  • Page 5 RD 300-400S/C Radar The radar angle must be adjusted. The angle must be 35° ± 1° in relation to the soil surface. The angle of the radar is optimal when the surface (A) is parallel to the soil surface. Loosen the screws and adjust the bracket along the oblong hole (B).
  • Page 6 RD 300-400S/C Following harrow There are two different following harrows on Rapid RD – hydraulically controlled and mechanical. Mechanical following harrow The work pressure is set using the socket supplied. - Lower the machine, then lift it to low-lift. - Remove the R cotter pin (B) holding the adjusting screw (A) in position. - In this position, the following harrow must be pressed lightly against the ground, with greater pressure on heavy soils and more gently on light soils or where there is a lot of hay.
