IMPORTANT NOTE CONCERNING THE USE OF
FRONT GAUGE WHEELS OR SIDE WHEELS (para-
graphs 2 and 3, page 21)
When the EL 131 is used with :
- front gauge wheels or
- side wheels
combined with a roller or rear wheels, the tractor top
link must be connected to the oblong hole (O) on the
machine’s 3-point frame (photo 17).
With this method of hitching the machine adapts
freely to the ground contours, independently of the
tractor.
Coupling the turn buckle to the oblong hole (O) on the machines 3 point frame is suitable
only for category 3 tractors and is strictly intended for work. It is strictly forbidden during
transportation.
4° REAR WHEEL KIT (photos 18 and 19)
Kit no. 120 6420 for EL 131 - 2.50 m
Kit no. 120 6430 for EL 131 - 3.00 m
Rear wheels can be fitted in place of the roller for certain surface operations (for example, stubble clearing or
turning over pastures).
The rear wheel kit can be fitted in various positions (lengthways) on the roller arms (P) by means of 8 hexagon
bolts (H) (M 20 x 70) and 8 self-locking nuts (M 20).
Next fit cross bar (Q) on the fixed arms (U) of the rear wheels using 2 hexagon bolts (V) (M 16 x 55), 2 hexagon
bolts (W) (M 16 x 55), 2 flat washers (X) (diameter 16 x 30 x 3) and 4 self-locking nuts (M 16). The cross bar can
be fitted either in the upper position (as shown on photos 18 and 19) or the lower position (when working with
an integrated seeder or separate seeding system). When fitting in the lower position use the 2 longer hexagon
bolts (W) (M 16 x 80) supplied.
Rear wheels (Y) should face inside the machine for transport to reduce machine width (photo 18). They should
face outside during work so as not to roll over the ground worked by the rotor (photo 19).
It may, however, be useful to work on field edges with the wheels in their transport position. In this case the wheel
scraper should be pivoted to the rear of the machine (seen in the forward direction).
To put the rear wheels into their transport position (photo 18) or work position (photo 19), pivot them inside or
out on vertical axle (F). Lock them in place using linchpin (Z), do not forget to insert washer (R) (diameter
23 x 54 x 6).
