with the surface, lock this position with the stop (close to the tractor hydraulics) as the lowest one. The M30 supporting screw should then be locked with a locknut.

8.2 SETTING THE "V" HEIGHT OF THE FRONT DRAG (SEE FIG. 9/PAGE 14)

The front drag is to be set by driving out PIN 20 and shifting the welded lever. The front drag height depends on the size of clods. The drag should be set in such a manner that it is approx. 3 to 5 cm from the lower level of the front bar roller after lowering the cultivator on the ground. The drag spring can be tightened within the M20 adjusting screw. The prestressing of the spring should be selected according to the size of clods in the field. The bigger the clods, the higher the prestressing.

8.3 SETTING THE "Y" DEPTH OF THE DUCKFOOT-SHARE SECTION (SEE FIG. 9/PAGE 14)

The working depth of the duckfoot-share section is to be set with a trapezoid-threaded handle. The handle is placed on the supporting frame. To set the depth turn the handle. For an even setting of the depth along the entire machine, a depth setting indicator is located on the handle, see Fig. 10. The soil processing depth is selected according to the crop type that you want to cultivate, see Tab. 5.

Fig. 10 - Depth Setting Indicator Tab. 5 – Recommended cultivation depths depending on individual crop-plants

8.4 SETTING THE "Z" HEIGHT OF THE CENTRAL LEVELLING BAR (SEE FIG. 9/PAGE 14)

The height of the central levelling bar is to be adjusted using the chain between the sliding and supporting frames depending on the working depth of the duckfoot shares. The height should be within the range from 60 to 100 mm (measured from the bottom level of the bar rollers).

9. EXCHANGING THE WORKING PARTS

9.1 When exchanging the working parts, follow the directions given in Chapter L/Page 8. Strictly adhere

the prescribed procedure.

9.2 The machine design enables operator to replace the duckfoot shares with a drag by chisel-shaped shares and

vice versa. To replace them, drive out the pull-rod pins, remove the original duckfoot shares and fix the new sections (See Fig. 11).

Fig. 11 - The pins necessary for exchanging the share sections

9.3 The machine design enables operators to replace the rear bar rollers with drags by the Crosskill rollers and vice

versa. To replace the rollers, dismount the bearings from the supporting frames of the machine, pull them down from the shafts of the original roller and put them on the new roller. The new roller provided with the bearings must then be mounted in the supporting frames.

9.4 All and any replacements of the working tools should be made in a service shop and all the labour-protection

rules mentioned in Chapters C (Page 5), K (Page 7 to 8) and L (Page 8) should be strictly observed.

 When making any repairs, strictly observe the labour-protection rules mentioned in Chapters A through N /

Pages 4 through 10.

 After the first 20 hours of operation, check all the mechanical parts connected with bolts.  Lubricate the machine in the lubrication points according to the lubrication chart.  Check the wear and tear of the working tools from time to time. If worn and torn excessively, replace them by

new ones.

 Setting, cleaning and lubricating operations may only be carried out at rest. The tractor engine must be turned off

and secured against starting.

 If the work is to be done on the lifted machine, suitable supports placed in marked points or other suitable points

must be used.

 When setting, maintaining or repairing the machine, secure reliably those parts of the machine that could cause

accidents by falling or moving.

 If hoisted with a suspension lifting mechanism (a crane), hang the machine in the marked points only. These

points are marked with the "chain" stickers (See fig.12, 13).

 When a defect or damage appears, turn off the tractor engine immediately, secure it against undesired start up

and motion. Only then can you start to repair it.

 Use solely the original spare parts for repairs. Use the appropriate tools and protectives.  If you are about to arc-weld and if the machine is coupled with the tractor, disconnect the alternator and

accumulator feeding cables.

 Check tire pressure and tire condition regularly. Tire repairs and replacements should be made in a specialized

workshop.

 Keep the machine clean.

12. AGGREGATION WITH AN ATTACHMENT

 An attachment is understood e.g. an air-operated sower, the NOCKEN or CROSSKILL crumbling rollers.  For aggregating the machine with an air-operated sower, the Cultivator can be provided with a SOWER DRIVE.  Only such attachments that allow continuos terrain copying may be aggregated with the machine.  Among those attachments that should not be aggregated with the machine ranks for example a sower without

travelling wheels.

TRANSPORT POSITION

 When transporting an attachment on the machine's rear three point suspension, position of the lower arms must

be locked with the upper and lower pins to prevent lateral swing of the attachment (See Fig. 18).

WORKING POSITION

 When working with an attachment, the lower arms of the machine must be freely movable in the lower three-

point suspension flanges, i.e. the transport position of the respective pins must be changed into the working position. If necessary, the pins may be removed completely (See Fig. 19). Thus, the attachment will be copying the terrain perfectly. At the same time, the cultivator's rear roller will not be overloaded in the working position.

 If this setting is not made, the structure of the machine and the machine's rear roller will be damaged. Such

damage is not the manufacturer's responsibility.

 When working with the TRACTOR - CULTIVATOR - ATTACHMENT set, observe all the labour safety

rules as well as the road-transport safety rules.
