Spearhead OFFSET FLAIL MOWER Introduction The Spearhead Q120-OS, Q160-OS and Q200-OS 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.

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 OFFSET FLAIL MOWER 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.

The belt is tensioned by an adjuster bolt, (fig 9) Remove both guards for access when tensioning belts; ensure belts are running in line after adjustment.
