1. LazerBladez
TM
:
a. Trimax mowers are fitted with Trimax’s
exclusive LazerBladez
TM
.
b. The blade part of the LazerBladez
TM
system is
known as a “fling-tip”, which is a small blade
mounted to a blade carrier by a special bolt.
c. As the blade carrier spins, the blade pivots
about the mounting bolt and is held in position
by centrifugal force.
d. The advantages of fling-tip blades are:
i. They are thinner than one-piece solid blades
and keep cutting even when blunt.
ii. They are relatively inexpensive and quick to
replace.
iii. They pivot backwards if they hit an “immovable”
object, preventing damage to the blade spindles and other parts.
LazerBladez
TM
fling-tips are unique.
e. The offset mounting hole shifts the centre-of-gravity of the blade. The cutting-edge tilts
forwards while cutting, reducing “hang back” and uncut strips in heavy conditions.
f. They are wider than many blades, resulting in more mass for higher impact in heavy going.
g. The upturn on the trailing edge is optimised to give better grass lift and discharge
characteristics.
h. LazerBladez
TM
are made from a special steel alloy which is harder for longer life while
retaining the toughness essential for commercial applications.
i. The LazerBladez
TM
bolt is specially designed to suit the blades.
2. Genuine parts:
a. Trimax LazerBladez
TM
are specifically developed for Trimax mowers. Accept nothing
else.
b. All parts should be stamped Trimax.
c. Non-genuine or “pirate” blades may be available. Trimax owners who have tried them say
they don’t last as long and that inaccurate dimensions have led to other failures.
d. There have been instances where blades have broken free from Trimax mowers fitted with
pirate blade bolts made from inferior materials.
3. Change LazerBladez
TM
fling-tips:
a. Clear the area of bystanders, especially
children.
b. Lift the mower decks to the transport position.
Ensure the transport locks engage.
c. Stop the tractor engine, ensure all controls are
in neutral, remove the ignition key and wait for
all moving parts to stop.
d. Connect the transport safety cable between the
outriggers.
e. Use a 19mm (3/4") socket or spanner to undo
the self-locking nut that secures the blade bolt.
A ladder maybe required to reach the top blade
bolts.
