Levelflex 2000 is a combined soil packer or a roller depending on the equip- ment with a hydraulic operated crackerboard, which can be delivered as op- tional equipment.
Plate 1 Hydraulics Depending on the type of Levelflex 2000 there are different requirements for hydraulic tapping on the tractor. Levelflex 2000 Number of double-acting hydraulic tappings...
Levelflex 2000 Uncoupling Uncoupling must be done in reverse order than that of coupling. Remember to depressurise the cylinders before the hydraulic tubes are detached. It is important that the Levelflex is secured with rear (A) and front (B) sup- port legs, as this will prevent the machine from tipping over.
∇ When opening the side sections, no persons must be in the implement’s ra- dius of action. Extra weight must not be mounted on the Levelflex 2000, as the implement is not dimensioned for that. side 7...
Levelflex 2000 Adjustment On the Levelflex 2000 hydraulic type (plate 3,b), the side section must be ad- justed with the bolts (A), so the frames on the side sections and the frame head hang on a line (there is an adjustment bolt in each side of the frame head).
Levelflex 2000 Running Levelflex 2000 is constructed so that the implement’s centre of gravity is placed close to the tractor. The result is that the implement’s weight on the tractor is reduced and at the same time the implement will be easier to run.
Levelflex 2000 Operating Speed The recommended operating speed depends on the packer rings, where the Crosskillrings stand the maximum speed. To make the best possible use of the soil packer rings, use them for intractable clayey soil or on newly ploughed soil, which is not packed.
Levelflex 2000 Maintenance A good maintenance secures a long life of the Levelflex 2000 and thereby al- so a full benefit of the machine. Therefore, lubricator nipples (A) have been placed on the spots where hard wear takes place. Plate 8...
Levelflex 2000 After parking in moist conditions over a longer period, the piston rods should be lubricated in oil to avoid rusting. Backlash in the rings In some cases due to normal tolerances of the castings washers might be placed between the bearings and the rings and also between the lock washer (A) of the shaft end and the outer ring.
Levelflex 2000 Optional equipment Crackerboard The crackerboard is mounted in front of the packer rings and is able to make a processing of the soil in form of a leveling and compression dependent on how it is adjusted. The crackerboard makes an excellent processing both for rough plowing as well as after a preceding cultivation of the soil, as the crackerboard both levels and crushes clods.
Levelflex 2000 Adjustment The angle of the tines can be adjusted manually by use of spindles (A) plate 11. The set angle will be retained independent of the depth as the tines are mounted in a parallelogram. Plate 11 Passively adjusted tine Aggressively adjusted tine The angle of the tine is important for whichever work one wants to have done.
Levelflex 2000 The hose carriers (B) make sure that the hose is secured and that it is not squeezed. Plate 13 Stiff type Hyd. type Maintenance Tighten up all screw joints after the first working day. It is important that the...
Levelflex 2000 REPAIR ∇ All repair and maintenance of the Levelflex must be carried out while the packer is securely placed on the ground and thus rests safely on the base. ∇ It is extremely dangerous to stay underneath the Levelflex before the imple- ment is supported properly.
Levelflex 2000 Plate 16 2. Remove the locking bolts and the washer (A) so the rings outside the bearings can be pulled off the shaft. 3. Loosen the pointed screws in the bearings and remove the bolts in the bearings (two in each).
Levelflex 2000 Solid model w. Crosskillring Follow the points as described in the instructions to the 70 rings. Plate 18 Notice the rotational direction of the drum rings. Alternation occurs between the small and the large rings, where a washer closest to the bearings is fol- lowed by a small ring.
Levelflex 2000 Hyd. model w. 70 cm rings If it is only the middle section in which the bearings, the shaft or the rings are to be replaced, then it is done with the side sections in upright position. Re- member that the transport lock must be in mesh.
Levelflex 2000 1. Lift the top piece by using the tractor’s three-point linkage or by using a jack until the chains (A) are tight. Support the top piece to avoid the pos- sibility of squeezing. 2. Remove the self-tapping screws in the nylon rail.
Levelflex 2000 2. Remove the split pins and the rivets where after the cylinder is free. 3. Drain the cylinder of oil by moving the piston back and forth. Plate 23 4. Slide the piston into a middle position and then unscrew the top piece (plate 11) approx.
Levelflex 2000 The repair is done when the Levelflex is lowered and with the side section in a downward position, so the entire implement rests on the ground. Remember to depressurise the cylinder before the hydraulic tubes are loosened. Plate 24 5.
Levelflex 2000 Plate 25 4. Slide the piston into centre position, where after the top piece (pos. 8) is unscrewed approx. 25 mm. A special tool is needed to remove the top piece. If the top piece is very tight, a minor heating of the socket’s front part will loosen it.
Levelflex 2000 Scrapping The first step of the scrapping is to remove the hydraulic tubes and pick up the oil. Drain the cylinders of oil, where after the oil and the tubes should be sent to destruction. If necessary, dismantle the Levelflex to make it easier to handle. The shaft with the rings is removed as described in the first part of the instruction ‘Re-...
