OPERATION

9.1 Powered Slew

The slew feature allows a 95° arc of powered arm movement on the working side from right angles to the tractor to 5º beyond the direct line astern.

The feature is required to place the machine in the transport position but can also be used to sweep the arm to and fro whilst cutting awkward areas and corners thus avoiding the need to constantly re-position the tractor. To operate in this way 'SLEW' must be selected on the control assembly.

If breakaway occurs the slew motion must be reversed to allow the slew breakaway relief valve to re seat and the ram to become operable again.

Extra care must be taken when working in 'SLEW’ mode with the reach fully in – IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE FLAILHEAD TO HIT THE TRACTOR OR MACHINE FRAME.
