Linkage Stabilisers; Round Section Screw Type Stabiliser - New Holland T7030 Operator's Manual

SECTION 3 - - FIELD OPERATIONS

LINKAGE STABILISERS

CAUTION
Never operate steerable equipment unless the
telescopic stabilisers are installed and correctly
adjusted to prevent excessive lateral movement.
ROUND SECTION SCREW TYPE
Telescopic stabilisers control the side to side
movement (sway) of the lower links and attached
equipment when in work or when being transported.
This is especially important when operating on
slopes or near fences, walls or ditches and with
certain implements. Check your implement
Operator's Manual.
Each stabiliser consists of a fabricated tube (2) with
a coupling at each end. The end with the pin (4) is
attached to the 3--point hitch. The screw thread (3)
screws into the rear end of the tube to provide
adjustment. The ball end (6) is attached to a
mounting bracket (1) bolted to the outer end of the
rear axle housing. This ball end is a loose, sliding fit
within the tube. The pin (5) may be passed through
drillings in the tube and rod, as shown, to lock the
assembly as a unit.
In practice, the locating pin (5) should be removed
from both stabilisers and the implement attached to
the 3--point hitch. To remove the pin, pull back the
160
securing clip. When the implement is satisfactorily
aligned, the tube should be rotated until the holes in
the front end of the tube and the sliding ball end are
aligned. The locating pin should then be passed
through the holes and the securing clip replaced.
With the pins inserted in this manner, both stabilisers
will be locked as a rigid unit and the implement will be
prevented from swaying both in work or in the
transport position.
