1 Introduction
1.1 General
Before starting to use the plough, you are strongly recommended to carefully read through
the manual and safety instructions.
The user must be familiar with the UPX plough in order to guarantee safe usage.
1.2 Description of UPX plough
The UPX plough’s wings can be adjusted. This means that the plough can be used both as a
diagonal blade and as a U plough.
The plough is intended to be connected to the existing attachment for agricultural tractors, loaders
and compact tractors, and from now on these will collectively be referred to as ‘tool carriers’.
The TREJON OPTIMAL UPX plough can be equipped with an attachment for most tool carriers.
The plough is equipped with a hydraulic valve as standard. This makes it possible to operate each
wing independently or both wings at the same time.
The UPX folding plough can be set in a number of different positions, depending on the type of
work to be performed.
U-CONFIGURATION, D-CONFIGURATION, S-CONFIGURATION and Z-CONFIGURATION.
The UPX cutting blades work as standard with a 15° positive cutting angle.
This provides an efficient and clean cut, even at high speeds. The power
requirement is also reduced.

1.5 Attachment with floating mode function
The floating mode attachment is movable for vertical pivoting and twisting (horizontal)
(see figures 1, 2 and 3 below for a description of the movement capacity).
It is important to position the floating mode attachment so that it can move freely up and down.
Lower the plough to the ground. Lower the attachment to its end position (see Figure 2) and then
lift the attachment approximately 70-80 mm. In this position (floating mode), the plough is able to
follow the surface optimally.

1.6 Connection
The type of attachment / hook (1) for the tool carrier’s loader (3) or suspension must always
be specified when ordering a UPX plough. It is important to use the correct tightening torque:
M20 (420 Nm) and M16 (215 Nm) for all bolts (4) when installing the attachment / hook (1) on
the plough’s floating bracket (2).
Figure 5
Warning!
Loose or poorly tightened bolts can cause the plough to come loose and cause
material damage and/or personal injury!
1.7 Blank attachment
There are many different machines. In those cases where the Trejon does NOT have a
ready-made attachment, customers can weld these onto a blank plate themselves. There is a
ready-made kit for this, art. no. 84005 –see Figure 6. Customers can weld attachment hooks
for the load carrier themselves. For mounting on a UPX plough, read section 1.6.
Warning!
It is the person who welds/manufactures the attachment who is responsible for
any incorrectly performed welding/manufacturing that may result in future injuries
or accidents.

1.9 Support plates
The UPX plough is equipped with two support plates, which can be adjusted using a crank
(size NV19) to the desired position. Remove the ring pin (1) and lock plate (2) from the adjustment
screw (3) before carrying out height adjustment –see Figure 8. Use the crank (4) for height
adjustment 360° = 5 mm –see Figure 9. Restore the lock plate (2) and ring pin (1) to lock the
adjustment screw (3) following height adjustment –see Figure 10.
Figure 8 Figure 9 Figure 10
When ploughing for the first time or when the roadway is soft, it can be an advantage to raise
the UPX plough (X ≥ 0) (see Figure 11). This is done to prevent unnecessary wear on the cutting
blades and to avoid cutting up gravel.
After ploughing a few times or once the roadway has frozen and become hard, you are recommended
to lower the UPX plough by adjusting the support plates upwards to the same level (X = 0) as the
cutting blades (see Figure 12).
Better ploughing results are achieved once this has been done.
NOTE!
Always replace damaged or worn support plates in time –Trejon art. no. 144636.
If the plate comes loose, the support leg will also be damaged. This is NOT
covered by any warranty.
NOTE!
Make sure that the support plates are the same height on both sides.
Damage due to incorrect adjustment is NOT covered by any warranty.

