Ecotech CLH Cable Layer NT 60 Manuel D'utilisation Et De Maintenance page 13

ADJUSTING THE CABLE LAYING DEPTH
In order to adjust the machine's cable laying depth, use the knob on the back of the pin (fig.8,
no.1). Loosen the knob by a few turns counter‐clockwise and raise or lower the support for the
two rear wheels (fig.8, no.3), using the depth of the graduated bar beside the support (fig.8,
no.2) as a reference. Once the desired depth has been obtained, turn the knob (fig.8, no.1)
clockwise until it has been properly tightened. The numbers on the graduated bar correspond to
centimetres in depth, and range from 1 to 6.
ADJUSTING THE SPEED
In order to adjust the cable layer's speed, use the accelerator's throttle (fig.1, no.3) to increase or decrease the motor's
rpm value. NEVER adjust the speed by making the clutch disks for the transmission's gearbox slip. This can cause serious
damage to the transmission's mechanical parts. The advancement lever must ALWAYS be pulled to its maximum extent,
or rather until it makes contact with the handlebar unit.
ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE HANDLEBAR UNIT
The machine provides for five different handlebar heights. In order to adjust the height,
loosen the handle at the back of the handlebar unit (fig.9, no.2) by turning it counter‐
clockwise until the knob can be extracted (fig.9, no.1). Select the desired height and then
reinsert the knob, turning it clockwise until the handlebar unit has been properly
tightened.
ADJUSTING THE TILT OF THE HANDLEBAR UNIT
When working around hedges, protruding branches, posts or any other type of lateral obstacle, the
machine's handlebar unit can be tilted to the side opposite the obstacle (fig.10). In order to adjust
the tilt angle, pull the lever on the lower left of the handlebar unit (fig.1 no.7) and insert the
corresponding pin into one of the nine holes in the handlebar unit's support. The machine
therefore allows for the handlebar unit to assume 4 different tilt angles, to the right as well as to
the left.
BLOCKING THE ADJUSTABLE PIN
When laying cable for long straight tracts, the adjustable pin (fig.11) can be locked in place in
order to provide for better management of the machine's advancement direction. In order to lock
the pin in place, just tighten the handle on the right side of its support (fig.11, no.1).
ADJUSTING THE WIDTH OF THE WHEELBASE
Both of the wheels are equipped with half‐axles which can be extended to 4 different
positions. This system provides for the possibility of obtaining a distance of 25, 27, 29 or
31 cm between the cutter and the edge (fig.12). This ensures that the cable will be laid at
an equal distance from any border, wall or hedge. In order to adjust this distance, just
remove the locking pin (fig.12 no.2) and reposition it in one of the 4 holes along the half‐
axle (fig.12 no.1). Be sure to reset the safety spring.
STARTING WORK OPERATIONS
Once the cable bas been mounted and the cutter has been installed, the cable must be tied to the ground. In order to
perform this operation, just insert a spike or peg into the ground and tie the end of the cable, which is sticking out of the
bottom of the pin, to it. This operation ensures that the cable will be properly laid within the groove created by the cutter
for the first few meters.
FINISHING WORK OPERATIONS
Once the work operations have been completed, bring the gas throttle (fig.1 no.3) to its STOP position in order to shut off
the motor (the motor can also be shut off by means of the stop switch, if installed, after having brought the motor's
speed to minimum). Once the motor has been shut off, close the fuel tap. Once the machine has been brought to its
storage location, the cutter's support must be cleaned and lubricated (see the following section).
