Maintenance
Before carrying out maintenance or service work:
Stop the engine and wait for the cutting disc to stop rotating.
Allow the machine to cool
Find a dry, clean, level area.
Study and follow the published service procedures.
Do not work on a machine with loose clothing that could get
caught in moving parts.
-
Check for any loose nuts and bolts.
-
Check the belt tension. The belts will stretch when
they are new.
-
Grease the cutter shaft bearings. Ensure not to
overfill with grease as the seals could pop out of the
housing.
For engine maintenance refer to the Engine service manual
document.
Tensioning/ Replacing the Belt
Remove the belt cover and check the tension of the belt. To
tension the belt, loosen the locking nuts and reposition the
rose joints, which gives the correct tension on the belts.
Adjusting the Anvil
Remove the inlet chute and loosen the two bolts holding
the anvil. Set the distance from the edge of the anvil to the
cutting blade to 2mm. Retighten the bolts and refit the
chute.
