OPERATION

5.2 Connecting the Side Flails to the Tractor

1.Install the Draft Beam onto the Main Frame.

2.Raise the Draft Beam to line up with the the ‘ears’ on the Side Flail and install Pins and hardware.

3.Connect the Linkage and Cylinder to the Side Flail for a Combo Lift set-up or route and connect the cable to the Side Flail if it’s a Cable Lift set-up.

4.Route and connect the hydraulic lines to the cylinders and from the Brake Valve to the Side Flail motor.

Do not operate this Equipment with hydraulic oil or fuel leaking. Oil and fuel are explosive and their presence could present a hazard. Do not check for leaks with your hand! High-pressure oil streams from breaks in the line could penetrate the skin and cause tissue damage including gangrene. To check for a hose leak, SHUT the unit ENGINE OFF and remove all hydraulic pressure. Wear oil impenetrable gloves, safety glasses and use Cardboard to check for evidence of oil leaks. If you suspect a leak, REMOVE the HOSE and have it tested at a Dealer. If oil does penetrate the skin, have the injury treated immediately by a physician knowledgeable and skilled in this procedure.

Avoid contact with hot surfaces including hydraulic oil tanks, pumps, motors, valves and hose connections. Relieve hydraulic pressure before performing maintenance or repairs. Use gloves and eye protection when servicing hot components. Contact with a hot surface or fluid can cause serious injury from burns or scalding.

DO NOT allow any person under a side mower unless mower is securely locked up or supported. DO NOT approach the Implement unless the Tractor is turned off and all motion has ceased. Never work under the frame work, or any lifted component unless the implement is securely supported or blocked up. A sudden or inadvertent fall by any of these components could cause serious injury or even death.
