5.5 Double Disc Axles
The axles on this roller are tensioned by the
main axle through the centre of the rings
and bearings.
Specialist equipment is required
for the disassembly of Double
Disc axles. Please consult your
dealer under any circumstances
that require disassembly of these
axles.
Maintenance of these rollers is limited to
daily greasing of the bearings to flush out
dirt, and regular inspection to ensure the
assemblies are tight, and scrapers are
correctly set. The axles can be tightened
provided the bearing pillar ‘U’ bolts are
loosened to avoid preloading the bearings
as they move sideways to each other.
Ensure the bearing pillars are re- tightened
to the mainframe after this.
5.3.2 Bearing Seals
It is important when replacing the labyrinth
type bearing seals in disc hubs that the
seal is fitted the right way round. The
chamfered lip side should be at the outside
of the bearing housing, nearest the disc
arm (see Fig. 5.02). This chamfered lip
prevents dirt ingress into the housing and
also allows grease to be flushed though
when greasing.

5. Servicing and Maintenance
The scraper is intended to clear
dirt from blocking between
adjacent DD rings. If adjustment
to the scrapers is required ensure
that the scraper cannot contact the
spacer even under load. Regularly
inspect the spacers for signs of
wear and adjust any scrapers to
ensure no contact can be made.
5.4 DD Lite Roll
The spacers and rings on the DD Lite Roll
are held under tension by the end plates at
the outer ends of the roll tube.
Specialist equipment is required
for the disassembly of DD Lite
rollers. Please consult your
dealer under any circumstances
that require disassembly of these
rollers.
Maintenance of these rollers is limited to
yearly/end of season greasing and regular
inspection to ensure the assemblies are
tight, and scrapers are correctly set.
5.6 Hydraulics
Refer to safety information on page 12.
For operation a low oil flow should
be used, i.e., tractor tickover or
low flow selected.
Exercise extreme care when
checking the valve or circuits,
and under no circumstances
attempt to adjust or loosen fittings
without prior reference to your
authorised dealer, and detailed
maintenance instructions.
