SAFETY GUARDS
The safety guards protect against accidents and therefore ensure maximum machine safety.
Figures 1, 3, 7, 11 and 15 (pages 10, 11 and 12) indicate the guards factory setting for category 1N (narrow lower
link spacing) and category "O" attachments with the head stock in the central position.
This setting provides the optimal guarding whatever the machine width, hitch category and head stock position.
When using a tractor with a category 1 linkage or when coupling to a machine with the head stock in the offset
position, the guards may also be fitted as shown in figures 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 16 , 17 and 18 to increase
clearance around the lower link brackets.
However, on no account must the clearance between guards and lower attachment yokes exceed
60 mm / 2.3" (see distance D in figure 7). Lateral guard support (A and B in figure 7) must always remain
fitted.
Note : - When mounting the EL 35 - 130 headstock in the offset position remove guard (C, figure 12) and replace
it with bracket (E) supplied with the machine as shown in figure 14.
- A third angle iron (F), also supplied with the machine, must be installed as shown in figures 13 and 17
whenever the EL 35 - 130 or EL 35 - 155 is attached in the offset position to a category 1 N or category
"0" tractor.

OFF-SETTING
(fig. 19) (only for 105 / 117 / 130 / 155)
The EL 35 Power Tiller can be mounted behind a tractor in an off-set position to the right (or in line with the tractor).
The setting of the machine in this position should be carried out before mounting to the tractor.
The offset position is obtained by removing the head stock (1) from its central position (A) and mounting it in position
(B). To avoid accidents, make sure the power tiller is properly secured before removing the head stock. Use a
hoist, lifting from the tube. Avoid using makeshift props that are unsafe.
Position A : in line Position B : 18 cm (7") off-set to the right by distance "D".
After reassembling the head stock, make sure the front safety guards are correctly fitted (see pages 10, 11 and
12).
Note :The POWER TILLER EL 35 type 92 cannot be off-set by moving the hitch frame but it is possible to obtain
adjustment of 6 to 8 cm (2 to 3 ins) by adjusting the lower link brackets.
When reassembling, make sure all bolts (V and
W) are tightened to a torque of 14 daNm
(100 ft.lbs).
- 14 -
FITTING TO THE TRACTOR
The EL 35 has two adjustment settings giving the following attachment possibilities :
The lower link brackets are mounted symmetrically to the head stock.
*
- 15 -
P.T.O. DRIVE SHAFT
Make sure the EL 35 is resting on the ground and is maintained in a stable position with the parking stand or with
the front wheels. Clean and lubricate the gearbox input shaft and slide the mating PTO shaft yoke in place.
After mounting the Power Tiller, stabilize the tractor 3-point linkage with whatever means are recommended (tie
bars, chains etc.).
Be sure the tractor P.T.O. shaft drive is disengaged and stop engine.
Couple the PTO shaft to the tractor P.T.O. stub.
Attachment is correct when machine is horizontal in work position.
With the machine resting on the ground, adjust the top link (P) length to a position where the tractor PTO stub
and the tiller input shaft are parallel.
In working position :
- The 2 angles (K) formed by the centre lines of the yoke and the sliding tubes must be equal and not exceed
a combined angle of 30° when working.
- The sliding tube overlap (L) must be at least 22 cm (8.5") (fig. 23).
- 16 -
With the machine fully raised on the tractor hydraulic linkage :
- The 2 sliding tubes must not completely overlap each other ; a gap (M) of 1 cm (3/8") should exist between end
of sliding tube and yoke.
- Both U joints (K) should operate approximately at the same bent angles which must never exceed
40° (figure 23).
Should the above mentioned conditions not exist :
- Shorten both tubes by an equal length, chamfer edges and grease liberally before refitting.
- To avoid noisy running of the PTO shaft when lifting the machine out of work, attach top link (P) so that it is
almost parallel to the lower links (fig. 23).
Important : Always disconnect the tractor PTO drive before lifting the machine into the transport position,
otherwise permanent damage can be caused to the transmission shaft.
