• ROLLER BEARING REPLACEMENT
  • 1. Remove roller and both bearing and bracket assemblies from mower. Lift the mower only high enough to remove the roller assembly.
  • 2. Slide bearing and bracket assemblies off each end of roller. If replacing with new bearing and bracket assemblies, proceed to step 9.
  • 3. Remove roller bearing and housing assembly attaching hardware. Remove assembly from bracket. Inspect seal between assembly and bracket for brittleness, cracks, wear and tear. Replace if necessary. If replacing with new roller bearing and housing a...
  • 4. Remove grease fitting from the top of bearing housing.
  • 5. Remove bearing from housing by rotating Bearing 90O sideways and line up with notches in Bearing Housing then pull out.
  • 6. Install new bearing into housing. Bearing must be installed with grease hole in bearing aligned with grease fitting hole in housing.
  • 7. Reinstall grease fitting to housing. Grease Fitting must have locking pin installed which inserts into grease hole in bearing when installed. If Grease Fitting does not have a pin, order a new grease fitting. Grease fitting must be tight and seate...
  • 8. Attach roller bearing and housing assembly to bracket with seal between housing and bracket.
  • 9. Slide bearing and bracket assemblies on each end of roller.
  • 10. Check bearing for proper installation in housing by gently rocking bearing and bracket assembly in end of roller. Play should be slight to none at all.
  • 11. Install roller and bearing and bracket assemblies on mower.

  • 1. Wire, rope, string, rags, etc., around the cutter shaft, are holding the knives in a folded back position. Remove such foreign objects and be sure all knives are free to swing to the extended position.
  • 2. Knives are missing or broken. Replace missing or broken knives.
  • 3. Knife hanger lugs are broken off shaft. This condition usually results from continued operation in contact with large hard objects where the knife hanger lugs themselves are hitting the hard objects. Lugs should be replaced using arc welding equip...
  • 4. Cutter shaft ball bearings are worn enough to have radial "play" in them. Replace ball bearing and other worn parts to eliminate "play".
  • 5. Shaft is bent. The shafts are straight within a couple of thousandths of an inch when they are made. It is possible that they will become bent in use, such as if the shaft is hooked on a stump while the tractor is moving forward at a good speed.
  • 6. Shafts are operated at improper speed. Rotating shafts have what is known as a natural period of vibration. The same is true of the cutter shafts on the Flail Mowers.
  • Start up Procedure
    • 1. Read all safety instructions. Decals on the Boom warn you of particular and multiple hazards. Many decals are attached close to part of the Boom where there is a possible hazard. Read and make sure you understand the safety messages before you ope...

    • 5. Engage the Cutter Control Valve at low engine PTO speed and run the mower slowly for a short period until all air is removed from the hoses. Keep all persons WELL CLEAR of mower since Blades can THROW OBJECTS with great velocity for a considerable...
    • 6. With the area clear of any ground and overhead obstructions, work each cylinder on the boom one at a time, several times, to expel any air in the Hoses and Cylinders.
    • 7. Run the Mower Head for 5 minutes. While the tractor is idling, blocked, wearing protective clothing and eye protection, CAREFULLY check for leaking hydraulic fittings, hoses and ports at this point with a piece of cardboard, DO NOT USE YOUR HAND! ...
    • 8. Check the fluid level in the Hydraulic Tank on the Tractor, and add oil if required. As the air has been forced out of the Cylinders and Hoses, it goes into the Hydraulic Tank and reduces the oil level. Check your Tractors Operators Manual for the...
