4.10 Adjusting Depth
To change the working depth it is advisable
to lift the machine clear of the ground so that
the rear roll linkage becomes loose. Move
the position of the depth pin to change the
depth.
When the depth has been altered, lower the
machine into work and check operation. If
the depth change has been significant then
other setting could be affected. This could
be chassis pitch (front to rear) and disc angle
for the given depth.
A small amount of cultivation, eg. a 20 metre
run, should be carried out before altering
these settings to check whether they are now
suitable for the cultivation effect required.
These settings should be adressed
immediately to prevent too much work being
carried out.
4.11 Work Instructions
Driving speed
The DTX 300 can be driven at speeds of up
to 12 km/h.
This depends on the field conditions (type of
soil, surface trash, etc.).
Drive more slowly if the conditions are difficult
or a firmer finish is required.
Turning:
Before turning, the machine should
be lifted out of work while driving.
Likewise, it should lowered back
into work once the turn has been
completed.
4.12 Parking the machine
In order to avoid damage as a result of
moisture, the machine should be parked, if
possible, indoors or under cover.
When manoeuvring the machine,
pay attention to your surroundings.
Ensure that nobody is in the
manoeuvring area (watch for
children!).
„ Park the machine on level and solid
ground.
„ Lower the machine onto the parking
stands / tines ensuring that it is stable.
„ Remove the toplink and lower the link
