Support Springs
The hydraulic rams that position the front mounted flailhead are equipped with support springs,
the support pressure offered by the springs can be adjusted to suit differing needs and
applications by altering their work position tension. The procedure for adjusting the springs is as
follows;
Raise the flailhead fully by operation of the hydraulic rams.
Remove bolt and washer from the ram rod end and release the chain from the lug.
Re-attach the chain selecting an alternative link to either increase or decrease tension.
Replace washer and bolt to secure in position.
Repeat the process on the opposite ram.
Steel Tracks
Tracks equipped with steel treads can be supplied
as an alternative to the normal all rubber type - the
steel tread version has the additional option of
being fitted with steel spikes.
To fit the spikes remove every second steel tread
by removal of the 3 x M8 Allen headed screws,
and replace with the steel spike treads using the
screws supplied and torque to 70Nm.
If a machine is fitted with spikes the operator must
avoid driving the machine on any surfaces that
would suffer damage from the spikes such roads,
car parks, recreation areas etc. unless the
machine has been fitted with rubber transport blocks specifically designed to protect surfaces.
Transport Blocks Fitment
The rubber transport blocks have
holes in them that locate on the spikes
and are fitted by pushing them onto
each set of accessible spikes before
slowly driving the machine forward so
its weight forces them tightly into
place; repeat the process until all the
spike sets are fitted with a block. After
transportation a lever or large
screwdriver will be required to prise
the blocks back off the spikes.
