Breakaway Action; Wire Trap; Removing Wire - Alamo PA92 Operator's Manual

8.10 Breakaway Action

When the flail head meets an obstruction and the tractor continues to move forward, the complete armhead
which is hinged on the frame will be forced backwards and upwards at the same time in an effort to clear the
obstruction. Resetting of the breakaway is completely automatic with the armhead returning to its working
position under its own weight. Breakaway reset forces are absorbed by the rubber damper.

8.11 Wire Trap

The flail hood is equipped with a wire trap. The trap consists of a steel plate welded across the underside. Any
loose ends of wire which are picked up and carried round by the rotor are cut by the edge of the metal plate
and fall harmlessly to the ground. This plate should not be interfered with or modified in any way.
Furthermore, this wire trap does not relieve the operator of the responsibility of checking and cleaning the flail
when it is suspected that wire has caught in the rotor.

8.12 Removing Wire

1. Select Rotor "OFF" and wait until it has stopped rotating.
2. Stop the tractor and only then, remove the wire.
3. Do not reverse the rotor in an attempt to unwind any wire.
