Safety
·Tighten all nuts, bolts or any other fastened assemblies after a few hours’
use.
·Operate the tractor and Frontflex 2000 only while seated in the driver’s
seat. Never allow anyone else to ride on or be in the immediate vicinity of
the equipment.
·Never allow children to operate the Frontflex.
·The driver is responsible for the correct use of lights and markings in
compliance with the present Traffic Act and Highway Code of the local
traffic legislation.
·Remember to secure lift arms and top link connections with lynch pins.
·Before performing any adjustments, maintenance or repairs on the ma-
chinery, always make sure the packer roller is resting securely on the
ground.
·It is strictly forbidden to allow anyone to be underneath Frontflex unless
the implement is securely blocked. Serious injury or death could result.
If the Frontflex is hitched to the tractor, it is important to set the tractor
brakes.
·When changing bearings, shafts and rings, the main frame must be
securely blocked by a solid support. Best results can be achieved by
mounting the Frontflex in the three-point hitch of the tractor, with the
Frontflex resting securely on the ground.
·Frontflex must not be used as a transport vehicle, a pile driver or anything
similar.
·A higher level of noise is produced when driving on rocky soil or with
worn roller rings. To protect against objectionable or uncomfortable loud
noises, wear hearing protection.
·Driving on extremely dry soil conditions can raise a large amount of dust.
It is recommended that the windows and doors of the tractor be closed or
that a dust mask be used.

Application
The Frontflex 2000 is a multi-purpose implement with a diverse range of ap-
plications to accommodate various types of equipment. When mounted in the
front lift, it is especially suited to form part of a combination for seedbed
preparation.
Frontflex 2000 is a roller of up to 400 cm, with a mechanically operated
Crackerboard up to 3 m available as optional equipment. Frontflex 2000 is
equipped with Crosskill rings.
Crosskill rings are excellent for seedbed preparation, as they effectively crush
clods and achieve a good crumb structure.
Frontflex 2000 is constructed to be drawn across the soil, even though it is
mounted on the front. This specially designed mounting system provides bet-
ter manoeuvrability and allows minor steering corrections during operation
without having to raise the implement.
