Inspections before and during use
WARNING!!!
When performing maintenance on the SAMON Haulm Topper always switch the tractor engine off and
remove the key from the ignition.
After switching off the machine, wait until the blades come to a complete halt!
4.1
Checks to be performed before use
•
Check the gear drive for leaks.
•
Check the tyre pressure. (4.5 Bar)
•
Check the length of the PTO shaft. (see 4.2)
•
Check all protective covers and rubbers on the SAMON Haulm Topper for damage.
•
Check the protective covers of the PTO shafts for cracks.
•
Check that the safety chains of the PTO shafts are mounted.
•
Check that the locking clips and safety cords are in place.
•
Check the drive belts for cracks and tears.
•
Check the tension of the drive belt and do so regularly while in use.
•
Check the hydraulic system for damage and leaks.
•
Check the electrical system for damage.
•
Check the blades and fixing bolts of blades for wear.
4.2
Shortening the PTO shaft
If it should appear during inspection that the PTO shaft is too long, it can be shortened as follows:
•
Hitch the machine to the tractor.
•
Position the PTO shafts together as short as possible.
•
Measure distance "A" of the PTO shafts.
•
Measure distance "B" of the PTO shafts.
(See the illustration for the measuring points)
•
Subtract length "A” from length "B"
•
Shorten the PTO shaft with the result (see example)
Calculation example:
A=400 mm
B=450 mm
B(450) - A(400) = 50 + 10
Trimming length = 60 mm
