- Page 5 CRX 425-625 INTRODUCTION The Väderstad Carrier X 425-625 is an hydraulically-mounted, multi-function tool for intensive ground stubble cultivation and consolidation. Carrier X 425-625 is made up of two foldable wing sections mounted on a sturdy central beam. Two lines of conical discs (System Disc) cut through straw and crop residue, mixing the straw and soil to create a flat, uniform surface.

Page 10: Other Rules Governing Safety
Safety rules Other rules governing safety Figure 1.4 ! Because the implement is heavy, front weights should be fitted to the tractor in most instances. Always ensure that the front axle of the tractor is sufficiently loaded to allow it to be driven safely. -
Page 11: Nameplatee
CRX 425-625 ! Never dismantle a roller unit with steel rings. The unit has been pressed together with a force of 4 tons, which constitutes a major risk of personal injury should an attempt be made to dis- mantle it. If you should need to dismantle the unit at any time, contact your dealer as special tools are required for the procedure. -
Page 12: Moving The Implement Without Connecting It To A Tractor
Safety rules Moving the implement without connecting it to a trac- NOTE! If the implement must be moved without it being hitched to a tractor, it must be carried on a machine trailer or truck flatbed! The implement must be extended to working mode and lifted on and off the transport vehicle using a crane. - Page 13 CRX 425-625 Lifting points and lashing points Figure 1.7 01.05.2015 1...

Page 15: Instructions And Settings
CRX 425-625 Instructions and settings Tractor Figure 2.1 Due to the weight of the implement, it is important that a tractor of sufficient size and weight is used! ! In most cases, front weights should be attached to the tractor. Always ensure that the front axle of the tractor is sufficiently loaded to allow it to be driven safely! ! Check that the tractor's tyre set up has been adapted to cope with the weight of the implement and that the tyres are inflated to the correct pressure. -
Page 16: Connecting The Implement
Instructions and settings Connecting the implement Figure 2.2 1 Connect the implement to the three point coupling on the tractor, see “2.4 Selecting hitching points” on page 19. Do not stand between the tractor and the implement when the tractor is reversed and the implement hitched! 2 Connect the hydraulic hoses. -

Page 19: Selecting Hitching Points
CRX 425-625 Selecting hitching points Figure 2.5 The implement is designed for category III three-point hitching. 2.4.1 Hitching point for top link In order to minimise the lifting force required, the top link should be fitted to a high hitching point on the tractor and a low hitching point on the implement. - Page 20 Instructions and settings 2.4.2 Hitching point for hydraulic arms Low hitching point Figure 2.6 A low hitching point provides a good lifting height in areas where there are features such as turn strips. A low hitching point distributes a significant proportion of the weight to the tractor and reduces the working weight of the implement.

Page 23: Switching To Transport Mode
CRX 425-625 Switching to transport mode 1 Lift the implement using the hydraulic arms. The implement must be lifted to a height that is sufficient to allow folding to be done unhindered! 2 Fold in the wing sections using the hydraulic system. 3 Check that both wing sections are secured in position by the lock hooks. -
Page 24: Setting Wing Section Horizontal Alignment
Instructions and settings Setting wing section horizontal alignment Max 45 mm Figure 2.13 The horizontal alignment of the wing sections must be set so that an even working depth and level of compacting is achieved. This setting is done by adjusting the wing folding ram piston rods. NOTE! This is a two-stage process - basic setting and final adjustment. - Page 25 CRX 425-625 Max 45 mm Figure 2.14 Final adjustment In order to achieve the best results during field driving, the wing sections should be set so that there is a slight downhang when they are in raised position. ! In order to make final adjustments, the wing sections must be in their default parallel alignment setting, see“...

Page 27: Setting Implement Parallel Alignment
CRX 425-625 2.10 Setting implement parallel alignment Figure 2.17 The parallel alignment of the implement is adjusted using either the length of the top rod or the height position of the hydraulic arms, depending on which hitching point has been selected in the implement tower, see “2.4 Selecting hitching points”... -
Page 28: Setting Disc Working Depth
Instructions and settings 2.11 Setting disc working depth Figure 2.18 Disc working depth is regulated by two hydraulic cylinders connected in series. These cylinders must be bled before the implement is used. ! Bleed the cylinders as described in “4.11 Bleeding the hydraulic system to set disc front tool” on page 39. - Page 29 CRX 425-625 2.11.1 Mechanical depth stopper. Figure 2.20 The implement is also equipped with a mechanical depth stopper. By fitting spacers to the piston rod on one of the hydraulic cylinders, you limit stroke length and thereby maximum working depth. The working depth can now be regulated during operation to the extent permitted by the new stroke length.

Page 35: Check Of Wing Folding Ram Piston Rod Heads
CRX 425-625 Check of wing folding ram piston rod heads B=Max 45 mm Figure 4.4 Check that the lock nuts (A) to the wing folding ram piston rod heads are tightened at least once per season. If the lock nuts come loose, there is a danger that the ram pipes will rotate, changing the stroke length of the cylinders. -
Page 36: Changing Discs
Service and maintenance Changing discs Make sure the implement rests properly on solid supports. When replacing discs, use a ratchet wrench or better still a nutrunner. Block the disc using a wood block or similar to prevent it from turning. The discs have sharp edges - use gloves! Tighten the pinned head screws crosswise to a torque of 105 Nm. -
Page 37: Replacing The Ram Seal In The Hydraulic Ram Used For Folding
CRX 425-625 Replacing the ram seal in the hydraulic ram used for folding NOTE! Take great care. The hydraulic ram for folding may be pressurised even if the implement is not connected to the tractor. Figure 4.6 NOTE! The piston rod guide is tightened to 700 Nm and fitted with a mechanical rotation lock. NOTE! Clean the hydraulic ram thoroughly before starting work. -

Page 42: Lifting Using A Crane
Service and maintenance 4.16 Lifting using a crane If the implement is to be lifted using a crane, the choice of lifting points must be a considered one. If the implement is in working mode, lifting must be done from the centre section. If the imple- ment is in transport mode, it must be lifted from the wing sections. - Page 43 CRX 425-625 4.16.2 Lifting with implement in transport mode Min 3m Figure 4.11 1 Set the implement to transport mode, see “2.6 Switching to transport mode” on page 23. 2 Connect the lifting devices to the four lifting points on the wing sections of the implement in accordance with “Figure 4.11”.
