TRIMAX Classic Safety This symbol appears in the instruction manual each time there is a safety warning concerning your safety, the safety of others or functionality of the machine. All sa- fety instructions must be observed and made available to all users of the machine.
TRIMAX Classic • Check hydraulic hoses regularly for defects such as cracks, splits, crimps, wear or breaks. Defective hoses must be replaced immediately. • Avoid spilling oil on the ground. If oil is spilt, collect and deliver to a destruction point.

TRIMAX Classic • Correct use of the machine includes observing the manufacturer's operating, maintenance and repair instructions, and that original spare parts are always used. • This product may only be used, maintained or repaired by personnel familiar with it and who are aware of the risks that can be involved.
T-rings Flat steel crumbler Terra-cut Delivery TRIMAX Classic is delivered complete on a trailer. The machine can be partially dis- mantled if exported. If lifting the machine, we recommend the use of straps on the mid-section to maintain balance. Page 9...
TRIMAX Classic How to use this manual The sequence of subject matter in this manual can seem illogical. Please refer to the table of contents for page numbers for individual items. The manual is divided into main sections: • Safety •...
• Uniform mixing of crop residues. • Retains soil humidity. The TRIMAX Classic is therefore well suited for tilling the upper soil layer, where the highest rate of plant decomposition occurs. That's why the TRIMAX Classic is an efficient implement in a strategy for reduced soil-cultivation, as only one pass is needed to achieve full ripping with uniform mixing of crop residues and soil microorganisms.
• Remember to secure with a split pin. Disconnection Fig. 3 TRIMAX Classic can be disconnected whilst folded or extended. Remember to depressurise hoses before disconnecting them. see fig. 8 The ball cock for the hydraulic stone shaker must also be closed ( Stand the machine on a firm, level surface.
TRIMAX Classic Setting up The machine is supplied with factory settings, but fine adjustment will always be required before use. Numerous adjustment options make the machine more flexib- le and ensure maximum use. Depth Depth is controlled by the cage roller at the back, in the form of a T-ring roller.

TRIMAX Classic Fig. 5 If very deep tilling is required, the cage roller arm can be moved downwards in the holes (A). The machine must be lowered to the ground to support the cage roller befo- re detaching. Flat tilling Setting for flatter/shallower tilling is done by moving the pins downwards This will raise the chisel plough frame causing the tines to give flatter tilling.
TRIMAX Classic with spring bolts TRIMAX Classic is fitted with spring bolts to prevent stone damage. Fig. 8 When replacing spring bolts (A) always place the bolt in the same hole as for the other tines.
We recommend running at a slight angle to the sowing direction for the best re- sults. TRIMAX Classic must be set up so that it is supported by the cage roller. The tractor hydraulic lift handle must be fully lowered when in operation to allow the lift to mo- ve with the movements of the machine.
Operation and adjustment The flat steel crumbler is not designed to support the TRIMAX Classic, but is purely intended to crush, crumble and even the soil after the TRIMAX Classic, as depth is determined by the cage roller.
TRIMAX Classic Terra-cut Fig. 14 To part the soil flow thrown up from the tip, a Terra-cut (A) can be fitted. The Terra-cut is fitted to the centre hole (B) of the tine, and is supported by the stalk higher up.
TRIMAX Classic Maintenance Good maintenance ensures long service life and optimum use. Grease nipples are fitted where wear is heaviest. Tighten all screw connections after first working day. Check all split pins and bolts to avoid mechanical failure. Check hydraulic system for leaks.
TRIMAX Classic Lubricate all lubrication points at least once annually. Hydraulics Check all hydraulic hoses for wear or cracks. Check all hoses for crimping. Lubricate exposed rams with oil or pressure-resistant grease to avoid rust for- ming when storing for long periods. Remember to remove before use.
TRIMAX Classic Replacement andrepairs Safety is vital for all repair work on the machine. Always observe the following points, plus those under Safety First in the instruction manual. All maintenance and repair work can only be performed when the machine is lo- wered to the ground, the tractor is braked, engine stopped and ignition key remo- ved to prevent accidental start.
TRIMAX Classic Replacing axles, bearings and T-rings Lower machine to the ground. Support cage roller if necessary. Beware of accidental rolling when the bearing bolts are removed. Fig. 21 1 Remove bearing bolts. 2 Roll the T-ring axle away from the frame.

TRIMAX Classic Replace the wings when they are worn to the extent that they no longer work pro- perly, or before wear is caused to the bracket. Page 23...
TRIMAX Classic Scrapping Beware of the weight of any given part when removing or disassembling. All parts must be supported or lifted to avoid danger of falling. Disconnect hydraulic hoses and cylinders and drain oil. Collect oil in container to avoid pollution.
