2.2. Purpose of the SPEC HD cultivator

 

The SPEC HD cultivator is an all-purpose machine for shallow ploughing or used instead 

of ploughing for:

 

 

shallow stubble cultivation (up to 15 cm) to mix post-harvest residues, stop soil 
water evaporation, 

 

 

increase  the  growth  of  weeds  and  self-seeding  plants,  and  reduce  ploughing 
resistance, or deep 

 

 

cultivation,

 

 

deep cultivation (up to 35 cm) to loosen cultivated soil, mix mineral and organic 
fertilizers, and prevent 

 

 

mineralisation of humus in the ploughing soil.

 

The application of right and left side shields improves the degree of stubble mixing. As a 
result,  the  concentration  of  phenol  compounds  affecting  the  growth  of  crops  in  the 
following year is reduced. The application of the SPEC HD cultivator for deep cultivation 
eliminates the need of ploughing, and as such, this allows cost reduction, eliminates the 
risk of excessively compacted soil, and helps to complete farming work on time.

 

 

NOTE! The cultivator is designed exclusively for agricultural use. Use for any 

other purpose will be construed as misuse and will void the warranty. Failure 
to comply with the recommendations in these operating instructions will also 
be construed as misuse.

 

 

NOTE!  The  manufacturer  is  not  liable  for  damage  resulting  from  the 
operation of the machine not in accordance with its intended use.

 

 

 3.

 

General safety rules

 

  

The  cultivator  may  only  be  used  and  repaired  by  persons  who  are  familiar  with  its 

operation and the mating tractor and with the rules of conduct for the safe operation and 
handling of the cultivator. The manufacturer is not responsible for arbitrary changes to 
the  design  of  the  cultivator.  During  the  warranty  period,  only  factory-made  "MANDAM" 
parts must be used.

 

  

The cultivator should be operated with all precautions in mind, in particular:

 

 

before each start-up, check that the cultivator and the tractor are in safe condition 
when moving and working,

 

 

use of the machine by minors, persons who are ill or under the influence of alcohol 
or other intoxicants is prohibited,

 

 

use work clothes, footwear and gloves when carrying out maintenance work,

 

 

permissible axle loads and transport dimensions must not be exceeded,

 

 

use only original safety and split pins,

 

 

when  working  with  the  cultivator,  when  lifting,  lowering  and  unfolding,  there 
should be no bystanders in the vicinity, especially children,
