IMPORTANT: This Operating Manual forms part of the machine and must be readily available for the operator who must read and follow the points covered before use. 1.1 Technical Data Model: Maxi Jet 2 i-CON, Maxi Jet 4 i-CON Hopper capacity: 240 litre or 400 litre 400 litre machine:...
If the base machine or the control system are modified in any way this will void any warranty claim. Stocks Ag cannot be held responsible for any claims or injuries to the owner or any third parties while in the operation of Stocks Ag equipment.
If in doubt contact the vehicle manufacturer for more information. After working the machine ensure that any unused product is returned safely to its original packaging. Stocks Ag Ltd. does not accept any liability for the storage and use of the material being applied.
2.1 Safety Warning Decals Important : Be aware of the safety warning below which are all relevant to this machine WARNING! Read and understand the Operators Manual instructions before operating this machine. Operator errors can result in serious injury. WARNING! Danger due to thrown or flying objects.
240L Model: TJ240COVER 400L Model: TJ400COVER Please contact your locals Stocks Ag dealer for more information. 6.0 Disposal Ensure that any persons handling the machine are aware that the machine may have been used to apply toxic chemicals and so the appropriate personal protection equipment should be worn.
7.0 General Maintenance WARNING! Always ensure the power supply is disconnected before any maintenance work or cleaning of the machine by unplugging the power cable or removing the 40amp fuse in the power cable. Ensure the parent machine is stationary and parked on level ground before working on the machine. The machine must be checked regularly by the operator for any damage, loose bolts or electrical connections, vibrations, unusual sounds, and to ensure it functions correctly.
8.0 Installation Guide The Maxi Jet can be used for a wide variety of seeding applications in conjunction with a wide variety of parent implements. It is not practical to supply tailored mounting brackets for every implement on the market, and so the final attachment of the Maxi Jet to the implement is the responsibility of the supplying dealer or end user.
10, 12 and 16 outlet heads all use 25mm hose. 8.4 Spreader Plate Set Up The Stocks Ag spreader plate was developed to allow a wider spread pattern while positioning the outlets closer to the ground. For products such as grass seed, oil seed rape and Avadex, a spread width per outlet of 750mm is achievable from as low as 250mm above the ground (250mm to the bottom plate).
Page 15
8.4 Spreader Plate Set Up — Continued There are two adjustable tabs on the back plate of each outlet. These tabs are used to create an even arc shaped spread pattern and adjust overlaps between outlets, when required. By bending the back plate tabs in slightly (see diagram below). The coverage of product over the ground can be made much more even.
8.5 C Section Rail The spreader plates themselves are mounted to the “C” section rails, these can be ordered in 2m lengths as an option. Part no. 47TJT5008. These can be cut down to suit the implement width. The “C” section rails can be attached to the implement using the supplied straight brackets, two per rail, which can be welded or bolted into position.
9.0 Maxi Jet Configuration Maxi Jet 2 with 2 x 16 outlet distribution heads 32 outlets in total The Maxi Jet is available in a 2 or 4 outlet configuration. This refers to the number of 63mm diameter hose outlets on the air outlet manifold. Each of the outlet hoses is connected to a riser pipe with a choice of distribution heads mounted on the top.
9.1 Distribution Heads These images show all five options of different distribution heads, mounted on top of the riser pipe. The distribution heads are secured to the riser pipe with an M8 U bolt clamp. To mount the riser pipe onto the host machine, the threads of the U bolt can be used to secure it to a bracket (not supplied).
10.0 Machine Components 10.1 Feed Motor The feed motor can be turned ON or OFF, either manually via the head unit, or automatically by the remote mounted spring finger switch, which can be fitted to the linkage or the implement. The feed motor must be switched ON via the head unit for the spring finger switch to work automatically.
NOTE: Extension power and instrument cables available if required. Please contact your local Stocks Ag dealer for more information. 10.6 Spring Finger Switch The switch should be mounted to a suitable place on the implement or linkage of the tractor, when the spring is deflected it will automatically switch the feed motor off or on as the circuit is made or broken.
