Operate the MAXIDISC only while seated in the driv- er’s seat of the tractor. • Ensure that wing section locks are engaged when the MAXIDISC is in a folded position. Secure control levers against unintentional operation.
If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Hitching • An individual is in danger of being crushed during the hitching process. Never place yourself or anyone else between the tractor and the MAXIDISC, or between parts that must be attached or connected. Maintenance and Repairs •...
Correct Use • Correct use of the MAXIDISC includes adherence to the instructions of the man- ufacturer concerning operation, maintenance and repair, as well as the use of genuine factory replacement parts.
MAXIDISC is delivered fully assembled on a flatbed lorry. The implement may be partially disassembled for export. If the MAXIDISC needs to be lifted, it is recommended that you lift with straps around the middle section, raising the machine so that it hangs in balance.
MAXIDISC represents a whole new generation of towed disc harrows providing the ultimate in compactness. The MAXIDISC is specially designed for work in the uppermost soil layer where resi- due management is concentrated. The MAXIDISC effectively performs full cutting penetration of the field and uniform mixing and blending of plant residue and soil microorganisms in just one pass.
MAXIDISC Hitching and Unhitching The linkage of the MAXIDISC is manufactured in compliance with DS/ISO 730-1 cat- egory II and III. Hitching First mount the lift arms into the ball sockets (A). Elevate the lift and move the hitch stand up into the transport/working position (B).
MAXIDISC and remove the lift arms from the hitch. Remember to relieve the pressure in the hydraulic system before disconnecting the hoses. Unhitching of the MAXIDISC must always be carried out on even ground. Secure the MAXIDISC against unintentional operation. Side 14...
MAXIDISC Adjustments and Settings The MAXIDISC is preset in the factory, but it will always be necessary to make some fine adjustments before use. Numerous adjustment possibilities make your MAXI- DISC more versatile and allow you to obtain optimum performance from the imple- ment.
MAXIDISC Depth The working depth can be adjusted using the lift and the rear T-ring packer roller. Depth adjustment is fully hydraulic. It is important that the cylinders on the packer has the same length. Hydraulic Weight Transfer ”Operating and driving instruction, Hydraulic Weight Transfer ”).
Side Disc Fig. 8 A disc mounted on the left edge of the MAXIDISC limits the amount of soil be- ing cast out by the disc in the very front. Adjust the side disc vertically by using the pin (A) according to the working depth of the MAXIDISC.
After the side wings and the packer roller have been folded up, lower the MAXIDISC so that the transport lock of the wheel suspension locks firmly and securely.
1 There is not enough pressure on the outer rings of the wing sections and the support wheels to press the T-rings sufficiently into the soil. 2 The middle of the MAXIDISC will pack the soil too heavily, resulting in an un- even field finishing.
MAXIDISC The MAXIDISC must be adjusted to operate in a perfectly level and horizontal posi- tion, both parallel and perpendicular to the direction of travel, to obtain level and uniform field finishing. Hydraulic depth adjustment Fig. 12 The penetration depth can be freely adjusted during operation.

MAXIDISC Options Your MAXIDISC can be equipped with various types of optional equipment, depend- ing on individual needs. Bogie T-ring Fig. 13 Bogie T-ring (A) is running perfect in the must difficult fields. We recom- mend the Bogie T-ring for all fields from heavy to light soil.
MAXIDISC Maintenance Proper maintenance ensures a long life for the MAXIDISC and also optimum perfor- mance from the implement. To facilitate maintenance, grease fittings have been mounted on those locations where wear on the equipment is the greatest. Lubrication Fig. 16...
To avoid rust, any projecting or exposed piston rods should be coated with oil or grease if the MAXIDISC is to be parked for a long period of time. Remember to re- move the oil or grease prior to operation.
MAXIDISC Wheels Lubricate and adjust the wheel bearings once a year. Make sure that the tyre pres- sure is correct (see tyre information). Adjustment and lubrication of wheel bearings 1. Remove the hubcap. 2. Take out the split pin. 3. Tighten the castle nut 1/6 of a rotation until the hole is lined up with the axle.
MAXIDISC Replacements and Repairs Safety is important in connection with all repair work on the MAXIDISC. The follow- ing safety precautions and the precautions listed in the beginning of this manual must be observed. Before performing any adjustments, maintenance or repairs on the machinery,...
MAXIDISC Replacing angle adjustment seals Fig. 20 Cylinder 50/30-150 1 Empty the oil from the cylinder by carefully moving the cylinder back and forth. 2 Move the piston to the middle position. Unscrew the gland (pos. 3) from the cylinder casing (pos. 1). (A special tool is needed to remove the gland). If the gland is stuck, it may help to warm up the very front of the socket.
MAXIDISC Changing Wing Fold Cylinders Fig. 21 When performing repairs, make sure the MAXIDISC is unfolded and resting on the ground. Relieve the pressure in the hydraulic system. Disconnect the hoses and remove the cylinders. After installing a new cylinder, always bleed air out of the system and check for leaks.
13 Screw the gland onto the casing and tighten. Changing Wheel Frame Cylinder The MAXIDISC must first be unfolded and lowered so that the discs are resting se- curely on the ground. Relieve the pressure in the wheel cylinder so that the wheels are resting on the ground.
Changing Packer Roller Fold Cylinders The MAXIDISC must first be unfolded and lowered so that the discs are resting se- curely on the ground. Relieve the pressure in the wheel cylinder so that the wheels are resting on the ground.

MAXIDISC Fig.24 Cylinder 80/40-350 1. Empty the oil from the cylinder by moving the cylinder back and forth. 2. Move the piston into the middle position. Unscrew the gland (pos. 3) from the cylinder casing (pos. 1). A special tool is needed to remove the gland. If the gland is stuck, it may help to warm up the very front of the socket.
MAXIDISC Replacing Disc Hub Bearing The MAXIDISC must be unfolded with the side wings and main frame securely blocked and supported before pulling the disc leg out of the gang tube. Fig. 25 1 Remove the bolts (A) and (B).
MAXIDISC Dismounting/Mounting of Wheels To dismount the wheels, lower the MAXIDISC until the discs are resting on the ground and the wheels are clear off the ground. Remove the lug nuts. The wheel can then be removed. After mounting a new wheel, screw on the lug nuts and tighten with a “hard hand”.

MAXIDISC Scrapping The MAXIDISC must be unfolded. It is important to remove the pressure in all cylin- ders. When dismounting/mounting components, always pay attention to the weight of the part that you are about to handle. It is important to support or secure the part so that it cannot fall.
