BE-EFGCXXXF USER MANUAL
1. On a flat piece of ground, attached the Flail Mower to the Tractor using the three point linkage.
2. Use a solid adjustable top link.
3. Lower three point linkage to its lowest position.
4. With the roller at the rear in contact with the ground, adjust the length of the top link so that the lower edge
at the side of the flail mower is parallel with the ground.
5. Rotate the blade drum by hand so that a row of blades hang vertically towards the ground.
6. Measure the clearance between the bottom of the extended blades and the ground:
• Minimum 50mm
• Note in rough or lumpy paddocks the clearance needs to be increased to ensure that the blades don't
impact the ground in operation.
7. Adjust the roller height to increase or decrease the blade clearance as required.
8. Go through steps 4 to 7 until the required clearance is achieved.
When the Flail Mower has been set up with the required tolerances:
Operate the Flail Mower with tractor in low range and the PTO delivering 540 RPM.
FLAIL MOWER ADJUSTMENT
Loosen screw (A) and (B) that locks the support shaft and loosen the counter nut (C).
Loosen the screws that lock the gearbox on the mounting plate (D).
Adjust the drive belt tension. The correct belt tension is achieved when the belt can be deflected by the belt
thickness about 10mm at the center point between the pulleys.
Align the gearbox so the drive shaft is parallel with the body.
Use a straight edge to make sure the belt pulleys are in-line and running true.
If mis-angled, call your dealer or service agent for technical support.
Fit safety covers and tighten the mounting bolts before operating.
