Rotor Care
Always operate at the correct PTO speed, 540/1000 r.p.m.
Always inspect the condition of flails and bolts on a very regular basis.
Always replace bushes, bolts and nuts when replacing flails.
Always use genuine flails, bolts and nuts. The flails and bolts are made to a
very high standard from a high tensile steel, being fully heat treated
and subjected to rigorous testing in very stringent conditions to comply
with our rigid quality control requirements
Never operate with bolts loose or flails missing.
Never change to a different spec or type of flail, this will immediately put the
rotor out of balance.
Never engage rotor at high PTO speeds.
Remember, the rotor is highly complex and expensive to manufacture, please
treat with care and enjoy the benefits of the Spearhead Rotor.
Warning
Rotor is balanced to be run at PTO speed, do not operate above or below
this speed. Optimum rotor speed 2200r.p.m.
Warning
Never carry out any servicing or maintenance work without first
disengaging the PTO and stopping the tractor.
