SAFETY
5.7. Residual risk
5.7.1. Description of residual risk
5.7.2. Residual risk assessment
Residual risk mainly results from incorrect behaviour of the operator of the
plough mounted on the tractor. Reasons for such behaviour of a person
operating the machine are ignorance and inattention.
Despite the fact, that the AGRO-MASZ company – the manufacturer of the
plough POM, takes the responsibility for the design and manufacture, in
order to eliminate hazard, certain risk when operating the machine is
unavoidable.
Major source of risk follows these forbidden operations:
• stay of personnel on the plough during work and transport,
• stay of personnel between the tractor and the plough when the tractor's
engine is working,
• stay of personnel nearby the plough when it is being lifted, lowered or
rotated,
• operation of the machine when tractor engine is working,
• operation of the machine lifted on the linkage and unprotected against falling
down,
• stay of unauthorised personnel nearby the plough while operating,
• operation of the plough and the tractor in poor technical condition.
When describing residual risk, the plough shall be considered a machine,
which until the production start has been designed and manufactured in
accordance with the state of the art current as for the date of manufacture.
Apply the following recommendations:
• carefully read and follow rules herein,
• do not put hands into restricted areas,
• stay of personnel on the machine during work and transport is prohibited,
• stay of personnel between the tractor and the machine with the tractor's
engine working is prohibited,
•stay of personnel nearby the machine when it is being lifted, lowered and
rotated is prohibited,
•stay of unauthorised personnel nearby the plough while operating is
prohibited,
•operation of the plough is allowed only by the personnel who are trained and
acquainted with this instruction manual,
•performance of repair and maintenance works only by personnel who are
properly trained,
•protection of the plough against access by children, unauthorised personnel
and animals,
- elimination of all accident hazards to ensure safe use of the rotary plough
POM.
The AGRO-MASZ company, the manufacturer of the plough POM declares
that in the current state of the art it is not possible to eliminate the existing
residual risk. This risk can be reduced by using the plough POM in
accordance with the recommendations specified in this instruction manual.
Page 25
25
SAFETY
ATTENTION! Accident hazards resulting from the existing residual
risk appear in case of failure to observe the specified recommendations and
guidelines.
5.8. Stability of tractor - plough assembly
The tractor-plough assembly can lose its stability due to weight of the
mounted machine.
To calculate the required minimum front ballast, and also determine by how
many kilograms the load of the tractor's rear axle should be increased, in
order to ensure stability of the whole assembly, the user should know
parameters of the tractor and the plough applicable to the below
calculations.
Mounting of machines to the tractor cannot result in exceeding the maximum
permissible values, i.e. total mass of the whole tractor-plough assembly, load
of the front and rear axles, and tyre carrying capacity.
Below there are the most useful formulas to calculate maximum permissible
loads.
To calculate increase in load of the tractor's rear axle:
In order to verify the total stability, to calculate minimum mass of front ballast
weights I
the tractor overall weight, the below formula can be used:
in kg, allowing to achieve load of the front axle equal to 20% of

VI. GENERAL INFORMATION
The plough, intended for sale, is delivered assembled by the manufacturer.
Plough bodies are equipped with sectional mouldboards, ploughshares with
bolted chisel, strips and landsides and skimmers to be mounted above
mouldboards for better coverage of plant residues. Mounting of plough body
core (frog) to plough beam enables plough body tilt angle adjustment. Before
the last body, a disk cutter is mounted for better slicing of furrow from
undisturbed soil.

6.2. Construction of plough
Overview of plough POM in version with skim coulters.
6.3. Constructional changes
Construction of a single body.
Equipment of your machine can slightly differ from equipment provided in
figures or in descriptions included in this instruction manual.
The manufacturer reserves the right to make further technical modifications
of the machine, relating to both its basic construction and additional
equipment, due to the adaptation to the ever developing technical level.
REMEMBER! All modifications and alterations of the plough made without a
written consent of the manufacturer are forbidden, or they can result in a
decrease of the machine's parameters.
Page 29

OPERATION
VII. MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Before working, it is necessary to carefully get acquainted with the
function and construction of the tractor's and plough's parts.
