5.2.2 ROTOR MAINTENANCE:
Each machine is designed with a rotor that is
equipped with swinging flails for shredding
material. Remove entangled material to allow
the flails to swing freely.
To maintain rotor, follow this procedure:
1. Clear the area of bystanders, especially
small children.
2. Place all controls in neutral, stop engine,
set park brake, remove ignition key,
disconnect
PTO
hydraulic hoses.
3. Use a knife, snips or other device to
remove string, twine or other entangled
material. Be sure to remove everything by
the flail mounting bolts to allow them to
swing freely. Access rotor from the side
access door, on the side opposite to the
discharge opening.
4. Keep flails in good condition. Replace if
chipped, bent or damaged in any way.
Always use a prevailing torque nut or jam
nut on the flail bolt to prevent coming
apart.

PTO SAFETY SHIELD
It is important that the shield components
rotate freely over the PTO shaft. Lubricating
both the shield bearings and also periodic
cleaning will ensure safe operation of the
rotating shields.
1. Press the cone down and release the
collar catches with a screw driver.
2. Spread the collar bearing and remove from
the tube.
3. Clean the collar and the yoke bearing
groove. After cleaning thoroughly, apply a
good coat of grease to the bearing groove.
4. Fit the collar bearing into the groove and
the tube ensuring that the collar catches
are centered over the matching holes. The
tube and bearing must rotate freely in the
bearing groove.
5. Fasten the cone by lining up the cone
grease fitting over the grease filing hole on
the collar bearing. Make sure that all
catches are fastened and that the shield
turns freely over the shaft.
