10.2 Pin angle adjustment
All pins can be adjusted simultaneously to enlarge or reduce the pin angle.
You adjust the pin angle as follows (see Figure 8):

1. Loosen with a single turn the nuts
(1)
of the angle adjustment.
2. Place a ring spanner
(2)
on the lever and position it in the required pin angle.
Read the pin angle in the indication sticker
(3)
.
Use the ring spanner delivered in the toolbox.
3. Tighten the nuts
(1)
of the angle adjustment.
A 90° angle means hardly any heave movement of the pins. A 90° angle is required for
hollow pins and is recommended for pins of 8 mm (5/16”) or smaller.
From 90° to 75° means more heave movement of the pins.
This adjustment may only be used in combination with solid pins of 12 mm (0.5”) and
18 mm (0.7”). Furthermore, this depends on the condition of the ground, the pin size
and the requirements of the user.
In case of 90°, the pins go into the ground perpendicularly only if the machine is
installed correctly. If this is incorrect, forces may come into play that damage the
machine. Adjust the machine
horizontally in relation to the ground (see Chapter 7).
Make sure that the same angle is set at both sides of the machine. Different settings
can damage the machine.
