Preparations on the tractor
General
Please observe the power range limits of the tractor being used.
Wheels
- Air pressure in the tractor’s rear tyres when ploughing should be 0.8
bar.
- Under difficult operating conditions additional wheel weights can be
advantageous. See the tractor manufacturer’s operating manual also.
Ballast weight
• Sufficient ballast weights are to be stacked on the front
of the tractor in order to guarantee steering and braking
capabilities.
• At least 20% of the tractor’s tare weight on the front axle.
Lifting gear
- Left and right lifting struts (4) must be of equal length.
Adjust using adjusting device (3).
- If the lifting struts on the lower link can be pinned variously, then select
the back position (H). In so doing the tractor’s hydraulic unit will not be
heavily loaded.
- Position (2) the upper link (1) according to the tractor manufacturer’s
information.
Setting-up for transportation
- Fix the lower link with the struts (5) so that the attached implement cannot
swing out during transportation.
- The hydraulic’s operating lever must be secured against lowering.
- Do not transport in the „ON-LAND“ position
Setting-up for ploughing
- Set the struts (5) so that the greatest possible sideways swing range
exists.
Hydraulic control on the lifting gear
Control position:
For mounting and dismounting the implement and for transportation.
The control position is the normal setting for the lifting gear hydraulics.
The mounted implement remains at the height (= position) set by the servo-
valve (ST).
Pull control, mix control:
Ploughing occurs with of one of the two operating modes. See chapter

Setting the plough to the tractor
using "SERVOMATIC"
„SERVOMATIC“ enables the optimum adaption of plough to tractor.
The following setting controls should be carried out in order.
• Never reach into the area where danger of crushing
exists as long as parts are still moving.
• Do not stand in the swinging range of the implement.
1. Set furrow width
- See chapter 02%3%44).' 4(% 0,/5'(
2. Furrow width setting of the first ploughing component
(backfurrow)
The cutting width (S2) of the first ploughing component is set by turning
the spindle (VF).
Furrow width (S1) to narrow
- turn spindle (VF) longer
Furrow width (S2) to wide
- turn spindle (VF) shorter
Furrow width (S2) correct
- Spindle is correctly set according to table.

However an additional double-action control unit is necessary on
the tractor.
Incorrect setting
The drawing line does not run through the mid-point of the tractor’s rear
axle. Tractor is drawn into already ploughed area during ploughing. This
can only be compensated by steering in the opposite direction.
- Turn spindle (ZP) longer
See chapter 02%3%44).' 4(% 0,/5'(h
3. Setting the drawing point (Z)
Correct setting
The drawing line (ZL) runs through the mid-point (M) of the tractor’s

Turning the plough over
Beware!
Nobody is to stand within the swinging range during
turning.
Turning procedure is only to be actuated from the
tractor cabin.
The plough must be completely raised to turn.
The turning unit is equipped with a double-action cylinder and
intergrated automatic reversing gear.
The automatic reversing gear enables the whole turning procedure
to be carried out through only one single switch position on the
control unit (ST).
Turning procedure
The turning procedure is carried out in the same way for both the
single-action and the double-action control unit.
A return line is necessary on the tractor for a single-action control
unit.
- Switch control unit (ST) to lift (h).
The plough is turned 180¯.
- Switch control unit (ST) to neutral (O).
After some 5 seconds another turning procedure can be effected.
Special fitting for 4 and 5 blade ploughs
Hydraulic cylinder (22) to swing the plough in
The hydraulic cylinder (22) swings the plough frame to the tractor
centre before turning over. This enables 4 and 5 blade ploughs to
be turned without problem. After turning is completed the hydraulic
cylinder (22) swings the plough back into the working position.
Only one double-action or one single-action control unit with return
line is necessary on the tractor. This control unit simultaneously
accommodates the hydraulic cylinder (22) and the cylinder in the
turning unit.

Setting the plough gradient (11)
The plough should sit as vertical (90°) as possible to the
ground during ploughing. This position is obtained by
turning both spindles (11) as described below.
- Lift plough 5 - 10 cm
- Actuate control unit (ST) briefly.
The plough turns slightly away from the stop
spindle (11).
- Set the gradient using the spindle (11).
- Turn plough back to stop again.
- Proceed with ploughing and check whether the
plough sits more vertically (90°) to the ground through
the new setting.

