  • Page 11: Mounting

    MINIMAX • For hydraulic systems with built-in pilot-controlled non-return valves, it can be difficult to completely remove the pressure. You should hold a cloth around the fitting/part that is being removed to catch any oil that may leak. • After repairs on the hydraulic system have been completed, all air must be completely removed from the system.

    MINIMAX Connecting and disconnecting Connecting Fig. 3 The drum is connected to the tractor's fixed drawbar, where the towing eye (A) must be between the drawbar's forks. The lever is inserted, the sup- port leg raised and placed in the working position (B) ...
  • Page 17: Settings

    MINIMAX Settings The drum is factory set at delivery, but fine tuning will always be necessary before use. Many different adjustment options make your drums more ver- satile and allow the potential to gain optimal use of the machine. In order to achieve uniform pressure on the ground, the bar must be adjust- ed correctly for the tractor concerned.
  • Page 18: Adjustment Of Central Section

    MINIMAX Adjustment of Central Section Fig. 6 With the MINIMAX unfolded (see “Driving and operating”) check if the bolts (A) have approx. 10 mm air to the pipe (B). The central section must be hori- zontal to achieve the best result in the field.
  • Page 19: Driving And Operating

    MINIMAX Driving and operating Proper operation is important in order to get optimal performance from your drum. This applies not only to working in the field but also in terms of safety. It is therefore crucial that you have thoroughly read the safety precautions that cover the machine.

    MINIMAX Folding Fig. 11 1. The unfolded and folded cylin- ders (marked: Red) are acti- vated, so that the outside of the side sections (A) are lifted as much as possible. Fig. 12 2. The tilt cylinders (marked: White) are activated to full length and the drum is tilted free of the ground Fig.
  • Page 21: Adjustments Of Hydraulic Weight Transfer

    MINIMAX Adjustments of hydraulic weight transfer The hydraulic weight transfer distributes the weight evenly on the drum sec- tions. 1. After the drum is unfolded, pressure is taken out of the unfolded and folded cylinders (marked: Red), after which the cylinders' control lev- er is activated in the opposite direction.
  • Page 22: Driving Speed

    MINIMAX  Failure to put the machine in float position is considered improper use and could, in a worst case scenario, cause a break in the frame. Driving speed It is recommended that the machine be driven at 6-10 km/h, but driving should always be done according to conditions.

  • Page 28: Maintenance

    MINIMAX Maintenance Good maintenance ensures a long life for the drum and therefore optimal use of the machine. Which is why grease fittings have been installed in plac- es where wear is greatest.  All screw connections must be tightened after the first day of work. Cotter pins and bolts should be checked to avoid breakdowns.
  • Page 29: Adjustments

    By moving the stop rings on the shaft, the fittings can be clamped together to re- move any dirt and wear can be minimised. Adjustment of fittings is best done with the MINIMAX 950 folded. Fig. 23 1 The bolts (A) are loosened and...
  • Page 30: Worn Out Parts

    MINIMAX Worn out parts Fig. 24 The slides are factory-fitted in the upper holes on the tooth. The slides must be moved to the lower holes (A) before wear starts to appear on the teeth. After the slides are worn out. Positioned in the lower holes, replace the slides so that no wear occurs on the crackerboard.
  • Page 31: Replacement And Repairs

    MINIMAX Replacement and repairs  Safety is crucial in regard to all repair work on the drum. The following points must therefore be observed at all times, as well as the points under safety at the beginning of the instruction manual. When replacing cylinders, always fill the cylinder with oil before subjecting it ...

The wheel nuts are removed and the wheel can be replaced. After mounting the new wheel, screw the nuts on and tighten with a “firm hand”.
  • Page 39: Dismantling The Drum Body

    MINIMAX Dismantling the drum body The repair is performed on a flat surface with the drum connected to a trac- tor and unfolded with the rings resting on the ground. It would be a great help to have a crane or something similar available for both the dismantling and assembly.

    MINIMAX Disposal The drum must be unfolded. It is crucial that the pressure is released from all the cylinders. When dismantling/assembling, attention should be directed towards the weight on the part in question. It is therefore important that this part be supported or lifted up, so there is no risk of collapse or overturning.
