hydraulically the furrow width –Varilabor -
which allows to choose any working width between 12" (30cm) and
21" (53 cm) by means of the cylinder A (Fig.14). The direction of the
wheel is adjusted automatically. A fine adjustment may be made if
necessary by means of the turnbuckle T. Varying the furrow width
permits to adapt the plough to soil conditions and to the power of the
tractor.
In the “L” series (SLF, SLB and SLH
) the furrow width can be
adjusted manually in steps of 2" (5cm) by means of placing bolt on the
desired position (Fig.15). Positions 1 and 4 correspond to the
minimum and maximum width respectively. The wheel must be set
accordingly with respect to the position of the bodies by means of
turnbuckle T (Fig.16) so that it runs parallel to the working direction.

4.9 TURNOVER SYSTEM
The turning of the plow is achieved by acting on the telescopic
hydraulic cylinders E (Fig.17).
Fig.17

4.10 OTHER ADJUSTMENTS
Check that the beams work vertically with respect to the field. To
achieve this, make sure that the lifting arms of the tractor are set at the
same length and act on the stop bolts A below the turn over rams (Fig.18)

5. TRANSPORT AND PARKING
This plough is transported in “butterfly position”. The valves V
must be closed so that the turn over mechanism is locked (Fig.19).
For transport, the front part of the plough must be lifted until
there is enough clearance between the draw bar and the ground.
The rear part must also be lifted by means of the wheel ram and
then lowered a bit always maintaining an appropriate clearance to
the ground.
Remember the wheel of the plough during transport is rolling
just in between the tractor wheels. Be aware of obstacles on the
way when driving the plough.
The stand P (Fig.20) guarantees a steady position when the
plough is parked. When parking the plough make sure that the
locking pin of the stand is placed in the right hole so that he draw
bar is horizontal. When ploughing the stand must be in the position
marked as P1.

6. MAINTENANCE
Retighten all bolts and nuts after the first 8 hours of work, specially
the ones of mouldboards, shares and points. Henceforth, check every 100
hours of work. When putting the plough away, clean and grease
thoroughly the mouldboards to prevent from rusting.
Lubrication: grease the greaser.
Safe maintenance
Be used to the maintenance procedures before carrying out the
works. The working zone must be clean and dry. Don’t carry out any work
of lubrication, repair or adjust with the motor enabled. Keep the hands,
feet and clothes always far from movable components. Turn all the
controls off, to alleviate the pressure. All the components must be in good
state and correctly installed. Repair damages immediately. Change any
worn away or broken pieces. Maintain all the components of the machine
clean of fat, oil and accumulated dirt. Because of being dragged
equipment, disconnect the cable groups of the tractor before making
works of weld in the machine.
Take care of the leaks of high pressure
The fluids that escape of the system can have as much force that
they can penetrate the skin, causing serious injuries. Therefore, it is
essential to leave the system without pressure before relaxing or
disconnecting any pipe and make sure that all the connections and the
hydraulic parts they are well tight before applying pressure to the system.
In order to locate a hydraulic oil leak, use a piece of cardboard that is put
on the connections. Do not approach the hands and the body to a leak of
high pressure. If, in spite of this precaution, it happens an accident, go
immediately to a doctor who should eliminate surgically the fluid within few
hours to avoid gangrene. The doctors who do not have experience in
dealing with these type injuries can go to a specialized medical centre.
Storage of the hydraulic sleeves.
IMPORTANT:
maintain the plugs clean. The abrasive particles, like
the sand or the metallic shaving, can damage the oil seals, shirts and
cylinders, causing internal leaks. Once disconnected of the tractor, make
sure that they are not in contact with the ground
