RUNNING UP PROCEDURE
RMB 1445/1660/1865 - With Flail Head ONLY
1.Ensure that the rotor control is in “STOP” position, start the tractor, engage PTO and allow the oil to circulate for about 5 minutes before operating the arms.
2.Operate the armhead levers through their complete range ensuring that all movements are functioning correctly.
3.Check that the flail nuts and bolts are tight. Place the flail head at a safe position and move the rotor control to “ON” position. After initial fluctuation due to priming, the rotor should settle to a steady speed. Increase PTO speed to approximately 360 RPM and run for a further five minutes before engaging and stopping tractor.
4.Check the hose routing and observe that they are free from any pinching, chafing, straining or kinks. Recheck the oil level in the tank and top up as necessary.
