  • Page 19: Overview Of The Optional Stone Protection Assembly

    INTRODUCTION OVERVIEW OF THE OPTIONAL STONE PROTECTION ASSEMBLY The optional stone protection assembly is designed to prevent damage to the steering discs and disc legs. The assembly consists of one bracket and cylinder for each leg and a hydraulic accumulator. If a disc contacts a rock, the optional stone protection assembly allows the disc and leg to adjust depth independently from the implement and ride over the rock.

    INSTALLING THE DISC SYSTEM DISC LEG CONFIGURATIONS The following configurations are available for disc steering systems: • Single Disc Steering Set • Dual Disc with Mechanical Track Rod • Dual Disc with Hydraulic Track Rod NOTE: When a dual disc is used, a single hydraulic cylinder with a mechanical track rod is the preferred configuration.
  • Page 24 On seeders and inter-row cultivators it is sometimes possible to construct a universal frame that can be transferred from one implement to another. Ensure that the hydraulics, IDU and SC1 are mounted on the universal frame. DUAL DISC WITH HYDRAULIC TRACK ROD When installing a system with a hydraulic track rod (dual cylinders), one cylinder should be non-adjustable and the other should be adjustable.
