    Fig. 3 Installation of the drawbar. 4.1.2. Installation of drawbar lights To mount the beam with lights on the drawbar, position it so that the mounting holes on the beam and on the drawbar coincide (Fig. 4 – No. 1) and then tighten with M20 bolts and self-locking nuts.
  • Page 14 Fig. 5 Arm installation on the drawbar. Then you can proceed with the assembly of the rear mounting assembly. Start with the attachment to the arms (Fig. 6 – No. 1). When the assembly mounting holes and arm holes overlap, force the Ø40 pin must and secure the elements with castle nuts and pins. Next, attach the actuators to the assemblies in the places shown in Fig.

CAUTION! The correct procedure for mounting the rollers in the arm clamps requires that the screws are tightened evenly diagonally so that the entire plane of the arm brackets is flush with the plane of the roller clamp profile.

Implement opening sequence Before unfolding the folding side the extensions of the machine, learn the opening sequence to perform this operation correctly. 1. First, properly lower the chassis and raise the machine as much as possible to allow the machine to be folded properly avoiding the risk of the folding arms snagging on the ground during movement (Fig.

  • Page 22: Roller Position Adjustment

    4.3.4. Roller position adjustment The roller assembly features a system of hydraulic depth control, so the operation height is adjusted by means of cylinders. Larger extension of the actuator means greater depth of the rollers. Fig. 19 Roller position adjustment. Fig.
  • Page 23 Fig. 21 Cylinder with latches attached to the piston rod to adjust the working depth. The working depth of the implement is set using latches at the piston rod. As more latches are folded, the operation of the implement becomes shallower. In case none of the latches are installed, the implement operates at maximum working depth.

  • Page 24: Levelling Disc Position Adjustment

    Fig. 23 Latches fitted incorrectly on the cylinder piston rod. If the latches are partially omitted from the cylinder, the forces acting on the piston rod are not evenly distributed and may cause the piston rod to buckle, resulting in damage to the entire piston assembly. This type of adjustment is unacceptable! 4.3.5.
