Replace the drag axle after 1000 km
On large mounted ploughs we recommend that you replace the drag
axle after 1000 km of road transport. Road transport causes impercep-
tible damage to the drag axle.
Use protective clothing
Use protective clothing, e.g. gloves, when working with sharp parts of
the plough. Parts that come into contact with the soil can be very
sharp. Failure to handle these carefully may lead to injury.
Use original spare parts
Use only genuine Kverneland spare parts. Other products may ad-
versely affect the correct operation of the plough and safety. The war-
ranty will no longer be valid if parts not produced by Kverneland are
used.
Check the tyre pressure
Regularly check to ensure the tyre pressure meets the requirements.
Pressures which are too high or low may cause damage and exces-
sive wear of the tyre.

Driving on the
road
Hydraulics
During road transport, the taps for the hydraulic control system must
be locked.
Be aware of the plough’s length
The plough is long, and swings out when turning. In tight turns, avoid
swinging the rear of the plough into obstacles.
Stabilise the drawbars
The tractor's drawbars must always be stabilised. This will prevent the
plough from accidentally moving sideways.
Obey local rules
Obey the local rules when driving with the plough on public roads. For
example
•
have all necessary lights installed and warning signs displayed.
•
do not exceed the maximum permitted weights, loads and dimen-
sions.
The user is responsible for ensuring that the plough complies with the
law when driving on public roads.
Adapt your speed: max 25 km/h
Your driving speed must be adapted to the road conditions under all
circumstances, but must never exceed 25 km/h. Excessively high
speeds cause excessive forces on the tractor, plough and transport
wheel. This may lead to breakage or other damage.
