FTH-Series Rotary Tillers
20
An adjustment can be done, however, when the clutch slipping is too frequent, which means that
the calibration is too low.
In this case, the tightening of nuts over the compressed springs will give an increase in torque
transmissible.
On the contrary, a loosening of the nuts over the springs will give a decrease in torque transmissible.
IMPORTANT
For details about clutch adjustment, refer to the user manual of the Manufacturer of the driveshaft
installed.
The Manufacturer is not liable for damages resulting from a wrong modification of the clutch
calibration.
NOTE
Excessive tightening of the springs can prevent the clutch from slipping and to protect the machine
from overload.
Make sure that the height of all the compressed springs is equal to prevent clutch malfunctioning.
SKIDS ADJUSTMENT
The working depth of the tiller is determined by the position of the side skids: it may be increased
by raising the skids, and decreased by lowered them. It's important that both skids are adjusted at
the same height.
To adjust the working depth, perform the following steps:
lift the machine, put it safely on security stands, then switch the tractor engine off, disengage
PTO, set parking brake and turn off the ignition key;
loosen the bolt in the front of the skid (bolt 1 - see picture);
unscrew and remove the bolt on the rear of the skid (bolt 2 - see picture);
adjust the height of the skid through the holes, as desired;
reinstall the bolt 2 (refer to the tightening table of this manual for proper torque values);
tighten the bolt 1 (refer to the tightening table of this manual for proper torque value).
