Page 19

CAUTION

„Always sit in power unit seat when operating controls or starting engine. Securely fasten seat belt, place transmission in neutral, engage brake, and ensure all other controls are disengaged before starting power unit engine.

„Always comply with all state and local lighting and marking requirements.

„Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head; and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.

RUBBER FLAPS OR BELTING

All units are equipped with front shield flaps or belting along the front of the frame. The shield flaps stop or deflect trash, stones, or other debris picked up by the flails.

Be sure the shield flaps or belting are in good condition for operation. Replace if damaged, torn, or missing.

PREPARING FOR OPERATION

1.Pull into the field and position the unit in a level area.

2.Lower into operating position.

3.Set the 3-point so the quick hitch is vertical and the floating upper mast is forward.

4.Use stroke control spacer on four cylinders to set cutting height.

Be sure the floating mast is free to slide in its mounting frame to allow the machine to follow ground contours. Refer to Figure 8.

FLAIL KNIVES

The shredder is factory equipped with “L” or cup type flails. The two types are interchangeable.

Flail Height

Set the unit to give a flail height of at least 3 to 6 inches (75 to 150 mm) above the ground. This will minimize the amount of stones and dirt picked up by the flails under all operating conditions. (See Balance Statement, page 5.)

NOTE: To avoid unnecessary wear on knives and related parts, never set the unit lower than the recom- mended setting. (See Balance Statement, page 5.)

SET OPERATING HEIGHT

Use stroke control spacers. The number and thickness should be equal on each cylinder to keep shredder level.

“L” Flails

“L” flails (Figure 10) work best when trash or crop resi- due is standing.

Cup Flails

Cup flails (Figure 11) can pick up material from the ground and work best in matted trash conditions.

The standard cup flail is 11 inches (279 mm) long and is used for most applications. Optional 7 and 9 inch (177 and 228 mm) flails are available to match the tip position to ground contour.

Attach optional cup flails as follows, making sure that knives at 180° match (see Figure 9) (see Balance Statement, page 5):
