4.2 Setting up/adjusting
4.1.2 Feeler positions
Component
Adjustment steps
1. Align the feeler so that it is parallel
to the ground (red marking)
Ensure a 90° angle!
2. When operating the feeler up to the
détente stop of the control valve
this must be flush with the front
edge of the crow's foot blade
NOTE
Depending on the requirements, the feeler can be set to be minimally in front of the blade to create a
buffer zone
Component
Adjustment steps
1. Feeler position [1]
Vines growing straight
Push the feeler, without turning the toothed
wheels,
(in the hole of the toothed disk pair) further to
the front (with respect to the plant) to create a
buffer zone
2. Feeler position [1`]
Steep slopes
Turn the feeler at the feeler hoop to the front (to
the right, counterclockwise, to the left,
clockwise) by means of the fine teeth of the
toothed disk pair to increase the distance
B`between blade and sensor
3. Travelling speed [B]
Reaction time
Push the feeler further into the bolt holder to
swivel more quickly under the row of vines
NOTE
Feeler position [1]
The feeling setting with parameters A and B is intended for vineyards / orchards on flat terrain.
Distance A with respect to A´. is increased. This buffer zone represents an additional protective
element for the plants. The LUV unit can be initiated earlier by earlier and longer contact between
feeler and plant. The result is that the weeding area around the plants is reduced and the safety
clearance is increased.
Feeler position [1`]
For steep slopes or problem areas (with plants that grow irregularly or not straight) the feeler at the
feeler hoop can be turned to the front (to the right, counter clockwise, to the left, clockwise) by means
of the fine teeth of the toothed disk pair. The distance B` between blade and feeler is increased as a
result so that the blade swivels inwards earlier before the vine with the aid of the feeler.
Travelling speed
The higher the speed of the tractor, the further the feeler must be pushed into the bolt holder
(reduction of distance A) so as to swivel more quickly to back under the row of vines after initiating.
In the same way, when travelling slowly, the feeler must be pushed more out of the bolt holder
(increase of distance A  A´) so that the blade does not swivel into the row of vibes too quickly.
