TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS. Model 7117 Working width 1.70 mtr (68”) Working depth Up to 150 mm (6”) Tractor speed @ 500 rev’s at PTO Hole spacing 55 mm (2-1/8”) Up to 2.0 km/h (1.25 mph) Hole spacing 90 mm( 3 ½”) Up to 3.2 km/h (2.0 mph)
2.0 FIRST SETUP, LIFTING MACHINE FROM PALLET The machine stands vertically up on the pallet. To remove the pallet and get the machine horizontal on the ground, handle as follows (see fig.1 ): 1. Open the rear cover 2. Connect a cable to lift point * ensure the cable/crane/lift truck can lift minimum 1000 Kg.(2200 lbs).
16. When machine is taken of the pallet, remove the upper plug of the gearbox and replace it with the supplied breather. 3.0 GENERAL CONTROLS In fig.2.
4.0 PTO. The PTO is a very important item. It drives the machine from the tractor and ensures the safe operations when correctly maintained and installed. The PTO shaft has its own CE certification. Read the PTO shaft manual, which is connected to the shaft itself ...
4.2 USE OF PTO For the correct use of the PTO, the following items need to be checked: 1. During work the angle of the joints may never exceed 30 degrees 2. The joints have to be in line all the time 3.
5.0 WORKING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT. The working depth can be adjusted when the machine is lifted from the ground as follows, see fig. 4: Unscrew nuts 1 at each side of the machine one turn. Screw spindle 3 in or out. Every revolution is 4 mm (0.160").
@ From 90 to 75 degrees means more "kick action". This is advised for solid tines, depending on ground conditions, tine size and customer requirements. @ The angle of 90 degrees means that the tines penetrate perpendicular into the ground. This is only true if the machine is correctly set, see fig.1.
8.0 STARTING PROCEDURES The starting procedure is VERY important. If the start up is not done as described hereunder, serious damage to the machine may occur. Proceed as follows, see fig.7.: 1. Drive to the spot you want to start the operation. 2.
@ Never drive backwards with the tines in or close to the ground. @ NEVER drive backwards, when the lowest tines are less than 120 mm (5") above the ground. If the tines get caught, serious damage will appear on the machine. @ Do not use a hydraulic top link.
12.0 PROBLEM ANALYSIS Machine vibrates Crankshaft rotates irregular Machine not at 90 degrees PTO joint angles different PTO joints not in line Tough circumstances Adjust working depth Use thinner/ shorter tines If dry, irrigate first Solid/ hollow tines Wrong tine Change tine, use shorter one Are bending/ breaking Use solids first before hollow to...
