Coulter wear
Regularly check the wear of the coulters, tine protection and
deflectors.
Replace the coulters, tine protection and deflectors before they are
too worn.
Knock-on coulters
All coulters are formed with a bulb (A) at the center to ensure a support
protection function. Wear of this bulb therefore serves as an indicator
of coulter replacement.
Image B shows a coulter that has been used in dry ground. The
coulter has actually been worn down to the bulb (A). The bulb
protected the tine support until the end; the time has now come to
replace the coulter.
Image C shows a coulter that has been used in wet ground. The
coulter surface has been worn more quickly than the part length, thus
creating a hole in the bulb. Once this hole appears, the coulter must
be replaced in order to continue protecting the tine support.

WARNING
Keep out of the danger zone.
When being dismantled, the shares may fall and cause injury.
Therefore, when dismantling the shares, always make sure that
no part of your body is beneath them.
\
IMPORTANT
If the coulters are not replaced in time, the excessively worn parts
could fall off while working and the tines could wear.
Excessive wear on the lower part of the tine could require its
replacement in order to attach new coulters.
