• Ensure there are no personnel within the machine's working radius before op- erating. Operate machine only from inside the tractor. • When retracting MAXICUT, ensure that the side sections are locked using the chain provided before leaving the field. Check all control handles are secured against accidental operation.
MAXICUT Hydraulics • Lower machine fully for any repair work on the hydraulic system. Relieve hy- draulic pressure, switch engine off and remove ignition key. • Clean hydraulic connections thoroughly before reconnecting. When connecting hydraulic hoses to tractor hydraulics, ensure they are not under pressure.
• MAXICUT may only be used, maintained or repaired by personnel familiar with it and who are aware of the risks that can be involved. • The manufacturer cannot be held liable for injury or damage arising from modi- fications made to the machine performed without prior permission from the manufacturer.

Heavy-duty bearings are standard. MAXICUT 600 at work MAXICUT is used after harvesting on crops such as maize, sunflower or rape, when the total weight of the machine and ground conditions are optimum. When the roll- ers are filled with water and the ground is as dry as possible, the machine is at its most effective.
Remember to secure drawbar with balls and split pins. Hydraulics MAXICUT requires a double-acting hydraulic outlet, in which one line is used for lowering the side sections and other for towing the frame to transport the roller from field to field.

MAXICUT Remember to depressurise hoses before disconnecting them. MAXICUT must be in transport or working position when disconnecting. Side 14...
MAXICUT Setting up MAXICUT is very simple to work with. The design makes it very simple to set up, alt- hough the main frame must be horizontal. Always check frame angle before use to ensure optimum use of the machine.
3 Raise wheel frame (marked: yel- low) Before commencing rolling, drawbar must be horizontal. When driving with MAXICUT 200/300 lift must always be in a floating position when the machine is in working position. By turning with the machine on the headland, the machine has to be lifted up on the wheel frame to make sure, that the frames will not be overloaded.
MAXICUT Retract Lower wheel frame and raise roller clear of ground. Retract side sections, fit transport chain. Operating speed An operating speed of 18-25 km/h is recommended, but always operate according to conditions. Increased speed will increase wear, particularly in dry conditions. There will also be a risk of the roller throwing up soil and stones.
MAXICUT Troubleshooting Fault Cause Remedy • Drawbar too high • Adjust drawbar to horizontal (see "Adjusting drawbar") Mid-section apply- • Too much water • Adjust volume of water to the same ing too much pres- in all three rollers sure •...
MAXICUT Maintenance Good maintenance ensures long service life and optimum use. Grease nipples are fitted where wear is heaviest. Tighten all screw connections after first working day. Check all split pins and bolts to avoid mechanical failure. Check hydraulic system for leaks.
MAXICUT Adjustment Wheels Lubricate and adjust wheel bearings at least once annually. Check tyre pressures (see recommended pressure on tyre). Adjustment and lubrication of wheel bearings 1. Remove hub caps. 2. Remove split pin. 3. Tighten castle nut 1/6th of a turn until hole aligns with axle. Turn wheel, check for resistance.
MAXICUT Replacement andrepairs Safety is vital for all repair work on the roller. Always observe the following points, plus those under Safety First in the instruction manual. All maintenance and repair work can only be performed when the machine is low- ered to the ground or locked in transport position, tractor is braked, engine stopped and ignition key removed to prevent accidental start.
MAXICUT Activate cylinders after assembly. Activate cylinders both ways, retract- ing/extending fully in both outer positions. This is necessary to bleed the system and cylinder. Ensure no personnel are within the extension radius of the side sections. Replacing gasket set for extend/retract cylinder Fig.
MAXICUT Mounting 1. Fit new gaskets (pos. 2+4+7+8+9) in upper part and collar shoe. Remember to check gaskets are facing the right way. 2. Lubricate thread in upper part (pos. 3) with oil. 3. Fit upper part (pos. 3) on ram shaft.
MAXICUT Replacing gaskets on raise/lower cylinder Fig. 11 1. Drain oil from cylinder by moving ram carefully backwards and forwards. 2. Extend ram to centre position. Unscrew upper part (pos. 3) from cylinder tube (pos. 1). Use special tool to remove upper part. If upper part is stuck, heat front of upper part.
MAXICUT Removal/fitting wheel Raise wheel frame before removing wheel. Wheels will then be raised free of ground. Remove wheel nuts. Remove wheel. Replace wheel, hand-tighten wheel nuts. Lower wheels to ground. Tighten wheel nuts to 300 Nm. Ensure wheel nuts and wheel surfaces are clean to avoid nuts loosening.
MAXICUT Removing blade roller Repairs must be performed with the roller connected to a tractor, resting on a level surface, fully extended with the 3 rollers resting on the ground. A crane or similar is recommended for removal and replacement procedures.
MAXICUT Replacing blades If no crane is available, remove both side section axles to prevent roller tipping over. Fig. 14 1. Extend machine to working posi- tion. 2. Remove any soil (A) between blades. 3. Remove protective plate between blades to reach blade bolts.
MAXICUT Scrapping Fully extend roller. It is essential that all cylinders are removed. Beware of the weight of any given part when removing or disassembling. All parts must be supported or lifted to avoid danger of falling. Disconnect hydraulic hoses and cylinders and drain oil. Collect oil in container to avoid pollution.
