OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Getting the best from your Superior Slasher
INITIAL START UP
Check Gearboxes for oil: Recommended OIL: 85w - 140 EP GEAR OIL
Grease all grease points: Recommended Grease: All Purpose Grease EPL 2
Attaching Tractor
Connect tractor to TPL lower link pins. The slasher 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.

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 slasher, 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 SLASHER.
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 slasher in
extreme conditions.
Setting Up Your Slasher
Your Superior slasher will cut cleanest and requires less horse power to drive
when the front of the slasher is set lower than the rear.
Your superior slasher is fitted with stepped blades as standard, or for side
discharge self sharpening suction lift will be fitted. These will require approx. 12
mm (1/2”) lower setting at the front than the rear.
Adjust this setting to achieve the desired cutting result for your conditions.
Mulching
Your Superior slasher will mulch better if fitted with suction lift blades.
Set the slasher level to the same height front and rear.
For best results detachable mulching plates are available as an optional extra,
these are fitted to the rear of the slasher and retain the cut material until full
mulch is obtained.
Setting Up Your Rear Castor Wheels

14 © 2017 SUPERIOR EQUIPMENT PTY LTD
Use the rear wheel adjustment to set the correct stance of the Slasher - lower at
the front, higher at the rear.
Adjust the top link to allow the slasher to hinge at the tractor lower lift arms, so
that the slasher can follow reasonable ground contours. If top link is too short
the slasher will tend to lift off the ground resulting in an uneven cut.
CAUTION: If top link is too long it may allow the slasher to lift too high at the
front which will cause damage to driveshaft safety covers or will result in
bending driveshaft requiring costly repairs.
OPERATION
Your superior slasher will be set up in the factory to suit your tractor’s particular
P.T.O. either 540 rpm or 1000 rpm
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
slasher in extreme conditions.
Clutch Settings
Clutch settings are best set up in conditions that the slasher is operating in.
€Operate the slasher in reasonably heavy conditions for approx. 20 to 30
minutes.
€Switch engine off, remove key from ignition
€Disengage PTO
Clutch Adjustment
€Undo lock nuts

15 © 2017 SUPERIOR EQUIPMENT PTY LTD
€Tighten (increase spring tension) or loosen (decrease spring tension)
adjusting nut by 3/4 turn on each nut.
€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
slasher 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
Slasher.
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.