7.1. Preparation of the tractor to work with the plough
REMEMBER! In order to make proper adjustments of the below-described
sub-assemblies of the tractor, observe the provisions specified in the
instruction manual provided by the tractor manufacturer.
7.1.1. Tyres
In order to maintain proper service lifetime of the tyres and achieve optimum
driving properties, check and correct tyre pressure, if necessary. In
particular, it is essential to maintain the same pressure level in the tractor's
rear tyres. In difficult conditions, while observing the provisions of the
instruction manual of the tractor, it is recommended to add further ballast
weights to wheels or to fill up the tyres with a liquid. Air pressure in the tyres
must be accordingly not too high to ensure the optimum tractive force and
not too low so that the rims do not damage the tyres at the same time.
REMEMBER! In order to ensure equal working depth for the
plough, take care that pressure in the tractor's tyres is the same in right and
left tyres.
7.1.2. Wheel track
For ploughing, the wheel track is
measured as a space between
the internal surfaces of the
tractor's tyres. The distance
between the external edges of
front wheels should be equal to,
or slightly greater than, the
distance between rear wheels.
Page 30
30
OPERATION
7.1.3. Three-point linkage
The construction of the
three-point linkage is
based on the principle
that the tractor and the
mounted machine are
intended to operate as
an integral assembly.
The functionality of
such assembly depends
on a setting of the
upper link (1) and
lower links (2) adjusted
on hangers (3).
In order to facilitate the optimum arrangement of the plough, if the tractor
has several points for the attachment of the upper link, the said link should
be fixed at the top-most point.
Lower links should be set on the same height (x) by means of adjustment on
hangers. Hangers should be set so as to enable lowering of lower link to
approx. 30 cm below the plough's linkage axis and lifting of the plough onto
an adequate height for the plough's rotation and safe transport.
Regardless of whether the lower links are equipped with chains, telescopic
struts, or other side movement stabilisation system, the system should be
adjusted so that the mounted plough can move slightly sideways during work
and it does not tilt too much during transport.
7.1.4. Hydraulic system
The tractor should have 2
independent external
hydraulic sections – 2
pairs of push-in fittings
(1), i.e. two hydraulic
outputs of two-side action
to ensure plough's
rotation and two hydraulic
outputs of two-side action
for ruling cylinder
(option).
Page 31
31
OPERATION
7.1.5. Front axle load
The tractor must be
equipped with front weights (1) to ensure
the optimum driving
properties, proper mass
distribution and equal
working depth of
ploughing.
The calculation
procedure of the
counterweight mass for
the plough as the ballast
weights mounted in front
of the tractor is discussed in the “Stability of the tractor-plough assembly”
sub-section, page 16.
ATTENTION! Attachment of the cultivating machine on the tractor
three-point linkage must not cause the maximum load parameters specified
by the tractor manufacturer to be exceeded.
7.2. Preparation of the plough
•Before work, check technical condition of the plough, and working parts and
hydraulic system in particular. Replace any damaged or worn parts causing
the plough's work quality to decrease.
•Check bolting connections, and tighten nuts, if any plays are found. After
about 3 hours of ploughing, tighten all bolts and nuts.
•Lubricate the plough in accordance with recommendations specified in the
lubrication table.
•Check the arrangement of plough bodies, and if there are no significant
differences between each particular body.
• Check whether adjustment screws turn without jamming.
• Check whether push-in fittings on the plough's hydraulic hoses match the
sockets on the tractor.
•Check the condition of hydraulic hoses (cannot be damaged) and
cleanliness of push-in fittings.
•Check the pressure in tyres of the transport wheel, which should be 350-425
kPa.
Page 32
32
OPERATION
7.2.1. Mounting the plough on the tractor
In order to attach the plough correctly and safely, the tractor should stand on
a firm and level ground.
