DANGER WARNING POTENTIAL HAZARD • There may be buried power, gas, and/or telephone lines in the area being plowed. POTENTIAL HAZARD • When the plow is out of the ground, bystanders could be injured by the swinging plow. • The traction unit could be overturned by the inertia of the swinging plow. WHAT CAN HAPPEN • Shock or explosion may occur. WHAT CAN HAPPEN • You or bystanders could be crushed by the traction unit or plow.
Specifications WARNING Note: Specifications and design are subject to change without notice. Width 29 inches (73.6 cm) Length 35 inches (89 cm) Height 24 inches (60 cm) Weight (without blade) 400 lbs (181.5 Kg) Hydraulic motor displacement 1.27 in3/rev (20.8 cc) Plow cycles 1,528 VPM POTENTIAL HAZARD • Exceeding the maximum recommended slope can cause the traction unit to tip. WHAT CAN HAPPEN • If the traction unit tips, you or bystanders could be crushed.
Installation Loose Parts DESCRIPTION QTY. Vibratory plow 1 Blade 1 Coulter 1 USE Assemble the plow Installing the Plow on the Traction Unit 1 Refer to your traction unit operator’s manual for complete instructions on installing attachments onto the traction unit and connecting hydraulic hoses. m–4154 Figure 3 1. Coulter pin screw Assembling the Plow 2. Completely remove the coulter pin screw, washer, and coulter pin (Fig. 4). Installing the Blade 3.
Operation 2. Remove the lower click pin and clevis pin securing the blade to the plow (to completely remove the blade, remove both the upper and lower click and clevis pins) (Fig. 2). Note: Always use the traction unit to lift and move the attachment. 3. Swing the blade up and secure it as illustrated in Figure 5. Plowing 1. Move the lynch pins to the outside holes on the spring rods to allow the plow to move from side to side (Fig. 6).
WARNING CAUTION POTENTIAL HAZARD • The threads on the bullet are sharp. • If you are using a basket grip, the wires could be frayed. POTENTIAL HAZARD • When plowing on a hill, the plow can swing down hill when raised out of the soil. WHAT CAN HAPPEN • Due to the weight of the plow, if it swings too fast, the force could tip the traction unit injuring you or others. WHAT CAN HAPPEN • The threads could cut you or others. • The wires on a basket grip can cause puncture wounds.
Gaging Plow Depth When plowing bare ground, maximum depth is indicated on the gage as the zero mark. You can plow down to the +1 mark, but in this case you will be contacting the ground with the coulter axle. Plowing any lower may damage the coulter. Normally, you will be plowing at the maximum depth set by the blade; however, the plow is also equipped with a gage to allow you to lift the plow and determine how high above maximum depth you are plowing.
• Avoid sharp turns when plowing to increase productivity and minimize ground disturbance. tires to the left and the left side tires to the right. This will ensure that the tire tread points to the rear to give you the most traction when using the vibratory plow.
Lubrication Service Interval/Specification Check the gear lubrication oil level in the gear case every 25 operating hours and change it every 200 operating hours or once a year, whichever occurs first. Gear lube type: SAE 90–140 API service GL–4 or GL–5 Refill capacity: 3 pints. m–4148 Figure 12 Checking Gear Lube 1. Position the traction unit and plow on a level surface and lower the attachment lift so that the plow is on the ground. 2. Stop the engine and remove the key. 3.
5. When finished, replace the drain plug, ensuring that it is tight. 3. Check gear case lubrication. 4. Check and tighten all bolts, nuts, and screws. Repair or replace any part that is damaged or worn. 6. Remove the fill plug (Fig. 15) and fill the case with gear lube until it is level with the red dot in the gage. 7. Replace the fill plug. 5. Ensure that all hydraulic couplers are connected together to prevent contamination of the hydraulic system. Storage 6.
