Operating Manual
MAINTENANCE
Prior to any maintenance or adjustment, isolate the power supply.
AFTER USE:
Clean the machine to remove all the build up of dust and surface residue. If using hosepipe or
pressure water take care that water is not directed onto electrical components and switches.
(Note: Motors and switches are not waterproof)
The drive belts are tensioned by sliding the motor forwards to tension the gearbox drive belt
and then adjust the tensioner arm/pulley to tension the front blade drive belt. It is important
that the drive belts are not over tensioned. Serious damage could be caused to the drive
shaft, drive shaft bearings, drive motor and/or gearbox if the belt is excessively tight.
All components should be checked daily for tightness and the drive belt for tension.
Check the individual manufacturer
’s service recommendations for full details on motors and
engines.
BLADE CHANGE
Loosen the blade clamp bolts and slide out the blade. Insert the new blade and tighten the
clamp bolts
Note: The operator should be aware the blades are sharp and use suitable protection
when handling them.
BLADE ANGLE
The angle of the blade can be altered to suit different applications by adjusting the angle of
(part no. 7095) the blade carrier. This procedure is as follows:
a) Loosen the M12 lock nut at the rear of the adjuster bar (part no 7097)
b) Adjust the other M12 nut on the adjuster bar until the required angle of the blade carrier
is reached. Moving this adjuster nut rearward will increase the blade angle.
c) Once the blade angle is adjusted, retighten the lock nut.
BASIC MAINTENANCE/CHECKLIST
:
This checklist should be undertaken every 8hrs to 10hrs -
taking into account the vibrating
action of machine
Firstly remove the outer covers and guard to gain access to check all components
Check the condition of the blade
Check all nuts and bolts for tightness
Check the condition and tension of the belts
Check the plugs and cables for damage.
Grease all the moving parts on the sliding blade mechanism
Check the condition of the bearings.
