The drum’s web plate thickness and positions can vary slightly; because of this, the quantity of
cutter and spacers may need to be adjusted, ensure that the same amount of cutters and spacers
are fitted to opposite shaft to keep the drum balanced. These examples are for illustrative
purposes only.
Method as per Single Web Drum;
Insert a flail shaft into the drum from the left side, in position 1, so that its end is in the middle of the
short row, start to load with a single spacer first, fit the 9 cutters alternating with a spacer until the last
cutter, pushing the fail shaft further through as the shaft fills, in this case end the short row with 1 single
spacer.
Continue with the long row on the same shaft, but no spacer is fitted before or after the last cutter (See
example below)
Rotate the drum away from you to complete shaft 2,3 and 4.
Finally secure the end plates with the four countersunk screws and four new locknuts.
Example for Position 1: - (Short Row) 1 x spacer, followed by 9 x cutters and with a single spacer after
each cutter, but ending with a single spacer after the last cutter. Continue with the long row, no spacer,
followed with 12 x cutters with a single spacer after each cutter, ending with no spacer after the last.
2.3 Pre-Start Check (Daily)
Check all bolts and screws for tightness. Ensure that all fittings are secure.
Check the drive belt for correct tightness. There should be approximately 13mm (1/2") of free play
when the belt is depressed in the middle position between the two pulleys. To check and set the belt
tension, refer to the
Belt installation & Adjustment section.
Check condition of Cutter Drum Assembly and replace components as required.
Check engine oil level. (Ensure that the engine is level prior to carrying out this check). If the engine oil
level is low, refill with the relevant motor oil recommended in the engine manufacturers operating and
maintenance manual.
Check that there is sufficient petrol in the fuel tank. (Only refill when the engine is cold).
Air Models ; The air pressure regulator is preset at the factory to 90psi with a blanking bleed plug fitted,
the air pressure regulators gauge will only show approximately 40psi (2.75bar) when the machine is in
use, this is correct. Always clear the air hose before connection to the machine. Ensure that no moisture
(condensation) is present in the air hose. Check the security of all hoses clamps and fittings, and that the
air pressure is correct at 90psi (6.3bar). Check that there is sufficient air tool oil in the lubricator’s
reservoir. The air motor requires a minimum of 180cfm of free air supply (not displaced, as given by
some compressor manufactures). In particularly cold weather it is recommended that a proprietary anti-
freeze lubricating oil is used.
Electric Models ;
The Ferox 200 is supplied with a specially commissioned electric motors and starter switch assembly.
Each unit is fully tested and the overload relays have been calibrated and set according to the
manufactures specifications. In the event of malfunction on a new machine, the owner should first check
that the power supply on site is suitable and adequate. All cables should be fully uncoiled and never left
wrapped around cable reels or tied in loops. The starter box is fitted with a safety feature to protect the
motor and relays from damage. The starter boxes are preset and under no circumstances should they be
