Page 30: Setting/Operation
Setting/Operation Cultivation discs: The disc blades of the machine cut the harvest residues and the soil and mix the residues into the soil down to working depth. The Joker series high speed tillage machines are equipped with 20’’ disc blades. There are currently two (2) options available of disc blades to equip your machine to suite your needs: Smooth Disc Blade Notch Disc Blade... - Page 31 Notes on cleaning: The mechanical seals of the disc hubs are very sensitive. If water has entered them and the machine is then parked over a longer period of time, damage may occur. This can cause corrosion, and both mechanical seal rings may stick together. The mechanical seal rings will then rotate around the O-ring and damage it.

Page 39: To Set Rolling Basket Position
To Set Rolling Basket position: 1. It is best recommended to operate the rolling basket packer system in a Float position at all times, rather than continuous pressure. Continuous hydraulic down pressure may cause the rolling baskets to raise the rear gang of discs on the machine out of the ground during operation, hindering performance and field finish. -
