5. Servicing and Maintenance
5.6 Double Disc Axles
The axles on this roller are tensioned by the
main axle through the centre of the rings and
bearings.
Specialist equipment is required
for the disassembly of Double Disc
axles. Please consult your dealer
under any circumstances that
require disassembly of these
axles.
REMOVE SQUARE/ROUGH EDGES
BEFORE ATTACHING TINE POINT
5.5 Pro-Lift Tines
When fitting new tine points, ensure all rough
or square edges on the mating faces of the
legs are removed prior to fitting the new tips
(if necessary).
Do not attempt to assist fitting tine
point with a steel headed hammer,
as this can lead to splintering of the
metal due to its hardness, which
can cause injury. If tine fitting
requires assistance, a copper/hide
mallet should be used. Goggles
should be worn.

5.4 Terra-Grip Tine Points
When changing points on Terra-
Grip tines extreme care should be
taken. Wear goggles at all times
when changing tine points.
Maintenance of these rollers is limited to daily
greasing of the bearings to flush out dirt, and
regular inspection to ensure the assemblies
are tight, and scrapers are correctly set. The
axles can be tightened provided the bearing
pillar ‘U’ bolts are loosened to avoid
preloading the bearings as they move
sideways to each other. Ensure the bearing
pillars are re- tightened to the mainframe after
this.
5.7 Wing Pitch
On Solo 450 Models, the pitch of the wings
can be altered by using the threaded ends of
the wing cylinders. Tightening the will raise
the outer tips of the wings and adding shims
will lower the outer tips.
On Solo 600 Models, the pitch of the wings
can be altered by adding or removing shims
in the adjustable cylinder pivot. Removing
shims will raise the outer tips of the wings and
adding shims will lower the outer tips.
