4.1.6 CLEANING SPRING ELEMENTS
Cleaning spring elements (A, Fig. 50) are used during the
distribution of oily seeds by means of the yellow seeding roller,
mod. F25-125.
The main action of these spring elements is keeping the
chambers of the seeding roller clear so that seed distribution is
regular and constant.
The shaft of the cleaning spring elements is positioned outside
the seed dosing chamber.
When other types of seeds are being distributed, disengage the
cleaning spring elements to avoid undesired wear:
… loosen the knob (B, Fig. 50), remove the levers (C) from their
housing and move them in the direction shown by the arrow.
WEAR
When the oil layer is thick, spring elements wear out quite quickly
and they are no longer efficient.
Wear can be easily checked from the outside.
REPLACING THE SPRING ELEMENTS
1) Loosen and remove the knob (B, Fig. 50). Then, move the
lever (C) in the direction shown by the arrow.
2) Extract the seeding roller (Fig. 51) as shown and described in
paragraph 2.1.3.
3) Loosen the M8 nuts (Fig. 52) using the supplied multi-purpose
wrench.
4) Extract the shaft of the spring elements from its housing (Fig.
53).
5) Use the supplied multi-purpose wrench and an Allen wrench
(no. 3) to loosen the fastening screws of the spring elements
as shown in Figure 54.
6) Replace the spring element using genuine spare parts. Then,
assemble the unit back repeating the procedure above in a
reversed sequence.
