Teagle Tomahawk 7100, Operator'S Manual

Page: 18 / 40

Its use for shredding other materials is not recommended
without first seeking further advice from Teagle Machinery
Ltd.
WARNING. The machine must never be run with
any of the chute components removed.
Unapproved chute modifications should not be
carried out as Safety Regulations may be infringed.
6. USE ON THE PUBLIC HIGHWAY
If the machine is to be transported along the public
highway (any road where the public have access) behind
the tractor, it may be necessary to fit lights to comply with
local road traffic legislation, as the machine is likely to
obscure the tractor rear light units.
Suitable lighting kits are available from your local supplier
or may be obtained by contacting Teagle Machinery Ltd.
The Tomahawk (except the Tomahawk 1010), when fitted
with a drawbar and axle is classed as a trailed implement
and as such does not require brakes when used in the
United Kingdom provided the maximum speed limit of 20
mph is observed. For all other countries local regulations
must be observed.
Please contact the relevant government department to
ensure local regulations are complied with.
Failure to comply with road traffic legislation may lead to
prosecution by local law enforcement agencies and could
also result in a road traffic accident.
In addition the overall length of the mounted Tomahawk
7100/7150 will require marker boards to be fitted. The
requirements vary according to whether the tailgate is
raised or lowered (see Table 2). Further information is
given in the “Road vehicles (Authorisation of Special
Types) (General) Order 2003” and “Road Vehicles
(Construction and Use) Regulations 1986”.

IMPORTANT. Teagle Machinery Ltd are able to
supply machines that have been type approved to
Regulation (EU) No 167/2013 that are suitable for
use on the public highway throughout the European
Economic area.
7. PREPARATION OF THE MACHINE
Remove the PTO shaft and any other loose items from
the body of the machine.
8. PREPARATION OF THE TRACTOR
WARNING. For good visibility down both sides of
the machine when working and reversing, the tractor
should be fitted with mirrors.
The minimum PTO power required to drive a Tomahawk
varies with model as shown in Table 3.
Table 3. Minimum tractor horsepower
However, the suitability of any particular tractor will
depend upon:
a) The size and weight of the bale to be spread
b) The availability of front counter weights
c) Whether the machine is to be used to transport
bales along the road.
The machine is designed to use the standard 540 rpm
PTO shaft.
NOTE. The hydraulic valve block requires an unrestricted
return with a maximum return line pressure of 25 bar
(360 psi) measured at the outlet port of the valve block.
This is required to ensure correct operation of the valve
and to reduce heating of the oil.
Where the machine is to be operated on a tractor with
closed centre hydraulics and the flow can not be
controlled, the solenoid
valve may be adapted with a
closed centre plug, details of which can be obtained from
Teagle Machinery Ltd.
8.1 Cable Valve Controls
The cable control unit mounting bracket should be fitted
inside the cab so that it is conveniently situated for the
operator. Structural members of the cab must not be
drilled or welded in order to site the bracket.
8.2 Solenoid Valve Control Desk & Junction Box
The control desk for the solenoid valve is supplied with a
suction cup attachment. This should be fitted in the cab
in a suitable position that is convenient for the operator
on a smooth, clean dust free surface.
The electric control supply cable should be connected to
the tractor’s auxiliary 3 pin socket. Should a socket not
be available then the control desk must be wired directly
to the battery. Remove the connector plug to reveal the
brown and blue wires, brown is positive, blue is
negative. Wire directly to the battery with a suitable lead
and insulated connectors. A power lead with a 3 pin
female connector is available (part number SC3598).
NOTE. If the supply cable is connected to the battery
with the wrong polarity the control desk and junction box
will not power up and the Bluetooth connection LED will
not illuminate.
If the fuse on the power lead to the junction box should
blow this will be indicated by the red LED illuminating.
CAUTION. Under no circumstances remove the
fuse holder or use fuses with a higher rating than
7.5amps.
Warranty will be invalidated if this
occurs.
The control desk will not turn on until the Bluetooth
connection with the machine has been established, the
LED stops flashing and is illuminated.
