22
FAULT/ANOMALY POSSIBLE CAUSES REMEDIES
Abnormal vibrations - unbalancing of tool support rotor
- counterweight lost
- breakage of one or more tools
- re-balance the rotor
- replace tools
Low quality
cutting/mulching
- the rotor does not reach the intended speed
- machine adjustment not compliant with instructions
- too high forward speed
- tools worn
- check belt tension
- check PTO rpm
- adjust the hood or roller and reduce forward speed
- replace the tools
Excessive power absorption - hood or roller not adjusted properly
- too much material and too little tractor power
- adjust the machine according to the instructions
- find a compromise between power and forward speed
Frequent breakage of bearings - frame bent with excessive axial loads
- lubrication missing
- sealing systems broken
- repair frame
- lubricate
- replace sealing rings, etc.
The PTO turns and the rotor
stays still
- gearbox broken
- belts broken
- clutch burnt
- replace or repair the gearbox
- replace the belts
- replace the clutch
Rotor blocked - foreign body stuck
- lubrication missing
- gears or bearings in gearbox broken
- rotor bearings worn or broken
- turn the rotor the opposite direction using suitable tools
- lubricate
- replace the gears or bearings
- replace bearings and gaskets
The tools break, the bars are cut - presence of stones
- rotor speed too low or too high
- insufficient power
- remove, avoid this type of material
- increase or lower the nominal speed
- reduce the work load
Labyrinths and sealing rings
broken
- excessive lubrication
- fatigue
- lubrication missing
- replace sealing rings and lubricate correctly
Premature wear of belts or disk
clutches
- low PTO rotation speed
- machine starts above material to be mulched
- the rotor is not able to start and the belts slip
- insufficient belt tension
- adjust rotation speed as foreseen in user manual
- bring machine to proper speed before cutting
- check whether rotor is blocked
- tension the belts according to the instructions
Before depositing the machine at the end of the season, the frame
must be cleaned both inside and outside, removing all mulching
residue.
It must be dried, lubricated and/or greased.
Do not store it in moist areas or subject to the elements.