While mounting the plough on the tractor proceed as follows:
• switch the tractor's hydraulic system into position adjustment,
• set the plough's latch bar in one of four positions and attach it on tractor's
lower links (possibly on ends of latch bar, attached on the plough, mount
ball-and-socket joints – depending what type of ends of three-point linkage
links the tractor is equipped with) and secure,
•reverse the tractor at a distance allowing connection of the latch bar to
forepart plates and the tractor's upper link to the plough's upper hanger,
• secure the suspension axle in forepart plates using pins (2) with cotters,
• attach the tractor's upper link and secure its pin. When ploughing the
attachment point for the plough's upper link should be higher than the
attachment point for the tractor's link,
• adjust the anti-roll bars of the tractor's lower links,
• connect the plough's hydraulic hoses to the tractor's external hydraulic
sections,
• unlock transport support,
• check the plough for lifting and lowering,
• perform a trial rotation of the plough to check whether during this operation
neither the support wheel nor the machine touches the ground.
WARNING! When mounting the plough on the tractor, in the three-
point linkage area, there is a risk of crushing!
Do not stand between the tractor and the machine!
Protect the tractor against rolling!
Page 33
33
OPERATION
7.3. Start of ploughing
The arrangements indicated below are essential, particularly if the plough is
operated for the very first time.
7.3.1. Upper attachment point
The plough can be
connected to the
end of the tractor's
upper link by
means of
permanent holes
(OS) or floating
holes (OP), which
additionally enable
the plough to lift
slightly whenever
a significant
resistance is
encountered.
Apart from that, it
is recommended
to use floating
holes for mounting, if the plough has 4 furrows or more.
If the upper link is to be connected to a floating hole (length-wise) on the
hanger, loosen the link so that when the plough is lowered, pin for the link is
relieved adjoining the hole's front end.
7.3.2. Spindles (bottle screws)
The internal
spindle (1) is used
for setting the
tractor-plough
hauling rope. If set
correctly, prevents
the plough's sliding,
and in turn provides
reduction in sliding
of the whole
tractor-plough
assembly, and fuel
consumption.
Page 34
34
OPERATION
When starting ploughing, in order to properly set the plough, note which
direction the tractor tends to veer to. If it turns towards the ploughed soil,
loosen the internal spindle, and if it turns towards unploughed field tighten
the internal spindle.
While external spindle (2) is used for changing of the furrow width. For
transport to the customer, it is often tightened to save space.
7.3.3. Bodies
principle as a hinge, then unscrew and put through the adjustment screw
(2), while moving the mounting with body accordingly and tighten the
screws. This needs to be done on mounting for each body in order to
maintain the same working width for all plough bodies.
An element
mounting each pair
of bodies (right and
left) to the frame
has holes for
working width
adjustment (from1 to 4), for a body,
within approx. 32
cm and 44 cm. In
order to adjust the
setting, loosen
central screw (1),
with same working
end to the frame for all bodies should be the same. Once the adjustment is
completed, re-tighten fastening bolts (S1 and S2).
Each body has the
approach angle
adjustment. To
align all bodies and
set the same
angle, use
adjustment screw
(SR) at the back of
each body. To start
the adjustment,
loosen fastening bolts (S1 and S2).
It is important that
the distance (x)
from the
ploughshare chisel
Page 35
35
OPERATION
However, if value of the angle of approach is too high, this can result in
undesired resistance and problems maintaining the same ploughing depth,
and finally, significant increase in fuel consumption.
When adjusting the body, do not loosen fastening bolts completely
to prevent detachment of elements of the body!
7.3.4. Mouldboards
Mouldboards are
made of tempered
steel, as they are
exposed to fast
wearing due to
contact with soil.
In order to produce
even furrows at
each passage, set
the approach angle
for all mouldboards
by means of
mouldboard
support screw (1).
In order to achieve optimum quality of the ploughing on the first use of the
plough, paint on the mouldboard, at the side which remains in contact with
soil when tilling, can be removed.
7.3.5. Support wheel
The plough is equipped with a standard universal support wheel.
Page 36
36
OPERATION
Wheel support has
a few-step vertical
adjustment,
separately for the
plough's right and
left side (screws S1 and S2). In
connection with
the tractor's
hydraulic system,
used for lifting and
lowering of the
plough, the
adjustable support
wheel can be used
for ploughing
depth adjustment. The wheel, if properly adjusted, bears partial weight of the
plough, and thus prevents excess and uneven penetration of the plough into
soil. However, it should be noted that the plough's general weight should, as
far as possible, be borne on the tractor, so as not to cause too much of
sliding. Despite proper setting of the support wheel, the operator should
monitor the machine's working depth by means of the tractor's hydraulic
system, and take notice of variable conditions (operation on light or difficult
grounds).
