9.6.1.2. Adjustment of inclination (lateral level = vertical balance)
The bolts of the plough inclination (23) are placed under the turning levers. There are two bolts, one
on every side.
Be sure that you mount bolts in proper direction (23) on the casting:
¾ In the case of plough in the furrow the bolts (23) and check nuts (24) should be above.
¾ In the case of plough out of the furrow they should be beneath.
At the beginning of the second course the plough should be put vertically
on the ground for adjusting of inclination. To reach the adjustment easily
carefully with the help of the turning device disengage the beam from the
inclination bolt. To get the necessary inclination the adjustment of the
bolts (23) should be corrected. To continue the ploughing do not forget to
adjust the stop-piece (25) with adjusting bolt (23).
ATTENTION
: Do not put your hand between the beam and the
bolt. It is very dangerous and may lead to injury or even amputation or
death.

Generally, the plough connection must be put on the ground vertically (90°). If we plough on the slope
or very clayey soil the plough can be inclined in the plough direction to increase the pressure of the
rear part of the breast on the soil surface.
IMPORTANT: If we change the plough depth
then the inclination should be changed as well.
IMPORTANT:
It is normal if we notice the difference between the height of the inclination bolts (22) as
