PTO SHAFTPTO SHAFT MEASUREMENTMeasure the PTO shaft and cut to thedimension shown – the finished length of thePTO shaft should be 75mm (3”) less than themeasured distance ‘A’ - between tractorshaft and gearbox stub shaft - to enablefitting.NOTE: For subsequent use with differenttractors measure again, there must be aminimum shaft overlap of 150mm (6”).Fit PTO in position and attach the torquechains to a convenient location to preventthe shaft guards from rotating.PTO SHAFT LENGTH ADJUSTMENT1. Shorten outer plastic tube to 40mmless than the shortest envisaged shaftlength.2. Remove the marked tube.3. Remove same length from innerplastic tube and metal shaft profiles(inner and outer).4. De-burr all edges and remove ‘swarf’to ensure smooth operation.Approximate overlap length of PTO shaft with machine lowered to the ground ▲Approximate gap length of PTO protection tube with machine in working position ▲Fit torque chains to shaft guards to prevent rotation ►9
SETTING UP AND ADJUSTMENTThe height of cut is dependent on workingconditions and volume of material. The cuttingheight can be regulated with the hydraulicsystem on the tractor and/or rear rolleradjustment – see photo opposite.The minimum height of cut should be between1 – 3cm.NOTE: The machine must always run on therear roller not the side skids – side skids are aprotection feature and in normal workingconditions remain clear of the ground.Do not allow the rotor flails to contact theground - set roller height to allow a minimumflail to ground clearance of 1 to 3cm.FLAILSAs standard, the machine is equipped with Hammer type flails, but as an option can befitted with Y-blade flails. The hammer type flails are more suited to harder working with theability to cut materials up to 45mm (1¾”) diameter. Y-blade flails can cut up to 30mm (1¼”)diameter material – these figures are under normal use and may differ depending on thetype and nature of the material being cut.The design of the mower is such that during work the rotor unit cuts the material andprojects it upwards into the frame, as the material falls back into the rotor it is cut againseveral times until it is small enough to be discharged from the rear of the machine.Hammer Flails10Y-Blade FlailsThe rotor unit should be inspected on a daily basis prior to work to check for damaged ormissing flails – always replace damaged or missing flails immediately. Flail bolts should bechecked for tightness on a regular basis and re-tightened as required before attempting touse the machine.WARNING: Checking of rotor components should only be carried out with tractors engine switchedoff, starting key removed and the PTO shaft disconnected. Always ‘prop up’ the machine usingsuitable supports before attempting to inspect or work on components underneath it.
