FLAIL MOWER - FMH Series
SKID ADJUSTMENT
The position of the skids can be adjusted by:
• loosening and removing the bolts (1) that clamp the skids to the side plates of the frame,
•
reposition the skids according to the needs, and
• retightening the bolts (1).
The skids can be placed in 3 different positions but, in the presence of the stabilizer roller or the pivoting
wheels, they have the unique function of protecting the side plates of the frame from any direct contact with
the ground.
Therefore, make sure the skids are not positioned below the roller or wheels, because the latter two a
the devices holding the flail mower li fted of the ground (and not the skids).

RAKES ADJUSTMENT
The function of the rear rakes is to obtain a more fine crushing by holding the material within the shred-
ding room.
It is therefore recommend to perform the racks adjustment immediately after executing the cutting height
adjustment.
To do this follow these steps:
• remove the cotter pin (1) from one of the rakes;
• push the rake downwards in order to retain more material inside the shredding chamber and obtain
a more fine crushing. Vice-versa, pull the rake upwards to retain less material inside the shredding
chamber and to obtain a more coarse crushing;
• insert the split pins (1) on the hole of the rake closest to rear bar, after setting the desired position;
• repeat the procedures adjusting all other rakes to the same height of the first one.
