14.9.3 Lower To Upper Crossbeater Chain (9500 &
1010 models)
For the lower to upper crossbeater chain, open the
guard, slacken the tensioner roller mounting bolt in the
centre of the roller and turn the tension screw on the
adjuster clockwise until the deflection midway between
the sprockets is correct, as listed in Table 5. Retighten
the roller mounting bolt and close the guard.
Table 5. Chain Deflection.
13.10 Swivel Chute
The chute is rotated by means of a gear and ring gear. It
is important that this is well greased. To apply grease to
the ring gears there are 4 grease nipples on the mounting
flange.
The deflector ram has 2 grease nipples, one on each
pivot bush.
13.11 Hydraulics
Before attempting to dismantle any of the hydraulic
system, the tailgate and deflectors must be fully
lowered to prevent injury from the unexpected
lowering of these components.
If the oil becomes contaminated then this can result in
failure of the hydraulic circuit. An inline pressure filter is
available if oil contamination is regularly happening.
Where an inline pressure filter is fitted, the element should
be replaced annually. To replace the element, remove the
guard covering the hydraulic valve on the front of the
machine and unscrew the filter canister. Replace the
element, retighten the canister, pressurise the system,
inspect for any leaks from the canister and fit valve guard.
13.12 Electric Controls For Solenoid Valve
Before maintaining any part of the electronic
controls and wires, disconnect the 12v supply.
Failure to do so may result in damage to the
electronic circuit controlling the bed chain speed.
It is recommended that the controls are repaired by a
competent person. Please contact Teagle Machinery
Ltd if repairs are required.
The electric controls require no maintenance and it is
imperative that no part of the system is ever sprayed with
a moisture repelling agent such as WD40.
When the machine is not being used it is recommended
that the control desk is stored safely away from the
machine in a dry location or under the cover provided on
the front of the machine.
The plug on the end of the
machine cable should be kept stored in the bracket
provided to keep it clean and safe from damage.
If problems are experienced with either the hydraulic
system, cable or electric controls, please contact Teagle
Machinery Ltd. for advice as a separate manual is
available to cover troubleshooting and repair. Alternatively
manuals can be viewed on the Teagle Machinery website
by joining the owners club and registering your machine
serial number.

13.13 Slip Clutch
13.13.1 Slip Clutch Maintenance
The condition of the slip clutch should be checked
monthly and before use if the machine has not been used
for a period of time. Moisture can cause the friction discs
to seize onto clutch plates, this results in the driveline of
the machine and the tractor not being protected from
overload.
The clutch should be stripped apart, the friction discs
removed and the friction surfaces of the clutch cleaned.
The clutch pack should then be reassembled to give the
correct torque setting.
Detailed instructions on maintaining your slip clutch can
be viewed on the Teagle Machinery website by joining the
owners club and registering your machine serial number.
13.13.2 Slip Clutch Slips Repeatedly
If the clutch slips repeatedly for no apparent reason there
are a number of things to be check:
Firstly check there is no physical blockage of the
discharge rotor or other mechanical fault in the driveline.
Check that the clutch linings do not show signs of
damage or excessive wear. If so, they should be
replaced. When new they are 3mm (1/8") thick.
Check that the clutch pack is correctly set to give the
correct torque setting.
If the clutch continues to slip it should be adjusted as
follows.
1. Remove the guard fitted to the rotor gearbox.
2. Fit the PTO shaft with the slip clutch at the machine
end.
3. Insert a piece of wood through the discharge chute
and position it such that it prevents the rotor from
turning.
4.
Insert a steel bar through the rear PTO yoke and
use a spring balance to obtain the correct torque
setting. The clutch should just slip at a torque of
1200 Nm (900 lbft) - equal to a force of 1000N at
1.2m (225 lb at 4ft) from the centre of the yoke.
Adjust the clutch as necessary. (The slip clutch is
set to the minimum torque setting when
manufactured).

be viewed on the Teagle Machinery website by joining the
owners club and registering your machine serial number.
13.14 PTO Shaft
Access to the grease nipples for the PTO shaft joints is
via a hole in the cone.
