SETTING UP
In order to get the best output and longest possible years of service from
your COLLARD trimmer, the following operations should be performed prior to
using it for the first time :
Hydraulic checks :
Reference oil : Norm AFNOR NF 48-603 HV (see data sheet)
(example : EQUIVIS ZS 68)
(viscosity at 40°C : 68 mm²/s ; viscosity at 100°C : 11 mm²/s)
Change the oil at least once per year. Make sure that the oil filter is clean.
If necessary, depending on the type of oil filter used, clean or change it.
IMPORTANT : the high technical complexity of the hydraulic components used
on your unit, requires that the oil be perfectly clean.
Parts which suffer damage due to a polluted circuit will
not be covered by a guarantee.
Carefully check the condition of the pump. It must be able to handle the pressure
required by the unit and provide the necessary flow. (See the relevant data
sheet).
The oil flow provided by the pump should not be lower than the flow prescribed
on the data sheet in order to ensure a minimal speed rotation of the blades,
and thus guaranteeing an optimal quality of cut.
Never exceed the maximum level (flow : 60 L/min – 15.9 GPM)
If the maximum flow delivered by the tractor exceeds the maximum
acceptable flow by the machine, if this flow is not adjustableand if the
pump of the tractor can not control its flow (reduce its cubic capacity
under the effect of the pressure), it will be necessary to install a device of
regulation imperatively. In case of doubt, contact your dealer.
If the surplus of flow is not controlled, an overheating of the hydraulic
circuit occurs very quickly, then a significant deterioration of the
hydraulic system of the tractor and of the machine.
