Spearhead Outfront Flail

General Operation
Lift buffer adjustment
The lift buffers allow a range of up and down angles to be achieved with the Outfront, to cater for
different terrain and operation conditions. See the figure 5.1.1 for general arrangement of lift buffers.
Figure 5.1.1
To adjust the lift height:
Undo the nut, and remove the buffer adjustment bolt
Rotate the lift buffer plate on the mounting pin until the required hole lines up through the
plates.
Re-insert the bolt, add nut, tighten up to secure.
Lift adjustment effects. When the lower bolt hole is used (illustrated Figure 5.1.1), the
machine will have limited “float” ability over rough ground, but the cowl height and angle is
greater when lifted off of the ground i.e. to raise the machine over a kerb or obstacle. The
opposite is true for the upper hole
– less lift but greater float. This is to allow the user to fine
tune the machine setup for the working conditions as required.
