Specifications
The ARES L series includes models with working widths from 2.5 to 6.0 meters. They can be mounted or semi-mounted, with a maximum working depth of 13 cm. The number of coulter discs varies by model, with diameters of 485/510 mm and an inter-disc pitch of 25 cm. The working speed is 10-15 km/h, and the effective capacity ranges from 2.5 to 9.0 hectares per hour. Power demand varies from 54 kW to 132 kW, depending on the model.

Operating Manual
First Start: Ensure all parts are in good condition, check screw and bolt tightness, verify hydraulic system connections, lubricate necessary components, and ensure compatibility with the tractor attachment system.
Preparation: Ensure equal tire pressure on the tractor, adjust lifting rods for proper working depth, and secure the machine's hitch axle.
Connection and Disconnection: For mounted machines, connect the suspension axle to the tractor's lower link and secure it. For semi-mounted machines, connect the suspension axle and secure the safety chain.

Transport
During transport, fold external discs and secure them with pins. Ensure the machine meets road safety requirements and adjust tensioning chains to limit oscillations.

Adjustments
Working Depth: Adjust using pins, turnbuckles, or hydraulic systems, depending on the model and configuration.
Levelling Fingers: Adjust vertically or horizontally by repositioning pins.
Front Skid: Use hydraulic pressure to adjust depth, ensuring not to retract while buried.
External Disc: Adjust by removing bolts and repositioning the disc.
Folding Hydraulic System: Adjust after folding sections to ensure vertical alignment.
Deflectors: Adjust height and width by repositioning pins or screws.
Brakes: Adjust the pneumatic cylinder and replace brake shoe kits if necessary.
Seeder Support: Adjust in three directions for optimal positioning.
Support Wheel: Adjust using a turnbuckle to raise or lower the wheel.

Maintenance
Regularly check the tightness of the pneumatic system and dewater it before winter by unscrewing the plug at the air tank's lower part.

Operation
Before starting field work, remove warning plates used for highway transport, unfold foldable units to the working position, and switch the hydraulic system to the appropriate mode. The maximum lifting capacity for the ARES L is 1,400 kg and for the ARES L DRIVE is 2,000 kg. Ensure the cultivator is level and clean it if clogged with plant debris.

Servicing and Maintenance

General: Use genuine spare parts to maintain warranty conditions.
Replacement of Components: Replace worn parts timely to protect other assemblies. Contact the manufacturer for hydraulic system and springing component replacements.
Tightening Torques: A table provides specific torque values for bolts, screws, and nuts based on size and strength class.
Lubrication: Use mineral oils and lubricate at specified points. A table lists lubrication points and intervals.
Storage: Clean and inspect the machine after use, replace worn parts, and store on hardened surfaces. For winter storage, disassemble the hydraulic cylinder and store it in a dry, ventilated area.
Disassembly and Disposal: Specialized companies should perform disassembly for scrapping.
Warranty Conditions: Warranty is valid under proper operation and maintenance using genuine parts. Unauthorized modifications void the warranty.
