Operational Safety The machine must only be put into operation after receiving instructions by employees of the authorized dealer or a HORSCH employee. The machine registration form has to be completed and returned to HORSCH.

Road Traffic Safety The valid road traffic regulations are to be observed when traveling on public roads, paths and areas. Do not exceed the maximum permissible transportation widths and heights and install road lighting equipment, warnings and safety covers where necessary. Do not exceed the permissible axle loads, tire carrying capacities and total weights, in order to ensure sufficient steering and braking capabilities. Handling is affected by the implement connected. It is important to take into account the large overhang and the centrifugal mass of the implement, particularly when cornering. DO NOT EXCEED A MAXIMUM SPEED OF 20 MPH DURING TRANSPORTATION. LOSS OF VEHICLE/MACHINE CONTROL CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH! The whole machine is to be cleaned of soil that has been collected before travel on public roads. Be sure to thoroughly clean the debris from the rear Roll-Flex packer system.

Passengers are strictly forbidden to ride on the machine.

Hydraulic connections • Do not connect hydraulic lines to the tractor before both hydraulic systems (machine and tractor)

are depressurized. • The hydraulic system is under high pressure. Check all lines, hoses and screwed connections

regularly for leaks and any visible external damage! • Only use appropriate aids when checking for leaks. Repair any damage immediately! Oil sprays

can cause injuries and fire! • In the case of injury, contact a doctor immediately!

The control units on the tractor must be secured or locked when not in use or when the machine is in transport position, in order to prevent accidents caused by unintended hydraulic movements or movements caused by persons other than the operator (children, passengers).

Do not travel on roads with the rear Roll-Flex packer system on the ground. This may cause damage to the roads and premature wear and possible malfunction of components to the machine.

Pressure Accumulator Depending on the equipment of the machine, the hydraulic system may have a pressure accumulator installed. Do not open or work (welding, drilling) on the pressure accumulator. Even after being emptied, the accumulator is still preloaded by gas pressure. Always depressurize the pressure accumulator before starting work on the hydraulic system. The pressure gauge should not indicate any pressure. The pressure gauge reading should drop to 0 psi. Only then may service be carried out on the hydraulic system.

Changing Implements • Secure the machine against unintended rolling! • Secure lifted frame parts, under which you will be working, with suitable supports! • Caution! Danger of injury caused by protruding parts (tines, discs)! • Do not use the packer or other rotating parts when climbing onto the machine. These could start

to rotate and you could fall and be seriously injured. In Operation • Check the area around the machine (for children!) before setting off and starting operation of

the machine. Ensure sufficient visibility! • Stay clear of the operating range of hydraulically operated parts. • Passengers are not allowed to ride on the machine during operation! Service and Maintenance • Ensure that regular tests and inspections are always carried out to schedule, as specified in the

operating instructions. • Prior to performing maintenance and servicing work, ensure that the machine is positioned on

firm, level ground and that it is properly secured against rolling away. • De-pressurize the hydraulic system and lower or support the implement. • After cleaning, check all hydraulic lines for leaks and loose connections. • Check hoses for chafing and signs of other damage. Remedy any faults immediately! • Prior to working on the electrical system, disconnect it from the electric power supply. • Retighten screwed connections which had been loosened during servicing and maintenance

work.

Do not wash new machines with a steam-jet or high-pressure cleaner. The paint takes approximately 3 months to cure and could thus be damaged if this time has not yet expired.

Tire Information • Proper Tire inflation is important. Inflate tires accordingly:

o HD20 – 64 PSI Transport / 60 PSI Gauge wheels. o HD30/40 – 70 PSI Transport / 60 PSI Gauge wheels.

• Verify tightness of all wheel lugs. Follow posted torque specs below: o HD-Series – 220 ft.-lbs. Transport / 400 ft.-lbs. Gauge wheels.

Transport/Installation There is higher danger of accident during initial installation. Please pay attention to the notes in the corresponding chapters.

Delivery The machine with implements is normally delivered completely assembled on a low loader. If parts or modules had to be disassembled for transportation purposes, these will be assembled by our distributor. Depending on the design of the low loader the machine can be unloaded with a tractor, or needs to lift off with suitable lifting gear (forklift truck or crane). Sufficient load bearing capacity of lifting gear and lifting tackle must therefore be assured. Lifting and latching points are identified by labels. When using other lifting points pay careful attention to the center of gravity and the weight distribution. These points must, in any case, only be on the frame of the machine.

Installation Instruction of the operation and initial installation of the machine will be carried out by our service representatives or distributors.

Any use of the machine without dealer/distributor training is prohibited! The machine can only be released for operation after the instructional session has been conducted by our service engineer / distributor and after the operating instructions have been reviewed and read.

There is higher danger of accident during installation and maintenance. Before performing any installation and maintenance work or service, make yourself familiar with the machine and read the operating instructions.