Repeat these adjustments each time the machine is mounted to a different tractor.
A safety chain (C) is delivered with the machine to
support the PTO shaft (T) when the machine is
parked. This prevents the PTO shaft from becoming
soiled or deteriorated when in contact with the ground.
Attach the chain (C) to the support (U) as shown in the
photo 24 opposite.
Always make sure the PTO shaft guards are in good condition and secured with the safety chains
provided to prevent them from turning. The safety chains should be attached to the side of the
machine at the safety guard of the central gearbox (photo 24). Replace guards immediately if they
become damaged.
- 17 -
ROTOR SPEED
The rotor speed of the EL 35 is 248 rpm with a P.T.O. speed of 540 rpm.
No other PTO speed is allowed.
USE
BEFORE ADJUSTING, MAINTAINING OR REPAIRING THE MACHINE, TURN OFF THE
ENGINE, REMOVE IGNITION KEY AND WAIT UNTIL ALL MOVING PARTS HAVE COME TO
A COMPLETE STOP.
The tilth varies with the work required. The degree of tilth is governed by combining the following factors :
- rear shield position, regulated by suspension chain,
- forward speed,
- working depth,
- mounting of 2 or 3 pairs of blades,
- number of passes.
Coarse tilth :
- Rear shield up
- Fast forward speed (approx. 2.5 mph - 4 km/h)
- 2 pairs of blades.
Fine tilth :
- Rear shield down
- Slow forward speed (approx. 1 mph - 1.5 km/h)
- 3 pairs of blades.
- 18 -
Hints on use :
- Allow the rotor to rotate at ist working speed before engaging it into the soil. Gradually lower the machine while
pulling forward with the tractor.
- Always work in a straight line. When turning, lift machine out of work.
- Never work in reverse, otherwise damage could occur to some component parts.
- Do not disengage the PTO drive unless the machine has been lifted out of work.
Important remarks :
Like many farm machines, the use of the EL 35 entails limits which must be respected in all situations.
These limits are often tied in with :
- meteorological conditions : avoid working during and immediately after rainfall, wait until ground to be
worked is completely drained,
- soil types : smooth clods indicate too malleable or too humid soil to be worked in. Wait until ground is
completely drained. Soil consistency is ideal when clods crumble without sticking,
- tractor power : adapt share depth, working depth and forward speed to power available and type of work
to be done.
Never exceed the maximum allowable tractor DIN power : 26 kW (35 hp).
- 19 -
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
1° WHEEL ASSEMBLY - Kit No 120 6600
The EL 35 can be equipped with a gauge wheel kit to
control working depth. Wheels (R) are fitted on cross
tube (T) in front of the machine (photo 26).
The wheels (R) are adjustable :
- In height on the inside of their suport (S) using the
adjustment pin (B) (see photo 26). To avoid any risk
of accident, don't forget to install safety pins (A).
- The wheels are also adjustable sideways so that
they may be positioned in line with the tractor
wheels.
Tighten screws (U) to 14 daNm / 100 ft.lbs.
The EL 35 may also be equipped with a set of two skids to be mounted on each side of the machine for setting
and adjusting the rotor working depth. The skids are attached to the front of the machine with bolts (U) (torque
8 daNm / 60 ft.lbs) and to the rear of the machine with the holed bars (T) and bolts (U) (torque 21 daNm /
155 ft.lbs).
Depth control is adjusted by means of the holed skid bars (T) (photos 27 and 28).
A stand (E) is supplied with the skids to ensure stability when machine is parked (photo 28).
To avoid any risk of accident, don't forget to install safety pin (A) (photo 28).
2° SKIDS + STAND
Kit No 120 6840
- 20 -
3° P.T.O. SHAFT WITH FRICTION SLIP CLUTCH (photo 29) - No 4500 402
The EL 35 can be equipped with a PTO transmission shaft complete with friction slip clutch.
The spring pressures are adjusted before delivery to
a length of 27 mm to give a correct load with PTO
speed of 540 rpm.
The theoretical length «L» of springs «R» is an
average setting and slight deviations can be made
according to working conditions and tractor engine
rating.
