OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Getting the best from your Superior Slasher
INITIAL START UP
Check Gearboxes for oil daily: Recommended OIL: 85w -- 140 EP GEAR
OIL.
Gearbox level plug is located at side of gearbox, correct oil level is at the
top of the hole where the oil plug screws in.
Prompt attention to oil leaks is essential.
Grease all grease points: Recommended Grease: All Purpose Grease
EPL 2
Attaching Tractor
Connect tractor to TPL lower link pins. The Profiler is fitted with a stepped
pin which will fit either cat 1, 22 mm ( 7/8” ) or cat 2, 30 mm ( 1 1/8” ).
Make sure tractor is fitted to correct size and place lynch pin in hole end of
pin.

13
Tighten anti-sway bars / chains (must be firm, not rigid)
Connect top link to tower.
Connect driveshaft to P.T.O. on tractor and clutch / gearbox on profiler,
make sure clamp bolts and or Q.R. pins are located in respective grooves.
(Failure to do this will result in driveshaft damage).
Tractor lift arms can vary in length. CHECK OPERATIONAL LENGTH OF
DRIVESHAFT BEFORE OPERATING PROFILER.
Check length of driveshaft at the highest and lowest positions of tractor lift
arms.
The driveshaft requires sliding movement of approx. 100 mm (4”) to avoid
bottoming or pulling apart at maximum operational lengths.
Caution entering & exiting steep gullies or steep ridges may result in drive
shaft bottoming out or coming apart. Check drive shaft length before using
Profiler in extreme conditions.
Setting Up Your Soil Profiler
Soil profiler should be set up to the correct profiling height by adjusting
front steel wheels, side skids, hydraulic adjusted tower, and hydraulic
adjusted chute.
The rear of the machine is adjusted by the rear wheel by placing the bolt in
the higher or lower position.
Profiler should be set at a level stance when viewed from the side. PTO
speed is critical, it is best to keep engine revs up.
To achieve optimum results, give PTO max torque (Optimum Blade Tip
Speed), ground speed can then be adjusted by using lower gear in heavy
going and higher gear in light going.

14
Setting Up Your Blades
Check that profiling blades are fitted tightly and correctly to the profiler
spindle.
Check that profiler blades are tight, inspection should be carried out daily.
If holes are elongated, it is recommended that replacement blades, bolts &
nuts be fitted immediately.
OPERATION
CUTTING DEPTH –
For best mowing results maintain correct PTO speeds
In heavy going or awkward areas change back a gear or reduce forward
speeds rather than reduce PTO speed by throttling back
CAUTION: Entering & exiting steep gully's or steep ridges may result in
drive shaft bottoming out or coming apart, check drive shaft length before
using Profiler in extreme conditions.
Clutch Settings
Clutch settings are best set up in conditions that the Profiler is operating
in.
€Operate the Profiler in reasonably heavy conditions for approx. 20
to 30 minutes.
€Switch engine off, remove key from ignition
€Disengage PTO
€Check temperature of clutch with EXTREME CAUTION by placing
hand near clutch, if clutch is warm to the touch it is about right, if it
is too hot to touch or hot to the touch the clutch has been slipping
excessively and adjustment is necessary.

15
Clutch Adjustment
€Undo lock nuts
€Tighten (increase spring tension) or loosen (decrease spring
tension) adjusting nut by ¾ of a turn
€Make sure each of the nuts is adjusted in turn.
€Do up lock nuts
€Refer back to Clutch Settings
CAUTION: If clutch is too tight (cold) and there is no opportunity for clutch
slip, costly damage to components may result.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
It is important that after approx. 30 to 60 minutes operation you should
stop the soil profiler and check all bolts and nuts for tightness. While all
bolts are tightened on assembly, impact and working loads cause bedding
in of components and early attention to all bolt and nuts will ensure trouble
free operation of your Profiler.
Particular attention should be paid to clamp bolt, clutch bolts, cutting head
bolts, blade bolts and nuts, as well as wheel nuts, bearings and castor
assembly components.
Early inspection of components after initial start up, and adherence to the
lubrication recommendations, will greatly assist in maintaining the
durability of your investment.
