7.4. THE WHEEL ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
The wheel direction adjustment can be performed by the mechanic adjusting arm, which can
be displaced optionally by the hydraulic cylinder. With this adjustment the plough tractive line
can be controlled.
If the working width is changed the wheel angle should be
corrected a
s well. With the help of the adjusting lever put
in the same line the wheel axle and the connecting axle.
The wheel axle should be perfectly put
in paralell with the plough sole, it can be
seen on the figure. When the mechanic
controlling lever or cylinder pulls back,
the wheel approaches the beam. And
vice vise when the mechanic lever or
cylinder is pushed the wheel moves off
the beam.
7.5. PREPARATION OF THE NEW PLOUGH
BEFORE THE OPERATION
The Grégoire-Besson ploughs are protected against rust before they leave the plant. They are not
able to perform correct operation till the protective plaint is abraded because of the chafing to the
ground.
The black paint (or clear lacquer) will be chafed in some hectares. But if there is soil which does
not have any chafing affect (peat, clay, sludge), it would be better if you rub off the paint before
starting to plough. It may happen that ground adhere to the breast and it does not slide. For this
purpose apply paint stripper. If it is necessary use stronger material for taking of the paint.
ATTENTI
ON : During the work pay attention to the proper airing if
you apply paint stripper to the breast. Wear goggles and protective
gloves. Pay attention to the direction of the wind.
NB : On the first day to operate the plough easier helps the dismounting of the chisel nose which can
make penetration into the soil quickly especially to the heavy soil.
