c) CULTITILLER rotor with Fast-Fit blades
The
CULTITILLER
rotor is equipped with angled left
and right blades, solidly housed in individual supports
welded on the rotor tube (photos 58 and 58A).
Start fitting blades on the support nearest the side
gearbox. A left blade should be fitted first (cutting
edge facing the left in the forward direction [A]) (photo
58). Then fit a right blade on the support opposite the
left blade. Fit all blades like this, alternately left and
right The last blades fitted should be the one nearest
the right end shield.
The cutting edges of all blades should face the direc-
tion of rotor rotation (F) (in forward direction [A])
(photo 58).
To facilitate the removal of the lynch pins (M), use the
special key (N) supplied with the machine (photo
58A).
End blades
: The left end flange is fitted with 2 angled
blades and 2 left guard caps (B) (photo 58). The right
end flange is fitted with 2 right angled blades and 2
right guard caps. The blades must be fitted on the
flange inner side and the guard caps on the outer side
using 2 screws (M 16)
(torque : 30 daNm/220 ft.lbs.).
When replacing blades, also change
guard caps (B) located on both rotor
end flanges (photo 58).

d) CULTIPLOW rotor with 2 bolts per blade
(photo 59)
This
CULTIPLOW
rotor is fitted with right and left
angled blades bolted onto flanges welded on the rotor
tube. To distinguish the left blades from the right
blades, note the cutting edge of the blade which is
facing towards the left in the rotor rotating direction
(F) (seen in the direction of travel (A) of the machine).
Each rotor flange is equipped with two left angled
blades and two right angled blades. On the end
flanges, 4 angled blades are mounted on the inner
sides.
On intermediate flanges the 2 right angled blades are
mounted on the right side and the 2 left angled blades
are mounted on the left side.
Fit all blades like this so that left and right blades are
fitted helicoidally.
The mounting bolts heads must be on the blade side,
the washers and bolts on the flange side.
Tighten the nuts to a torque of 40 daNm / 295 ft.lbs
on all
CULTIPLOW
blades.
