Adjusting the spring tension of the extendable spring guide plates

The swiveling side panel gives way upwards to obstacles. The dead weight of the side panel and a tension spring bring the side panel back into working position. The preload of the tension spring is adjustable.

The spring tension for the side guide plates 1 is factory-set for light to medium soils.
