Set-up Instructions
Checking Rotor Speed
NOTE:
To order a Diagnostic Gauge Kit use # N16340.
NOTE:
The electronic or mechanical tachometer shown
above is not supplied with the Timber Ax.
Use an electronic or mechanical tachometer (1) (access
(2) thru the bearing guard) to check the rotor speed.
Test the rotor RPM with loader engine at full throttle.
See “Motor and Sheave Selection Chart” on page 28
for rotor RPM. If it is outside this recommended range,
it may be necessary to disconnect the Timber Ax and
test the hydraulic output of the loader with a flow meter
to see if it corresponds with the factory specifications.
Checking Rotor Rotation
Raise the Timber Ax off the ground and place blocks (1)
underneath the skids. Lower the Timber Ax down on the
blocks.
Engage the loader auxiliary hydraulics, the rotor should
start rotating in a reverse direction. The rotation should
be counterclockwise as viewed from the right side of the
Timber Ax.
NOTE:
If the rotor is rotating backward, reverse the
quick couplers (not supplied) on the Timber Ax
hydraulic hoses. Re-install the couplers (not
supplied) on the loader and test for correct rotor
rotation.
