2. CULTIPLOW ROTOR
On EL 100N equipped with
cultiplow rotor, blades (L)
must be fitted alternatively
to the left and right-hand
side of the flanges.
- All bolts go on the blade side and the nuts and lock washers on the flange side.
3. CULTITILLER ROTOR
The cultitiller rotor is equipped with
angled blades bolted onto supports
individually welded on the rotor central
tubing. When fitting blades, start on
the left hand side support (i.e. gearbox
side) by facing the blade cutting edge
towards the left-hand side of the
machine (viewed in the forward direction
F).
Next fit the diametrically opposite
blade by facing the cutting edge towards
the right-hand side of the machine. Keep
fitting left-hand and right-hand blades
alternatively, moving towards the right-
hand side support, ensuring that all
cutting edges always follow the direc-
tion of rotation (f).
CAREFULLY TIGHTEN UP ALL BOLTS : - 16 daNm (118 ft/lbs) for the standard rotor with
angled blades
- 22 daNm (162 ft/lbs) for the cultiplow rotor and
for the cultitiller rotor.
When the blades or spades are worn, change the complete set to avoid throwing the
rotor out of balance.
Diagram : clod sizes
This diagram shows theoretically achieved clod sizes with variable parameters such
as number of pair of blades fitted, forward speed and selected rotor speed (rotational
frequency).
