CAUTION
Use original spare parts
Use only genuine Kverneland spare parts. Other products may ad

WARNING
Use protective clothing
Use protective clothing, e.g. gloves, when working with sharp
parts of the plow. Parts that come into contact with the soil can be
very sharp. Failure to handle these carefully may lead to injury.
Avoid skin contact with oils and lubricants
When handling oils or lubricants, prevent them coming into con

tact with the skin by using oil resistant gloves. Oils and lubricants
can damage the skin.

WARNING
Prior to maintenance of the plow
Ensure that the plow is correctly secured to prevent overturn

ing. Use additional safety devices when required.
Depressurize the hydraulic system.
Whenever possible, uncouple the tractor.
Place all controls in neutral or park.
Set tractor parking brake.
Switch off the tractor and remove the ignition key.
Ensure the machine is standing on firm, secure and level
ground, and provide additional support, if necessary.
Secure the machine against rolling away (use wheel chocks).
Clean the plow around the maintenance area
Only if these regulations are observed can safe working
be ensured during care and maintenance work. Unsecured
or non-supported machines can cause accidents.
