2. Locking the tank in position for marking:
The tank of the ARROW must be clipped firmly in the down
position before marking commences. This is done using the
hook and lug moulding on the side of the tank. Ensure that the
centre transfer wheel engages properly with the front
aluminium transfer wheel on the grass surface and remains
engaged during use.
NOTE: It is important that the tank is clipped tightly onto
the chassis. Failure to do so may result in inaccurate line
definition and may cause the transfer wheel to slip.
3. Scraper:
The ARROW comes with a scraper unit underneath and behind the front aluminium wheel. The
scraper should be located in place prior to marking to ensure that no grass clipping or leaves etc can
be picked up by the front aluminium wheel and returned to the tank. This will not damage the
machine in any way but may affect the quality of the finished line if grass clippings are allowed onto
the centre transfer wheel.
The scraper is mounted on a pivot that will allow it to be adjusted closer and further away from the
aluminium wheel. This also allows it to be rotated so that the scraper can be set to effectively scrape
the whole surface of the aluminium wheel as it travels past the scraper.
At optimum position, the scraper should be just
‘skimming’ the front aluminium wheel. It is not
advisable to fit the scraper too tightly to front
aluminium wheel, as this may cause drag and affect
machine performance. Unlock the tank and put it into
the upright position to access the scraper unit.
Note:
Always take care if line marking liquid is
present in the tank when raising the tank into any
other position other than fully down.
4. Centre transfer wheel guide:
The centre transfer wheel is designed to roll freely to prevent any drag or resistance when marking
lines. The centre transfer wheel is factory set to be perfectly in line with the internal and external
aluminium transfer wheels.
