100 ltr/min (For flows greater than 100 ltr/min consult your officially appointed Standen dealer) There must no restriction in this return oil. Ensure that there is a full flow return, or even better return straight back into the tractor gearbox. Consult your tractor handbook or dealer for further information. -
Page 16: Operation
OPERATION Electrical Control System Control for the major functions of the Standen Unistar 2400 are provided electronically by the switches mounted on the in-cab control box (item 1, fig 5) switching the valves on the machine via a CAN-Bus control system. The functions can be monitored from the control box display screen (item 2, fig 5). - Page 17 OPERATION 1.12 Axle Steer The axle steer switch manually steers the machine wheels to left/right. The auto-centre button when pressed operates the self-centring circuit to automatically set the wheels to the straight-ahead position. Axle Level The two axle level switches operate the LH and RH levelling rams (item 1, fig 6). Moving the switch to left will lower the LH side machine.

Page 18: Wheel Settings
1.13 OPERATION Wheel Settings The machine wheels must be set for work in a specific bed width. The wheels should be set to match the tractor wheels. Each wheel is carried by a wheel leg pillar (item 2, fig 6) The pillars have a top and bottom flange plate containing a series of fixing holes. -
Page 19: Automatic Depth Control
OPERATION 1.14 Automatic Depth Control The machine is fitted with an automatic depth control system which ensures an even depth of soil in the finished bed. The depth roller (item 1, fig 8) runs on top of the preformed bed following the contours. The depth roller is linked to a depth sensor (item 1, fig 9) and via the hydraulic valve bank actuates the depth rams (item 2, fig 9). -
Page 20: Setting The Automatic Depth Control
1.15 OPERATION The scrapers (item 7, fig 8) should be set as close to the roller as possible without fouling it. Before transporting the machine on the road, reset the ram stop brackets (item 3, fig 9). Setting the Automatic Depth Control Set the machine into work and adjust the digging depth using the ‘Digger Share Raise/Lower’... -
Page 21: Discs
OPERATION 1.16 Discs The discs (item 1, fig 10) cut and contain the soil while feeding it over the shares onto the stars. The disc width setting is adjusted by loosening the clamp bolts (item 2, fig 10) and sliding the disc hub (item 3, fig 10) to the new position. The pressure setting of the discs is set on the springs (item 4, fig 10). -
Page 22: Boulder Box
1.17 OPERATION Boulder Box (optional) The boulder box is recommended in conditions where many large stones and boulders are encountered and it is advisable to remove them from the field rather than leave them in the trenches between the formed beds. The unit consists of two rows of widely spaced 6 finger stars, and a single row of 10 finger stars. -
Page 23: Braked Axles
Fig 14 Actiflow Star Spacing The Unistar 2400 is available as a clod separating machine or as a stone separator, the difference being the spacing of the stars along the shafts. Each machine can be converted to the other by changing the star spacing or by fitting alternative, ready built-up shaft assemblies. -
Page 24: Maintenance
Slide the two halves in and out several times to ensure that they slide easily and that the grease has spread around the shaft tubes. Use only the BP lubricants recommended by Standen or an exact equivalent recommended by your lubricant supplier. -

MAINTENANCE 1.20 Drive Belt Maintenance The toothed drive belts have adjusters (item 1, fig 15) that are visible when the appropriate guard is opened. As a guide, correct belt tension is achieved when, at a distance half way between the furthest spaced pulleys, the belt can be twisted no more than 45°... -
Page 26: Residual Hydraulic Pressure Dump Procedure
1.21 MAINTENANCE A pressure filter (item 2, fig 15) is mounted in the supply line from the tractor. The element should be replaced after the first 50 hours of running time and then annually or every 500 hours thereafter. Residual Hydraulic Pressure Dump Procedure The following procedure outlines the method of relieving the residual pressure within the hydraulic system. -
Page 27: Daily Maintenance
MAINTENANCE 1.22 Daily Maintenance During the working season the following daily maintenance should be carried out. Check all covers and guards are in position, free from damage, and all retaining latches and hinges are in place and operative. Repair or replace any found to be defective before operating the machine. -
Page 28: Out Of Season Storage
Inspect wheel bearings and check for excessive wear, replace as necessary. Re-pack with fresh grease on re-assembly. Replace pressure filter element. Use only genuine Standen replacement parts. THIS IS NOT A WASHABLE ELEMENT. If a high water content becomes apparent or a cloudiness in the hydraulic oil, the oil should be changed. -
