Activating or deactivating ridging discs mounted on the star parallelogram

  • If the ridging discs should be used during hoeing operation, the ridging discs must be activated and adjusted according to the section Adjusting the ridging discs.

  • If the ridging discs should not be used during hoeing operation, the ridging discs must be deactivated.

CAUTION
Risk of injury for hands due to the shearing action of the star parallelogram
When lifting and lowering the star parallelogram, the components of the star parallelogram can act like the scissors.
Be particularly careful when lifting and lowering the star parallelogram.
When lifting and lowering the star parallelogram, do not put your hands in the star parallelogram.

  1. To activate the ridging discs on a parallelogram:

    Follow steps 2 to 7.
  2. Lower the implement on the field with the three-point power lift.
  1. Hold the ridging disc set on the section 3 and pull and hold the locking latch 1 outwards.

The locking pin of the locking latch is pulled out of the front hole 2.

  1. Slightly lower the ridging disc set and release the locking latch.

The locking pin of the locking latch slides inwards against the frame carrier.

  1. Lower the ridging disc set until the locking pin of the locking latch slides into the rear hole and holds the ridging disc set in the active position.
  2. Activate the ridging discs on all of the other parallelograms in the same way.

  3. To adjust the ridging discs:

    Follow the instructions in the section Adjusting the ridging discs, Adjusting the ridging discs.

  4. To deactivate the ridging discs on a parallelogram:

    Follow steps 9 to 12.
  5. Lower the implement on the field with the three-point power lift.
  1. Hold the ridging disc set on the section 3 and pull and hold the locking latch 1 outwards.

The locking pin of the locking latch is pulled out of the rear hole in the frame carrier 2.

  1. Slightly lift the ridging disc set and release the locking latch.

The locking pin of the locking latch slides inwards against the frame carrier.

  1. Lift the ridging disc set until the locking pin of the locking latch slides into the front hole in the frame carrier and holds the ridging disc set in passive position.
  2. Deactivate the ridging discs on all of the other parallelograms in the same way.
