Adjusting space between tine conditioner’s mask and its shaft
(Models:
KDC S
)
Depending on size and thickness of the mowing grass, it may be necessary to adjust the tine
conditioner’s mask. The higher and thicker the grass, the bigger the space between the tine
conditioner’s mask and its shaft should be. Proper adjustment should be based on experience, in so
as not to block the tine conditioner and not to activate the friction clutch of PTO shaft. The mask is
regulated as shown in

Replacing tine conditioner’s tines
(Models:

Prior to commencing any operation, check condition of bolts on which flails are set, as well as
condition of flails themselves. If flails or bolts are worn or damaged, it is necessary to replace them.
Bear in mind, that flails should be replaced in pairs (opposite) featuring the same weight in
order to keep shaft well balanced.
Not keeping the shaft well balanced may lead to premature
wear of the bearings and the shaft.
