  • Page 8: Hydraulics

    MAXICUT Hydraulics  Prior to any repair work on the hydraulics unit, the machine's undercarriage must be lowered, the pressure must be removed from the unit, the engine must be switched off and the ignition key must be removed.  Hydraulic connections must be cleaned thoroughly before connecting.
  • Page 9: Correct Use

    MAXICUT  Out of a regard for the dimensions of the machinery, the driver must enquire with the traffic authorities to ensure that it may be transported on public roads.  When transporting the machine, care must be taken not to exceed the total weight and axle load of the tractor and that the load on the front axle is not less than 20 percent of the tractor's overall weight.

    MAXICUT How to read the instruction manual It is possible that the order in which the topics are listed does not appear as logical. Please refer to the table of contents, where the titles for the relevant topics can be found.
  • Page 12: Description Of The Machine

    MAXICUT Description of the machine MAXICUT is a powerful knife-drum, designed specifically to drive through crops with long, strong stems. Here the remaining organic residue is cut so that the decay starts faster. The drums are formed as watertight containers, which can be filled with water as needed to increase the machine's weight.
  • Page 13: Limitations In The Use Of The Machine

    MAXICUT Limitations in the use of the machine The following describes what the machine may/must not be used for:  The machine may only be used for tilling organic plant material in agricultural areas that have been cultivated. Those areas to be tilled must have been subject to normal agricultural maintenance, i.e.
  • Page 14: Connecting And Disconnecting

    MAXICUT Connecting and disconnecting Connecting Fig.2 MAXICUT is connected to the tractor's lift arms and is secured with ball joints and splitters (A) Remember to secure the connection with ball joints and linchpins. Hydraulics As a standard, MAXICUT 400 requires a double-acting hydraulic cylinder, which is then put on a forklift, to transport the machine form one field to another.
  • Page 15 MAXICUT The drawbar is released from the tractor and the hydraulic hoses are mounted. Remember to release the pressure from the connecting hoses to the hydraulic system before disconnecting the hoses. MAXICUT can be in transport mode or unfolded when disconnected. Page 15...
  • Page 16: Settings

    MAXICUT Settings MAXICUT is incredibly easy to work with. The machine's design makes it very easy to set. It is always necessary to check the ramp slope before use to ensure optimum utilization of the machine. Tensile adjustment To obtain a uniform cut across the crops, the knife drums move horizontally, while the side frames move with respect to the ground slope.

  • Page 18: Driving And Operating

    MAXICUT Driving and operating Proper operation is important in order to get optimal performance from your MAXICUT. 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. Unfolding and folding Unfolding and folding are conducted with the tractor in park.
  • Page 19: Folding

    MAXICUT Fig. 5 Fig. 6 5. The wheel frame is tilted up in the air. Fig. 7 Before the tumbling is initiated, the pull must be horizontal. When turning the machine on the headland, the machine must be lifted up onto the wheel frame to avoid unnecessary twisting in the machine's frame construction.
  • Page 20: Driving Speed

    MAXICUT Driving speed It is recommended that the machine be driven at 18-25 km/h, but driving should always be done according to conditions. If the speed is increased, wear will also increase, especially under dry conditions. At the same time, there is a danger that the knife drum will start throwing soil material and rocks.

    MAXICUT Troubleshooting Problem Cause Remedy  The pull is too weak  Align horizontal pull (see "Tensile Alignment")  Too much water  Divide the water equally between The right side is pulling too much each of the 2 water containers ...
  • Page 22: Maintenance

    MAXICUT Maintenance Good maintenance ensures a long life for the MAXICUT and therefore optimal use of the machine. Grease fittings have therefore been mounted in places 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 23: Adjustments

    MAXICUT Adjustments Wheels The wheel bearing must be lubricated and adjusted once a year. Also make sure you have the correct tyre pressure (see tyres). Adjustments of lubrication and wheel bearings Hub cap is removed. The cotter is removed. The castellated nut is tightened with a 1/6 turn, so that the hole is aligned with the shaft.
  • Page 24: Replacements And Repairs

    MAXICUT Replacements and repairs Safety is crucial regarding all repair work on MAXICUT. The following items must therefore be observed at all times, as well as the items under safety at the beginning of the instruction manual. Any maintenance and repair work on MAXICUT must only be carried out when the machine is lowered to the ground or is set in transport mode, the break on the tractor is applied, the engine is switched off and the ignition key is removed, so that the machine cannot move or start accidentally.

  • Page 27: Removal Of The Cutter Drum

    MAXICUT Removal of the cutter drum The repair is performed on a flat surface with MAXICUT connected to a tractor and unfolded with both 2 knife drums resting on the ground. It would be a great help to have a crane or something similar available for both the de- and installation. Replacing the bearings on the cutter drum If no crane is available, both axles on the side sections must be removed to prevent the drum overturning.
  • Page 28: Replacement Of The Cotter

    MAXICUT Replacement of the cotter If no crane is available, both axles on the side sections must be removed to prevent the drum overturning. Fig. 14 The machine is folded out in work position. Soil remains (A) in between the cotter blades must be cleaned/removed.
  • Page 29: Disposal

    MAXICUT Disposal MAXICUT must be unfolded. It is crucial to release the pressure from all the cylinders. When mounting/dismounting, attention should be directed towards the weight on the part in question. It is therefore important that this part is supported or lifted up, so there is no risk of crashing/rolling over.
