MOVING INTO THE TRANSPORT POSITION
When transporting on the highway the arms should be latched securely in the broken back
position and the white tap on the lift ram screwed fully in.
To achieve this position angle the flail head and place one corner of it on the ground. Raise
the latch; drive forward and simultaneously select "lift down". Release the latch and check
that it is fully engaged. Raise and fold the machine into the transport position taking care not
to hit the tractor cab or mudwing. Screw the lift ram in fully to prevent any droop.
MOVING FROM THE TRANSPORT POSITION
Unscrew the lift ram tap fully. Lower the flail head flat to the ground and release the transport
latch, if it does not release take the weight off the latch by easing the tractor forward slightly.
The working position can be achieved by either reversing the tractor or by operating the lift
ram to raise the head which allows the breakaway mechanism to position the flail head for
work.
ENGAGING DRIVE
TI Models
Ensure that the rotor control lever is in the `Stop' position before engaging the PTO shaft.
Allow the oil to circulate for a minute or so before operating the armhead levers. Position the
flail head in a safe position, increase the engine speed to a high idle and move rotor control
lever to `START'. After initial surging the rotor will run at an even speed.
SI Models
Place the flail head at a safe attitude and bring the tractor engine revs to 1000rpm.
Engage the PTO and slowly increase revs until operating speeds are attained.
