AXR-H Usage The AXR-H is a rugged disc harrow that is designed to cut, mix and pulverise plant stubble and plant residue. The AXR-H performs particularly well when breaking down large quantities of straw and plant residue, since the implement will never drag or become plugged with plant material.

AXR-H The AXR-H must not be used as a crane, a post driver, a hydraulic press or anything similar. Operate the tractor and AXR-H only while seated in the driver’s seat. Never allow anyone to ride on the implement.
AXR-H Hook-up and Dismounting The linkage of the AXR-H is manufactured in compliance with DS/ISO 730-1 catego- ry II and III. If the lift of your tractor is not equipped for this, contact your DALBO representative. Hook-Up First mount the lift arms into the ball sockets (A). Elevate the lift and move the hitch jack up into the transport/working position (B).
AXR-H Handling without tractor lift arms If you need to move the AXR-H other than by use of the three-point hitch, we rec- ommend lifting it with straps around the middle section, raising the machine so that it hangs in balance.
AXR-H Adjustments and Settings The AXR-H is preset in the factory, but it will always be necessary to make some fi- ne adjustments before use. The numerous adjustment possibilities make your AXR- H more versatile, and allow you to get optimum performance from the implement.
AXR-H Fig. 4 Scrapers Adjust the scrapers by loosening the bolts (A), so that the scrapers can be moved. Adjust the scrapers so that there is a minimum space of 5 mm between the scrap- ers and the discs, but make sure that the scrapers never touch the discs.
Remember to disengage the locks before folding up the implement. Hydraulic locks for 6 meter AXR-H The disc gangs of the AXR-H 600 are equipped with hydraulic locks as standard. Fig. 9 The locking system is activated when folding and unfolding the disc sections.
AXR-H Automatic hydraulic lock for the 6 meter AXR-H A fully hydraulic locking system can be mounted on the disc gangs of the AXR-H 600 if the hydraulic requirements exceed the hydraulic outlets of the tractor. After the side wings are unfolded, hold the hydraulic lever in the same position un- til the locks are activated.
AXR-H Adjustment The distance between the outermost disc and the fingers of the outer harrows can be adjusted with a pin (A), using approximately 30 cm as a standard setting. Re- member to insert the split cotter pin again. Fig. 11 Fig.
Never load extra weight onto the AXR-H. The AXR-H is an effective land manager and it is capable of mixing a large quantity of soil and plant residue. However, in addition to this effective land treatment, proper driving and equipment settings are required to ensure that the fields will be left uniformly level and without any ridges.
Secure to disengage the locks on the discgang before folding up the implement. After the side wings and the packer roller have been folded up, lower the AXR-H so that the transport lock of the wheel suspension locks firmly and securely.
The AXR-H can be set for very light soil cultivation at a depth of only 5 cm. If work is carried out at a depth of only 5 cm, best results will be achieved through a very aggressive angling of the discs, so that the full amount of the cut can be achieved.
When starting up, first lower the tractor lift down to the chosen depth. Then, sink the rear of the AXR-H down using the wheel frame. This special control of the im- plement provides a uniform start and stop of tillage work at the headland.

AXR-H Maintenance Proper maintenance ensures a long lifetime for the AXR-H and also optimum per- formance from the implement. To facilitate maintenance, grease fittings have been mounted on those locations where wear on the equipment is the greatest. Tighten all nuts, bolts, hydraulic fittings or any other fastened assemblies after the first workday.
Safety Instructions It is extremely dangerous to work or walk under the AXR-H when it is raised in the transport position unless it is securely blocked or held into position. The engine of the tractor must be stopped and the brakes must be locked.
Lubricate and adjust the wheel bearings once a year. Make sure that the tyre pres- sure is 3.9 bar for 500/55x15.5 14 ply tyres. If the AXR-H has been frequently in use both in the spring and in the autumn, the wheel bearings must be lubricated Dismounting/mounting of wheels every six months.
AXR-H ing a new wheel, screw the nut on and tighten by hand. Next, lower the wheels until they are touching the ground and tighten the nut to a torque of 100 Nm. Adjustment and lubrication of wheel bearings Dismounting/Mounting Wheels 1.
(see hydraulic di- agram). 3. Fasten the incoming hoses to the AXR-H and connect the hoses to one of the tractor’s double-acting female coupling. Move the packer roller folding cylin- ders until they are fully extended several times in a row to bleed air out of the system.
7. Check the hydraulic system for leaks. Never allow bystanders within the operating radius of the AXR-H when the angle adjustment is activated. Table 7. Hydraulic Hose Markings Function...
Electro-Hydraulic Operation Electro-hydraulic operation requires only one double-acting service on the tractor. AXR-H´s functions are accessed through four electronic sockets that are mounted in a box located on the tractor. Electro-hydraulic operation is particularly an advantage when there is a lack of hy- draulic services on the tractor.
Mounting Mounting of the bearing protectors must be carried out while the AXR-H is in the un- folded position and is resting on the ground. Remove the bolts from one bearing at a time and mount the bearing protector, then continue on to the next bearing.
AXR-H Adjustment Down pressure of the F-iron cage roller must be adjusted according to depth and field conditions. Fig. 23 Move the pin (A) to adjust the pres- sure of the F-iron cage roller. The pressure of the cage roller must not be greater than necessary.
It is extremely dangerous to work or walk under the AXR-H when it is has been raised by the lift/lifted on the wheel frame unless the implement is securely sup- ported or held into position.
AXR-H AXR-H when it is raised on the wheel frame and/or has been raised by the lift, the AXR-H must be supported). 3. Remove the split cotter pin from the castle nut and unscrew the nut. The spac- ers, discs and bearings can then be pulled off the shaft. Be careful not to dam- age the screw thread on the shaft.

Fig. 28 1. Unhitch the AXR-H from the tractor and rest it on the support bar. 2. Remove the bolt (A) together with the washer, and then the axle (B) can be pulled out.
Remember to secure the bolt with Loctite. Replacing Packer Roller Arm Bushings The slack can be checked by raising the AXR-H on the wheel frame with the arms of the packer roller completely unfolded. Using your hands, grab onto the outside arm of the packer roller and move it back and forth.
1. Unfold the packer roller to the working position and lower the transport wheels until the wheels just barely carry the weight of AXR-H, but the T-rings are still resting on the ground. Support the main frame in this position.
It is recommended that a crane is available for the dismounting of the disc gangs. Fig.31 1. The AXR-H must be hitched to a tractor and unfolded, and it must be resting in a secure position on the ground. 2. Suspend the disc bars with two straps so that the disc gangs are hanging in balance.
Replacing Side Wing Folding Cylinders The AXR-H must be unfolded and lowered down so that the discs are resting on the ground. It is important to remove the pressure from the cylinders.
AXR-H Fig. 34 Cylinder 70/30-205 1. Empty the oil from the cylinder by moving the cylinder back and forth. 2. Move the piston to the middle position. Unscrew the gland (pos. 11) approxi- mately 25 mm out. (A special tool is needed to remove the gland). If the gland is stuck, it may help to warm up the very front of the socket.
After mounting the cylinder, carefully raise and lower the AXR-H several times to bleed air out of the system. Initially, the AXR-H must not be lifted higher than 10-20 cm from the ground.

AXR-H Scrapping The AXR-H must be unfolded and the side sections must be lowered with the packer roller resting securely on the ground. It is important to relieve the pressure in all of the cylinders. When dismounting/mounting components, always pay careful attention to the weight of the part that you are about to handle.
