In  the  event  that  the  packer  sections  are  not  cutting  at  the  same  penetration 
depth, it may be 

necessary to ”reset” the cylinders by moving the cylinders out in-

to a fully extended position before returning to the original depth.   

 
Hydraulic Angle Adjustment 

Hydraulic  angle  adjustment  makes  it  possible  to  change  the  angle  of  the  discs 
from inside the cab while driving on the field.  
 
Fig. 20 

 

 

 
Mounting  
1.

 

Unfold the AXR-H and lower it onto the ground.  

2.

 

Remove the turnbuckles from the brackets (A). 

3.

 

Mount the hydraulic angle adjustment into the brackets.  

4.

 

Mount the disc gang turnbuckles onto the hydraulic angle adjustment.  

5.

 

Fasten the hydraulic hoses to the main frame (Make sure that the hoses do not 
get  caught  or  squeezed  when  the  side  wings  fold  up  into  the  transport  posi-
tion.).  

6.

 

Connect the hydraulic hoses to a double-acting outlet on the tractor. Activate 
the angle adjustment in the fully extended position to bleed air out of the sys-
tem.  

7.

 

Check the hydraulic system for leaks.  

 

Never  allow  bystanders  within  the  operating  radius  of  the  AXR-H  when  the  angle 
adjustment is activated.

Operating Instructions 
Hydraulic angle adjustment provides the user with greater flexibility since it allows 
the user to react immediately to the changes in the field structure. The optimum 
setting can be more easily attained when the results of the angle changes can be 
seen immediately. It is recommended not to drive with a larger angle than neces-
sary,  since  this  will  increase  wear  on  the  machinery  and  more  power  will  be  re-
