MECHANICAL BREAKOUT
The RBF-12C is equiped with a mechanical breakout, which is fitted at the bottom of the kingpost attach-
ment point in the mainframe. This will reduce the risk of damage if an obstruction is encountered during
work. This breakout mechanism is pre-set at the factory and should not need any adjustment. If it is ever
dismantled it is important that the disc springs are replaced in the correct sequence.
HOSE LAYOUT
It is important that hoses are fitted correctly. To ensure that there are no kinks, sharp bends and that
the hoses do not chafe against sharp edges, the following layout should be used as a guide.
Twists
Hoses should never be twisted or kinked. On most hoses there is a line which runs the full length of the
hose acting as a useful guide (see FIGURE 3-8). If there is no guideline running along the hose follow
the fitting instructions below.
FIGURE 3-8
CONNECTING THE MOTOR
The connection of the hoses to the motor will determine the direction of rotation of the rotor shaft. As
reverse rotation is standard on the machine, then the following instructions will apply to reverse rotation.
For forward rotation the pipe connections on the motor are interchanged.
A. Locate the relief valve at the pump outlet.
B. Connect hose attached to port marked 'P' for pressure, to the bottom rear fitting on motor and tighten.
C. Connect hose attached to port marked 'T' for tank, to the top fitting on motor and tighten.
D. For forward rotation interchange these hoses.(Same as tractor tires)
NOTE: When fitting Cowl Bracket in different positions on the cowl rear beam it is important that the
motor hose cannot be caught up between the Arm and rear of the Cowl. It may be necessary to reposi-
tion the hose in hose clamps on the second arm.
