Maintenance and Service
Defoliator
426 / 564
After the first 10 operating hours of the lifter, all bolts of the clamping shackles on the
defoliator shaft must be checked for tight fit and, in case of need, retightened!
To ensure smooth operation and to maximise the service life, the complete defolia-
tor shaft was balanced before assembly. If a new defoliator blade is installed, the new
blade must be adjusted to the existing blades to prevent imbalance. Always replace
the opposite blade.
A the original diameter of a new defoliator shaft is 20 mm for RBS*, RAS* and RES*
and 22 mm for RIS. When the shaft shows clearly visible signs of wear, it must be
replaced with a new original shaft. The shaft must be regularly visually inspected for
wear. A worn defoliator shaft may only be replaced by an original ROPA part for safety
reasons.
Unbalance in the defoliator shaft leads to cracks and breakage in all defoliator parts.
DANGER
Flails flung away mean acute hazard to life of all people in the vicinity.
