  • Page 5: Safety

    FRONTFLEX in the three-point hitch of the tractor, with the FRONTFLEX resting securely on the ground. • FRONTFLEX must not be used as a transport vehicle, a pile driver or anything similar. • A higher level of noise is produced when driving on rocky soil or with worn roller rings.
  • Page 6: Application

    Crosskill rings are excellent for seedbed preparation, as they effectively crush clods and achieve a good crumb structure. FRONTFLEX is constructed to be drawn across the soil, even though it is mounted on the front. This specially designed mounting system provides better manoeuvrability and allows minor steering corrections during operation without having to raise the implement.
  • Page 7: Hitching And Unhitching

    Mount the lift arms into the hitch points (A, Fig. 1). Next, install the top link. Adjust the top link so that the main frame of the FRONTFLEX is in a horizontal position and parallel to the ground. Raise the implement, allowing the parking stands (front and rear) to clear the ground and placing the implement in an operating position.
  • Page 8: Unhitching

    FRONTFLEX Fig. 2 Insert the bolts (A) with the FRONTFLEX resting on the ground. It is easiest to insert the bolts with the front linkage raised slightly upwards and the tubes (B) parallel. Tighten the bolts until there is no space between the main frame and the linkage.
  • Page 9: Handling Without Use Of The Three-Point Hitch

    FRONTFLEX Handling without use of the three-point hitch If you need to move the FRONTFLEX other than by use of the three-point hitch, we recommend lifting it with straps in the main frame or in the linkage so that the FRONTFLEX hangs in balance.
  • Page 10: Adjustments And Settings

    FRONTFLEX Adjustments and Settings There are no adjustments to be made on the FRONTFLEX except for any adjustments necessary during regular maintenance. Operation of FRONTFLEX requires no hydraulic outlets on the tractor. The FRONTFLEX does not have any special transport position.
  • Page 11: Operating And Driving Instructions

    FRONTFLEX Operating and Driving Instructions The FRONTFLEX is constructed so that the implement’s centre of gravity is close to the tractor, reducing the weight of the implement on the tractor as much as possible and easing operation. Even when the FRONTFLEX is mounted in the front lift, the implement is drawn across the field, making it easier to pass over minor obstacles.
  • Page 12: Maintenance

    FRONTFLEX Maintenance Proper maintenance ensures a long lifetime for the FRONTFLEX and also optimum performance from the implement. To facilitate maintenance, grease fittings (A) have been mounted on those locations where wear on the equipment is the great- est. Fig. 6...
  • Page 13: Backlash In The Rings

    FRONTFLEX Backlash in the rings Due to normal tolerances of the castings, washers may have been added between the bearings and the roller rings and also between the lock washer (A) at the end of the shaft and the outermost ring (Fig. 7). To reduce and minimize backlash, insert a washer of suitable size between the ring and the lock washer (see page 18 ”Replac-...

    FRONTFLEX Options Crackerboard The Crackerboard is mounted in front of the packer roller rings and can be set to per- form tillage actions of crumbling, levelling and packing as needed. Only the 150 and 300 cm models can be equipped with a Crackerboard.
  • Page 15 (fig. 5, B) are tight. The FRONTFLEX will tilt as the rigidly mounted point in the front is raised. You will still be able to achieve the same packing action after carrying out this adjustment, as no significant weight will be removed from the FRONTFLEX.
  • Page 16: Power Requirements

    Adjust the angle of the tines by loosening the plates (A). Fig. 11 1. Lower the FRONTFLEX to the ground or block it securely. 2. Loosen the bolts (B, Fig. 11). Check that the lower bolt on which the plates rotate is loose.
  • Page 17: Maintenance

    FRONTFLEX Fig. 12 1. Mount the telescoping brackets (A) behind the front tube of the main frame. Mount the middle telescoping piece halfway between the spacing piece and the towing eye (B). 2. Attach the mounting plates (C) to the threaded spindle shafts. Fasten the nuts.
  • Page 18 FRONTFLEX When driving on public roads, indicator lights must be mounted. All Crackerboard models are equipped with a specially designed bracket for mounting indicator lights (Fig. 15, A). Fig. 15 The use of indicator lights requires a 7-pole female socket (farm trailer socket) on the tractor in connection with the front lift.
  • Page 19: Repairs

     It is strictly forbidden to allow anyone to be underneath FRONTFLEX unless the im- plement is securely blocked. Serious injury or death could result. If the FRONTFLEX is hitched to the tractor, it is important to set the tractor brakes.
  • Page 20: Replacing Crackerboard Tine Points

    Replacing Crackerboard tine points Replace tine points before the tines themselves become worn. 1. The FRONTFLEX must be in a lowered position, resting securely on the ground. 2. Remove the bolts fastening the points to the tines and mount new points.
  • Page 21: Replacing Spindles On The Crackerboard

    FRONTFLEX Fig. 20 Replacing spindles on the Crackerboard Lower the FRONTFLEX to the ground and make sure that there is no danger of per- sonal injury. 1. Securely block the Crackerboard. 2. Remove the bolts (A). 3. Install a new spindle.
  • Page 22: Scrapping

    FRONTFLEX Scrapping Remove the shaft with the rings (see section ”Repairs” under “Replacing bear- ings/shaft/rings”. The rings are made of cast iron and the tines are made of hardened steel. All iron used in the machine is recyclable. Side 22...
