OPERATION

9. ROTOR OPERATING SPEED

Ensure that the rotor control lever is in the ‘STOP’ position before engaging the PTO shaft. Allow the oil to circulate for a minute or so before operating the armhead levers. Position the flail head in a safe position, increase the engine speed to a high idle and move rotor control lever to ‘START’. After initial surging the rotor will run at even speed.

10. FORWARD SPEED

The material being cut determines tractor forward speed. Forward speed can be as fast as that which allows the flail head sufficient time to cut the vegetation properly.

Too fast a speed will be indicated by over frequent operation of the breakaway system, a fall off in tractor engine revs and a poor finish to the work leaving ragged uncut tufts and poorly mulched cuttings.

11. HIGH VOLTAGE CABLES

Depending on the voltage of the cables and the weather conditions there is a danger of electric flashover if the head or arms approach the cables too closely.

ALWAYS MAINTAIN A MINIMUM CLEARANCE

DISTANCE OF 10 FEET WHEN OPERATING NEAR HIGH VOLTAGE CABLES.

If in any doubt consult your local electric company regarding a safe procedure for work.

OVERHEAD OBSTRUCTIONS Always be aware that the machine is approximately 13 ft. high when folded - take care when maneuvering in areas with overhead obstacles especially power cables, low bridges etc. or when entering buildings.
