FORE USE.

Check cutterhead roller bearing adjustment:

Important: Prevent Damage - It is essential that

the cutterhead roller bearings are kept in good

adjustment in order to ensure maximum

working life. If roller end oat is allowed to

become excessive, premature bearing failure

will result.

Grip the roller and move from side to side and

up and down. If excessive movement is detected

proceed as follows:

Carefully tighten nuts ‘A’ at each end of the roller

with the spanner provided, just sufciently to

remove any end oat.

Note: The roller should still rotate freely after

adjustment. Overtightening of nuts ‘A’ could

lead to premature bearing failure.

Check cutterhead rear roller scraper wire

tension:

It is important that the scraper wires are correctly

tensioned so as to ensure correct operation and

maximum working life. Carefully tighten the

scraper wire retaining nuts ‘B’ so as to just remove

any slack from the scraper wires then tighten nuts

‘B’ a further four full turns to correctly tension the

wire.

IMPORTANT: PREVENT DAMAGE - Do not

over tighten the scraper wires.

Check wheel nut torque settings:

Front axle wheel nut torque setting - 200Nm (148

lbf.ft).

Rear axle wheel nut torque setting - 54 Nm (40 lbf.

ft).

Greasing the transmission control unit:

It is important to grease the transmission control

unit. This is done using the remote grease nipple

located adjacent to the hydraulics oil tank ller.

Pump grease into the unit until it can be seen

exuding from both ends of the control unit.
