5.6.11 SETTING THE POSITION OF THE REAR
BAR
DANGER
Park the machine on a horizontal and stable surface.
Disengage PTO. Turn the tractor off. Put the parking
brake on.
CAUTION
Danger of breakage. Never lower the rear bar more
than the length of the blades. The rear bar must never
touch the ground.
To level and crumble the soil to a greater degree, the har-
row has a levelling bar (1, "Fig. 35") positioned behind
the tines. It can be adjusted in height by means of crank
screws (2, "Fig. 35"). Make the adjustments by keeping the
bar at the same distance from the soil as far as possible.
Avoid using the bar at depth as it could be damaged. It is
recommended to start working with the levelling bar in a
high position. Set gradually the position of the bar by rota-
ting the crank(3) until the desired position is reached.