The springs of the slip clutch must all be equally adjusted to a setting where the implement can operate under
normal conditions without the plates slipping. However, when extreme conditions are encountered, such as
obstructions, the friction plates must slip.
IMPORTANT : * Always check if the clutch is set correctly for the work to be carried out. It should feel warm
to the touch during work.
* If the clutch slips excessively (too light a spring pressure, obstacles, etc.), readjust if
necessary and wait until the temperature of the clutch drops to a normal work temperature
of approximately 40°C (104 °F) before continuing work. If the clutch overheats it will slip more
easily, thus increasing disc wear.
* With L = 26 mm the springs (R) will be completely coil bound and the clutch cannot operate.
Never work with springs fully locked as this risks deteriorating drive line components if an
obstruction jams the rotor. Always loosen them by at least half a turn.
NEVER FULLY LOCK THE SPRINGS.
Check clutch setting regularly, especially after the machine hasnt worked for a long time. Completely slacken
off the 6 springs (R) (photo 29) by unscrewing their securing nuts, let the friction plates slip for a few seconds
then retighten springs as explained above (to L = 27 mm).
Note : For easier access when wishing to adjust the slip clutch, we strongly recommend that you firstly remove
the clutch guard. Do not forget to replace the guard after adjustment is made.
4° P.T.O. SHAFTS
The following PTO shafts are available :
- part no. 4500 400 : PTO shaft supplied as standard with the machine,
tractor end yoke : 1 3/8" - 6 splines
- part no. 4500 402 : optional PTO shaft with friction slip clutch,
tractor end yoke : 1 3/8" - 6 splines.
- 21 -
MAINTENANCE
1° LUBRICATION
PTO transmission shaft (A) (photo 30) : Grease the telescopic tubes and universal knuckle joints every 8
hours with SHELL Multi-Purpose grease NLGI grade 2. Also grease
the spring loaded peg daily.
Central and side gearboxes (photos 30 and 31) : Change oil after first 10 hours of operation and thereafter
every 100 hours (oil filler plugs "R", Oil drain plugs "V"). Fill
both boxes up to the level plug (N) for central gearbox or N
for side gearbox with SHELL SPIRAX SAE 90 or 80 W 90
EP (GL4 or GL5).
Quantities : Central gearbox : 0,75 l (1.32 imp. pts)
Side gearbox : 0,5 l (0.88 imp. pts)
Check oil levels weekly.
Lubricate all other exposed pivot joints and hinges.
After working in the field and at the end of every season, clean and lubricate the machine.
WE RECOMMEND SHELL LUBRICANTS TO SAFEGUARD YOUR MACHINE.
- 22 -
2° FITTING THE BLADES
The EL 35 Power Tiller is equipped with curved blades.
The blades can be fitted in two different ways, depending on the job to be done :
- 3 pairs of blades per flange (fig. 32 a) :
3 right blades (D) and 3 left blades (G) (as fitted at the factory)
- 2 pairs of blades per flange (fig. 32 b) :
2 right blades (D) and 2 left blades (G).
To recognise if the blades are right (D) or left (G), hold the blade with the bolt holes facing downwards, point the
cutting edge in the direction of rotation (F) and note the direction of their curved portion.
A = machine forward direction (fig. 33).
To fit blades helicoidally, proceed as follows :
- Always start fitting each flange with the same type of blade, placing it opposite mark (R), shown by a chamfer
or a hollow (see fig. 32) ;
- all blades should be fitted on the left face of the flanges (see fig. 33).
- Fixing bolt heads should face the blades, washers and nuts should face the flanges.
Tighten nuts to a torque of 12 daNm (88 ft.lbs).

Note : Due to the small distance between the furthest right-hand flange and its adjacent flange, on the
92 cm / 36" and 117 cm / 44" wide rotors, only fit right-hand blades (curved towards the outside) on the
furthest right-hand flange. Make sure that all right-hand blades are mounted in a spiral fashion with the
left-hand blades on all other flanges.