1.10 Cutting blades
The UPX plough is not equipped with a cutting blade as standard (see Figure 13).
The plough must not be used without cutting blades.
Each UPX plough must be configured with suitable cutting blades. It is possible to choose between
different cutting blades: smooth SHARQ (I), perforated SHARQ P300 (II) and wear rubber scraper
blades (III).
Use the accompanying (for each UPX plough) fixation components such as screws (S),
washers (N) and nuts (M) to mount the cutting blades (see Figure 14).
For wear rubber scraper blades (40 mm thickness), longer
screws and a fixing plate are required (see Figure 15).
These are included in the kit –see options, Chapter 5.
When installing these, the same tightening torque must
be used for all screws. The fixing plate must be pressed
into the rubber scraper blade MAX 2-4 mm.
It is easiest to mount the cutting blades when the plough has been raised from the ground.
This requires that the plough or the loader arm on the tool carrier is steadily raised and
secured.
•Activate the tool carrier’s parking brake.
•Raise the plough to the desired height.
•Support the plough or the loader arm so that the plough cannot drop down.
•Make sure that the surfaces of the steel holders (D) are clean before installing
the cutting blades, see Figure 14.
•Personal protective equipment: Helmets, protective goggles, safety shoes
and gloves must be worn during the installation or replacement of the cutting
blades.

NOTE!

Instruction manual TREJON OPTIMAL UPX plough (2010)

On the back of the plough body are springs (F) that are anchored in the steel holders (D).
This means that the cutting blades are sprung. The sprung cutting blades reduce damage
in the event of a collision.
The outer cutting blades (A) have a bent edge (not wear rubber) which reduces the risk of
becoming stuck in obstacles.
It is important to check wear and tear on the cutting blades daily. There are many factors that
affect this. These factors include ploughing speed, substrate, cutting angle, support plates and
adjustment of the floating mode. It is therefore important to maintain the distance W ≥ 10 mm
between the lower edge of the cutting blades (1) and the lower edge of the steel holder (2)
(see Figure 16).
When the wear is significant and the distance W≤ 10 mm (see Figure 17), it is time to move all the
cutting blades downwards (see Figure 18). When this position is also worn, the cutting blades (B)
are turned or shifted (from left to right and vice versa); this applies to the cutting blades with bent
ends (A). It is important that the cutting blades do not protrude downwards more than 60 mm,
i.e. W max. = 60 mm.
NOTE!
Trejon Optimal cutting blades are made of the highest quality steel to provide a
low overall cost. The cutting blades are wear components and their service life
CANNOT be determined. The cutting blades are NOT covered by any warranty.
NOTE!
Damage due to the use of other cutting blades is NOT covered by any warranty.
NOTE!
Always replace cutting blades when they have become worn.

1.11 Cutting angle –adjustment
The default cutting angle is 15° (Z = 420 mm) –see Figure 19. In general, cutting angles only need to
be adjusted after the springs have been replaced –see section 1.12.
Dimension Z –see Figure 19 –can be used as a control measure. By tightening the nut (M) in the
upper part of the spring rod (P), the cutting angle is smaller –for cutting angle 0°, Z = 390 mm.
Loosening the nut (M) makes the angle larger.

1.12 Springs –pretensioning of cutting blades –adjustment
NOTE!
If the pretension of the cutting blades is too high, there is a risk of accidents and
of the device breaking. The sprung cutting blades are a safety arrangement, and
they are intended to make ploughing safe. If any of the springs has become deformed or
broken off, we recommend that all the springs on the blade be replaced, art. no. 200595.
The default pretension, i.e. spring Y dimension, is 330 mm –see Figure 20.
To increase the pretension, adjust Y dimension as follows:
1) Loosen nuts M1 and M2 in the lower part of the spring –see Figure 20
2) Tighten nut M1 upwards two turns at a time and test operate. Repeat until the tension
is just right –see Figure 21
3) Tighten nut M2 against nut M1 to lock the spring –see Figure 22
NOTE!
If the pretension of the cutting blades is too low, the cutting blades constantly
give way, the ploughing results are poor, the plough jumps and causes
unnecessary noise.
To decrease the pretension, adjust Y dimension as follows:
4) Loosen nuts M1 and M2 in the lower part of the spring –see Figure 22
5) Tighten nut M2 downwards –see Figure 21
6) Tighten nut M1 downwards two turns at a time and test operate. Repeat until the tension
is just right –see Figure 21
7) Tighten the lower nut M2 against nut M1 to lock the spring –see Figure 20
