3. Ensure the left and right roller brackets are in the same hole position in order to
maintain a level roller which is parallel to the ground. Be sure the shredder is level
and lock the tractor arms so they will not float down or up when cutting.
IMPORTANT: Very low cutting heights should be avoided. Damaging shock loads
occur when the blades strike the ground repeatedly. This can cause damage to
the flail shredder.
3.04 - Pre-Operational Check
IMPORTANT: Check each of the following, carefully, prior to engaging the equipment:
1. The rotor and roller bearings have been greased.
2. The oil in the gearbox.
3. The driveline cross and bearings have been greased.
4. No wrappings or foreign objects are around the blades, belts or driveline.
5. The blades are properly installed and the blade bolts properly torqued

.
6. All hardware is tight.
7. The tractor, to ensure correct direction of PTO and rpm speed.
8. All safety shields and guards are in place and tightly attached.
9. No people or animals are in the work area.
10. When working, make sure the tractor hitch is locked in position so the front of the
flail shredder will not float down while shredding.
DANGER: Stay clear of rotating driveline. Entanglement in rotating driveline can
cause serious injury. Disengage PTO, wait for all moving parts to come to a
complete stop, engage parking brake or place transmission in “Park”, shut off the
tractor and remove the key before
working around hitch, attaching or detaching
driveline, making adjustments, servicing or cleaning the machine.
3.05 - Attaching to the Tractor
Unit may be used on tractors ranging from 40 to 90 HP equipped with a standard PTO

and a category 1 or 2 three point hitch. Never use this shredder with tractors over 90
HP.
CAUTION: Check the tractor PTO rpm to ensure it is set at 540 and turns
clockwise.
