Operating Manual 

MAINTENANCE 

 

Prior to any maintenance or adjustment, stop the engine. 

After use:  

Clean the machine to remove all build up of dust and surface residues.  If using a hose 

pipe or pressure washer take care that water is not directed onto the engine and switches. 

Note: 

Engine and switches are not waterproof 

 

Drum removal:  

 

Remove the bolts on the side plate and then screw  two of the bolts back into the two tapped holes 
in the side plate.  Continue winding these bolts in and this will push the side plate off the dowel 
pins. Remove the side plate.  Pull out the cutting drum - the drive shaft may come out with the 
drum assembly as this is only a push fit into the drive bush. 
Fitting a new cutter drum is simply a reversal of the above procedure, a little care must be taken to 
align the drive shaft, cutter drum and support end drive bush. 

EXCESSIVE FORCE IS NOT NEEDED TO REFIT THE CUTTER DRUM.   
 
Cutter Drum Maintenance: 

When changing the cutter drum always check that the flail shafts are not worn with pronounced 
grooves and also  that  the centres  of cutters and spacers are not elongated and beginning to 
"mushroom".  The drum assembly is hitting concrete with great force at over 1,600 times every 
minute!  Expenditure on consumables must be expected and built into all job costing. 
 
While  changing  the  drum,  the  condition  of  the  drive  shaft  and  side  plate  bearings  should  be 
checked.  If any roughness, side play or leakage of grease is detected, then new bearings should 
be fitted.  Lightly oiling the drive shaft will prevent  a build up of rust which could cause difficulty 
when changing the drum.  At the same time check the belt tension and condition, also checking 
the pulley grooves are clean  and undamaged. 
 
The  drive  shaft  is  manufactured  from  high  quality  steel  and then heat  treated to produce the 
special properties required.  The shaft is extremely strong and virtually unbreakable when used as 
intended.  If, however, sideways pressure is exerted on the shaft while not supported at both ends 
then it can be damaged. 
 
With the drum removed, check that the vacuum port is free from blockages and that the dust skirt 
is in good condition. 
 
Remove all build up and deposits of material from the under side of the drum housing.  On certain 
applications, e.g. the removal of damp self levelling compounds, it may be necessary to clean 
away deposits hourly!  Failure to do so could result in overload of the drum assembly, engine and 
the drive belts.
