- START UP PROCEDURE
- 1. Read all safety instructions. Decals on the Machete Boom warn you of particular and multiple hazards. Many decals are attached close to part of the Machete Boom where there is a possible hazard. Read and make sure you understand the safety message...
- 2. Before operating, read all the safety and operating instructions in the Operators Manual for both the tractor and mower.
- 3. When the hydraulic tank has been filled and the mower unit properly assembled, the unit should be started up. NOTE: Make sure that no materials, tools, or jacks, have been left under the mower head. Make sure the front and rear of the mower are pr...
- 4. Start the tractor and idle at a slow engine speed until oil is being pumped.
- 5. Engage the Cutter Control Valve at low engine rpm 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 dista...
- 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...

- The cutter shaft will run out of balance if:
- 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.
- The cutter shaft will run out of balance if:
- SPINDLE SERVICE PROCEDURE 02960553B and 02960553C
- 1. Remove blade bar or pan.
- 2. Remove hydraulic motor.
- 3. Remove spindle assembly from mower deck.
- 4. Drain remaining lubricant from housing.
- 5. Using a 3/16" cape chisel, bend out the staking indentations on each side of the bearing adjusting nut. To do this, place the chisel in the groove and parallel to the shaft. Drive the chisel downward until the indentation is free of the shaft and ...
- 6. Using the same chisel, straighten the tang on the lockwasher (if equipped with a lockwasher).
- 7. Remove bearing adjusting nut and lockwasher (if equipped). Discard these parts. They are not re- usable. Install a new adjusting nut when assembling.
- 8. Screw the original blade bar bolts into the flange of the spindle shaft until they contact the bearing ring (see Figure 2).
- 9. In a clockwise pattern, rotate each bolt 1/4 turn (see Figure 3). Continue turning the bolts 1/4 turn at a time (maximum of 3 turns), until the special shanked bolts (P/N 02964353) will thread into the spindle.
- 10. Remove the original bolts and replace them with the shanked bolts. Screw the shanked bolts in until they contact the bearing ring.
- 11. In a clockwise pattern, rotate the bolts 1/4 turn at a time until the spindle is free from the housing.
- 12. Remove the seal retaining ring from the housing using a flat screwdriver or similar tool.
- 13. Remove the seal and bearing.
- 14. A punch or similar tool can be used to remove the bearing cups from the housing if the cups are not to be re-used.
- CLEANING
- INSPECTION
- ASSEMBLY
- 1. Place upper bearing cones in bearing oven.
- 2. Seat bearing cups (outer races) in housing using a press and proper installation tools in good condition. CUPS MUST BE FULLY SEATED. If bearing cup cocks in bore and seizes, do not continue to assemble spindle.
- 3. Lubricate lower bearing cone with LPS.
- 4. Coat the outside of the seal with silicone and install the lower bearing, seal, and retaining ring into the housing, using the correct seal installer.
- 5. Place a light film of silicon or permatex on the inside diameter of the bearing ring and seat the ring on the spindle shaft, using the proper tool and press.
- 6. Lightly lubricate the lip of the seal.
- 7. Using the 2-3/4" tubing to prevent the cup and cone from contacting each other, press the spindle shaft through the lower bearing and seal. Make sure the bearing is seated against the bearing ring.
- 8. Place Locktite on threads of the bearing adjusting nut (flange nut).
- 9. Using gloves, install the heated upper bearing cone on the shaft immediately and push it all the way against the cup. Lubricate the bearing with LPS.
- 10. Install the bearing adjusting nut. Tighten the nut until the spindle shaft can not be turned. Loosen the nut 1/4 turn. Place a soft, clean cloth over the top of the spindle assembly. Place an aluminum block over the end of the spindle shaft and s...
- 11. Remove the cloth, being careful not to allow any contamination into the spindle. Tighten the nut until a rolling torque of 16-21 inch-pounds is reached. (If the seal was not lubricated, add 10 inch-pounds).
- 12. Stake the nut with a blunt, round nosed punch. Do not tear the nut.
- 13. Install the grease fitting into the hole in the center of the housing (between the bearings) and fill the housing with EP#2 grease, stopping when the lubricant covers the upper bearing (approximately 11 oz.).
- 14. Install the breather plug in the top hole.
- 15. Install spindle in mower deck and assemble in reverse order. Torque the blade bar or pan bolts to 400 ft-lbs. Torque motor to spindle bolts to 85 ft-lbs. Torque spindle to deck bolts at 175 ft-lbs.