The support wheel
mounting on the
frame, has
additional
adjustment (in four
positions A, B, C,
D) to align the
track of the
plough. When
setting the tractor-
plough hauling
rope, correct the
wheel
arrangement to
prevent side
sliding of the plough and damage to the whole support wheel assembly.
ATTENTION! Around the support wheel, areas of cutting and
crushing risk are present! Exercise particular caution when removing the
wheel in “transport / work” positions, and when setting the wheel working
position!
Check pressure in the plough's wheels regularly. Too high or too low
pressure during work or transport, can result in damage of the tyre, and even
the whole machine or cause an accident!
Page 37
37
OPERATION
7.3.6. Adjustment of vertical tilt
After setting of a desired
ploughing depth and
setting of the tractor so
that right or left wheels
are level on a furrow,
adjust proper working
angle for the whole
machine (vertical
adjustment). It is
desirable that in
ploughing position,
between the ground and
plough beams on the
bodies an angle of 90
(the setting can be checked by looking at the plough from its behind).
For vertical adjustment
use two adjustment screws (L, P), located
on the plough's hanger
arms. They are used
for separate
adjustment of right and
left bodies.
In order to change the
setting of the screw for
one side of the plough,
lift the plough and
rotate it, and then
adjustment the screw,
rotate the plough again to starting point to continue the operation.
7.3.7. Adjustment of horizontal tilt
Once the first
furrow is completed,
correct the upper
link length, tilt,
furrow width, the
plough's working
depth and pressure
of the support
wheel. During work,
the plough's frame
always should be
parallel to the ground.
Page 38
38
OPERATION
7.4. Plough rotation
The plough's
rotary
mechanism is
based on twoside action
rotation
cylinder (1). The
cylinder is
mounted at the
back of hanger's
turret which
enables smooth
and safe
rotation.
External
spindle (2)
should be adjusted so that when the plough is lifted, the machine has a
sufficient clearance from the ground to ensure a collision-free full rotation,
taking into account also a change in the support wheel's position during this
procedure. If necessary, when adjustment of the spindle cannot provide a
sufficient amount of space for the plough's rotation, additionally change the
upper link's position on the hanger for higher.
Once the
plough's
rotation is
started from
the position
on right
bodies, the
two-side
action cylinder
will push the
plough to its
intermediate
position, and
then oil flow in
the cylinder is
automatically
changed,
while the plough is pushed to ploughing position on left bodies or the other
way round.
Plough in half-rotation position.
Before the plough's rotation is started, make sure within the
machine's range there are no personnel!
Page 39
39
OPERATION
7.5. Safety devices
The simplest in
use and the most
effective stone
protection device.
Each plough body
is protected with
shear bolts(s) of
adequate
hardness. These
bolts are mounted
in upper holes on
the plough beam
and holder
mounting the
whole body on the
frame. In lower
holes bolts of
greater hardness are provided, therefore once a stone is hit, an adequate
bolt is sheared, and the whole body is lifted up as on hinges.
Remember to use special bolts of adequate hardness. The
manufacturer uses shear bolts with hardness of 5.8.
Application of bolts of lower hardness, can lead to the need of replacing
them frequently, or deformation of the bolts which may damage of the
plough.
Also, use of bolts of too much hardness, can damage the machine. When
the body hits a stone, it is also possible that the bolt is not sheared, and e.g.
a ploughshare or other plough element can be subject to a damage.
Once the shear bolt is
sheared, at an adequate
point, the plough body
passes the obstacle by,
being lifted up, and then
the body gets back to the
working position.
To replace a sheared bolt:
•Carefully set the
body in its working position,
bearing in mind that it hangs on joint bolt (P), and protect it against
shifting,
• Remove remainders of the damaged bolt,
• Loosen bolt (P),
• Place and tighten new shear bolt (S),
• Tighten bolt (P).
Page 40
40
OPERATION
Keep a safe distance!
WARNING! Exercise particular caution when replacing shear bolt. Within the
area of protection of the plough body with shear bolt, there are cutting and
crushing risk points!
