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.
The implement is drawn across the field, although it is mounted in the front
lift, which makes it easier to run over smaller hindrances. The frame head (A)
is mounted in three points (B,C) where the pulling from the tractor is trans-
mitted through point (B), which is the only point that is mounted rigidly. This
means that the steering properties are maintained which must be given a high
priority if the Levelflex is to be part of a seed-bed combination.

When arriving at the working place, disengage the transport lock (hydraulic
models), so the side sections can be lowered (see plate 4). Pressure is put on
the cylinders for the side sections, so the unit is stiff. This causes a distribu-
tion of weight on to all the rings and leaves a plane surface.
As the job begins, lower the Levelflex and place the lift in a floating position
so the implement and the tractor can function independently of each other. If
you are working in very friable soil and want a larger control over the ma-
chine then the linkage can be raised, so it does not rest on the frame head, but
hangs from almost tight chains. If the rings start sinking too deep into the
ground, the frame head with the packer module will quickly begin to hang
from the chains.
As a point of departure it is recommended that the chains are loose and that
the linkage rests on the nylon rail. Thereby the packer module can move after
the surface of the ground.

When using the double-acting front lift, weight must not be transmitted
from the tractor to the Levelflex.
