4.2.1 CANNON FAN GROUP
The cannon fan group has similar gear box like normal
axial fan groups and the characteristics are similar too.
The impeller has a centrifugal fan type capable to
producing an air flow at high speed, guaranteeing a high
spraying.
The spray head is mounted on a standard thrust block
manually adjustable ( unscrewing the stop screw) or, on
demand, with hydraulic adjustment that can be powered
by tractor
’s hydraulic pump or by an independent
system.
The adjustment of the spray head should be executed
only when the impeller is stopped while the high wind
speed makes it dangerous.
4.2.2 GEAR BOX
The gear box is made by a gear body
with a gearing inside that increases the
input power from the pump (supplied from
the output joining shaft or keyed
depending on the models) transmitting it
to the impeller and consequently the
operation using the output shaft.
On the gear box there is a level to change
the speed ratio or secure
(neutral
position ) of the impeller by the disengage
of the connection shaft
All the models are described on the table FEATURING SET UP at the end of the manual.
Periodically check the oil level in the gearbox!
The changing of the impeller
‘speed must be carried out with all rotating
parts stopped and with the PTO switched off
