USE AND MAINTENANCE
CAUSES
Unsuitable lifting couplings.
Lifting height too high.
as it works.
Machine with insuffi cient side stability.
Too much soil worked.
Soil working too deep.
Levelling plate clogged.
Levelling plate closed to an excessive extent.
Ground speed too high.
Soil too wet.
Low rotor speed (versions with gearbox).
Soil too wet.
Levelling plate closed to an excessive extent.
Ground speed too high.
The cultivator blades retain the worked soil.
Very tall grass and/or excessively long plant
cuttings
Foreign bodies wedged between the cultivator
blades.
Cultivator blades assembled incorrectly without
respecting the helical positions or with blunt
edges penetrating the soil fi rst.
Worn or broken cultivator blades.
Rotor warped due to blows received in the central
part from foreign bodies during work.
Levelling plates too open.
RIMEDIES
1)
Set the third point hitch parallel to the lower
lifting links.
2)
Limit the lifting travel.
If the fault persists, disengage the PTO as the
machine starts to lift.
1) Lengthen or shorten the third point hitch so that
the upper surface of the machine is parallel
to the ground worked (the PTO connections
of the tractor and machine must be parallel)..
2) Ensure that the machine remains stable by
means of the rods of the lower lift links.
1-2) Reduce the work depth by adjusting the
machine's depth skids or the roller
3) Replace the complete set of cultivator bla-
des to ensure that the rotor is stable.
4) Reduce the speed of the gearbox or of the
tractor.
Change the position of the levelling plate.
1-2) Reduce the work depth by adjusting the
machine's depth skids or the roller.
3) Raise the levelling plate to make the soil shift
more easily.
4)
Reduce the speed of the gearbox.
1) Raise the levelling plate to prevent the clods
from being broken up too much.
2)
Increase the ground speed.
3)
Reduce the speed of the gearbox.
1) Lower the levelling plate to break up the soil
clods to a greater extent.
2)
Reduce the ground speed.
3)
Do not work soil that is too wet.
4)
Increase the speed of the gearbox.
1)
Do not work soil that is too wet.
2)
Raise the levelling plate.
3)
Reduce the ground speed.
4) Reduce the number of cultivator blades from
6 to 4 for each rotor fl ange.
5)
Do not work when the grass is too high or
the plant cuttings are very long. If necessary,
remove the clogged plants from the supports
at the sides of the rotor to prevent them from
overheating.
1)
Free the rotor from foreign bodies.
2)
Disassemble the set of cultivator blades and
fi t them back in place correctly..
3)
Replace the complete set of cultivator bla-
des.
4) Replace the rotor.
5)
Lower the levelling plates.
1) Adjust the depth skids or roller again.
2)
Reduce the ground speed.
3)
Repeat the run several times.
