14.3 REPLACING HARROW / MOWING ROTOR WITH SWEEPING
ROTOR
In addition to harrowing and mowing functions, the Turf Tidy machine also has a sweeping
function. As the RPM for a sweeping machine is lower than for a harrowing machine, a different
rotor must be fitted to the Turf Tidy and the drive sheave has to be reversed. This takes place
according to the following procedure
(See Fig.16)
:
!! Ensure that the Turf Tidy / tractor combination is properly blocked and
cannot move independently !!
!! Ensure that the PTO shaft on the Turf Tidy has been disconnected !!
1. Remove the securing pin 1 and clip on both sides.
2. Activate the hydraulic outlet of the tractor to raise and tilt the collection tray.
3. Block the collection tray from tilting by placing the securing pin 1 on both sides through the
hole 2 in the collection tray and tube and securing it with the clip.
!! Ensure that the blocking hook 17 is inside the tube !!
!! Ensure that that tractor/Turf Tidy is properly blocked and cannot
move independently !!
4. If necessary, lower head 3 by activating the hydraulic outlet of the tractor.
5. Remove the nuts 4 and the safety guard 5.
6. Remove the v-belts 8.
7. Remove the large drive sheave 9 by releasing the taper lock tube 10.
8. Remove the small drive sheave 11 by releasing the taper lock tube 12.
9. Release the grease nipple bracket 19.
10. Loosen the bolts 21 slightly on both sides of the machine until the tension has just been
released.
11. Remove the bolts 13 on both sides of the machine.
12. Lift head 3 slightly by activating the hydraulic output of the tractor.
13. Remove the rotor 14 by sliding it downwards.
14. Lift head 3 slightly further by activating the hydraulic output of the tractor.
15. Remove the rotor 14.
16. Fit the brush rotor 15 and slide this upwards until it reaches the stop 16.
17. Fix the rotor in place on both sides of the machine using the bolts 13.
18. Securely tighten the bolts 21 on both sides of the machine.
19. Fit the bracket 19 and fix the grease nipple into place.
20. Slide the large drive sheave 9 with the taper lock tube 22 (648.302.517) onto the brush
rotor 15.
21. Slide the small drive sheave 11 with the taper lock tube 23 (648.352.012) onto the drive
shaft.
22. Fit the v-belts 8.
23. Align the drive sheaves until they are fully in line and the v-belts are positioned centrally on
the belt tensioner 20. Secure the drive sheaves onto the axles.
24. Tension the v-belts as described in section 14.0.
25. Turn the rotor a number of times and ensure that all parts are properly secured and aligned.
26. Fit the safety guard 5 and secure using bolts 14.
27. Remove the securing pins 1 on both sides and lower the collection tray by operating the
hydraulic output of the tractor.
28. Insert the securing pin into the holes 18 on both sides and secure using the clip.
29. The machine is now ready to use.
