Broken Flails
If a flail gets broken or damaged, the cutting head will start to vibrate. Stop the machine
immediately and replace the flail. Under no circumstances should the hedger be operated
with broken or missing flails.
Demounting
Always demount the machine on firm level ground; demounting is carried out using the
machines hydraulic system.
With the hedger arms in the transport position, un-hitch the oil tank and park the tractor so
that the oil tank is alongside and central to the back wheel.
Ensure that both taps for
hydracushion are turned off.
Reconnect the pressure and return hoses to the tractor using the extension hoses and
connect up the control cable through the left side door or cab window, to allow enough
length for the demounting procedure.
Fit the parking legs using the bolts securing the front guard.
Undo the bolts securing socket to underframe, lower head squarely onto the ground close
to the tractor, power the socket and arms off the underframe using the cutting head ram.
Fully close 1st ram and fold arms up tight.
Remove hoses from tractor and plug/cap ends. Clean and plug/cap motor hoses and stow
away neatly.
Mounting
Mounting the machine is a reversal of above.
Ensure the socket has seated squarely on the underframe plugs before re-fitting the
securing bolts. Check bolts after first hours of operation for security.
WARNING! Keep Clear of Overhead Power Lines.
