Powered Slew - Tiger RBM16 Operator's Manual

POWERED SLEW

The slew feature allows a 95° arc of powered
arm movement on the working side from right
angles to the tractor to 5° beyond the direct
line astern.
The feature is required to place the machine in
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.
NOTE: 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.
Slew Feature
CAUTION!
Extra care must be taken when working in 'slew mode' with the reach fully in as it is
possible for the flailhead to come into contact with the tractor or machine frame.
WIRE TRAP
The flail head is equipped with a wire cutting edge welded into the underside. This is to
ensure that the ends of any wire that may be entwined in the rotor are cut and fall within
the confines of the flail head. This plate should not be interfered with in any way.
Any wire caught in the rotor must be immediately removed (see below).
Removing Wire
 Select rotor 'OFF' and wait until it has stopped rotating.
 STOP the tractor, remove and pocket the key, and only
then attempt to remove wire.
Do not reverse the rotor in an attempt to unwind any wire.
WARNING!
It is recommended that safety glasses and heavy duty safety gloves be worn when
removing wire.
