Align bodies
New ploughs are delivered with correctly adjusted bodies. Use of the
plough can gradually alter the alignment. Therefore the alignment of
the bodies must be checked after every ploughing season
The bodies are correctly aligned when
•
A2 = A1
•
B2 = B1
•
A2 = B2
The maximum permitted deviation between A1 and A2 is 5 mm. When
there is greater deviation, adjust the bodies with the nuts on the sup
-
ports.
> Start with the middle bodies.
> Loosen the counter nut
> Adjust the nut until the body is in the desired position
> Tighten all nuts, including the counter nut
> Continue with the other subsequent bodies.
Also make sure that left and right hand bodies are parallel.
> From above, take a quick look at the left and right hand supports,
to check that they are parallel
> Adjust when necessary.