Depending on scope of equipment: • Take loosely delivered parts off the machine. • Check all important screw connections! • Lubricate all grease fittings! • Check air pressure in tires! • Check all hydraulic connections and hoses for correct fastening and function. • Immediately rectify any occurring damage or have it corrected by an authorized dealer!

Transport Depending on country specific regulations and working width, the equipment can be transported on public roads, either attached to a tractor or on a trailer or low loader. • The permissible dimensions and weights for transport must be complied with. • The tractor must be big enough, so that sufficient steering and braking abilities are assured. • If the machine is hitched up in two-point mode, the tractor link arms must be blocked against

swinging sideways. • For road transport, insert the provided yellow safety stops to front and rear hydraulic cylinders

and insert wing locks pins (if available, where necessary). NOTE: Do NOT rest the machine on the safety stops. The machine has a load hold valve in the circuit to hold the cylinder when it is disconnected from the tractor. The yellow safety stops are primarily a safety device in case of a failure in the hydraulic circuit and used during service of the machine. The machine is transported on the rear tires of the transport axle. Never transport the machine on the rear Roll-Flex packer system.

• Be sure to turn the Road/Field selector valve to ‘Road’ mode for transportation. The Road/Field valve turns on/off hydraulic pressure to the rear circuit of the machine.

Shown in Field mode

• On a trailer or low loader, the machine must be secured with tensioning straps, chain binders,

or other means. • Attach lifting tackle only at the specially marked hoisting/lifting points. NOTE: The Lift circuit must be fully extended before Folding/Unfolding the machine!

DO NOT EXCEED A MAXIMUM TRANSPORTATION SPEED OF 20 MPH (32 KPH) DURING TRANSPORTATION IF TOWING THE MACHINE. LOSS OF VEHICLE/MACHINE CONTROL MAY/CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAAMGE AND SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH!

Setting/Operation Cultivation Discs: The serrated discs of the machine cut the harvest residues and the soil and mix the residues into the soil down to working depth. Maintenance: The bearings are oil filled and therefore, maintenance free. However a bit of penetrating lubricant may be applied to the backside of the bearing hub to lubricate the hub seal. The picture below will identify where to spray any type of sufficient penetrating oil for lubricating the seal. Check the discs regularly for clearance, leaks, tightness and unrestricted rotation.

Notes on cleaning: The mechanical seals of the disc hubs are very sensitive. If water has entered them and the machine is then parked over a longer period of time, damage may occur. This can cause corrosion, and both mechanical seal rings may stick together. The mechanical seal rings will then rotate around the O-ring and damage it. Oil would run out of the hub and the bearing would be damaged after a short while with no lubrication. • Bearings must therefore not be cleaned with high pressure cleaning equipment. • Before longer periods of rest, the bearing locations should be sprayed with a rust

dissolver/inhibitor, or similar lubricant. Before resuming operation, the discs should be turned by hand and checked for unrestricted rotation.

Apply penetrating oil to backside of hub to lubricate the seal.

Roll-Flex Packer The Roll-Flex system can be attached as a rear packer on the machine. While in field use, the packer is used to lift/lower the machine. There are two options of Roll-Flex packer systems available for the HD-Series Joker. The standard option is a 4-Tongue spring 24” diameter packer configuration. (See picture below) The other option, is a Heavy Duty 5-Tongue spring 28” diameter packer configuration. While in use in the field, the machine always travels on the packer. NOTE: Never exceed a maximum operating speed of 8mph while traveling on the Roll-Flex system only during ‘Field’ mode. The packer is not rated for extreme loads at high speeds, only for machine weight for short distances, such as turning around at the end of a field or traveling across a headland. Due to the weight of the machine, a high consolidation and a fine, crumbly, level surface is achieved.

Roll-Flex Packer – 4 Tongue Standard With cohesive soils the packers may pick up more soil and thus become considerably heavier. This can overload components or soil the roads during transportation.

Packers must therefore, always be cleaned before road transportation if they have picked up soil.

Folding/Unfolding Folding movements must only be performed on firm and level ground. The folding process should only be performed in the field because the coulter discs could get caught in the ground. If the folding process is performed on the road, discs and road surface layer could get damaged.

Joker HD-Series

Folding – Manual HD: 1. Stop tractor and lower machine to set depth on packer system. 2. Raise machine completely with the transport axle (remove any excess soil buildup). The

LIFT circuit MUST be fully extended prior to Folding/Unfolding. 3. Extend Hitch cylinder completely. 4. Insert yellow safety stops to front hitch (or flip-over depth stops) and rear transport axle

cylinders. 5. Fold in the side wings. 6. Insert Wing Lock pins, (if equipped). 7. Turn the Selector Valve to ‘Road’ mode operation.

