Pins & Bushes
All main pivot points are furnished with replaceable pins and bushes. If there are any
signs of wear, these must be replaced. All parts are available from Spearhead Parts
Department.
The pins are secured with a nut and bolt through the head to prevent turning. A
retaining washer and screw are clamped to the base of the pin to prevent spreading
and must be kept tight (use locking compound).
Storage
Before storing away, thoroughly wash the machine, removing all traces of grass and
dirt.
Great care must be taken when washing with high-pressure hoses, do not hold the
water jet close to the paintwork. Use steam cleaners with caution, be sure to remove
all detergents to avoid any discolouring or damage to paint. Grease all grease points
until fresh grease shows. Slacken rotor drive belts (where fitted).
It is important where possible to store undercover to protect against rain and sunlight.
Always ensure a firm level surface.
Smear grease on all areas vulnerable to corrosion, in particular the chrome on the ramrods.
Remember: regular maintenance will greatly increase the life of the machine
.

adjustment on your machine, ensure the engine has stopped and t
he key is removed. PTO is disengaged, handbrake secure, and t
he head is firmly on the ground.
Warning

bushes and wear pads.
Warning
Regularly inspect the slew post and tank areas and remove any hedge
trimmings which may have become lodged there. Failure to do this may
cause damage to the machine’s main lift ram.
