F I E L D O P E R AT I O N Your Speedtiller Powerflex is a high performing speed disc. You will need to become familiar with the settings and adjustments to get the full benefit of your new machine. Front wheel hydraulics control the depth of cut for the Powerflex, giving more accurate depth control for hard soils and heavy trash conditions. For undulations such as farm contours etc. the roller hydraulics must be placed in float mode.
WARNING
WARRANTY WILL BE VOIDED IF TILT OR REAR ROLLER HYDRAULICS ARE FORCED DOWNWARDS CAUSING ROLLERS TO CARRY EXCESSIVE MACHINE WEIGHT WHEN TURNING AND ON HEADLANDS.
