9  TROUBLE SHOOTING CHART

Always wear safety footwear, overalls, safety gloves and, if necessary, earmuffs and a dust mask during 
use and during machine maintenance, repair, handling and storage operations. 

9.1  Trouble shooting chart

The  maintenance  operations  authorised  by  FERRI  srl  are  the  ones  indicated  in  Chapter  7  –  “ROUTINE 
MAINTENANCE”.

The content of this chapter is not exhaustive. Instead, it aims to provide information on the most common problems 

in order to help specialised technicians to find the fault in question.

The suggestions provided under “REMEDIES” in the following tables 

DO NOT AUTHORISE

 interventions that may 

compromise safety.

To replace damaged the parts or flails, contact the specialised personnel of the FERRI 

Assistance Service or authorised dealers. 

WARNING

9.1.1  General

The following information regards common problems that occur in all the machines (flail heads, shredders, flail hedge 

mowers, etc) and problems typical of specific types of machine.

PROBLEMS

PROBABLE CAUSE

REMEDIES

Irregular cut

Worn, bent or broken flails

Replace

The machine is not positioned 
parallel to the ground

Adjust the stabilizers connected to the tractor or 

the flail head rotation hydraulic ram

Difficulty in unloading chopped 

material caused by excessive 
advance speed

Reduce advanced speed

The rotor turns at insufficient rpm

Check the rpm on the tractor PTO and adjust it to 

the number of rpm required by the machine (see 

the machine technical data)

Damaged motor and/or pump

Repair or replace the motor or the pump

Slipping of the belts on the pulleys

Correct the belt tension
