  • Page 5: Use In Farming

    Do not use LEVELFLEX as a container, pile driver, hydraulic press or the like. If you have any questions concerning the use of the implement, feel free to contact your Dalbo distributor.  During operation in stony soil and with worn drum rings, noise might occur. Use a hearing protector if necessary.
  • Page 6: Coupling And Uncoupling

    LEVELFLEX Coupling and uncoupling The front hanger is manufactured in accordance with the DS/ISO 730-1 category II. If your tractor is not suitable for this type, please contact your distributor. The arms of the front lift must be able to move sideways. Coupling First install the arms of the lift with the lift taps and hereafter install the top link.
  • Page 7: Uncoupling

    LEVELFLEX Uncoupling Uncoupling must be done in reverse order than that of coupling. Remember to de- pressurise the cylinders before the hydraulic tubes are detached. It is important that the LEVELFLEX is secured with rear (A) and front (B) support legs, as this will prevent the machine from tipping over.
  • Page 8: Operation

    LEVELFLEX Operation There are no specific transport position for the solid types (A), whereas the hydrau- lic types (B) must be secured with a lock during transport. Plate 3 Transport lock  On the hydraulic types, where the side sections can be raised, the sections must be secured during transport which will be done automatically when the side sec- tions are raised to top position.
  • Page 9: Adjustment

    LEVELFLEX Adjustment On the LEVELFLEX 2009 hydraulic type (plate 3,b), the side section must be ad- justed with the bolts (A), so the frames on the side sections and the frame head hang on a line (there is an adjustment bolt in each side of the frame head). Plate 5 On the LEVELFLEX solid type there are no possibilities of adjustment except the ad- justments, which must be made during regular maintenance.
  • Page 10: Running

    LEVELFLEX Running LEVELFLEX is constructed so that the implement’s centre of gravity is placed close to the tractor. The result is that the implement’s weight on the tractor is reduced and at the same time the implement will be easier to run. The implement is drawn across the field, although it is mounted in the front lift, which makes it easier to run over smaller hindrances.
  • Page 11: Operating Speed

    LEVELFLEX Operating Speed The recommended operating speed depends on the packer rings, where the Crosskillrings stand the maximum speed. To make the best possible use of the soil packer rings, use them for intractable clayey soil or on newly ploughed soil, which is not packed.
  • Page 12: Maintenance

    LEVELFLEX Maintenance A good maintenance secures a long life of the LEVELFLEX 2000 and thereby also a full benefit of the machine. Therefore, lubricator nipples (A) have been placed on the spots where hard wear takes place. Plate 8 Grease points (amount of nipples) Solid model Hydraulic model The ball bearings near the rings are to be lubricated every 50th working hour.
  • Page 13: Backlash In The Rings

    LEVELFLEX After parking in moist conditions over a longer period, the piston rods should be lu- bricated in oil to avoid rusting. Backlash in the rings In some cases due to normal tolerances of the castings washers might be placed between the bearings and the rings and also between the lock washer (A) of the shaft end and the outer ring.
  • Page 14: Optional Equipment

    LEVELFLEX Optional equipment Crackerboard The crackerboard is mounted in front of the packer rings and is able to make a pro- cessing of the soil in form of a leveling and compression dependent on how it is ad- justed. The crackerboard makes an excellent processing both for rough plowing as well as after a preceding cultivation of the soil, as the crackerboard both levels and crushes clods.
  • Page 15: Adjustment

    LEVELFLEX Adjustment The angle of the tines can be adjusted manually by use of spindles (A) plate 11. The set angle will be retained independent of the depth as the tines are mounted in a parallelogram. Plate 11 Passively adjusted tine Aggressively adjusted tine The angle of the tine is important for whichever work one wants to have done.

    LEVELFLEX Plate 13 Stiff type Hyd. type Maintenance Tighten up all screw joints after the first working day. It is important that the bolts which the crackerboard is hinged around (A) plate 14 as well as the maintaining hinges are adequately tightened, so the crackerboard can move freely (self- tightening screw nuts are used).
  • Page 17: Repair

    LEVELFLEX REPAIR  All repair and maintenance of the LEVELFLEX must be carried out while the packer is securely placed on the ground and thus rests safely on the base.  It is extremely dangerous to stay underneath the LEVELFLEX before the implement is supported properly.
  • Page 18: Solid Model W. 80 And 90 Cm Rings

    LEVELFLEX Solid model w. 80 and 90 cm rings 1. The packer frame is supported so the rings only just lean against the base. Plate 16 2. Remove the locking bolts and the washer (A) so the rings outside the bearings can be pulled off the shaft.
  • Page 19: Hyd. Model W. 80 Cm Rings

    LEVELFLEX Notice the rotational direction of the drum rings. Alternation occurs between the small and the large rings, where a washer closest to the bearings is followed by a small ring. Remember the bushings underneath the large rings (see also the intro- duction to the chapter on ‘Repair’).

    LEVELFLEX 6. The bearing plates with bearings can be pulled off the shaft and new bearings, shaft or rings can be mounted. 7. Put together in reverse order. The locking bolts and the pointed screws must be secured with Locktite. 8.

    LEVELFLEX Plate 22 1. Remove the tubes. (To avoid pollution of the ground during repair, it is recom- mended to pick up the oil in a tray). 2. Remove split pins and rivets, so the cylinder is free. 3. Mounting of a new cylinder must be done in reverse order. Remember to make sure that the spike is in mesh with the spike stop and secure the spikes with the split pins.

    LEVELFLEX 4. Slide the piston into a middle position and then unscrew the top piece (plate 11) approx. 25 mm (a special tool is needed to remove the top piece. If the top piece is very tight try heating up the front part of the socket. When the top piece is unscrewed 25mm, pull out the piston towards the top piece so the top piece can be unscrewed completely, where after the piston rod (pos.

    LEVELFLEX 7. Mounting of a new cylinder is to be done in reverse order. Use self-tightening nuts and avoid tightening them too much, because the cylinder eye must be able to turn around freely in the fork for the meshing of the crackerboard. 8.
  • Page 24 LEVELFLEX 4. Mount the sleeve shoe (pos. 2) and then screw on the locking nut and lock it with Loctite. Make sure that the thread is completely clean and free of oil and dirt before using Loctite. After using Loctite do not fill with oil before 12 hours hereafter.
  • Page 25: Scrapping

    LEVELFLEX Scrapping The first step of the scrapping is to remove the hydraulic tubes and pick up the oil. Drain the cylinders of oil, where after the oil and the tubes should be sent to de- struction. If necessary, dismantle the LEVELFLEX to make it easier to handle. The shaft with the rings is removed as described in the first part of the instruction ‘Replacement of bearings, shafts and rings’.
