FRONTFLEX Safety Before starting and using the machine on the tractor, the dealer must set the hydraulic valves for the transport lock. The indicative setting is shown on page 26 but it may vary for each tractor. You will find this symbol throughout these operating instructions wherever you are being advised on your safety, the safety of other users or the functional safety of the machine.
FRONTFLEX • Hydraulic connections must be carefully cleaned before connecting. When connecting the hydraulic hoses to the tractor unit's hydraulic system, ensure that the hydraulic pressure is released. • After repair work, bleed the hydraulic system thoroughly. • Check hydraulic hoses regularly for defects such as cracks, slits, wear and tear or break- age.
FRONTFLEX Correct use • Correct use of the machine includes compliance with the manufacturer's operating-, maintenance- and repair instructions, as well as the exclusive use of original spare parts. • The FRONTFLEX may only be used, maintained and repaired by people who are familiar with the machine and who are aware of the potential hazards.
FRONTFLEX How to Read the Manual It may be the case that the order of the elements described does not appear to be logical. Please, therefore, refer to the Table of Contents, in which headings for the relevant topics can be found. The manual is divided into five main sections: •...
FRONTFLEX Description of the Machine The FRONTFLEX 450/600 is a machine that is mounted on the front lifting unit and is partic- ularly suitable for use in combination with a seed set. The FRONTFLEX is a roller up to 600 cm, equipped with Cross Combi Light rings.
FRONTFLEX Coupling and Uncoupling The front suspension is manufactured in accordance with ISO 730-1 category II/III. If the front lift of the tractor unit is not prepared accordingly, contact your dealer. The arms of the front lifter must not be able to move sideways. Coupling First of all, fit the lifting arms with the lifting pins, then, fit the top rod.
FRONTFLEX Hydraulics The FRONTFLEX 450/600 requires a double-acting hydraulic outlet as standard Labelling the hoses Col- Cylinder designation Outlet Function Folding and lifting Lifts the side frames up/down. into the transport Double-acting position Uncoupling Carry out uncoupling using the coupling sequence in reverse. Remember to depressurise the cylinders before disconnecting the hydraulic hoses.

FRONTFLEX Always uncouple the machine must on a level and firm surface to ensure the best possible stability. Page 14...
FRONTFLEX Mechanical transport lock The hydraulic models must be secured with a transport lock during transport. This prevents the centre section and the side sections from swaying from side to side. The transport lock must be secured with a split pin (A), Fig. 5 and a split pin ring (B), Fig. 5. Fig.
FRONTFLEX On the FRONTFLEX, adjust the side sections with the screws (A), Fig. 7 so that the side sec- tions and the centre section correspond/are parallel to each other (there is an adjustment screw on each side of the centre section). This ensures a standardised work approach on site.
FRONTFLEX Driving and Operation The FRONTFLEX 450/600 is designed so that the centre of gravity of the apparatus is close to the tractor unit. This reduces the load on the tractor unit and makes driving with the ma- chine easier.
FRONTFLEX Folding After the work task is complete, fold up the side panels. Engage the mechanical transport lock; see page 16, Fig. 5-6. The machine may now be lifted off the ground and is ready for transport. When travelling with the machine in the transport position, it is important that both the hydraulic and mechanical transport locks are activated.
FRONTFLEX Maintenance Good maintenance ensures a long service life for the FRONTFLEX 450/600 and, hence, opti- mum utilisation of the machine. Grease nipples are thus fitted at points where wear and tear is greatest. Lubrication It is important to lubricate the machine at the specified intervals to prevent unnecessary wear and tear on moving parts.

FRONTFLEX Retighten all screw connections after the first working day. Check split pin rings and bolts to prevent accidents. This also ensures that the hydraulic system is tight. Hydraulics Check all hydraulic hoses for wear and tear or breakage. Ensure that the hoses are not crushed.
FRONTFLEX Replacement and Repairs Safety is an important aspect of all repair work on the FRONTFLEX. Therefore, the following points and the points under ‘Safety takes priority’ must always be ob- served in the manual. Maintenance and repair work on the FRONTFLEX may only be carried out when the machine is lowered to the ground or when it is fixed in the transport position.
FRONTFLEX Fig. 12 1. Loosen the pinol screws in the bearing. 2. Pull the bearing (A) from the axle, as per Fig. 12. 3. Loosen the screws in the stop rings. 4. Pull off the stop ring (B), as per Fig. 12. 5.
FRONTFLEX Replacing the cylinder for folding Carry out the repair with the FRONTFLEX lowered and the side section turned downwards so that the entire machine is resting on the ground. Remember to depressurise the hydraulic system before disconnecting the hydraulic hoses. 1.
FRONTFLEX Scrapping Position the machine on a flat surface and fold out the side panels. Depressurise the cylinders and disconnect the tractor unit. Fasten the belts to the front suspension and the centre section and hold taut with a crane. Uncouple the machine from the three-point linkage on the tractor unit and suspend it using the crane.
