SIDE FRAME FOLDING DRAWBARS
The folding mechanism of side frames connected to the
central frame uses drawbars with integrated compression
springs, thanks to which it is possible to achieve the
partial transfer of the weight of the central frame onto the
side frames, thus achieving even soil cultivation, when the
central frame does not work deeper than the side frames.
As soil conditions may differ, it is possible to change the
spring preloading on the drawbars, or the entire length of
the bar. The length of the bar needs to be considered
when the machine is delivered disassembled and the
length of the rod may change during shipping when
compared with the factory settings.
8.1
ADJUSTING THE FOLDING DRAWBAR SPRING -LP
Always adjust the length of the spring when the machine is in
standstill and unfolded in the working position.
When adjusting, always observe generally valid labour safety
regulations.
When to change the spring preloading? When the folding
piston-rods are completely drawn in during field work and the
side frames are lifted and create a “V” shape. That means that
the drawbar spring is not preloaded enough and it has to be
preloaded more = shorten.
The springs are factory-set to the L
p
spring length
.
The spring preloading can be changed according to
the current needs.
