15Battle Ax Skid Loader OM
Checking Rotor Rotation (Cont’d)
Engage the loader auxiliary hydraulics, the rotor should
start rotating in forward direction. The rotation should
be counterclockwise as viewed from the left side of the
Battle Ax.
NOTE: If the rotor is rotating backward, reverse the quick
couplers (not supplied) on the Battle Ax hydraulic
hoses. Re-install the couplers (not supplied) on
the loader and test for correct rotor rotation.
WARNING:
The Battle Ax can be damaged if
rotor is operated in reverse rotation.
Checking Rotor Speed
Remove right side belt cover. Apply a small piece of
reflective tape (1) to the outer edge of the lower sheave.
Point an electronic (photo) tachometer (2) towards the
edge of the sheave to check the rotor speed.
NOTE: The tachometer shown is not supplied with the
Battle Ax.
Test the rotor RPM with loader engine at full throttle.
DANGER:
Keep hands, feet, and clothing
clear of belts, sheaves, and rotor while loader
is running.
See “Motor & Sheave Selection Chart” on page 25 for
rotor RPM. If it is outside this recommended range, it
may be necessary to disconnect the Battle Ax and test
the hydraulic output of the loader with a flow meter to
see if it corresponds with the factory specifications.
Skid Adjustment
NOTE: The skid(s) can be adjusted to increase or
decrease the distance between the ground and
the rotor.
Remove the four nuts (1) and raise or lower the skid to
the desired height. Re-install the four nuts and tighten
securely against the skid.
Repeat the procedure on the opposite side.
