C CONDITIONER ADJUSTMENTS
The conditioner of the SPLENDIMO 240 MC mower allows the
position of the crop inlet plate to be adjusted. A different rotor speed
can also be obtained.
If the conditioner frequently gets jammed in a long crop, we
recommend you move the conditioner to the rear (i.e. increase the
space around the conditioner). The reverse situation applies if the
machine fails to take up a short crop effectively, making it
impossible to build a neat swath (i.e. reduce the space around the
conditioner).
C.1 Position of crop inlet pate
The clearance between the crop inlet plate and the conditioner rotor
can be adjusted in four positions.
- Dismount both bolts of the hinge blocks of the crop inlet plate on
either side, and in the centre of the conditioner (fig. C-1).
- Position the hinge blocks in front of the correct holes and fit the
bolts.
- Tighten the bolts firmly.
C.2 Rotor speed
The machine can be supplied together with an additional drive
pulley (option) for the conditioner rotor. A different rotor speed can
be selected by exchanging this pulley with the standard part.
Change the pulleys as follows:
- Open the V-belt housing.
- Remove the tension from the V-belts and remove them.
- Remove the two allen headed bolts A (fig. C-2) from the pulley
and place one of the two bolts in the central one of the three holes
in the pulley.
- Tighten the allen headed bolt until the pulley is detached from its
clamping bush.
- Remove the clamping bush and pulley.
- Fit the other pulley (align it with the top pulley) and tighten the
allen headed bolts with a torque of 50 Nm (5 kgm). Then hit the
pulley with a hammer and tighten the allen headed bolts once
again with the same torque (50 Nm/5 kgm). Do not use any oil or
grease when fitting the pulley.
- Mount the V-belts.
- Tighten the V-belts. Adjust the belt tension in such a way that if a
70 N (7 kg) force is exerted on the middle of the V-belt, it will be
pushed in by 10 mm (fig. C-3).
- Close the V-belt housing.