10.7 Junction Box The junction box is positioned on the Maxi Jet under a cover above the air inlet manifold and houses 1 toggle switch (unused with hydraulic fan) and the feed mechanism Prime Button. The switch is accessible to the side of the cover.
11.0 Inspection 11.1 Hydraulic Fan Inspection WARNING! Always isolate the power before inspecting or servicing the machine. Daily inspection of the hydraulic fan is recommended. Check the hydraulic hoses between the tractor and the fan motor. Look for oil leaks and damage to the hose and fittings around the fan motor. Check the air inlets to the fan blades, looking for build up of dust or foreign objects that could restrict air flow.
For any spare parts or if no faults are found and the alarm persists, contact your local Stocks Ag dealer. Maxi Jet 2 and 4 i-CON Operating Manual & Parts List P23...
15.0 i-CON Control System 15.1 i-CON Overview All control system components integral to the Maxi Jet are factory fitted. The Instrument has a 4.3" colour touch screen which has 4 basic menu keys. Separate heavy-duty power cable and head unit leads interconnect the tractor and the Maxi Jet. The following components need to be installed during fitment (packed in hopper from factory).
16.0 i-CON Calibration You will need the supplied plastic calibration tray, and an accurate set of scales which weighs in grams. 16.1 At The Junction Box 1. Switch the fan OFF at the junction box. 2. Release the two over-centre catches and drop the hinged panel under the cassette manifold. 3.
16.3 Manual Calibration 1. For a Manual Calibration press and hold the Prime button on the junction box, the larger the quantity dispersed the higher the accuracy of the final calibration factor will be. Release the prime button once sufficient product has been dispensed, 100 to 900 grams is sufficient. 2.
It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure the feed block assembly is suitable for the product being applied. NOTE: Before applying very fine seeds or product please contact your local dealer or Stocks Ag directly to ensure the machine is suitable. Failure to do so could invalidate your warranty.
These segments can be supplied in the low rate precision feed block, or fitted into the standard feed block. NOTE: Stocks Ag does not currently recommend using the Maxi Jet for Avadex application. For the application of Avadex at wider working widths, please speak to the office about the Hydraulic Turbo Jet.
19.0 Hydraulic Fan - Specification Hydraulic Fan Specification Model Max RPM 7000 Max Operational RPM 6000 Max Pressure Max Operational Pressure Displacement Flow 27.3 L/min Power 9.54 Weight 19.1 Hydraulic Fan - Motor The 4cc hydraulic fan motor on the Maxi Jet is connected to the tractors hydraulic remote (spool) valves via 3/4 hydraulic hose.
19.2 Hydraulic Fan - Safety The hydraulic system on the machine operates under high pressure. (Maximum of 210 bar). Pressurised hydraulic oil is dangerous so connecting/disconnecting the fan must only be undertaken with the tractor engine turned off and the pressure in the hoses released. Before operating the machines hydraulics, always inspect the hoses and fittings to ensure there is no damage or loosened parts.
19.4 Hydraulic Fan - Speed Setting The hydraulic fan generates a greater volume of air flow at higher speeds than the 12v electric fans, allowing higher volumes of material to be conveyed over wider working widths. The fan is driven by a hydraulic motor, which is powered by the tractor hydraulic system. The hydraulic motor has a overrun protection built in.
19.6 Hydraulic Fan - Speed Display With the hydraulic fan option has been purchased, the i-CON control box comes pre-configured to display the fan speed on the screen in rpm. 19.7 Hydraulic Fan - Speed Sensor Mount the fan speed sensor in the grill over the fan inlet, using the hole provided.
19.8 Hydraulic Fan - Mounting To mount the hydraulic fan, the back plate is pre drilled with four M8 bolt holes. It is recommended that all four bolt holes are used to mount the fan on a frame to support the fan securely.
