  • Page 10: Noise Level

    MINIMAX • We recommend the operator assigned to the machine not to wear clothing that could be caught by the machine. • During the use, the machine could emit dust. It is advised to verify the filters on the cabin ventilation system periodically or use suitable protection systems for the respiratory tracts such as anti-dust mask.

    MINIMAX • Hydraulic oil that flies out under high pressure can penetrate through the skin and cause serious injuries. Seek professional medical assistance immediately in the event of any injury. • Do not use the controls or flexible tubes as handles. These components are mo- bile and do not offer a stable support.

    MINIMAX 950 As a drum, MINIMAX 950 is used before sowing to crush tubers as well as after sow- ing to improve sprouting and push down stones. The MINIMAX 950 can be optionally fitted with hydraulic crackerboards. The main application of the crackerboard is in preparing the soil for sowing.

  • Page 17: Settings

    MINIMAX Settings The drum is factory set at delivery, but fine tuning will always be necessary before use. Many different adjustment options make your drums more versatile and allow the potential to gain optimal use of the machine. In order to achieve uniform pressure on the ground, the bar must be adjusted cor- rectly for the tractor concerned.
  • Page 18: Adjustment Of Central Section

    MINIMAX Adjustment of Central Section Fig. 6 With the MINIMAX unfolded (see “Driving and operating”) check if the bolts (A) have approx. 10 mm air to the pipe (B). The central section must be horizon- tal to achieve the best result in the field.
  • Page 19: Driving And Operating

    MINIMAX Driving and operating Proper operation is important in order to get optimal performance from your drum. This applies not only to working in the field but also in terms of safety. It is there- fore crucial that you have thoroughly read the safety precautions that cover the machine.

    MINIMAX Folding Fig. 11 1. The unfolded and folded cylin- ders (marked: Red) are activat- ed, so that the outside of the side sections (A) are lifted as much as possible. Fig. 12 2. The tilt cylinders (marked: White) are activated to full length and the drum is tilted free of the ground Fig.
  • Page 21: Adjustments Of Hydraulic Weight Transfer

    MINIMAX Adjustments of hydraulic weight transfer The hydraulic weight transfer distributes the weight evenly on the drum sections. 1. After the drum is unfolded, pressure is taken out of the unfolded and folded cylinders (marked: Red), after which the cylinders' control lever is activat- ed in the opposite direction.
  • Page 22 MINIMAX It is recommended that the machine be driven at 6-10 km/h, but driving should al- ways be done according to conditions. If the speed is increased, wear will also increase, especially under dry conditions. There is also a risk of damaging the rings by driving at excessively high speeds un- der adverse conditions.

    MINIMAX Retrofitting The crackerboard can be mounted at the factory, but it can also be delivered later if the need arises. For mounting, a crane or similar auxiliary equipment will be required. Fig. 18 1 Unfolding the MINIMAX. 2 The mid-section is mounted in the flanges (A).
  • Page 27: Maintenance

    MINIMAX Maintenance Good maintenance ensures a long life for the drum and therefore optimal use of the machine. Which is why grease fittings have been installed 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 29: Worn Out Parts

    MINIMAX Worn out parts Fig. 24 The slides are factory-fitted in the upper holes on the tooth. The slides must be moved to the lower holes (A) before wear starts to appear on the teeth. After the slides are worn out. Positioned in the lower holes, replace the slides so that no wear occurs on the crack- erboard.
  • Page 30: Replacement And Repairs

    MINIMAX Replacement and repairs  Safety is crucial in regard to all repair work on the drum. The following points must therefore be observed at all times, as well as the points under safety at the begin- ning of the instruction manual. When replacing cylinders, always fill the cylinder with oil before subjecting it to ...
  • Page 31 MINIMAX There must never be people within the machine's operating radius. Replacement of the gaskets 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 in the centre position. The cap (pos. 3) is unscrewed 30 mm. If the cap is stuck, it may help to warm up the front of the cap.

  • Page 36: Removing/Mounting Wheels On The Ground

    MINIMAX Removing/mounting wheels on the ground To remove wheels, unfold the drum with the rings resting on the base. The wheels will not therefore touch the ground. The wheel nuts are removed and the wheel can be replaced. After installing the new wheel, screw the nuts on and tighten with a “firm hand”.

  • Page 38: Dismantling The Drum Body

    MINIMAX Dismantling the drum body The repair is performed on a flat surface with the drum connected to a tractor and unfolded with the rings resting on the ground. It would be a great help to have a crane or something similar available for both the dismantling and assembly. Replacement of the drum body on the side sections If no crane is available, both axles on the side sections must be removed to prevent the drum overturning.

  • Page 40: Disposal

    MINIMAX Disposal The drum must be unfolded. It is crucial that the pressure is released from all the cylinders. When dismantling/assembling, attention should be directed towards the weight on the part in question. It is therefore important that this part be supported or lifted up, so there is no risk of collapse or overturning.