Do not transport the machine in a position higher than necessary. With the Joker, consider the transport height, especially in case of bridges or low hanging power lines.

Unfolding: 1. Stop tractor and remove wing lock pins, (if equipped). 2. Turn Selector Valve to ‘Field’ mode operation. 3. Unfold wings and put hydraulic remote into float position. 4. Raise machine on rear transport axle. The LIFT circuit MUST be fully extended prior

to Folding/Unfolding. 5. Remove yellow safety stops from front hitch cylinder (or flip-over depth stops) and rear

transport axle. 6. Lower Roll-Flex packer system. 7. Raise rear axle so implement is resting on the packer. 8. Phase the packer cylinders. See ‘Phasing the Hydraulic Cylinders’ on the following pages.

Phasing the Hydraulic Cylinders The machine is fitted with hydraulic rephasing cylinders on the rear packer system. The cylinders are all connected in series, and therefore operate in a lift/lower function simultaneously. Here, the hydraulic oil if forced out of the piston rod chamber of one cylinder and in to the piston chamber of the next cylinder, and so on and so forth, for however many cylinders are connected in series. The diameter of each cylinder is smaller in the series to enable the lifting distance to remain constant. In the extended position the rephasing orifices are exposed to allow the oil to flow in to the next cylinder. The cylinders are filled with oil, vented, and aligned with the end stop.

Procedure

1. Set the tractor at a medium RPM rating, or about half throttle. 2. Activate the lift control device and maintain the pressure (hold the SCV) for approximately

30 seconds. (This will lift the machine and apply pressure to the first series cylinder. Once they have full extended and reached maximum pressure, the relief, or rephasing port of the cylinder, will send the pressure to the next series cylinder. The process is then repeated. When the final series cylinder has phased, the relief port sends the pressure back to the tractor and completes the series rephase of the cylinder circuit.)

3. Reposition the cylinders and repeat the procedure several times. (The system should NOT need to be bled out during phasing, unless the circuit has recently been repaired or a cylinder replaced. Otherwise, bleeding is done at the factory.)

4. Once phased, continue with machine set up for wing pressure and verify depth setting. 5. Begin tillage. Remember to verify proper phasing of the series circuit throughout the work

day to guarantee proper operation of the machine and obtain a nice field finish.

Troubleshooting If several rephasing hydraulic cylinders are connected in series and one cylinder has an internal leak, it is possible to locate the defective cylinder using a shut-off valve. A shut-off valve (Cylinder Test Kit) is available for purchase for further troubleshooting and diagnostics, PN 05945100. NOTE: Multiple test kits may be necessary to successfully troubleshoot the series circuit. See diagram below.

1. Install the shut-off valve between the first and second cylinder. 2. Open the shut-off valve and level off the cylinder (align and vent). 3. Fully extend the cylinder and disconnect the hydraulics. 4. If the cylinder continues to fall, depressurize the system and mount a shut-off valve

between the second and third cylinders. Realign and vent the cylinders. 5. Repeat the procedure until the rear packer is no longer lowered. 6. The defective cylinder in the series will be the one that has been disconnected from the

circuit. 7. Remove the cylinder. Repair the cylinder with a new seal kit or replace the cylinder as

needed. (Kits available are listed for the model specific machine in the parts catalog. There is no seal kit available for the 5” x 8” or 4.75” x 8” Electronic version rephasing cylinders.)

Helpful Hint In some cases it may be possible to successfully diagnose the cylinder simply by putting the tractor in to continuous flow, then check each cylinder to see if they are warm or hot to the touch. This would identify a defective cylinder with an internal leak. Another method, while in continuous flow, is to listen for blow-by internally to the cylinder. This would identify a defective cylinder as well.

Gauge Wheels The gauge wheels keep the machine steady and maintain the working depth in the ground. The wheels only have a sensing and supporting function. They are not designed as load bearing transport wheels.

The gauge wheel can be set, but not until after the depth setting has been completed.

When starting work the gauge wheel should be in its highest position.

The gauge wheel is lifted with the machine when it is taken out of the ground at the headland.

Setting Gauge Wheels: 1. Before setting the depth of the implement, raise the gauge wheel to its highest position by

turning the turnbuckle. 2. Set the desired machine depth. (See procedure in previous section). 3. Lower the implement to the predetermined set depth into the ground and start tilling the

field. 4. Stop in the field with the machine still in the ground. DO NOT LIFT MACHINE OUT OF

THE GROUND! 5. Turn the turnbuckle to lower the gauge wheel to the ground.

NOTE: HD30 & HD40 Joker machines use a hydraulic cylinder for depth control assistance on the gauge wheels. See picture below. Set desired depth using hydraulic pressure.

