R2 RINALDI MTL50, Instruction And Maintenance Manual

Page: 12 / 26

When these two operations are complete, move the engine-driven cultivator close to the machine, making sure
that the sleeve engages with the trasmission shaft of the cultivator and that the flanges touches, then use the
tierods of the cultivator to tighten the machine.
Adjusting the working depth
The working depth is adjusted by means of the roller support pin (fig.3 - ref. A). By selecting a hole on the rod in
which to insert this pin, it is possible to vary the working depth from 0 to 14 cm. It is important for the operator
to leave the machine resting on its roller while working.
Levelling
Levelling is performed by the front scraper (fig.3 - ref. B); it may be adjusted based on the preset working depth by
manually turning the two special screws (fig.3 - ref. C) provided for this purpose. For best levelling results, make
sure that there is always soil in front of the scraper while working.
NOTE: the levelling scraper is an accessory which drags earth already loosened by another machine or the same
machine. If this were not the case, the scraper would be unable to perform the job for which it is built and it could
be ruined. Therefore, when working on hard ground the scraper must be fully raised.
Maintenance
Operations to be carried out in order to maintain the machine in good working conditions:
1) Make sure the tie-rods of the engine-driven cultivator are firmly fastened to the machine flange.
2) Grease the roller support (Fig. 4 – Rif. A)
3) Grease the flange using the special lubricator (Fig. 6 – Rif. A)
4) Check the level of grease in the hub through the cap (Fig. 5 – Rif. A); this operation must be carried out
when the machine has already been running for a few minutes.
5) Generally make sure that all screws are tight, especially the hoe srews. Also make sure that they are
intact; should they accidentally breack while working, we recommend to stop working immediately and
replace them.
