OPERATION
REGULATING THE TENSION OF DRIVING BELT
STARING UP
7. Adjust the roller height to increase or decrease the
blade clearance as required
8. Go through steps 4 to 7 until the required clearance is
achieved.When the Flail Mower has been set up with the
required tolerances:Operate the Flail Mower with tractor
in low range and the PTO delivering 540 RPM
The machine coupling is equipped with 3 pins so that the
machine can be coupled with all tractors with universal
coupling with 3 pins. Each telescopic pole on the machine
can be adjusted properly according to the type of the
tractor. Keep the Flail mower away the tractor with a
certain distance. The universal joint shall be tense and
the largest distance in the closed state shall be 2/4 in.
Moving the lifting arm, and putting it between axes, insert
the joint pins and fix them with pins. Fix the lifting arm
with chain and tensioning device so as to prevent lateral
movement of the machine. Connect the universal joint to
the PTO shaft of the tractor on the side of the tractor. In
any event, it cannot produce a collision in any position.
While connecting 3 points, pay attention to that the PTO
shaft of the tractor shall be parallel with the ground. It is
very important to keep the machine driving axle and the
PTO shaft of the tractor in parallel.
The machine shall be lifted from the ground before moving
the machine.
1. Adjust the drive belt tension. The correct belt tension is
achieved when the belt can be deflected by the belt thick-
ness about 10mm at the center point between the
pulleys.
2. Align the gearbox so the drive shaft is parallel with the
body.
3. Use a straight edge to make sure the belt pullies are in
line and running true. If misaligned,call your dealer or
service agent for technical support.
Before starting the machine, control and adjust the
following items:
• Tension of trapezoidal driving belt.
• Oil level of gear.
• Point of lubrication
• All bolts, nuts and screws.
Remove the driving belt cover.
The machine shall always stand still for
regulating the tension.
When transferring the moving state of the
machine to the working state, do not stand
between the machine and the tractor.
