OWNER'S MANUAL OF THE MULCH CULTIVATOR PF-PD

7.6. SCRAPER ADJUSTMENT

To adjust the scrapers, unscrew the screw union, move the scraper and retighten the screw union. Make sure to
keep a certain distance between the scraper and the roller.

7.7. ADJUSTMENT OF THE RAM ROD HEADS OF WIN G FOLDING RAMS

Adjust the ram rod heads of the wing folding rams to achieve a uniform work depth.
•
Fold down the cultivator to the work position on level, hard surface. Fully extend the wing folding rams.
•
Lower the cultivator until the tine tips are a few centimetres above the surface.
•
Check to make sure all tips have the same distance to the surface below. If necessary, perform adjustment of
the ram rod heads of the wing folding rams until the setting is correct. To facilitate this adjustment, slightly retract
the rams. Please note that it may become necessary to adjust the four ram rod heads to different lengths in order
to achieve correct setting of the cultivator.
•
When working in very hard soil, the work result could be further improved by screwing out the front ram rod
heads of the wing folding rams 1-2 turns in addition to what is explained above
Figure 7-10
CAUTION
Check at least once per season that the counter-nuts are tightened. If the counter-nuts become loose, there
is a risk that the cylinder tubes could turn, thus affecting the stroke length. The result is uneven working of
the implement. Unless this inspection and retightening procedure are done, the rams could eventually come
loose from the wing sections with the risk of serious injury!
