Distribution of right and left deflectors

Spiral deflectors may equip the lateral tines or all the tines of the machine.

The optimal distribution of these deflectors depends on the accessory type, working conditions (type of ground, depth, speed...), it needs to be adapted during commissioning.

If required, it is possible to invert one or several pairs of deflectors in order to improve mixing or leveling quality.

The factory set-up involves the mounting of deflectors by row. This set-up promotes mixing and balance of soil flows.

Machines with two tine rows:

• The exterior tines direct soil flows towards the interior.

• First row of tines: All the deflectors are oriented to the left. Deflectors spiraled to the left are used.

• Second row of tines: All the deflectors are oriented to the right. Deflectors spiraled to the right are used.

Adjustment of the rear accessories

Combi-disc The combi-disc is a gang of discs used for mixing and leveling.

Adjusting the working depth of the gang of discs

• The hydraulic jacks are used to move the roller(s). The working depth of the gang of discs is adjusted by adding or removing the chocks located at the jack rod. Therefore, the more chocks, the lower the working depth of the gang of discs.

• The roller controls the working depth of the machine; any action on the roller/gang of discs adjustment must therefore be compensated on the parallelogram adjustment (perforated plates) to retain the same depth.

Raise the machine.

Stabilize the machine.

Actuate the hydraulic distributor to lower the rollers.

Add or remove bearing chocks to adjust the working depth of the gang of discs.

• Adding chocks reduces the working depth of the gang of discs (less active discs).

• Removing chocks increases the working depth of the gang of discs (more active discs).

Apply the same setting to all roller cylinders.

Adjusting the working angle of the gang of discs

Certain positions provided on the adjustment plate may not be accessible depending on the accessories mounted on the machine.

Check that the angle chosen is compatible with the machine’s configuration.

Unscrew the locking bolt (A) using the 36 wrench (provided) to release the indexing system.

Place the 36 wrench on the handling assistance nut (B).

For tine attachments, the torque must be maintained at 600 Nm (440 ft.lbf).

Check and tighten, if necessary, after the first few hours of use.

Regularly check (once a year, or more frequently if used intensively) and tighten if necessary.

\ CAUTION

Use only the screws suppliedThe securing screws supplied are special screws for specific requirements. Commercially available screws will not stand up to the stresses on the machine. If you use inappropriate screws or if you do not tighten them to the recommended torque, the machine could be damaged.

Check that the attachments are tight regularlyUsing the machine with loose mechanical fasteners could damage the machine and cause accidents.

Maintenance

Replacing the tines

Replace the tines when they are worn. Depending on the equipment, they may be:

• Rigid tines fitted with a bolt safety system.

• Tines with blade spring fitted with a Non-stop safety system.

Rigid tines

Unscrew and remove the pivot screw from the tine and the attachment screw on the safety plate.

Replace the tine.

Tighten the pivot screw (A) to 200 Nm (148 ft.lbf). Tighten the safety screw (B) to 85 Nm (63 ft.lbf).

\ WARNING

Never loosen more than one spring at the same time.If you loosen several springs at the same time, the machine may tip over. This could cause serious injury or even death.

Carry out the adjustment on one spring.

Relax it.

Move to the next spring.

Exercise precaution when returning the locked tines .to their initial position.Any tine that is abnormally blocked in the raised position may suddenly return to its position and is therefore a source of serious danger.





\ IMPORTANT

Initial spring tension

Check that the initial tension of the springs is correct.

Check that the gap between axes is correct.

Bolt clampingOver time and due to wear, it is necessary to check that the bolts are tightly clamped.

Maintenance

Tines with blade springs

Unlock the retaining screw without removing it (E).

Completely release the blade spring using the tightening screw (C).

Unscrew and remove the pivot screw (D) and retaining screw (E).

Replace the tine.

Tighten the pivot screw to 200 Nm (148 ft.lbf). Grease the clamping screw.

Using a suitable tool (e.g. a jack), compress the blade spring upwards.

