REVERSING MOWER ROTATION OF SIDE

AND REAR FLAIL MOWERS

To reverse the rotation of the side and hydraulically driven rear flail, a different idler arm is needed only for side flail. Part No. TF4346 is used in standard rotation. Part No. TF4345 is used in reverse rotation.

When before attempting this procedure be sure all dirt is cleaned away from the motor and around all hose connections. This is to prevent the oil from becoming contaminated. 1-Start by removing the belt shield from the flail mower. 2-Remove the locking and adjusting nut, spring washer and spring from the idler tensioning rod. 3- Disconnect the tensioning rod from the idler arm. 4-Remove the idler arm with the idler pulley attached. 5-Remove the idler pulley from the idler arm and reinstall on the short end of the new idler arm.
