MAXIDISC Safety The safety alert symbol is used throughout this manual to identify important safe- ty warning messages concerning your safety, the safety of other users or the func- tional safety of the implement. Observe all safety instructions and make them readily accessible to all users of the equipment.
MAXIDISC Hydraulic System • Never allow bystanders within the operating radius of the MAXIDISC when the hydraulic system is activated to avoid the danger of an individual being crushed or pinched between the equipment. • Before performing maintenance or repairs on the hydraulic system, lower the implement to the ground, relieve pressure in the system, turn off the engine and remove the ignition key.
MAXIDISC • Dispose of oil, grease and filters according to applicable environmental regula- tions. Transport • All safety and warning signs and devices required by law must be displayed, mounted and tested for public road use. The driver is responsible for the cor- rect use of lights and markings in compliance with the present Traffic Act and Highway Code of the local traffic legislation.
MAXIDISC How to Use This Manual If the order of points described under the main subject areas of the manual seems confusing or illogical, refer to the Table of Contents where all subject headings can be found. The main points of the operator’s manual are placed into five main categories: •...
MAXIDISC Application MAXIDISC represents a whole new generation of lift-mounted disc harrows provid- ing the ultimate in compactness. The MAXIDISC is specially designed for work in the uppermost soil layer where resi- due management is concentrated. The MAXIDISC effectively performs full cutting penetration of the field and uniform mixing and blending of plant residue and soil microorganisms in just one pass.
MAXIDISC Hitching and Unhitching Hitching Fig. 2 Attach the lift arms first and then the top link. Adjust the top link so that the frame is horizontal. • Remember to secure with lynch pins. Hydraulic System The MAXIDISC requires one double-acting hydraulic outlet. Table 1.
MAXIDISC Adjustments and Settings The MAXIDISC is preset in the factory, but it will always be necessary to make some fine adjustments before use. Numerous adjustment possibilities make your MAXI- DISC more versatile and allow you to obtain optimum performance from the imple- ment.
MAXIDISC Disc scrapers Fig. 5 Adjust the disc scrapers, allowing only 3 to 5 mm of space between each disc and scraper. Side discs Fig. 6 A disc mounted on the outside edge of the MAXIDISC limits the amount of soil being cast out by the disc in the very front.
MAXIDISC Operating and Driving Instructions Proper operation is essential for optimum performance of your MAXIDISC. Proper operation concerns both the carrying out of tillage operations in the field as well as the following of safety precautions. Make sure that you have a thorough under- standing of all safety precautions.
MAXIDISC Troubleshooting Problem Cause Action • MAXIDISC is not • Adjust the top link until the main Soil is thrown too far out to the sides, horizontal. frame is horizontal. creating a ridge. • The travel speed • Drive slower. is too fast.
MAXIDISC Maintenance Proper maintenance ensures a long life for the MAXIDISC and also optimum perfor- mance 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 as- semblies after the first workday.
MAXIDISC Hydraulic System Inspect all hydraulic hoses for chafing or leaks. Check hoses for pinching. To avoid rust, any projecting piston rods should be coated with oil or grease if the MAXIDISC is to be parked for a long period of time. Remember to remove the oil or grease prior to operation.
MAXIDISC Replacements and Repairs Safety is important in connection with all repair work on the MAXI- DISC. The following safety precautions and the precautions listed in the beginning of this manual must be observed. Before performing any adjustments, maintenance or repairs on the machinery, always unfold the MAXIDISC and lower the im- plement to the ground or secure in transport position, set the tractor brakes, turn off the engine and remove the ignition key...
MAXIDISC Replacing angle adjustment seals Fig. 10 Cylinder 50/30-150 1 Empty the oil from the cylinder by carefully moving the cylinder back and forth. 2 Move the piston to the middle position. Unscrew the gland (pos. 3) from the cylinder casing (pos. 1). (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.
MAXIDISC Replacing shaft, bearings and T-rings Lower the MAXIDISC to the ground. Securely support and block the roller if neces- sary. Watch out for unintentional rolling movement when the bolts in the bearings have been removed. Fig. 11 1 Remove the bolts in the bear- ings.

MAXIDISC Scrapping Relieve the pressure in the hydraulic system. When dismounting/mounting components, always pay atten- tion to the weight of the part that you are about to handle. It is important to support or secure the part so that it cannot fall. Dismount all hydraulic hoses and cylinders and empty the oil.
