Safety
Maintain at regular intervals
Perform maintenance on the plow at regular intervals as described in
»Care and maintenance«. Also replace worn parts as described.
Plows which are not well maintained can malfunction. This can result
in damage to the plow or personal injury.
No welding
Do not weld any part of the plow. The plow is made from reinforced
steel, and welding will greatly impair the strength of the plow. Welding
can result in the plow failing.
Retighten bolts and nuts
Retighten all the bolts and nuts on the plow at regular intervals. This
is especially important after the first few hours of use. Loosening of
bolts and nuts can result in personal injury.

Replace the cross shaft after 1000 km (621 miles)
On large mounted plows we recommend you to replace the cross
shaft after 1000 km (621 miles) of road transport. Road transport can
result in non-visible damage to the cross shaft.
Proper working condition
Ensure that the tractor and the machine are always in proper working
condition. Make sure that the tractor brakes work in synchronisation
with the machine. Also follow the instructions in your tractor's
operator’s manual.
Wear protective clothing
Wear protective clothing, e.g. gloves, when working with sharp parts
of the plow. In particular, parts which come into contact with the soil
can be very sharp. Careless handling can result in injury.
Spesified workwear
Do not wear loose fitting or other inappropriate clothing. Loose fitting
items of clothing may become caught in rotating parts. Wear the prop
-
er protective clothing. Different environments may require special
clothing to preform the operation and maintenance of the plow. Seri
-
ous or fatal injury may be caused if these guidelines are not followed.
Use original spare parts
Use only genuine Kverneland spare parts. Other products may
adversely affect the correct operation of the plow and safety. The
warranty will no longer be valid if parts not produced by Kverneland
are used.
Check the tire pressure
Regularly check that the tire pressure meets the requirements. Incor
-
rect tire pressure can result in damage and poor performance.
