POWERED SLEW
The powered slew feature allows up to 140° of fore and aft arm movement on the working
side of the tractor; forwards by 90° and rearwards by 50°.
The forward slew feature is primarily required to place the machine into the transport
position but can also be used to sweep the arm 'to and fro' whilst cutting awkward areas
and corners, thus avoiding the need to constantly re-position the tractor; to operate in this
way 'slew' must be selected on the control assembly.
If breakaway occurs the slew motion must be reversed to allow
the slew breakaway relief valve to re seat and the ram to become
operable again.
Extra care must be taken when working in 'Slew' mode with
'Reach' fully in; it is possible for the flail head to come into
contact with the tractor and/or machine frame.
Care must be taken when manoeuvring backwards and
forwards to work confined areas or corners; the armset
does not possess 'forward breakaway protection'. When
reversing, obstructions must be avoided or forward slew
carefully operated to ensure the armset and head remain
clear of obstacles when the unit is travelling backwards.
Powered slew is controlled via
a double slew ram; refer to the
control pages for identification
of the controls for operation of
the separate 90° 'fore' slew &
50° 'aft' slew functions