ATTENTION! Do not rotate the plough with released body! This may cause
damage to the machine!
During ploughing keep away from the area of plough body release!

TRANSPORT
VIII. TRANSPORT
8.1. Delivery and unloading
If the machine is purchased directly from the manufacturer, the transport
conditions are determined by AGRO-MASZ, if no other arrangements are
made with the customer. The delivery time-limit is settled by the
manufacturer in consultation with the customer. The seller (manufacturer) is
responsible for the proper packaging and protection of the machine for the
time of transport. The manufacturer is also responsible for loading of the
machine for the needs of transport to the customer. However, the carrier is
responsible for the machine for the time of transport.
The plough POM is delivered assembled to the customer. Some subassemblies can be set in a transport position or disassembled. In this case
the sub-assemblies are installed by the authorised AGRO-MASZ or trading
partner’s employee at the customer’s site.
Conditions for unloading machine safely:
1. Depending on structure of a transport trailer, the plough POM can be
driven down once it's aggregated with a tractor or can be lifted by
means of a hoisting device (crane, fork-lift truck, etc.)
2. Loading and unloading of the machine and its assemblies should be
performed with a crane by personnel holding adequate qualifications.
3. The machine can be hoisted only by marked points (fixation points are
marked with decals) considering proper distribution of load and
stability of the lifted machine.
4. Check whether the hoisting device has adequate capacity and there
is no risk of the machine's falling.
5. Use only certified ropes, chains or belts of relevant strength.
6. Do not mount the machine directly onto the crane's hook and rather use ropes, chains or belts.
7. When lifting the machine, keep ropes, chains or belts tensioned, so as to prevent it from swinging which may cause an accident.
8. When lifting the machine with a crane, always pay attention to hoist trajectory and remove any obstacles.
9. The whole area, where any machine's manoeuvring is to take place
and vehicle's setting location should be previously checked for any
possible "danger areas" and particularly for conductors, gas pipelines
or liquid hoses. If such “danger areas” are present, choose other
areas for manoeuvring.
10. All employees should keep proper safety distance, so in case of an
accidental falling of the machine, no person is injured.
Page 42
42
TRANSPORT
8.2. Transport – driving on public roads
Take care as the machine can swing beyond the outline of the
tractor at the corners!
Before transport, fix supports of the tractor's lower links to limit the sideways
movements of the machine!
For transport on public roads the machine is driven being lifted on the
tractor's three-point linkage.
For driving on public roads, according to valid regulations, the machine
should be equipped with lighting and warning plates.
After leaving the field, and before driving onto roads, clean the machine of
the soil.
8.2.1. Speed
Always keep in mind that the tractor's rear axle is significantly
loaded and its front section must be additionally loaded to keep proper
manoeuvrability of the assembly.
REMEMBER! Before work in the field, remember to remove lighting and
warning plates to prevent their damage.
Always adjust the speed to the road conditions and observe road traffic
regulations. The maximum permissible speed during transport of the plough
equipped with a universal support wheel on the roads in all conditions is 25
km/h.

MAINTENANCE
IX. MAINTENANCE
The machine can be repaired and serviced only by personnel with
proper knowledge and being familiar with the possible risk and instruction
manual!
To keep the plough in the best technical condition and its optimum service
lifetime, maintain its elements in accordance with the below-mentioned
schedule.
Apart from elements subject to regular lubrication, to keep the machine's
functionality, it is necessary to inspect:
• tightening of bolts and nuts connecting elements of the plough,
• technical condition of hydraulic hoses which, if apparent mechanical
damages or rubber porosity is found, should be replaced,
ATTENTION! It is forbidden to work under the raised plough
without its additional protection!
9.1. Lubrication
Proper care of the lubricated elements of the plough will prevent the
penetration of dirt or water into places between movable parts of the
machine, and as a consequence, will protect against its premature wear.
Lubricate until grease gets out from the lubrication point. Remove the excess
with a cloth to prevent accumulation of dirt on the grease.
REMEMBER! Make sure that before the first use the rotation bearing is
greased abundantly (approx. 3L).

parts or their breakdown!