Ploughing with control hydraulic
So that the hydraulic control functions properly, the following must
be observed.
- Position upper link (1) so that the attachment point (P1) on the plough
during operation is somewhat higher than the attachment point (P2)
on the tractor.
Pinning the upper link
LL, RL = Pinning position for securing
lower link
RL =
Pinning position for securing upper link
See chapter „ATTACHING TO THE TRACTOR“ also.
- During operation the plough should lie lengthwise as parallel as possible to the ground
surface.
- The working depth is set with the lifting gear via the servo-valve firstly.
Depending upon the hydraulic control model, varying ground resistance when ploughing
is passed on to the control servo-valve via the upper link (1) or both the lower links. The
relevant impulse is then converted causing the lifting gear to lift or lower.
An example: Securing upper link
The plough penetrates deeper into the ground.
This causes the pressure on the control servo-valve via the upper link to become greater.
As a consequence, the control valve remains switched to lift until the set working depth is reached again.
Note:
Follow the tractor manufacturer’s operating manual also.
Optional equipment:
Hydraulic cutting width adjustment (SERVO PLUS)
A hydraulic cylinder actuates the adjusting unit. Therefore an additional double-action control unit is necessary on the tractor.
Limitless cutting width adjustment can be carried out during ploughing. The drawing line position is not influenced by this (see "Setting the
drawing point (Z)").
Advantages:
- accurate ploughing along boundaries.
- ploughing around obstacles (masts, trees, etc.).

Shear bolts
The ploughing components are fastened with shear bolts.
When overloaded the shear bolts break (30) and the ploughing component swings away and up.
- Remove the rest of the shear bolt.
- Loosen hexagonal bolt (31).
- Swing ploughing component back into the working position.
- Insert new shear screws and retighten both bolts.
Take note!
Only use genuine shear bolts (see spare parts list) with the corresponding dimension and quality. Under no circumstances

Fully automatic „Nonstop“ overload safety
The fully automatic overload safety is recommended for soils
which are difficult to plough e.g. soil with stones or other foreign
bodies.
Every ploughing component is hydromechanically safeguarded
against damage on the
SERVO-NOVA plough.
When driving over an
obstacle the ploughing
body swings out to either
side and then swings
automatically back into
the working position. There
is no need to stop the
tractor.
Along with the fully automatic „Nonstop“ overload safety, all
component carriers have a shear bolt as additional protection. See
chapter /6%2,/!$ 3!&%49h for a description.
Setting range
• The overload safety release force can be adapted to the various
soil types.
.ORMAL SETTING
- Pressure in the hydraulic cylinders (40) must be approx. 10 bar
greater than the nitrogen pressure in the gas accumulator (43).

- Connect plug-in coupling (42) to the tractor.
- Open shut-off valve (position E). The hydraulic pressure drops.
- Actuate servo-valve on tractor until the manometer shows the
desired pressure. Then close the shut-off valve (position A).
Take note!
The shut-off valve must always be closed (position A)
when ploughing.
- Depressurize top-up line using servo-valve.

Gas accumulator (43):
Pressure in the gas accumulator can also be altered.
A reduction or increase of gas pressure in the accumulator depends upon the various soil
types.
• With very light soil the gas pressure can be somewhat reduced.
Important!
• No welding, soldering or mechanical work of any kind may be carried out on the
accumulator.
Altering pressure in the gas accumulator
This work must be carried out only by our Customer Service or by a specialist work shop.
A special filling and testing device is required to reduce or increase the preload pressure in the gas accu-
mulator.
1. Reduce pressure:
a) Remove plastic cap.
Remove the lead mould plug (if it exists) in the gas filling plug (44) with a pointed tool.
b) Slightly loosen the gas filling plug (44).
c) Screw on filling and testing device.
d) Slightly open the outlet valve on the filling device.
Slowly let the nitrogen out (N) until the mamometer shows the desired pressure has been
reached.
e) Close outlet valve, remove filling device, tighten gas filling plug and knock the lead mould plug
(if it exists) back in.
2. Increase pressure:
• Only use nitrogen (N) to fill the accumulator, do not use oxygen
(danger of explosion).
f) Connect filling device to nitrogen bottle.
g) Remove plastic cap.
Remove the lead mould plug (if it exists) in the gas filling plug (44) with a pointed tool.
Slightly loosen the gas filling plug (44).
Screw on filling and testing device.
h) Screw testing device onto nitrogen bottle.
i) Slightly open the outlet valve on the filling device and fill with nitrogen until the mamometer shows the required pressure has been
reached.
k) Close outlet valve, remove filling device, tighten gas filling plug and knock the lead mould plug (if it exists) back in.
Take note
All gas accumulators show a slight pressure drop after a certain period of time, according to "HYDAC" factory specifications.
The gas loss amounts to approx. 2-3 % pa.
It is recommended that the accumulator pressure be checked and, if necessary, regulated after 4-5 years.

