(2) Stop bolt for the blade

The fastening bolts of the knife holder shear in

event of overload. The stop bolt can be tempo-

Risk of blockage with new installation of the arms on the knife holder.

The arms of the knife holder must be installed on the profile of the

roller frame so that they are not located in the soil flow of the levelling

unit.

Border blade (optional)

Border blades generate an improved work pat-

tern in the border and intermediate areas.
Assembly / Disassembly:
  1.  Remove the linch pin on the last blade.
  2.  Pull the last blade out to the front.
  3.  Insert the border blade into the tube.
  4.  Position the border blade with blade and

secure with the linch pin.