9.2. Bolt tightening
The machine is provided with bolts with hardness grade of 8.8, 10.9 and
12.9. The below table is intended to indicate the torque measured in Nm that
should be applied to bolts of particular sizes and hardness grades for
different sub-assemblies of the machine in order to ensure its proper
operation and protect against part loosening and breakdown. The table
includes most types of the bolts used in the machine.
REMEMBER! Suggested values provided in the table are given for reference
only.
Bolts and nuts can be oiled so as to provide their easier tightening (applying
less torque).

Tighten all bolts and nuts after the first day of operation!
Tighten all bolts and nuts after the end of the working season!
ATTENTION! It is forbidden to use bolts with the parameters other
than applied by the manufacturer!
9.3. Instructions for proper operation
Even if settings of each particular element of the plough are correct, this will
not ensure a high quality of ploughing unless the whole machine is checked
for vertical and horizontal setting.
Page 47
47
Correct vertical setting of the plough.
Page 48
48
OPERATION
Incorrect vertical settings of the plough.
As far as the quality of work is concerned, it is important to have the depth
correctly set. Maximum working depth should not be greater than 2/3 of the
furrow width, which in normal soil conditions will allow to produce furrows
which are properly turned over and balanced.
Page 49
49
Correct horizontal setting of the plough.
Incorrect horizontal setting of the machine.
Page 50
50
OPERATION
Ploughing quality is significantly influenced by an apparently obvious matter
of turning on headlands. It is recommended to take turns using either of two
methods:
•Turn by 360o – when approaching the edge of the field, start the
plough lifting function at the same time turning maximally to the
ploughed part of the field, and shortly after that smoothly turn the
steering wheel maximally to the opposite direction, and then
approach the unploughed part again, turn and lower the plough.
•Three-point turn – lift the plough on headland, turning accordingly
towards the ploughed field, drive the tractor back to the unploughed
part and turn smoothly to get near and lower the plough.
Adjust working speed according to soil conditions, stony fields in particular,
cultivation of which, with too high working speed, may result in a major
damage to the machine.
Always try to drive as straight as possible. Careless driving (uneven
furrows), apart from deterioration in quality of ploughing, as consequence will
result in sudden load of the tractor and progressive increase in fuel
consumption.
It is not possible to carry out ploughing using only right or left bodies. Always
use left and right bodies alternatively. Bodies at both sides should wear
evenly, which in turn will produce a uniform furrow at both sides.
Always mark headlands (across the field, in particular), while using the last
plough body which will facilitate loosening of the tractor's upper link. A
headland should be of an adequate width, including length of the tractorplough assembly.
Page 51
51
MAINTENANCE
9.4. Detachment of plough
The plough always should be parked on a firm and level ground.
To safely detach the plough from the tractor:
•turn the plough to working position and lower it so it is supported with right
bodies on the ground,
• turn the tractor's engine off and remove the ignition key,
• set lever for hydraulic connector control valve in neutral position (to remove
pressure from the hoses) and disconnect the plough's hydraulic hoses,
• detach the upper link of the three-point linkage from the plough's hanger,
• unlock and lower support foot(1) of the plough,
• remove lower links from the plough's latch bar.
Page 52
52
MAINTENANCE
9.5. Storage
The machine should be cleaned on regular basis, taking particular care after
the end of the working season for a storing period between the working
seasons, which will affect its service lifetime. The plough can be cleaned by
means of compressed air or a pressure washer. However, the water jet
should not be directly pointed to the lubrication places and bearings.
The elements of the machine indicated in the lubrication table also should be
lubricated before every working season, after its end, as well as after every
washing of the machine (in particular after the use of pressure washer).
The preserved machine should be parked and stored on a firm and level
ground, with unfolded and secured support foot (the plough should not be
supported on the wheel), shielded from direct impact of weather conditions
(sun, rain, snow) which will protect metal elements without paint against rust,
and rubber elements against damage.
ATTENTION! Make sure children and animals have no access to
the machine.
Additionally, surfaces which lose paint coating due to work in contact with
soil, should be preserved with oil.
9.6. Replacement of parts
Parts, technical condition of which shows wear, should be replaced
immediately, so as to prevent other sub-assemblies against wear, which in
turn could cause deterioration in quality of work performed by the machine.
