Spearhead QHD Flail Mowers
16
Blunt flails leave an untidy finish and absorb excessive power, when re-
sharpening always wear protective clothing and goggles.
When flails are showing severe wear, damage or cracking, they must be
replaced immediately. Never attempt to weld the flails, as this will make them
very brittle, thus extremely dangerous. Do not take risks with the cutting flails,
if in doubt replace.
When replacing flails always replace bolts and nuts for new.
Regularly check that all bearing bolts are tight.
It is imperative the screws are checked on the taper locks (once bedded in
loctite glue may prove useful).