Tighten the clamping screw until the gap between the center of the two axes equals 50.5 cm (20”).

Tighten the fixing screw to 300 Nm (221 ft.lbf). Once the tine has returned to the low position, check that it is tight

and does not jam at any point.

Maintenance

Coulter wear

Regularly check the wear of the coulters, tine protection and deflectors.

Replace the coulters, tine protection and deflectors before they are too worn.

Knock-on coulters

All coulters are formed with a bulb (A) at the center to ensure a support protection function. Wear of this bulb therefore serves as an indicator of coulter replacement.Image B shows a coulter that has been used in dry ground. The coulter has actually been worn down to the bulb (A). The bulb protected the tine support until the end; the time has now come to replace the coulter.Image C shows a coulter that has been used in wet ground. The coulter surface has been worn more quickly than the part length, thus creating a hole in the bulb. Once this hole appears, the coulter must be replaced in order to continue protecting the tine support.

\ WARNING

Keep out of the danger zone.When being dismantled, the shares may fall and cause injury. Therefore, when dismantling the shares, always make sure that no part of your body is beneath them.

\ IMPORTANT

If the coulters are not replaced in time, the excessively worn parts could fall off while working and the tines could wear.

Excessive wear on the lower part of the tine could require its replacement in order to attach new coulters.

Maintenance

Replacing the Knock-on coulters

The specific beveled Knock-on tool must be used to replace the coulters.

Dismantling

Beveled Knock-on tool

Hammer (1.5 kg - 3.3 Ibs minimum)

Position the Knock-on tool on the upper part of the coulter.

Hit the other end with a hammer.

Insert the beveled part of the tool between the Knock-on support and the transportation safety clip.

Very slightly pry open to free the coulter.

Assembly

Beveled Knock-on tool

Hammer (1.5 kg - 3.3 Ibs minimum)

Place the end of the coulter point in the slot in the Knock-on tool.

Hold the Knock-on tool firmly taking care not to be pinched when hitting.

Give two or three firm hits to the coulter with a hammer in the direction of the blocking system to guarantee that the part remains in the support.

\ DANGER

When being dismantled, the coulters may fall and cause injury. Consequently, before you dismantle these coulters:

Make sure that no part of your body is positioned under these coulters.

Maintenance

Distribution of plow points 60 mm (2 3/8”) on the right and on the left

Standardization of the symmetrical installation of points irrespective of the type of machine and arrangement of tines.

• Right side (central tine included): right points

• Left side: left points

Disc wear Replace the discs when they are excessively worn.

Right points Left points

Right side Left side

Maintenance

Wearing of the knife skids on Actipack and Actiring

Regularly check the wear of the knife skids (A).

Replace them before wear can cause the part to be lost during operation.

Wearing of the leveling blades on Actiflex

Check that the screws are still tight after several hours of use.

Regularly check the wear on the leveling blade coulters.

Replace them before wear can cause the part to be lost during operation.

After use and before storage, it is recommended that the roller is thoroughly cleaned, to remove any earth attached to it which may cause a nuisance when resuming work.

Maintenance

Replacement of the hydraulic system parts

Ensure that the tractor and machine hydraulic systems are not pressurized.

Identify the connectors using the color code to avoid incorrect connections (inverting the functions could cause accidents).

\ DANGER

Work on the hydraulic system must only be carried out by a trained and authorized technician.

\ DANGER

The hydraulic system is pressurized.Before any intervention on the hydraulic system:

Lock the folding extension and all the hydraulically controlled accessories in rest position.

Reduce the pressure between the tractor and the machine.

Reduce the pressure between the hydraulic accumulators and the cylinders, even when the accumulators are located on the cylinders.

Failure to carry out these actions could result in serious injury or death.

The accumulators contain pressurized gas even when the hydraulic pressure has dropped.

The hydraulic circuits may be equipped with blocking components. Consequently, even if you think that the pressure has dropped, be careful.
