Spearhead QHD Flail Mowers Introduction The Spearhead Q2000HD, Q2500HD and Q2800HD are robust high capacity flail mowers that are easy to operate and maintain, but to ensure trouble-free operation this manual should be carefully studied. Safety First Do not start the machine until you fully understand operation and safety precaution requirements.
Spearhead QHD Flail Mowers Attaching To the Tractor Fit the machine to the tractor linkage in the standard way, ensuring the correct match of linkage (CAT 2 pins). Check that the top link is in good order and threads are well lubricated, (as fine adjustment to height of cut is regulated by the top link).
Spearhead QHD Flail Mowers Setting Up & Adjustment Height Adjustment To achieve major adjustment to height of cut; reposition the two side plates attached to the rear roller. A finer adjustment to cut can be achieved by lengthening or shortening the top link of the tractor (Fig. 3).
Spearhead QHD Flail Mowers Front Linkage Mounting Simply remove the clamping bolts and revolve the standard ‘A’ frame through 180 degrees so the linkage mounting pins are facing the rear of the mower. hydraulic ‘A’ frame is double sided. Tractor front PTO’s has no standard rotation so it may be necessary to turn the gearbox through 180 degrees (top to bottom), to compensate for this irregularity.
Spearhead QHD Flail Mowers Operation Engage the PTO only when the tractor engine is at low revs to prevent shock damage to machine. Slowly increase the engine revs to achieve the standard 1000/540 RPM PTO speed, as indicated by the decal.
PTO speeds. Remember, the rotor is highly complex and expensive to manufacture, please treat with care and enjoy the benefits of the Spearhead Rotor. Warning Rotor is balanced to be run at PTO speed, do not operate above or below this speed.
Spearhead QHD Flail Mowers Servicing & Maintenance Gearbox Before first use check gearbox oil level, thereafter check every 8 hours. After the first 50 hours drain and replace the gearbox oil, thereafter annually. Replace with EP90. Regularly inspect gearbox seals. If oil is leaking replace immediately.
Spearhead QHD Flail Mowers Blunt flails leave an untidy finish and absorb excessive power, when re- sharpening always wear protective clothing and goggles. When flails are showing severe wear, damage or cracking, they must be replaced immediately. Never attempt to weld the flails, as this will make them very brittle, thus extremely dangerous.
Spearhead QHD Flail Mowers Regularly Check the condition of drive belts, ensuring they are aligned and properly tensioned to avoid any unnecessary belt wear. Remove both guards for access when tensioning belts; ensure belts are running in line after adjustment.
Spearhead QHD Flail Mowers Storage At the end of the season before storing, thoroughly wash the machine off, removing all traces of grass and dirt.
