12.0 OPTIONS (see fig.8.)
Standard the LEVEL-SPIKE 1700 & 2200 are delivered with a set of deep slit knives ( 4 per disk)
Basically, depending on the knife or tine size, we can mount 3,4,6 or 12 knives evenly per disk. With
the standard kit, we can mount 4 per disk, as is shown in Fig.8. It is important to mount the knives in
the holes as shown in Fig.8. Use bolt 3 and nut 1. In the figure the preferred rotation direction is given
as well. Be aware that the rotor is mounted correctly in the main frame, so the rotation direction works
out well.
@ In almost all cases the LEVEL-SPIKE is towed behind a tractor. However in case the unit is pushed,
the rotor should be reversed.
@ Under some conditions, the knives may do a better job when reversed. The best way to try is
reversing the drive direction and look at the results. If the results are better, reverse the rotor in the
main frame.
@ The more knives/ tines are assembled, the closer the pattern. However the more weight is needed for
penetration either. So if you require depth, use less knives.
@ The disks are welded offset to each other, so we can create a spiral ( 4 in Fig.11.), which makes the
machine run smoother. Be aware of this when more knives are added.
@ Changing or adding knives/ tines can be done in two ways:
1.
Remove the whole rotor and change/ add knives, see instructions in Chapter 2.
2.
Remove the covers, see # 15 in Fig.7, and work from the top
•
Be aware of sharp items. Work carefully. Secure the machine all the time with the jack
•
Never crawl under the machine or rotor
•
Always secure the rotor from rolling away.
