Securing the RowDisc hoe protection discs against unintentional deactivation

Hard soils or fast driving speeds or both together can make an activated RowDisc hoe protection disc spring up so strongly during hoeing operation that the retaining lug on the disc holder can overcome the bar and the RowDisc can unintentionally move into the passive position. To prevent this from happening, the bar can be locked with the linch pin.

  1. Lower the implement on the field with the three-point power lift.
  1. Pull out the linch pin 1 on the activated RowDisc hoe protection disc.
  2. Pull the bar 2 to the rear far enough so that the holes in the positioning plate 3 and the hole in the bar are lined up.
  3. Insert the linch pin through the holes.
  4. Secure all of the RowDisc hoe protection discs against unintentional deactivation in the same way.
NOTE

To prepare the implement for road travel, the securing device against unintentional deactivation must be released on all RowDisc hoe protection discs on the sections, and these RowDisc hoe protection discs must be moved into passive position to comply with the permissible transport width according to the section "Deactivating RowDisc hoe protection discs", Deactivating the RowDisc hoe protection discs.
