2. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
PREPARATION OF THE PLOUGH
Check that the quick-couplings on the hydraulic hoses are the same type as the quick-
couplings on the tractor. If required, fit the correct quick-couplings, to suit your tractor.
Check that the cross-shaft on the plough has the correct category to suit your tractor.
Cross shafts are available in different categories:
Cat. 2 means ø 28 mm cross-shaft pins
Cat. 3 means ø 36 mm cross-shaft pins
The length of the cross shaft is determined by the track widths of the tractor and the spacing
of the lower links on the tractor’s rear axle. When the spacing is > 550 mm on the tractor’s
rear axle, use the 965 mm long cross shaft.

MOUNTING THE PLOUGH ON TO THE TRACTOR
Make sure that the lower links can be lowered approximately 20 cm below the cross shaft of
the plough before the plough is mounted onto the tractor.
Check that the link ball joints are of the same category as the cross shaft pins. Lock the
cross-shaft into the tractor’s lower links with sufficient locking pins.
The stabilizers for the lower links should be adjusted so that the plough can move freely in
working position, but when raised the side movements should be limited.
The top link should be mounted slightly higher on the plough than on the tractor.
Consult the tractor manufacturers manual on mounting implements
and safe working methods.
