  - RUNNING UP PROCEDURE
    - 1. Ensure P.T.O. lever is in neutral position, and isolate tractor hydraulic linkage. Start tractor and select external service supply. Allow the tractor to run for several minutes before attempting to operate any of the machine control levers.
    - 2. On operating move the levers through their complete range ensuring that all movements are functioning correctly.
    - 3. Check the tractor rear axle oil level and top up if necessary.
    - 4. Place the flail head at a safe attitude and bring tractor engine revolutions to 1000 rpm. Engage P.T.O. and allow the rotor to run for several minutes. Do not leave the tractor cab or allow anyone to approach the flail head at this time.
    - 5. After running up the machine, increase PTO speed to approximately 360 RPM. Run machine further for five minutes before disengaging the PTO and stopping tractor. The reason for this running period under a no load condition is to thoroughly circulat...
    - 6. Check the hose runs and observe that they are free from any pinching, chafing, straining or kinks. Recheck the oil level in the tank and top up as necessary.

- PARTS INFORMATION
  - LUBRICATION INFORMATION
    - 1. Power take-off shaft - The PTO shaft should be regularly examined to ensure that it is in good condition together with the guards. The universal joints should be greased very sparingly, i.e., one shot a week.
    - 2. The two halves of the plastic guard should be checked daily to ensure that they can spin freely on the shaft. The nylon slip rings which support the guard on the drive shaft should be lightly greased at weekly intervals.
    - 3. The telescoping drive shaft should be similarly separated and grease applied to the internal shaft at approximately 100 hour intervals.
    - 4. Your Boom uses greased bushings that need lubrication, and with proper lubrication should last the lifetime of the machine.

    - Oil Supply
      - 1. Cleaning off around the reservoir cap before removal, and keeping that area clean.
      - 2. Using clean containers when replenishing the system.
      - 3. Regular servicing of the filtration system.
    - Filtration Maintenance
  - HYDRAULIC HOSES
    - Hose Replacement
      - 1. Replace one hose at a time to avoid the risk of wrong connections.
      - 2. When the hose is screwed to an additional fitting or union, use a second spanner on the union to avoid breaking both seals.
      - 3. Do not use jointing compound on the threads.
      - 4. Avoid twisting the hose. Adjust the hose line to ensure freedom from rubbing or trapping before tightening hose end connections.

  - PROPER TORQUE FOR FASTENERS
  - FLAILHEAD
    - 1. Frequently inspect the rotor assembly for damaged or missing flails. Bolts and nuts securing the flails to the rotor should be regularly checked and kept tight. The correct torque setting for these locknuts is 135 Nm (100 lbs/ft.). Use only the co...
    - 2. Do not attempt to run the rotor with flails missing. Imbalance will cause severe vibration and can rapidly damage the rotor shaft bearings. As an emergency measure, if a flail is broken off or lost, remove another on the opposite site of the rotor...
    - 3. Blunt flails absorb a lot of power and leave an untidy finish to work. They should be sharpened on a grindstone or with a portable grinder periodically.
    - 4. Wear protective gear when sharpening flails.
    - 5. Ensure that the bearing housings and hydraulic mounting nuts and bolts are kept tight. They should be checked during servicing.
