HANDLEBAR HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The ideal height of the handlebar changes according to the depth of the tillage where you want to use it.
To adjust the handlebars:
1. Unscrew the nuts and remove the upper and lower screws on each side.
2. Align the handlebars by placing them in the desired holes in the lowest position.
3. Insert the nuts and bolts and tighten them again.
DEPTH-ADJUSTMENT LEVER
The way of working at depth is controlled by the depth spur.
To adjust the tilling depth:
1. Remove the retaining pin.
2. Raise the lever of the holding adjustment to the position of the selected tillage level.
3. Align the holes in the depth setting lever with the holes in the bracket and replace the retaining pin.
- Depth regulator lever down =
Depth regulator lever downwards. Shallower ploughing.
- Depth regulator lever up =
Depth regulator lever upwards. Deeper ploughing.
TENSION ADJUSTING STRAP
Correct belt tension is essential for good performance. After the first half hour of operation, all cables must be
readjusted. After this, the belt tension should be checked every 2 hours of operation.
To tighten the strap:
1. Loosen the upper nut. Turn the nut 1/8”.
2. Tighten the lower nut.
3. Check the settings.
This procedure has to be repeated until the straps are completely tightened. If the adjustment cannot be made
successfully, replace the strap.
TIPS FOR PLOUGHING
ATTENTION:
Do not adjust the knife depth until the safety levers are in the neutral position. Always
leave the depth setting lever in the transport position before starting the engine by placing the
braking device in the top hole of the depth setting lever.
The key to good ploughing is to do superficial work in the first pass, and then increase the depth.
•
Tilling in depth will depend on soil conditions.
•
When starting to till in very hard or compact soil, place the retaining pin in the highest hole. This will allow
you to work with less depth. With the depth regulator in this position, make several passes over the area to be
cultivated. Then make successive layers.
•
If the handlebar jumps or moves uncontrollably, lower the depth adjuster by placing the teeth in a higher hole.
This will allow you to work normally.
•
If there is grass or vegetation blocking the way, change the position of the handlebars so you can pass through.