1. Start with the machine gauge wheels set at a setting of 20. (Each count of ‘10’ equals 2”.) 2. Set the Wing pressure at about 250 PSI. 3. Adjust the front hitch cylinder so there is about 10-12 shims unused to start out. Machine should

be set roughly at about 3.5-4” working depth. Continue working field. Adjust depth control and front hitch as necessary for level and tracking and desired working depth.

NOTE: The tires should only support the machine on the ground in case of obstructions and following the contour of the field. The frame must always rest on the stop screws. The wheels should not lift up the side wings when in operation.

Maintenance and Servicing

Observe the safety instructions for maintenance and servicing. Your machine has been designed and constructed for maximum power, efficiency and user-friendliness according to a multitude of operating conditions. Your machine has been checked at the factory and by your appointed authorized dealer prior to delivery in order to determine that the machine is in perfect condition. The recommended main-tenance and servicing schedule should be carried out at regular intervals in order to maintain failure-free operation.

Cleaning The recommended cleaning and maintenance schedule should be carried out at regular intervals in order to maintain operational availability and guarantee optimum performance.

The hydraulic cylinders and bearings should not be cleaned with a high- pressure cleaner or direct water jet. The seals and bearings are not wa-terproof under high pressure.

Maintenance Periods The maintenance intervals are determined by various different factors. Various operating, weather and soil conditions, as well as working speeds, affect the maintenance intervals, but also the quality of the lubricants and cleaning agents used, determines the time interval required until the next period for scheduled maintenance. The specified maintenance intervals can therefore only be regarded as an indication. The intervals of maintenance work affected have to be adjusted to suit the conditions, should there be any deviations from normal operating conditions. Regular maintenance forms the basis for a serviceable machine. Serviced machines lower the risk of malfunctions and guarantee the efficient application and operation of machines.

Before working on or crawling under machine, insert transport stops and follow all noted safety guidelines.

See Maintenance Schedule on the following page.

Storage Should the machine not be used for a longer period of time, follow these steps:

• If possible, store the machine under a roofed area. • Protect the machine against rust. Only spray with biologically degradable oils, i.e.

rapeseed oil.

Preventative Maintenance A quick, simple walk-around of the entire machine is highly encouraged before operation of the machine each time of intended use. Inspect all moving and wear items such as cultivating discs, hub bearings, and rear Roll-Flex packer springs.

Cultivating discs should be tight to the hub. Also check that there are no cracked or broken discs. If so, replace immediately. In the sense of the discs being a wear type item, it is recommended to replace the discs once they have worn considerably and are noticeably requiring more depth control of the machine for proper soil cultivation.

Disc hubs are oil filled as mentioned earlier in this manual and require no maintenance, unless there is noticeable oil seepage from the housing. If so, replace the hub or repair the failed seal and fill the hub with the correct recommended oil, 1.0 ounces 75w140 synthetic gear oil.

Roll-Flex packer springs are also a wear item to the Joker machine. As spring steel is allowed to flex, keep in mind that given their intended use, the spring, as any other, does have a life span. Its life expectancy is shortened each time it flexes. Flexing will cause weakened steel and eventually fail, or break. The maximum amount of flex allowed for a packer spring is 1”. Inspect each packer spring for cracks/fractures or breakage, flattened springs, and extended flexing. If any of these conditions are apparent, replace immediately. Also, if the spring is outside the allowed flex amount it should be replaced immediately. An aftermarket kit is available as well for an added option in preserving packer tongue springs, HORSCH PN 04596220 Roll-Flex Spring Support, available from your local authorized dealer.

New Roll-Flex packer springs Used Roll-Flex packer springs at max. flex allowed

Troubleshooting Problem Cause Solution

Machine does not track straight.

Machine is not level front to back.

Adjust hitch tilt cylinder.

Machine does not stop at desired depth. (Electronic versions)

Cylinders not reaching set points before hydraulic flow stops.

Adjust SCV timer setting so valve returns to neutral within 5 seconds of all cylinder movement stopping.

Machine acts erratically, does not maintain consistent depth.

SCV lever is being operated multiple times per lift/lower cycle.

Only activate timer function once per cycle. Refer to tractor operator’s manual. Rephase packer cylinders.

Machine stops then continues past desired set depth.

SCV is still active after all cylinder movement has stopped.

Reduce timer setting (if used). Return SCV to neutral within 5 seconds of all cylinders stopping.

Entire machine plugs when running.

Ground speed too slow; working depth too deep.

Increase ground speed up to 10 mph. Reduce tillage depth. Rephase packer cylinders.

Wings plug when running. Wings not running level. Reduce wing pressure so wings are level.

Machine lifts slow. Tractor SCV not set to 100%; excessive soil buildup on machine.

Set SCV to 100%. Remove soil from machine frame.

Tilt cylinder will not move when discs are out of ground.

Depth controller prevents tilt cylinder movement when “Actual Depth” is 0.

Turn depth controller off. Adjust tilt cylinder.
