Board hydraulic system
The hydraulic cylinders (D) are linked in series to the corresponding cylinders on
the other side section and centre section. The cylinders are fitted with a free ram
shaft (E). This design means that the amount of oil moved either side of the ram is
identical for a given movement. The oil flowing out of cylinder 1 from a movement is
used to move cylinder 2, and so on. This ensures that all 3 cylinders move exactly
the same as the first cylinder. The 3 boards therefore follow each others' move-
ments precisely.
Bleeding the system
Air can enter the system if the machine is unused for an extended period. The pres-
ence of air can be seen when the boards do not follow each other 100%. The system
needs bleeding. Set the board to maximum depth using the hydraulics (the cylin-
ders must be as short as possible). Maintain pressure in the system in this posi-
tion for a while (try to make the cylinders even shorter) even if the cylinders are
fully retracted. The cylinders are designed to allow oil to pass the ram via a channel
even when at maximum retraction. This forces any air out of the system.
Crackerboard
MINIMAX can be fitted with a hydraulically-operated crackerboard. The board is
very effective for levelling soil, e.g. ploughed soil. The crackerboard hydraulic sys-
tem is identical to that of the levelling board above.
In contrast to the levelling board (which has a one-piece board), the crackerboard
has a single broad replaceable tip on every fourth tine. This means that the crack-
erboard can be used more aggressively (applied harder to the ground), without
building up a bank of earth in front of it, because much of the crumbled soil can be
slip between the individual tines. A one-piece board is available.
