Triple Flail Maintenance Section 4-17
MAINTENANCE
GREASING THE IDLER TENSION ARMS
Locate the access holes and grease zerks in the belt shields of the side and rear
flails. Normal conditions require one pump daily or every 8 hours of service with
multi purpose grease.
IDLER TENSIONING
Locate the idler tensioning rod for each flail. Loosen the locking nut. Turn the
adjusting nut until the washer in between the spring and nuts is flush with the spring
housing or guide. Tighten locking nut securely. For standard cut on side flail adjust
until the spring washer is flush with the top of the spring housing, as shown below.
Use this same method to adjust hydraulically driven rear flails.
For standard cut on the mechanically driven rear flail mower, adjust so that the
spring washer is flush with the spring guide as shown below.
