The tines (A) must be attached underneath the tine
arms (E) so that their fingers are slanting away from
the direction of rotation (see arrow).
The tines are secured to the arms by using the screw
(B) (M12 x 75), the self-locking nut (G) (M12), the
washer (C) (diameter 13 x 35 x 5), the spring washer
(F) and the tine bracket (D).
Make sure that the parts are assembled correctly as
shown in figure 24.
11. Rotor horizontality (photo 25)
Once the tine arms and tines have been installed on
the rotors, proceed as follows to adjust rotor
horizontality :
- Lift the machine’s headstock until the main frame
is horizontal, or attach machine to a tractor and lift
the draft arms until the hitch pins are at a distance
of 600 mm / 2’ above ground level (see page 20)
- Place the machine on a flat surface with the 2 rotors
lowered on the ground. Adjust wheel height of the
left and right rotors to level them sideways.
- Check that the rotors are level in the direction of
travel. If they are not level, proceed as follows:
- Slightly loosen the 4 mounting screws (M) of the
first rotor.
- Level the rotor in direction of travel by rotating
eccentric (P) using a 36mm wrench (Q) or an
adjustable wrench. Tighten the 4 mounting screws
(M) and torque them to 14 daN.m / 103ft.lbs
- Proceed in the same way to level the second rotor.
