5.2 Lateral adjustment of the front disc row
Adjusting the working depth of the Tume CultiPack cultivator by rotating the square disc
attachment shaft at the same time also changes the angle of contact of the discs with
the ground to some extent. In order to retain an even tilling result at different working
depths, CultiPack enables adjustment of the lateral position of the first disc row with
respect to the second disc row. If the working depth is altered considerably, the lateral
position of the first disc row should also be adjusted. See Figure 6.
The lateral positioning can be checked by comparing the position of the plate edge
shown Figure 6 with the scale on the front beam. If the working depth of the cultivator is
0….5 cm, the lateral setting can be at its minimum position (as shown in Figure 6). When
increasing the working depth, lateral adjustment must be made by turning the adjustment
screw until the plate edge (indicated in Figure 6 by the plate edge arrow) aligns with the
figure on the scale which most closely corresponds to the desired working depth.
Example:
The working depth is 9 cm. Lateral adjustment is made so that the edge of the
plate, used as the measurement reference point, aligns with “9” on the scale.
Lateral adjustment of the disc shaft of the first disc row is easiest to perform when the
cultivator is raised on the lifter and the disc working depth is initially set to the maximum
position (working depth limit pin fully removed). After carrying out the adjustment, raise
the discs to the transport position and lower the cultivator on the lifter. Finally, install the
pin which limits the maximum working depth in the desired hole (see Figure 3).
