GRASSLAND MODELSRoller HeightThe working depth of grassland models is determined and regulated by the height at whichthe rear roller is set. A selection of holes in the roller bracket attachment point on eachside the rear of the frame allows for a choice of height settings at which to set the roller.After selecting the desired height the ‘dog legged’ roller brackets are locked in positionwith the pins and lynch pins provided. Pin position ‘A’ indicated in the illustration belowregulates the upper height and pin position ‘B’ the lower height. Ensure at all times thatmatching hole positions are selected on each side of the machine.NOTE: It is advisable during transportation of the machine that the roller is locked ‘tight’ inposition to avoid risk of the roller bouncing when traveling over rough terrain – this willreducing stress on components and increase stability of the carrying vehicle.25
Point TypesNarrow points (Longlife Points)These are the normal choice for deepcultivation; the points will lift and shatter thesoil structure with low draft and minimummixing.Longlife PointWide points (Delta Points)Wide points will break up a bigger area ofground and can therefore be spaced furtherapart; particularly useful for shallowcultivations.Delta Point‘Knock On’ Point Attachment – 24” Leg Models onlyGrassland Shakaerators with 24” Legs are fitted with ‘knock on’ type points. The machinesare despatched with a special long handled hammer and safety glasses specifically for usein fitting these types of points; the head of the hammer is made of mild steel to reduce thepossibility of ‘chipping’ the hardened points when striking them during fitment.‘Knock On’ Point FitmentCheck that the point socket is empty of any form of debris. The point must be tapped firmlyonto the Shakaerator shank foot until the indentation in the shank socket engages theraised 'pip' cast in the shank.If, by using reasonable force, the point will not engage far enough onto the shank foot, it ispermissible to grind the corners of the shank until sufficient engagement is obtained. Careshould be taken not to over grind, which would result in a loose fit and possible loss of thepoint when working.WARNING! When fitting these types of points eye shields must always be worn.When fitting points to shanks already fixed to the machine stand to the rear or to one sideof the frame when using the hammer, do not crouch beneath the frame.‘Slipper Point’ Attachment – 30” Leg Models onlyGrassland Shakaerators use<strong>McConnel</strong> ‘Slipper’ Points whichare securely held in position oneach leg by a Grassland Clamp(Part Number 21347.03) asshown opposite.It is important to ensure correctfitment of the clamp and point tothe leg.Incorrect fitment can result inthe point coming loose or adriftduring work.The correct procedure for fitment is shown on the following page.26
