Handbrake
The transmission brake is normally adjusted with the cable adjuster at the cab end of the cable. To adjust, firstly
chock the wheels and ensure the brake lever is off. Then adjust the nuts on the cable end fitting whilst someone
rocks the brake disc for you, until the pad starts to drag on the disc. Then back off a small amount until it clears.
If you run out of adjustment, back off the cable adjustment, unbend the tab on the anti-rotation clip (A) and
loosen the screw enough to disengage the lever spline, Rotate the lever one tooth anticlockwise and retighten
the screw making sure the spline teeth are properly engaged. Bend up a tab that aligns with one of the screw
head flats. Then readjust at the cab end of the cable as above.
Further adjustment is provided on the slotted cable mounting bracket (B) if required.
It is most important that the calliper assembly is kept
clean and well lubricated.
Oil all moving parts
regularly particularly when the Agribuggy is being
used to spread fertiliser.
A grease nipple is also fitted into the operating cable
approx 300mm up from the brake calliper.
Check the friction pads for wear regularly and
replace if necessary. To check for wear, measure the
distance from the carrier side casting to the rear of
the disc face. This should not be less than 1.5mm.
To replace the pads remove the locknuts from the two
main calliper mounting bolts (C), remove the bolts and
the calliper assembly. The old pads can then be
prised out and replaced with new ones. Reassemble
and readjust as above.
Steering.
The steering on the Agribuggy 5D is hydrostatic with the oil supply for the steering unit being taken from the
main system. There are therefore no specific oil levels to check.
There are grease nipples on the steering ram ball joints which require greasing periodically.
See appendix 1 for further information on the four wheel steering system.
Steering stop Adjustment
When fitting row crop wheels, for late season work, you may find it necessary to have to adjust the steering
stops to stop the wheels fouling the cab. This will almost certainly be the case if you are working on track widths
of less than 68".
To adjust the stops, firstly turn the steering until the wheels are just clearing the cab on LH lock and then simply
slacken off the lock-nut and screw out the stop till it touches the swivel housing. Repeat for LH lock.
When screwing the stops in, it is important that they are not screwed in further than the original
factory settings.
This will cause the swivels to over-rotate causing damage to the seals and may also result in
damage to the axle drive shafts.
