Adjusting The Coupling Triangle; Adjusting The Swivel Arm Release - Viking ASS 125 Manuel D'utilisation

12.3 Adjusting the coil springs
The coil springs act as a safety
device.
If you hit an obstacle (e.g. pavement), the
snow plough will swing forward. This
dampens the impact.
Risk of injury.
If the coil springs are made tighter
than the setting recommended by
VIKING, any impact will be harder.
Note
The setting must be the same for
both coil springs. Do not use
differing coil spring settings.
Recommended setting:
D = 48 mm
Adjustment procedure:
● Put the snow plough in the transport
position. ( 10.2)

adjustment screw (2).
● Hold the adjustment screw (1) and set
the distance (D) by turning the
adjustment nut (3).