To maintain functions of the plough, it is essential to use original spare parts
only.
Before replacement of any parts, the plough should be set in transport
position and protected against falling down by means of an adequately
strong and stable support (e.g. a thick metal support or a wooden beam). It
is also necessary to turn off the tractor engine, engage the parking brake
and protect the tractor wheels with additional supports. It is recommended to
clean the area of the machine, maintenance of which is to be performed.
Only after it is certain that the plough is stable, replacement of worn or
damaged parts can be performed.
Elements of the plough, working in a direct contact with the soil, i.e.
ploughshares, ploughshare chisels, mouldboards, and other parts of plough
bodies and shear bolts, are exposed to the fastest wear.
Chisels (ploughshare blades) are elements the construction of which
enables reversing them, if one end is worn significantly.

MAINTENANCE
Ploughshares should be replaced in good time before section where the
chisel is bolted is affected by wear. However a ploughshare can be
recovered, if its wear allows for this.
Mouldboards should be replaced together with supports, if there is a
deterioration in dumping of a produced furrow, or eventually, if the element
starts to get deformed.
It is forbidden to perform maintenance works of the plough without
providing an additional protection against falling down, shifting or releasing
of its parts!
Use protective clothing (gloves, goggles, etc.) in order to protect against
sharp parts of the machine. Working elements in contact with the soil can be
particularly sharp. Their improper operation can result in personal injury!
Protect skin against direct contact with greases and oils!
Prevent penetration of lubricants and oils into the soil!
Use only tools in proper technical condition!
9.7. Defects and their elimination
The below table presents the possible defects during operation and most
often incorrect arrangements of the machine, causing unintended faster
wear of the plough and the tractor.

MALFUNCTION
POSSIBLE CAUSE
REPAIR ACTION
Tractor front section is
lifted
Improper additional
loading of tractor front
section in relation to
plough's weight
Mount more front axis
weights on tractor
Fill front tyres with
liquid (if provided by
the tractor
manufacturer)
Plough does not
penetrate into soil
Upper link on tractor's
three-point linkage is
too loose
Tighten upper link to
shorten
Link is mounted to
high on plough's turret
Re-attach upper link
on plough's lower
attachment hole
Plough “jumps”
causing uneven
passage
Plough's weight is
distributed in excess
on support wheel
Adjust support wheel
setting to distribute
part of plough's weight
onto tractor
Plough body protecting
bolt (peg) is sheared
too often
Use of bolt with
inadequate diameter
or hardness
Mount original bolts
with adequate
hardness
Uneven ploughing on
the right and on the left
Improper vertical
setting of the plough
Adjust setting screws
(see “Adjustment of
vertical tilt”)
Different settings of
approach angle for
right and left
mouldboards
Adjust mouldboards
position
Uneven pressure in
tractor's rear tyres
Adjust pressure
according to the tractor
manufacturer's
instructions
Furrows are not turned
over completely
Set furrow width is too
narrow related to
ploughing depth
Increase furrow width
(refer to “Plough
bodies – Fig. Change
of furrow width”)
Furrows are uneven
on the same passage
Mouldboards are not
set parallel
Adjust mouldboards to
be parallel
Skim coulters are set
for various depths
(plough optional
version)
Adjust skim coulters
higher / lower, all at
equal height
Improperly adjusted

MAINTENANCE
9.8. Environmental protection
When the machine is significantly worn, as a result of the expiry of its service
lifetime, it should be utilised by a specialist company, in accordance with the
applicable environmental protection regulations.
Worn and damaged parts of the machine, replaced with the new ones,
should be dealt in a special way, as well. Such parts should be stored on the
farm in a specially isolated place, protected against access of people and
animals, and periodically delivered to the collection points (metal scrap
points).
Plastic parts (hydraulic hoses, tyres) should be delivered to separate
collection points for recycling purposes.
9.9. Noise and vibrations
The machine does not pose a health risk to the operator, because the noise
level / level of emitted acoustic pressure at the workplace, corrected by the
characteristics A, does not exceed 70dB (A).
There is no vibration hazard while using the plough, either.
The operator's workplace is the tractor's cabin, appropriately and
ergonomically shaped and cushioned.