General maintenance advice
In order to keep the implement in good condition even after a long
service life, please observe the following points:
- After the first hours of operation retighten all screws.
During the operating season
- Check all screws occasionally and retighten if necessary.
- Grease the four greasing points on both of the swing bolts weekly.
- Grease all other greasing points at least twice per season.
At the same time oil joints and adjusting spindles also.
Expendable parts
- Replace worn out expendable parts in time to prevent all stress-
bearing parts from becoming damaged.
Tyre pressure
- Pay attention to the correct tyre pressure!
Check tyre pressure regularly!
• Danger of bursting exist when inflating or when tyre
pressure is too great!
Cleaning the machine parts
Take note!
Do not use a high pressure cleaner to clean bearings or hydraulic
parts.
- Danger of rust formation!
- Lubricate the machine after cleaning and carry out a short trial
run.
- Cleaning with too much pressure can damage the paintwork.
Parking in the open
When parking in the open for
longer periods, clean plunger
rods and then grease.
Winter storage
- Thoroughly clean the machine
before storing.
- Store the machine where it is
weather protected.
- Protect exposed parts against rusting.
- Grease all greasing points
Hydraulic unit
- Check hydraulic hoses regularly for damage.
Immediately replace porous or damaged hydraulic hoses.
FETT
Beware: Danger of infection!
• Where there are dfects in the
hydraulicunit, do nottouchareas
of leakage.
Before working on the hydraulic unit
- lower implement to the ground.
- When carrying out maintenance work on
a raised implement always make it secure
with a suitable support.
- Depressurize the hydraulic unit and turn
the motor off.

Basic setting of the ploughing component
Checks must be made in the following order after replacing worn out parts:
1. Stand the plough on even ground.
2. The gap (A) between plough and blade cutting edege must be the same for all ploughing components.
3. Check the gap (B1) on the last ploughing component.
B1 = 0 - 5 mm for ploughing components* of the type W, UWS
10 - 20 mm for ploughing components* of the type UW, UWS, WSS
4. Set the same measurement for gap (B) as for B1.
 4HE TYPE OF PLOUGHING COMPONENT IS SHOWN CLEARLY ON THE MANUFACTURERS PLATE
Setting the ploughing component tilt
If the plough is not penetrating the ground correctly, an improvement
can be obtained by turning the eccentric bush.
• The blade point in the area „S“ is set either higher or lower depending
upon the position of the eccentric bush (A or B).
• Retighten screws after resetting.
On some models a catch plate is fitted instead of an eccentric bush.

(* Beware! Danger of injury on the cutting edges.
Setting the disk coulter (*
• Set the cutting depth of the disk coulter at a gap of 5 cm to the
ploughing blade tip.
• The lengthwise fitting position is preselected by moving the carrier
on the console.
Further fitting positions arise by swivelling the eccentric (50)
180°.
• The lateral gap to the ploughing blade tip should be 2 - 3 cm. It is
set by swiveling the eccentric (50).

Pre-ploughing implements:
Maize skimmer, Manure skimmer
These implements are designed to incorporate surface trash
straw or manure in the soil.
• Set the working depth to 1/3 of the total working depth.
• The lengthwise fitting position should lie over or behind the ploughing
blade tip. Where there is a lot of surface growth, or when ploughing
in straw, the pre-ploughing implements should be set back as far
as possible.
Leg deflector (60)
Leg deflector, which are fitted to the ploughing component, serve
to bend the stalks less when ploughing in straw enabling them to
slide off better.
Trashboards (61)
For ploughing in manure or other fertilizers.
• Trashboards for ploughing components of the type UW, W, WSS.
These implements can be used instead of manure mulchers (see
above) but are not very effective with shallow working depths.
Knife coulter (62) (*
This implement can be used instead of a disk coulter (see above)
however it is not adjustable.

Double feeler wheel
• The double feeler wheel is fitted to the last ploughing component.
• The working depth is set via the spindle (70) using the accompanying
ratchet.
• When ploughing with a 4 blade plough the
double feeler wheel can be fitted to the
second last ploughing component. This
has the advantage that when ploughing
along the boundary the feeler wheel does
not greatly project over the last ploughing
component.
