NEVER attempt to move this implement manually. • NEVER change the release pressure on the Breakaway valve unless authorised to do so by FLEMING AGRI-PRODUCTS. 1.4 GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS • This is a tractor-mounted implement. Attempts should not be made to attach the topper to any other type of vehicle.
1.5 HYDRAULIC SAFETY • CAUTION The hydraulic system is under high pressure. • Ensure that only high-pressure hoses are used to connect supply to the toppers hydraulic cylinder. Check hoses regularly and renew any that are damaged or worn. ALWAYS ensure that hydraulic hoses are long enough to facilitate rotation of the topper body and are kept clear from the PTO shaft and 3 PL.
• When replacing the blades ensure only the correct FLEMING blades are used (see figures for part numbers). Blades should be replaced in pairs to ensure that the rotor remains balanced. ALWAYS replace the blade bolts with new genuine Fleming bolts when the blades are changed.
