SETTING THE LONGITUDINAL PLANE
The machine is very stable at work; however, when the longitudinal plane is not set properly, the machine
may swing to the sides excessively. This effect may be removed by a proper setting of the longitudinal
plane of the machine using the drawbar of the third point of the tractor suspension so that both the front and
the rear row of discs work in the same depth.

SETTING SIDE DEFLECTORS AND EDGE DISCS
According to the type and quantity of plant residues, it is necessary to set the side deflectors (Fig.9).
Fig. 9 – Options for side deflector settings
The position of the edge discs is adjustable and they allow different recess against other discs. The
adjustment is executed so that the working depth of the edge discs is lower (approx ½ - ¼ of the depth of
the other discs) so that no unevenness is created on the land.

When the machine
swings to the left, the
front disc row is
recessed more.
Lift the front row by
extending the drawbar
of the third point of
the tractor suspension.
When the machine
swings to the right,
the rear disc row is
recessed more.
Recess the front
row by shortening
the drawbar of the
third point of the
tractor suspension
.
