f. Discard used blade bolts and nuts. Fit new bolts and nyloc nuts when fitting new
blades.
g. Fit the new blade and bolt to the blade beam. Ensure the bolt is orientated correctly.
h. Fit the nut and tighten to a torque of 80Nm (60 lb-ft).
i. Ensure the blade is free to turn about the bolt.
16d. Roller Scrapers.
1. General:
a. Mowers can be fitted with optional roller scrapers.
b. Each scraper consists of a length of wire cable
wrapped in a quarter turn around the roller and
secured to the side channels at either end.
c. Roller scrapers may only be required at certain
times of the year or may not be necessary at all.
If roller scrapers are supplied with the machine
they may not be fitted.
IMPORTANT: It is the responsibility of the operator to fit or remove
roller scrapers depending upon the ground conditions prevailing at any
given time.
IMPORTANT! Do not tighten the roller scraper cables more than is
necessary to clean the roller. Over-tightening will place unnecessary loads
onto the roller bearings, may stop the roller turning, and may make it difficult
to adjust the cut
2. Fit roller scrapers
a. Remove the self-locking nut from one end.
b. Pass the end through one of the holes adjacent to the roller bearing at one end of the roller
and pull the wire through.
c. Pass the end through the other hole in the opposite side channel so the wire wraps about 90°
around the roller. Fit the self-locking nut.
d. Use an adjustable wrench or pliers to hold the shank of the threaded section to prevent it
turning.
e. Use a 19mm or 3/4” spanner to turn the self-locking nut until the threaded end projects about
two threads beyond the nut.
f. Tighten the other end until the wire sits against the roller but does not prevent it from turning.
3. Re-tensioning:
a. Roller scraper wires may stretch slightly with use.
b. Adjust the tension if necessary.
