Installation 3. Installation Danger! Severe injury to the operator or third parties occurs. Switch off the tractor and remove the ignition key. 3.1. Preparatory measures The prerequisite for using the SRM-FB 120 CD snow blade is that the tractor must already be equipped with the matev (131 5974 or 131 7014) attachment bracket in conjunction with the (131 7015) lift-out linkage. Attachment bracket Lift-out linkage Fig. 1 Attachment bracket with lift-out linkage 3.2. Attaching the snow blade 3.2.1. Fix the snow blade in place on the attachment bracket 1. Guide the connection tube of the snow blade into the connection tube of the attachment bracket until the stop and secure the connection with the spring linch pin. Connection tube Intermediate bracket Spring linch pin Fig. 2 Connection tube - attachment bracket 2. Ensure that the spring linch pin is mounted correctly. Page 6
3.2.2. Attaching the mechanical angle adjustment Installation 1. The Mechanical angle adjustment can only be attached if an intermediate bracket (see Fig. 3) is already present or is also mounted.

Installation 2. Preparations on the snow blade: Danger of injury due to moving parts. Remove the ignition key before performing maintenance tasks on the implement. Drive the tractor into the workshop, switch off the motor and remove the ignition key. Remove the snow blade from the tractor. If the intermediate bracket is not like (Fig. 3): Dismount the springs of the drive-over safeguard Dismount the snow blade intermediate bracket (must be replaced with the intermediate bracket, see Fig. 3). Drill 2 fastening bores ø 8.5mm (Fig. 5) in the blade plate. 235 40 15 Fig. 5 Bores (2x ø 8.5 mm) in the blade plate 3. Preparations on the tractor: In the right running board (Fig. 4) drill 2 fastening bores ø 8.5 mm. 2x ø 8.5 85 40 Fig. 6 Bores (2x ø 8.5 mm) in the running board Page 8
Installation 4. After preparing snow blade and tractor mount the attachment kit for the mechanical angle adjustment as shown in Fig. 7-10.

Lift function The snow blade can be lifted mechanically (foot activation) or hydraulically depending on the tractor type. Lift-out linkage Fig 11 Lift Page 10
Installation 3.4. Swing function The snow blade has a manual (peg bolt) or mechanical angle adjustment element. The snow blade must be swung in lifted status (mechanical or hydraulic). 3.4.1. Swing via manual adjustment For the manual angle adjustment you must pull off the peg bolt and reinsert it in the desired angle position of the snow blade. Peg bolt Fig. 12 Peg bolt 3.4.2. Swing via mechanical angle adjustment Use the mechanical angle adjustment to conveniently swing the snow blade from the driver's seat. To do this the attached hand lever of the operating rod must be pressed and the operating rod must be pushed at the same time (swing in direction of travel left) or pulled (swing in direction of travel right). Operating rod Hand lever Fig. 13 Hand lever of the operating rod Page 11
Installation Fig. 14 Swing function 3.5. Adjustments on the snow blade: Before starting to clear snow, the slide runners must be correctly adjusted. To do this the snow blade is lowered onto a level surface. The snow blade is correctly adjusted when the steel skids rest on the ground and the scraper bars just barely touch the ground or clear the ground by 1-2 mm. If this is not the case the snow blade must first be adjusted. To do this proceed as follows: 1. Lower the snow blade until it is just a little above the ground, and place it on an intermediate layer that is 1-2 mm thick. 2. Disable the hydraulic system and switch off the tractor. 3. Unscrew the clamp screws of the steel skids. 4. Lower the steel skids to the ground. 5. Tighten the clamp screws and secure them with the lock nuts. 1-2 mm Fig. 15: Adjust the steel skids Page 12
Installation Clamp screw Steel skid Fig. 16 Steel skid 3.6. Trial run The tractor and the environment can be damaged. Only use the supplied material. Danger of crushing due to moving parts. Never reach into the crushing hazard danger zone if parts are moving or can move. 1. Connect the snow blade on the attachment bracket. 2. Start the tractor and move the connected implement up and down. Swing the implement to the left and to the right. Ensure that all threaded unions are firmly connected and that there is no danger of collision with adjacent components. Page 13
Operation 4. Operation Before starting up the implement read the instructions on safety and handling for operation of the entire implement and of the tractor. 4.1. Working with the snow blade When mounted correctly as described in section 3.2, the snow blade is operated by lowering the attachment bracket (mechanically or hydraulically) until the snow blade touches the substrate and with forward movement of the tractor. 4.2. Adjusting the lift height The lift height can be adjusted via the fastening bores in the lift shackle of the lift shaft an the attachment block. Lift shackle of the lift shaft Fig. 17 Adjust the lift height 4.3. Contact pressure The contact pressure on the substrate occurs only through the deadweight of the snow blade. 4.4. Replacing the rubber bar The rubber bar edge guard must be turned or replaced before the metal of the snow blade grinds on the substrate. Page 14
Maintenance 5. Maintenance 5.1. Service Danger! Only perform service and maintenance tasks when the tractor is switched off. Remove the ignition key before performing maintenance tasks on the implement. Danger of crushing due to moving parts. Never reach into the crushing hazard danger zone if parts are moving or can move. If there is pressure loss there is danger of crushing and shear injuries in the lift mechanism. Properly re-attach all protective devices that have been dismounted after executing the service tasks. & Note! After the first 20 hours of operation check all screw and bolt connections. Subject the implement to regular service. Use lubricating grease to lubricate the moving parts. 5.1.1. Service schedule (overview) Time interval After the first 20 operating hours Activity Check all screw and bolt connections. Tighten any loose screws, and secure any loose bolt connections with spring cotter pins. Daily or before each use Check the safety elements and moving parts for wear. Replace worn or defective parts. Execute a trial run. Page 15
Repair 5.1.2. Lubricating schedule Danger! Only perform service and maintenance tasks when the tractor is switched off. Danger! The operator and other persons can be severely injured. Only perform service and maintenance tasks with lifted implement if the implement has been safeguarded against falling unintentionally, e.g. via support wedges. If there is pressure loss there is danger of crushing and shear injuries in the lift mechanism. 6. Repair To lubricate the implement as specified in the maintenance schedule, proceed as follows: 1. Lubricate the connection tube on inside of the attachment block. 2. Lubricate the wedge-groove shaft on the inside of the connection tube on the attachment block. Lubricate the linch pin on the connection tube. 3. If the mechanical angle adjustment element 131 7084 is mounted on your tractor, lubricate the holder for the the forked bolt (see lubricating nipple).
