SECTION 3 -- FIELD OPERATION
3--95
AUTOMATIC STABILISERS
Automatic stabilisers may be fitted in place of the
standard
telescopic
stabilisers,
described
previously.
WARNING
Never operate steerable equipment unless the
stabilisers are installed and correctly adjusted to
prevent excessive lateral movement.
Each stabiliser consists of a telescopic tube
assembly internally threaded at the rear end. The
tube assembly is attached to a mounting bracket
bolted to the outer ends of the rear axle housing.
An externally threaded rod (3) is attached to the
lower links. The threaded rod engages with the
screwed thread in the tube assembly and the overall
length of the assembly is determined by screwing the
rod in or out, as required.
An adjustable chain (4) is attached, at one end, to
the rear fender and at the other end, via a spring,
to a hinged cover (1) on the telescopic part of the
stabiliser. A lug (2) on the telescopic part of the
stabiliser engages a notch in the cover.
When the chain is correctly adjusted it will be slack
when the lower links are raised from the operating
position, so allowing the cover to drop down over the
lug on the stabiliser. When the cover is down, as
shown, the stabiliser is locked at the preset length.
The lower links are, therefore, retained at a set
distance apart, preventing them (and attached
equipment) from swaying.
However, when the 3--point hitch is lowered into the
work position, the chain becomes taut and lifts the
cover from the stabiliser allowing it to telescope
freely. The stabilisers (and implement) will then sway
when engaged in the ground. This feature is useful
as it provides greater implement control when turning
on the headlands of a field.
