2.0 FIRST SETUP
The machine is delivered on a pallet. To install the machine behind a tractor, handle as follows (see
fig.1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 )
1.
Remove all boxes from the machine, which contain knives, bearings, safety bars, bolts/nuts and a
jack.
2.
Firmly connect a sling 2 of approximately 3.5 mtr (11 ‘) with D- shackles to the holes 1 at each side
of the machines as shown in Fig.1.
3.
Lift the machine slowly. Be aware that the machine may be unstable during the tip over, however it
will not drop on the ground.
4.
Lay the machine horizontal on a flat floor, as shown in Fig.2.
5.
Remove the two bolts 5 that hold the main rotor. Check that the main rotor lays on the ground.
When both bolts 5 are out, the rotor can be rolled back till it is in position 6.
6.
Slowly lift the machine again, see Fig.3., till the rotor can be rolled away.
7.
The deep slit knives ( standard delivered with machine), can be mounted on the rotor, as shown in
Fig.4. In Fig.4. four knives are evenly fitted at a disk. On the next disk, the knives should be
mounted with an offset. In Fig.4 this is indicated with a number on the knives. One means the first
disk etc. Mount the knives exactly the same way as drawn in Fig.4. For more information on knives
and the assembly, see Chapter 12.
8.
Lower the machine back on the ground. Remove the Pallet and connect the machine to a tractor.
(Leave the rear roller fixed).
9.
Lift the unit with the tractor as much as possible. Shorten the toplink when necessary. Roll the rotor
with mounted knives under the machine. Assemble the rotor bearing on the rotor ends and use the
bolts/ washers 14 and nuts to firmly mount the rotor to the main frame. When everything fits well,
tighten the grub screw of the bearings.
10.
The last items to assemble are the safety bars 17, that are identical. They should be on. Use two
bolts/ nuts at each side.
11.
Slide the jack 13 upside down on and lock it with the lock pin.
•
Be very careful during all operations and do not take any unsafe steps.
•
Be aware of the knives during handling. They are sharp and can seriously hurt you. Stay away
with your hands and feet as much as possible. Use protection gloves.
•
If you prefer, you can exchange or mount the knives, via the top cover gaps. Mount the rotor
first in the unit, remove the two front or rear covers and assemble the knives from the top.
LOCK the machine.
@ If the tractor can’t lift high enough, use the sling again or assemble the knives afterwards, see above.
@ The position of the blades at the rotor and the position of the rotor in the main frame is critical for the
final job done. So check this carefully with the figures 1 to 6 and Chapter 12.
