ADJUSTING THE CUTTING HEIGHT

Loosen the four ground roller bracket locknuts. Loosen the adjustment rod locknut and turn the adjustment rod to adjust the cutting height. The cutting height is indicated by the end of the adjustment rod on the cutting height decal. When cutting height has been achieved, tighten the ground roller bracket locknuts and the adjustment rod locknut securely. Be sure both sides of the flail are adjusted the same.

ADJUSTING STANDARD DUTY CUT HEIGHT

To adjust the cutting height of the standard duty flail head the two nuts on the roller shaft brackets must be taken off and moved to the desired location/ height. Be sure that both sides of the shaft are adjusted to corresponding holes so the shaft remains level.

BALL VALVES

The ball valve at the hydraulic reservoir may need to be closed during certain maintenance or repair procedures. THE BALL VALVE MUST BE OPEN (handle parallel with valve) WHEN TRACTOR IS RE- STARTED OR PUMP IS COUPLED TO MOTOR OR P.T.O.! Failure to do so will result in component failure!
