MAXIROLL How to use this manual The sequence of subject matter in this manual can seem illogical. Please refer to the table of contents for page numbers for individual items. The manual is divided into 5 main sections: • Safety •...
MAXIROLL is an extra-heavy roller designed specifically for the mounting of extra equipment for soil preparation. Fig. 1 MAXIROLL 1030 and 1230 are 5-piece rollers with independent sections. Hy- draulic weight transfer and stone pro- tection is standard for both models.
MAXIROLL Connecting and disconnecting Connecting Fig.2 Connect roller to the tractor's fixed towbar, where drawbar (A) must fit between the towbar forks. Insert pin and remove leg. Remember to secure towbar pin with split pin or the like. Hydraulics MAXIROLL requires a standard double-acting hydraulic outlet with flow setting. One of the double-acting outlets is for unfolding the side sections and the other for rais- ing/lowering the roller.
MAXIROLL Setting up MAXIROLL is supplied with factory settings, but fine adjustment will always be re- quired before use. Numerous adjustment options make the roller more flexible and ensure maximum use. Adjusting drawbar height To achieve uniform field compression, the machine's drawbar must be horizontal in working position.
MAXIROLL Operation Correct operation is vital to get the best out of your MAXIROLL 1030 or 1230. This applies to field use and safety. Always ensure you are fully familiar with all safety aspects of the machine. Extending and folding up Extending and folding the machine up must always be performed with tractor parked.
MAXIROLL Fold up If there is a crackerboard fitted, check it is fully raised before starting folding (see "Accessories, Crackerboard, Operation") Fig. 6 1. Activate extend/retract cylinders (marked: Red) to lift end of side sections (A) a little. Fig. 7 2 Activate raise/lower cylinder...
MAXIROLL Adjustment of hydraulic weight transfer Hydraulic weight transfer distributes the weight evenly between all roller sections. 1. Once the roller is unfolded, relieve pressure in the extend/retract cylinders (marked: Red), and activate cylinder control handle in the opposite direc- tion.
MAXIROLL Operating speed An operating speed of 6-10 km/h is recommended, but always operate according to conditions. Increased speed will increase wear, particularly in dry conditions. The rings can al- so be damaged if operating at excessive speeds in unfavourable conditions. Adjustment of hydraulic suspension of pendulum frames Hydraulic weight transfer distributes the weight evenly between all roller sections.
MAXIROLL Excessive pressure 1 If the cylinder does not move, pressure is too great. This can cause exces- sive strain on the frames. 2 Reduce pressure until the cylinder moves again. Insufficient pressure 1 Pressure is too low if the cylinder cannot extend fully. (increase) 2 Adjust pressure until all 5 suspension cylinders extend.
MAXIROLL Troubleshooting Fault Cause Remedy • Insufficient pres- • Activate hydraulic control handle for Mid-section apply- ing too much pres- sure transferred extend/retract to increase pressure sure to side sections to side sections (see ”Operation”). • Drawbar too high • Adjust drawbar and mid-section (see ”Adjusting drawbar height”...
MAXIROLL Accessories MAXIROLL can be fitted with a range of accessories to suit requirements. • Crackerboard with curved wear parts. • Crackerboard with crust-breakers. • Rake. • Large wheels. Crackerboard The major benefit of the board is that the teeth can move individually, and flex when meeting local resistance.
MAXIROLL Hose markings Table 4. Hose markings Cylinder name Colour Outlet Function Depth adjustment Green Double acting Adjust crackerboard depth. Adjusting angle of teeth Fig. 14 Crackerboard depth is hydraulically adjustable. The angle of the teeth is adjusted manually on the spindles (A). To ensure uniform crackerboard angle setting, there are numbers on the sides of the spindles.
MAXIROLL Operation The crackerboard is a flexible unit with a range of uses. At depth setting of approx. 5cm, the vibrating effect of the teeth will crush clumps. Fig. 15 A deeper setting will increase the level- ling effect to that of a levelling board, as a small bank of soil builds up in front of the teeth.
MAXIROLL Fig. 17 3 Side sections mounted on flanges (B). 4 Fit hydraulic cylinders. 5 Fit hoses on cylinders. Fig. 18 6 Secure hoses in hose holders (C) and pass through holders on drawbar. . 7 Tighten all fittings securely. Connect board to tractor hy- draulics.
MAXIROLL 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. Lubrication Fig.
MAXIROLL Adjustment Adjustment of rollers After the first season, the rollers will have loosened on the shaft. Play can be elimi- nated by moving the stop rings on the shaft. Adjustment is easiest when MAXIROLL is folded together. Fig. 21 1 Slacken bolts (A) and push rollers together 2 Tighten and slacken stop ring bolts...
MAXIROLL Hydraulics Check all hydraulic hoses for wear or cracks. Check all hoses for crimping. Lubricate exposed rams with oil or pressure-resistant grease to avoid rust forming when storing for long periods. Remember to remove before use. Page 26...
MAXIROLL 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.
MAXIROLL Activate extend/retract cylinders after fitting until they show a little movement. Reverse cylinders until they return to start position. Move cylinders backwards and forward several times. Raise roller fully onto wheels, extend side sections fully to bleed system. Ensure no personnel are within the extension radius of the side sections. Replacing gaskets for side section fold/unfold Fig.
MAXIROLL Mounting 1. Fit new gaskets (pos. 5+6+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. 4.
MAXIROLL Replacing gaskets on raise/lower cylinder Fig. 26 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 gently.
MAXIROLL Replacing pendulum frame suspension cylinder Fig. 27 1. Extend roller resting on a level surface 2. Set tractor hydraulic control handle in flow setting. Set ma- nometer handle in flow setting. Pressure will flow back into the tractor. 3. Disconnect hoses from cylin- ders 4.

MAXIROLL Mounting 1 Fit new gaskets in upper part and collar shoe. 2 Lubricate thread in upper part (pos. 3) and cylinder tube (pos. 1) with grease or oil. 3 Fit upper part (pos. 3) on ram shaft. Fit collar shoe (pos. 4) and secure ram shaft (pos. 2) with Loctite. Ensure that thread is absolutely clean and free of oil or other impurities before applying Loctite.
MAXIROLL Fitting axles with roller rings 1. Position axles with roller rings and bearings corresponding to that when MAXIROLL is extended, resting on the ground. 2. Extend roller and carefully lower over the axles. 3. Fit bolts (A) Ensure no personnel are within the machine's extension radius when activating hydraulics.

MAXIROLL Tighten and slacken stop ring bolts a few times to ensure they bite into the axle When fitting axles with bearings, remember to ensure the bearing lubrication nip- ples face backwards. This gives easy access for lubrication and protects the nip- ples from stones.
MAXIROLL 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.
