operation.

DAILY (8-10 working hours)
!
Grease Main Rotor bearings (x2).
!
Grease Roller bearings (x2).
!
Grease Wheel bearings (x2).
FLAIL BLADES
!
The condition of the flail blades should be inspected daily. Damaged flail blades cause
imbalance in the rotor and in turn, will cause serious damage to the mower,
which is
specifically excluded from our Warranty Conditions.
!
If the mower begins to vibrate, stop work immediately and investigate. Almost certainly the
cause will be damaged flail blades, or foreign objects around the flail rotor.
FLAIL BLADES - CHANGING
!
When fitting new flail blades, unhitch the mower from the tractor/ATV and lift the mower up
enough to access the blades, (preferably with a hoist or mechanical lifting equipment). Remove
the damaged flail blades and replace.
!
It is important that the rotor remains balanced. Always fit new bolts and nuts when replacing
the flails and preferably fit a full set. If only one or two flails are being replaced, they should be
fitted opposite to each other on the rotor, to keep the rotor balanced.
