Topper shaft and flails

The condition of the topper shaft and flails must be checked every day. Worn topper
flails, fixing bolts and securing materials, e.g. roll pins, must be replaced timely.
Proceed as follows:
– Switch off the machine and prevent it from restart.

– On the KS 475, fold the left cover ( 3 ) all the way forward and secure the right cover
( 4 ) with the tab ( 5 ). On the KS 490, secure both covers with the tabs.
– Clean the area of the topper shaft and check visually the shaft, the flails and the
securing materials. Replace the worn parts in good time.
– Close both covers and lock them with four clamp closures. Secure each side with
the left safety screws ( 1 ) and the right ( 2 ) on the inner clamp closures.
– If any parts have been replaced in the area of the topper shaft, a test run must be
performed.
