ADJUSTING THE LENGTH OF THE DRAWBAR-L
t
The side frame folding mechanism in K500NS, K600NS includes adjustable drawbars.
The springs are factory-set to L
t
= approx. 830mm.
Always adjust the length of the drawbar when the machine is in standstill and unfolded in the working
position.
When adjusting, always observe generally valid labour safety regulations.
Recommendations when to change the length of the drawbar L
t
:
o
SHORTENING THE DRAWBAR
The piston-rod is maximally drawn out when the side frames have been folded but the side
frames are not resting on the stops of the central frame. There is a risk of damage to the
frame structure during transportation.
o
EXTENDING THE DRAWBAR
The piston-rod is not maximally drawn out when the side frames have been folded into the
transport position but the side frames are already resting on the stops of the central frame.
There is a risk of damage of the frame structure due to forces caused by the hydraulics.
Proceed as follows. Unfold the machine into the working position, ① changing the pin of the drawbar
joint to the side frame, ② lift off the drawbar from the side frame, ③ turn the nut of the drawbar.
When you change the length, proceed in the reverse way.
