1 Introduction
We strongly recommend that you read the user’s manual and the safety instructions carefully.
The operator must be familiar with the V-plough in order to ensure safe usage.
1.1 Description of V-plough
This appliance is designed for snowploughing streets, car parks and other areas.
The appliance is intended for mounting onto an available attachment on farm tractors, bucket
loaders and compact tractors. The OPTIMAL V-plough can be equipped with a quick coupling for
mounting onto most tractor models. The standard V-plough is equipped with an electric hydraulic
power unit.
The V-plough can be set to three different positions depending on the type of work to be done.
POINTED SNOW PLOUGH for conventional snowploughing, Y- PLOUGH for pavements, street
crossings and other areas where the collecting and removing of snow is desirable, DIAGONAL
SNOW PLOUGH for car parks, streets etc. The scraper steels are spring-loaded and reversible.
The outer scraper steels have bent-over edges (scraper steels for pavements) which reduce the
risk of damage when an obstacle is encountered. The OPTIMAL V-plough has a hinged
suspension, which enables the implement to follow uneven surfaces.
The plough is as standard equipped with a so-called diagonal valve, which make it possible to
operate the wings individual or both together parallel (when one wing moves in the other one
moves out). With a diagonal valve the plough can be used in the same convenient way as a
traditional diagonal scraper blade.
2 Safety instructions
Safety precautions
This plough is intended for snowploughing.
Keep individuals, animals and vehicles out of
the working area.
Be careful not to hit kerbs and traffic islands.
The machine can catch stones or other hidden objects
and then discharge them during snowploughing.
CRUSH HAZARD! Be aware of the risk of being caught
between the plough wings and the central piece. KEEP
CLEAR of the working area when the tractor is running.
Never reverse the tractor when the plough is lowered (wrong direction).
Always turn off the tractor’s engine when maintaining and
repairing the implement.

CAUTION! WARNING! CRUSH HAZARD!
Avoid getting caught between
the central piece and the plough wings
3 Technical description
The wings of the V-plough can be individually adjusted to pivot forwards and backwards: 30° with
model 150, 40° with models 210 and 240, and 35° with models 280 and 320, and see figure 1.
Thanks to this, the plough can be used in a pointed, diagonal, or Y position:
3.1 Attachment
The attachment is articulated for a horizontal tilt of up to 8°.
With normal driving the tilt should be 8°, see fig. 2, pos. A. Always supply details of the type of
mounting system or the suspension of the vehicle onto which the plough is to be installed when
ordering a V-plough.
3.2 Skid shoes
The V-plough is equipped with two skid shoes which can be set to different heights, see figure 2,
pos. B. During the season’s first ploughing, it is most suitable to set the skid shoes to a lower
position in order to avoid unnecessary wear on the scraper steels. After that the skid shoes should
be set to the same height as the scraper steels.
3.3 Scraper steels
The scraper steels are reversible. Each mouldboard is spring-loaded thus reducing the risk of
damage when an obstacle is hit.
The plough is delivered with scraper steels with bent-over edges (plough blades for pavements)
that reduce the risk of damage if a kerb is hit. These scraper steels can be reversed by shifting the
left or right mouldboard.
3.4 Hydraulics
The V-plough is powered by a double-acting hydraulic outlet connected to the tractor’s hydraulic
unit or the third or fourth hydraulic function of the loader. The plough is equipped with an
electric/hydraulic diagonal valve which make it possible to operate the wings individual or both
together parallel (in diagonal mode). The electric/hydraulic diagonal valve is operated by a hand
unit in tractor’s cabin.

5 Installation
5.1 Lifting instructions
The V-plough is delivered strapped onto a Euro pallet.
There are two ways of lifting the plough from the pallet.
•directly onto the tractor’s attachment
•by a lifting tool such as a chain. Attach the lifting tool to the plough wings via the holes on
the supports, pos. A as well as around the hooks on the implement’s attachment arm,
pos. B.

5.2 Attaching the plough to the vehicle
The V-plough’s attachment arm fits the system of which details you supplied when ordering the
plough.
Mount the V-plough onto the tractor’s attachment as described in the tractor’s manual.
Ensure that the plough moves freely out of the tractor when attaching the plough.
5.3 Hydraulics
The V-plough is equipped with two 1.5-metre pressure hoses for attaching to the loader's third
hydraulic function or to another double-acting outlet on the tractor.
When in doubt about how to install the hydraulics, contact the tractor’s supplier.
The valves have a built-in shock function. If the hydraulic pressure inside the positive side of the
cylinder exceeds the set limits, the shock valve opens, releasing surplus pressure in an
accumulator.
Warning!
Modifications at ploughs hydraulic system and its connections will result in damages at
machine it hitting any firm obstacle.
5.4 Electricity

7 Driving instructions
The OPTIMAL V-plough is intended for the ploughing of snow.
The plough can be used as:
9A POINTED PLOUGH for conventional ploughing.
9A Y-PLOUGH for pavements, street crossings and other areas where the collecting and
removing of snow is desirable.
9A DIAGONAL PLOUGH for the snowploughing of car parks, streets etc.
•By means of position of the switch at hand unit, the driver chooses which wing to move
(left, right or both in the diagonal mode) a and also commands the hydraulic oil flow via a
double-acting outlet.
•The V-plough is equipped with two skid shoes which can be set to different heights. Take
care that this skid shoes is clean and can move free. Skid shoes must be levelled to ground
before lowering plough, all to avoid damages on attachment device.
When ploughing in a pointed plough position, don’t drive with the cylinders close to
each other. (The accumulators cease to function if the cylinders are very close to each
other). Avoid running into posts, railings etc. The plough is equipped with a shock valve
that allows oil from the positive side of the cylinder to flow to the accumulator in case of
collision. A collision brings about increased strain on the plough. When the cylinder
reaches its lowest mechanical position there is no collision protection and the plough’s
frame can be damaged.
Be careful not to hit kerbs and traffic islands. The standard plough is supplied with
scraper steels for pavements which reduce the risk of damage to the machine.
NEVER DRIVE THE LOADER IN THE FLOATING POSITION!!
Don’t push the plough down as this puts unnecessary strain
on the implement and increases wear.
NEVER REVERSE WHEN THE PLOUGH IS LOWERED!!
