Adjusting the space between tine conditioner’s mask and its shaft
(Models: KDF S/SL)
Depending on size and thickness of the mowing grass, there may be a necessity to adjust
the mask of the conditioner. The higher and thicker grass, the bigger the space between
conditioner’s mask and its shaft should be. Proper adjustment should be based on the experience,
in order not to block the conditioner and not to activate the friction clutch of PTO shaft. The way
how the mask is regulated is shown in Fig. 23.

Replacing the conditioner’s tines
(Models: KDF S/SL)
Each time, prior to operation, check condition of rubber holders in conditioner's flails along
with screws, on which flails are mounted (KDF SL).
If rubber holders and plastic or metal flails are worn or damaged, replace them. Bear in mind
that flails should be replaced in pairs (opposite) featuring the same weight (metal flails) in
order to keep shaft well balanced. Not keeping the shaft well balanced may lead to premature
wearing of bearings as well as the shaft itself.
