POWERCHAIN 800 Einbock seeders can be mounted on the disc harrow as additional equipment for the establishment of catch crops, for example. The seeds are spread out between the first and second row of discs for optimal soil contact and germination.
POWERCHAIN Connecting and disconnecting Connecting Fig. 6 The disc harrow is connected to the tractor’s lift arm, where the tow point (A) must be in the hook of the lift arm. The lift arm balls are secured with a bolt and claw, after which the supporting leg (B) is raised and placed in the working position (C).
POWERCHAIN Settings The disc harrow is factory set at delivery, but fine-tuning will always be necessary before use. Many different adjustment options make your disc harrow more versatile and enable optimal use of the machine. Adjusting the tow height of the lift arms To achieve a uniform tilling of the field across the entire working width of the tool, the tractor’s lifting arm must be set in such a way that the disc harrow’s frame is in a horizontal position in the direction of travel when the...
POWERCHAIN Horizontal setting across the direction of travel is achieved by adjusting the height at points (A) and (B) fig. 8 above. The height adjustment at the points (A) is made via spindles on the disc harrow’s support wheels at the end of each side, and is set in such a way that the discs work at the end of each side to the desired depth.

POWERCHAIN raised area behind the centre of the disc harrow then raise up the threaded rods at the front (A) or lower the threaded rods at the back (B). The setting depends upon soil type, planting depth, the moisture of the soil, and the forward speed.
POWERCHAIN Driving and operation Proper operation is important in order to get optimal performance from your disc harrow. This applies to both work in the field and in terms of safety. It is therefore crucial that you have thoroughly read the safety precautions that cover the machine.

POWERCHAIN Driving speed It is recommended that the machine is driven at 10-12 km/h, and always in compliance with weather conditions. If speed is increased, wear will also increase, especially under dry conditions. There is also a risk of damaging the worn parts by driving at excessively high speeds under adverse conditions.

POWERCHAIN Optional equipment It is possible to equip the POWERCHAIN with different types of extra equipment. • Einböck seed drill • Additional weight • Air brakes • Hydraulic brakes • Swivel support wheels Einböck seed drill The Einböck seed drill is designed for establishing combined and catch crops after harvesting as well as crops such as rapeseed and grass seeds.
POWERCHAIN By reducing the forward speed during sewing, the most uniform distribution of the sown seeds is achieved, as the row of discs at the very back does not toss as many seeds and soil to the sides. Hose labels Table 6.
POWERCHAIN Additional weight on the discs Retro-fitting For dry and extra-hard conditions, it can help to mount up to 3 weights of 2.4 kg per disc. This will increase the total weight of the disc harrow by up to 120 kg/metre working width.
POWERCHAIN Choice of brake system When the machine’s axle load exceeds 3.5 tonnes (see table 1), the disc harrow must be equipped with either a pneumatic or hydraulic fan. This legislation is applicable in all EU countries. The type of brake is selected based on the tractor that is used to drive the disc harrow and when ordering the disc harrow.
POWERCHAIN Maintenance Good maintenance ensures a long life for the disc harrow and therefore optimal use of the machine. Therefore, grease nipples are fitted in places where the wear is greatest. All screw connections must be tightened after the first day of work. Split pins and bolts should be checked to avoid breakdowns.

POWERCHAIN Chain at the front Fig. 22 Chain at the back As a general rule, there is no need to adjust or remove a chain link as long as some of the piston rod (A) fig. 20-21 is visible and 180 Bar is showing on the manometer. If, on the other hand, there is none of the piston rod (A) fig.
POWERCHAIN Dismantling the chain link Dismantling of disc chains and thus also individual chain links must be done to unfolded machinery, with all discs resting on the ground and 0 Bar on the manometer. Always carry this out at the end where the tightening cylinder (1) fig. 22 is mounted.
POWERCHAIN Tyre pressure In the tables below you can see the load, speed, and tyre pressure relative to each other for the different tyre combinations. When working in the field, it is recommended that the tyre pressure on the transport wheels 520/50-17 is decreased to 1.8 Bar, to prevent the disc harrow from starting to jump.
POWERCHAIN Hydraulics All hydraulic hoses must be checked for wear or damage. Ensure the hoses are not subjected to any crushing. For long-term parking, protruding piston rods should be lubricated with oil or pressure grease, thus avoiding rust on the piston rods. Remember to remove it again before use.
POWERCHAIN Replacements and repairs Safety is important in connection with all repair work on the disc harrow. Therefore, the following points must always be observed as well as the points under safety first in the instruction manual. When replacing cylinders, the cylinder must always be filled with oil before it is subjected to load.
POWERCHAIN Individuals must not be present within the action radius of the implement. Replacement of the gaskets Fig. 25 A - A 1. The cylinder is emptied of oil by carefully moving the piston back and forth. 2. Move the piston to the middle position, then unscrew the upper cap (pos.
POWERCHAIN Changing the wheel frame cylinder Fig. 26 The disc harrow is folded out and lowered down onto an appropriate support (A) on either side of the machine, as shown in fig. 24. The wheels are then lifted away from the supporting surface and re-lowered until they are resting on the ground.
POWERCHAIN Replacing the set of gaskets in the wheel frame cylinder DISMANTLING: 1. Empty the cylinder of oil, (if necessary, use compressed air to move the piston back and forth to push the oil out). 2. Drive the piston to the centre position. The cap (pos. 3) is unscrewed 30 mm.
POWERCHAIN Changing the cylinder for tightening the disc chain Fig. 28 1. The disc harrow is folded out with the disc chains resting on the ground. 2. Check that the pressure has gone from the manometer so that cylinder depressurised. 3.
POWERCHAIN 11. The sleeve (pos. 4) is removed from the piston rod (pos. 2). 12. The cap (pos. 3) is pulled off the piston rod (pos. 2). 13. Remove the gaskets in the upper cap (pos. 5+6+7+8+9) and the sleeve. 14.
POWERCHAIN The wheel nuts are removed and the wheel can be replaced. After fitting the new wheel, screw the nuts on and tighten with a “firm hand”. Next, lower the wheels so that they are touching the ground and tighten the nuts to 300 Nm.
POWERCHAIN Re-tighten the wheels after 1-2 hours of use. Replacing the bearings Fig. 32 1. Remove hub cap pos. 21 FL55-6 2. Remove split pins pos. 20 3. Remove castellated nut pos. 19 4. You can now knock out axle pos.
POWERCHAIN Disposal The disc harrow must be unfolded. It is crucial to release the pressure from all the cylinders. With disassembly/dismounting, attention should be directed towards the weight of the part in question. It is therefore important that this part be supported or lifted, to avoid the risk of collapse or overturning.
