Operating - Page 15
Change speed
Rotary harrows are equipped with a gearshift with one
pair of gears. A variety of rotation speeds of the rotor can
be obtained so that the needs of the operator can be
better met.
It is very useful for land which is uneven in that it makes
rotary hoeing easy and at the same time allows the trac-
tor to be maintained at a constant speed.
To change tiller speed you must:
1) Unscrew its bolds and remove the rear cover of the
gearbox.
CAUTION: Watch out: oil will come out.
2) It is advisable to bend the rotary cultivator forwards.
3) Pull the gears off their shafts and invert the position
of their seats.
