ADJUSTMENT OF THE REAR HOOD
The rear hood unit consists of:
- Hood (Q) the position of which can be adjusted by
cranked handles (P) (photo 17)
- Flap (R) which can be adjusted and locked by
inserting pins (B) into holes (S) (photos 18 and 19)
The desired tilth can be obtained by adjusting the
position of rear hood (Q):
- lowering the hood increases the working of the
ground (see arrow C, figure 20) giving a finer tilth
- raising the hood reduces the working of the ground
giving a coarser tilth (figure 21).
Flap (R) must always be set to ensure that it levels the ground according to the flow of soil behind the rotor (figures
20 and 21). In order to keep the machine stable it is essential that the ground is well levelled in front of the roller.
If the flap is not correctly adjusted the ground surface will be undulating which can result in the machine pitching
or rolling in work, especially when travelling fast.
