5.0 WORKING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
The working depth can be adjusted if the machine is raised (before start of
operation) or during processing of the ground when the machine is operating.
To adjust working depth (see fig. 10):
1. First turn the nuts (1) of the front roll loose one turn.
2. Adjust the roll to the desired working depth by turning the spindle nuts (2).
3. Retighten the nuts (1) of the front roll again.
The working depth adjustment on the stickers is only applicable when tines with a
length of 150 mm (6”) are being used. When shorter tines are used, subtract the
length difference with regard to the 150 mm (6”) from the value on the stickers.
6.0 TINE (INSERTION) ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
All tines can be adjusted at the same time in order to increase or decrease the tine angle.
To adjust the tine angle (see fig. 10):
1. Loosen the nuts (3) of the corner adjustment one turn.
2. Use the handle (4) to position the pins in the desired tine angle.
3. Retighten the nuts (3) of the corner adjustment again.
A 90 degree angle means hardly any insertion. This is required for hollow tines and is
advised for the 8 mm (5/16”) tines.
From 90 to 70 degrees means increased insertion. This is advised for solid tines and
depends on the soil condition, the tine size and the customer’s wishes.
At 90 degrees the tines only go dead straight into the ground if the machine is
correctly installed, see fig. 8. If this is not done correctly a force F, see fig. 10, may
result, which damages the machine.
The length of the compound connecting rod (5) must be 365 mm (14.4”),
which can be calibrated by using shims (6).
