Page 27: Machine Adjustment
MACHINE ADJUSTMENT 10 MACHINE ADJUSTMENT • Disc plough-harrow is attached to the three-point suspension in the usual way. The lower arms of the hydraulic system must be at the same height from the ground. The working depth of the discs is specified in the technical parameters – chapter 1.1.. The working depth range could be reduced due to wear on the discs. -
Page 28: Adjusting The Working Depth Of The Machine
MACHINE ADJUSTMENT 10.1 Adjusting the working depth of the machine • The working depth is set by changing the position of the rollers against the frame of the machine. This change is executed either mechanically using drawbars or hydraulically using piston-rods according to the version of the machine. - Page 29 MACHINE ADJUSTMENT Setting the working depth using piston-rods • The working depth of the machine is set using various combinations of the spacer rings on the piston-bars of the rollers. • The individual combinations for the required working depth of the machine are specified in Tab.
-
Page 30: Adjusting The Longitudinal Plane Of The Machine
MACHINE ADJUSTMENT Retract the piston-rods of the rollers into the maximum top position (piston-rods are drawn in) so that the spacer rings placed on the piston-rods are compressed tightly. Place the machine in the tractor suspension on the ground. Set the longitudinal plane of the machine by adjusting the position of the bottom arms of the tractor and the drawbar of the third point of the tractor, thus ensuring the same working depth for both disc rows. -
