6.2.4 Adjustment with hydraulic pressure to the unit (stroke limitation)

Move the RADIUS blade share to the working position. In this position, the blade share must be able to move

forward by 5 mm (1/5”) if you press forward from the rear at the outer end. This play is necessary to keep some

distance between the piston rod of the cylinder and the cylinder bushing. If this clearance is not present, adjust it

using the set screw located in the stop of the bearing housing.

6.2.5 Adjustment of the sensor rod

The setting of the sensor rod is simple and fast: Lift the button on the sensor unit slightly and then move the

sensor rod forwards or backwards in the desired direction. When driving uphill, it is advantageous to position the

sensor rod slightly in front of the blade share. The same applies if the plants have grown at an angle (inclined

forwards) or if the forward speed is higher than 8 km/h (5mph). The sensor rod height can be adjusted via the

screw and counternut on the clamping piece.

6.2.6 Working in strong weeds

If the sensor rod is already pushed backwards by strong weeds, the

sensitivity of the sensor unit can be reduced by inserting a spring

CW009.020600 (Figure 13, item 1). Place the spring between the hook

(item 2) and the adjusting screw (item 3).

6.2.7 Changing the blade share

If the RADIUS blade shares are worn out, they should be replaced in good

time. To do this, loosen the screw (Figure 14, item 33) from the RADIUS

shaft and clean the matching surface (serrated disc Figure 14, item 31).

Make sure that all threads are free of dirt. Place the new blade share on the

serrated disc and tighten the screw firmly. (Tightening torque 190 Nm)

6.2.8 Front engaging tools for RADIUS SL 860

As a general rule, the RADIUS units should only be operated with front engaging tools (see chapter 3.3). These

tools should generally run 20 mm (0.8”) deeper than the RADIUS blade share in order to protect the shaft from

stones etc. (Figure 3).

CLEMENS offers various front tools for a large variety of soil conditions. The

grubber share, for example, is excellently suited to ripping the soil thoroughly

and deeply. In greened plantations, either the oscillating disc colter (Figure 15)

or the disc plow is used.

The oscillating disc colter cuts a clean edge on the vegetation. The disc

plow, on the other hand, can also be adjusted for slightly hilling up or plowing

back. For stronger hilling up and ploughing back work CLEMENS offers the

clearing body LW1.
