SERVICING ROTORS (FLAIL TUBES)

„Do not handle knives with bare hands. Careless or improper handling may result in serious injury.

■Any excessive vibration caused by worn or missing knives or damaged drive components can cause damage to the shredder and personal injury. Excessive vibration can also be transmitted through the hitch mounts and PTO to the tractor resulting in tractor damage.

■Once field operation has been started, it is the responsibility of the owner/operator to monitor and maintain acceptable rotor balance. Refer to Bal- ance Statement, page 5, for details.

NOTICE

■Read Balance Statement, page 5, before replac- ing any knives.

Refer to Replacing Knives, page 30, for knife or knife component replacement.

The Woods Center Drive Flail Shredder has been designed for durability when shredding any type of crop. Some operating conditions will shorten the life of the shredder or components. These include operating too low to the ground or in frequent contact with the ground, and contact with large rocks or other foreign objects. Over time, some types of soils and crops can cause wear or damage to rotor components and affect rotor balance, leading to increased vibration. Contin- ued operation with excessive vibration can damage the shredder, requiring rotor service, removal, or replace- ment.

Factory balanced replacement rotors are available through your local Woods dealer. Contact Woods Tech- nical Service for re-balance options or further details.

Follow the procedure below if rotor removal or replace- ment is required.

CAUTION

„Use a suitable lifting device of sufficient capac- ity. Use adequate personnel to handle heavy com- ponents.

1.Clear the area of any bystanders.

2.Shut off tractor, place all controls in neutral, set parking brake, remove key, and wait for all moving parts to stop.

3.Remove PTO driveline from the shredder.

4.Fully disconnect the shredder from the tractor.

5.Remove wheel arms.

6.Use a hoist, crane, or frame of sufficient capacity to raise the front of the unit and allow the back of the unit to rest on a solid surface (blocks).

7.Leave lifting device attached while working on rotors to prevent tipping.

Removing Components

Refer to Replacing knives, page 30, for knife or knife component replacement.

Refer to Servicing Rotors, page 31, before proceeding with these steps.

1.Follow steps in the previous section to prepare and position shredder. Support each end of the rotor (flail tube) to be removed with a crane or hoist.

2.Remove bearing locking collar (see Figure 35).

3.Remove the six bolts holding the bearing plate to the body assembly.

4.Slide rotor out to disengage from the center drive coupling.

5.Thoroughly clean and inspect gearbox drive couplings for wear and replace if any wear is detected. Also inspect the rubber O-ring for wear or tears and replace if any wear or tears are detected.

6.Remove crossmember from the underside of the shredder, providing access for the removal of the gearbox.

7.Remove gearbox, if damaged. This will require removal of the second rotor (repeat steps 1-5 above).
