Rotary Hoe
5
The skive carrier with the skive (5) is mounted to the rear side of the gearbox together with the covers by means of two pins, which are
secured with cotters. The skive is used as a spur, which sets the hoeing depth and reduces the machine's forward speed.
4 Operating Instructions
4.1 Machine Assembly
Request unpacking of the machine and training from your dealer as a part of the pre-sale service!
The gearbox features a pre-assembled hoeing device with its working width of 28 cm (the width over the covers
is 32 cm).
The assembled cover in the package can not be used for any working width. The sides must be removed from
the cover, or one of them must be moved to its correct position for the working width of 12 or 18 cm.
The machine's right and left sides are determined when viewed from the operator's location.
While assembling the hoeing device, never use only one M12x1.5 nut (it may get loose and damage the machine).
Always use another “lock nut”!
4.1.1 Machine Assembly Procedure
Assemble the machine per the following procedure: (We recommend completing the assembly by two persons)
1)
Per Fig. 1 - Remove the top cover (1) from the box, including the gearbox with its pre-assembled hoeing device (2), assembled
top cover (3), two stars (4), starting stand (5), steering wheel arm (6), skive carrier (7), skive (8), hinged covers (9 and 10), axial
pin (11), cover holder (12), steering wheel (13), and hardware bag (14).
2)
Per Fig. 3 - Steering wheel assembly. Grease the steering wheel arm pin (1) with plastic grease (e.g. LV2-3), attach the steering
wheel (2), item 21 (3), and secure it with the screw ring 15 (4).
3)
Per Fig. 4 - Skive carrier with a skive. Insert the skive (2) into the skive carrier tube (1) and secure it by a cotter (3) in its required
position.
4)
Per Fig. 5 - Cover for the working widths of 12 and 18 cm. Attach the cover holder (2) to the top (narrow) cover (1) by means of
washers 5, 2 (5-4 units) and self-locking nuts M5 (6-4 units). Next, bolt the right (3) and left (4) sides - each with 4 washers 5,2
and self-locking nuts M5 - according to the desired working width. The figure shows a cover for the working width of 12 cm. In
the case of the working width of 18 cm, the sides get mounted to the edge line of openings – A. Tighten the nuts. Attach the
hinged cover (7) to the locks on the rear side of the top cover - for easier assembly of the housing on the gearbox, the hinged
cover may only be fitted after mounting the cover and the skive carrier to the gearbox.
5)
Per Fig. 6 - Cover for the working widths of 28 and 34 cm. Assemble it in the same way as in item 4). Use the wide top (1) and
hinged (7) covers. The figure shows a cover for the working width of 28 cm. In the case of the working width of 34 cm, the sides
get mounted to the edge line of openings – A.
6)
Per Fig. 7 - Hoeing device 12 cm. Attach the narrow stars (1) to the hexagon sockets of the gearbox - the star blades have to be
facing each other, pull the short axial pin through from the right (2), attach the washer (3), and screw the M12x1.5 nuts (4-2
units). The hexagons on the head of the axial pin and on the washer must fit into the star hex holes. Tighten the nuts properly.
7)
Per Fig. 8 - Hoeing device 18 cm. Assemble it in the same way as in item 6). Use the regular stars (1).
8)
Per Fig. 9 - Hoeing device 28 cm. It is pre-assembled on the gearbox from the factory. Make sure that the hexagons of the spacers
(2), axial bolts (4) and washers (5) are securely fastened to the holes in the stars (1 and 3). Tighten the M12x1,5 nuts (6).
Complete the assembly per item 9). Use the narrow stars (3) as outer ones.
9)
Per Fig. 10 - Hoeing device 34 cm. Attach the regular stars (1) to the gearbox hexagon sockets (1) - the star blades must be
located against each other. Insert the shorter hexagon of the spacers (2) into the stars, place the regular stars (3) onto the spacers
so that the blades are rotated 45° against the inner star blades. Pull the long axial pin (4) from the right, attach the washer (5), and
screw the M12x1.5 nuts (6-2 units). The hexagons on the head of the axial pin and on the washer must fit into the star hex holes.
Tighten the nuts properly. The shorter spacer hexagon must fit into the inner star!
10)
Per Fig. 2 - Attach the corresponding cover (3) to the rear side of the gearbox (1) with its attached hoeing device (2) to the
required width - sliding from behind the "collar" on the gearbox (Fig. 17 ). Insert the skive carrier with a skive (5) through the
cover holder and secure both of them with locking pins (6) and split cotters (7) to the gearbox. Attach the steering wheel (4) to the
front side of the gearbox and secure it with two pins with their split cotters.
11)
Attach the PJGCV160 or PJGCV190 drive unit to the assembled rotary hoe and secure it with its quick-release clamps – the pin
on the gearbox must fit into the flange hole (Fig.11 ). You may slightly move the drive unit to support its attachment.
