4.10 FERTILIZER SPREADER

BREVIGLIERI interrow tillers can be equipped with a hopper type fertilizer spreader of various sizes (1 m with a 110 l. capacity, 1.5
m with a 165 l. capacity, 2 m with a 220 l. capacity), depending on the type of machine and number of tilling units. This spreader
allows the plants to be treated locally with fertilizer by dosing this latter as required during the tilling operation.
Always take all the possible precautions before working on the machine in any way. Turn off the tractor engine, disengage
the power take-off and apply the parking brake. Wear work gloves and use suitable tools in a good condition.
Comply with the following instructions to fit the fertilizer spreader to the interrow tiller:
▪
Remove the protective casing from the drive shaft (
▪
Remove the terminal guard from the frame (
(these two operations must only be carried out on the left-hand side of the interrow tiller).
▪
In the version with the folding frame, keep the two folding parts up, then remove the protective casings from the hexagonal
drive shaft and take out the transmission half-coupling
(this operation must only be carried out on the left-hand side of the interrow tiller).
▪
Position the fertilizer spreader on the frame, center it along the length and lock it in place with the relative bolts.
▪
Insert the pulley into the drive shaft and lock it in place. Make sure that it is aligned with the fixed one on the fertilizer spre-
ader.
▪
Insert the driving belt and tighten it by means of the relative bolts (see Fig.
tighten the main belt, then lock the bolt (2 Fig. 15). To tighten the second belt, first loosen the bolt (3 Fig. 15) then tighten
the belt by hand.
▪
The belt is tightened correctly when it gives about
▪
Assemble the external half-casing of the pulleys.
▪
Assemble the drive shaft guards.
▪
Fit the protective ends back on the ends of the frame.
▪
Assemble the hose pipes on the hopper outlets and fix them in place with the relative clamps. Lock them in the lower part
to the fixed supports on the casing of the tilling units.
How to adjust the amount of fertilizer.
There is a lever that opens or shuts the fertilizing point under each hopper outlet (1 Fig. 16). Use the lever above the third-point
hitch (A Fig. 17) to adjust the quantity of fertilizer. The graduated scale allows the operator to establish the right opening degree
for each type of fertilizer.

4.11 COULTER

Always take all the possible precautions before working on the machine in any way. Turn off the tractor engine, disengage
the power take-off and apply the parking brake. Wear work gloves and use suitable tools in a good condition.
This accessory can be supplied separately. It earths up the roots of the plants automatically during the tilling operation. It is fitted
into the relative hole (1 Fig. 18) in the casing of the tilling unit, after which the rod of the spring should be inserted into the relative
housing (2 Fig. 18). The depth of the accessory must be adjusted by raising or lowering it on its support (3 Fig. 18) after the tilling
depth has been regulated.
Coulter slant adjustment
Using the nut (4 Fig. 18) above the spring, the coulter can be slanted in relation to the ground (Fig. 18). Tighten the nut to raise the
rear, loosen it to lower the rear part. Once the slant has been adjusted, increase or reduce the adherence to the ground depending
on the conformation of this latter, using the ring nut (5 Fig. 18) under the spring. Turn the nut towards the right to increase the
adherence or towards the left to reduce it. To adjust the ridging height, open the two parts of the coulter to a greater or lesser de-
gree by removing the safety pin and moving the levers to the required hole (Fig. 19), depending on the width of the actual crop.
