CHECKING BEFORE OPERATIONG
Before operating the machine, the following areas should be checked o:
1. Before starting up the machine, check and lubricate all grease points on the machine and drive shaft.
2. Use only an agricultural tractor with horsepower within limits of the implement.
3. Check that the machine is properly attached to the tractor. Be sure retainers are used on the mounting
pins.
4. Be sure extra weights are mounted on the front of the tractor, if required.
5. Check the oil level in the gearbox. Add as required.
6. Check that the tractor PTO shaft turns freely and that the machine driving shaft can telescope easily.
7. Check the blades. Be sure they are not damaged or broken and swing freely in their mount. Repair or
replace as required
8. Check and tighten the blade bolts.
9. Check for entangled material in all rotating parts. Remove this material.
10.Install and secure all guards, doors and covers before starting.
11. Before installing the PTO, ensure the engine is stopped and the PTO shaft is in safe working order.
BE-EFGCXXXF USER MANUAL 11
1. On a flat piece of ground, attached the Flail Mower to the Tractor using the three point linkage.
2. Use a solid adjustable top link.
3. Lower three point linkage to its lowest position.
4. With the roller at the rear in contact with the ground, adjust the length of the top link so that the lower edge
at the side of the flail mower is parallel with the ground.
5. Rotate the blade drum by hand so that a row of blades hang vertically towards the ground.
6. Measure the clearance between the bottom of the extended blades and the ground:
• Minimum 50mm
• Note in rough or lumpy paddocks the clearance needs to be increased to ensure that the blades don't
impact the ground in operation.
7. Adjust the roller height to increase or decrease the blade clearance as required.
8. Go through steps 4 to 7 until the required clearance is achieved.
When the Flail Mower has been set up with the required tolerances:
Operate the Flail Mower with tractor in low range and the PTO delivering 540 RPM.
FLAIL MOWER ADJUSTMENT
Loosen screw (A) and (B) that locks the support shaft and loosen the counter nut (C).
Loosen the screws that lock the gearbox on the mounting plate (D).
Adjust the drive belt tension. The correct belt tension is achieved when the belt can be deflected by the belt
thickness about 10mm at the center point between the pulleys.
Align the gearbox so the drive shaft is parallel with the body.
Use a straight edge to make sure the belt pulleys are in-line and running true.
If mis-angled, call your dealer or service agent for technical support.
Fit safety covers and tighten the mounting bolts before operating.

12. All other people shall leave the area before connecting the driving power from the tractor. Keep the
output of the tractor at 540 RPM.
13. Before cleaning, repairing and lubricating the machine, stop the motor and take the key away with you.
14. When the PTO shaft is not connected with the tractor, support it through the frame to protect it from
lying in the dirt.
15. Don’t approach the machine when it is operating.
ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT
To get the most out of your flail mower, it should be set within the
recommended height.
To save fuel, power and reduce the wear and tear, the cutting height
must be regulated correctly.
When adjusting the working height, loosen screw (1), remove screw
(2) on both sides;
The roller height (see following drawing) can be adjusted by aligning
the selected hole in the roller support bracket at position 2. The
lowest hole is the highest working height; put the screw (2) into the
selected hole; tighten screw (1) and screw (2).

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
The PTO shaft is designed to telescope to allow for dimensional changes as the machine goes through its
operating range.
A Tubular guard encloses the driving components and is designed to turn relative to the driving components.
The shaft should telescope easily and the guard turn freely on the shaft at all times. Annual disassembly,
cleaning and lubrication is recommended to insure that all components function as intended.
To maintain the shaft, follow this procedure:
1. Remove the front he machine
2. Pull shaft apart.
3. Use a screwdriver to pry the tabs out of the sleeves on each end.
4. Pull the shaft out of the plastic tubular guard.
5. Use a solvent to clean the male and female portions of the telescoping ends.
6. Apply a light coat of grease to each end.
7. Clean the grooves on each end where the tabs are located. Clean each tab also.
8. Apply a light coat of grease to each groove.
9. Insert the shaft into its respective guard and align the slots with the groove.
10. Insert the tabs through the slots and seat in the groove.
11. Check that each guard turns freely on the shaft.
12. Assemble the shaft.
13. Check that the shaft telescopes easily.
14. Replace any components that are damaged or worn.
15. Install the shaft on the machine.

PTO SHAFT MAINTENANCE
The PTO shaft is designed to telescope to allow for dimensional changes as the machine goes through its
operating range.
A Tubular guard encloses the driving components and is designed to turn relative to the driving
components.
The shaft should telescope easily and the guard turn freely on the shaft at all times. Annual disassembly,
cleaning and lubrication is recommended to ensure that all components function as intended.
To maintain the shaft, follow this procedure:
1. Remove the front of the machine
2. Pull shaft apart.
3. Use a screwdriver to pry the tabs out of the sleeves on each end.
4. Pull the shaft out of the plastic tubular guard.
5. Use a solvent to clean the male and female portions of the telescoping ends.
6. Apply a light coat of grease to each end.
7. Clean the grooves on each end where the tabs are located. Clean each tab also.
8. Apply a light coat of grease to each groove.
9. Insert the shaft into its respective guard and align the slots with the groove.
10.Insert the tabs through the slots and seat in the groove.
11. Check that each guard turns freely on the shaft.
12. Assemble the shaft.
13. Check that the shaft telescopes easily.
14. Replace any components that are damaged or worn.
15. Install the shaft on the machine.
GEARBOX MAINTENANCE
The gearbox used on the Flail Mower will give many years of trouble-free service with minimal maintenance
requirements. Maintain the gearbox by following this procedure:
Oil Level:
• Remove the level plug from the rear or side of the gearbox.
• Add oil through the filler plug located on top of gearbox until oil comes out of the level plug.
• Add through the level plug if required.
• If gearbox has a dipstick on filler plug, then fill to indicator mark.
IMPORTANT: Check the oil level only when the unit is cold and the machine is on the level.
STORAGE
• Clean the machine inside and out, so as to avoid corrosion.
• Don’t spray water on the rolling bearing if you clean the machine with high pressure sprayer.
• Check and clean the universal joint, driving belt press roller or replace them if they are not in good
condition.
• Spread oil on all parts required.
• Re-coat the parts rubbed and damaged for anti corrosion.
• Store the machine in a dry, level area.
16 BE-EFGCXXXF USER MANUAL
OPERATION & AFTER STORAGE
Before the machine is started back up, check the following items regularly:
• Check oil level and add if required.
• Check and tighten all screws and nuts.
• Check the blade condition. Replace as required.
• Check the air hole on the gearbox. If it is blocked, clean or open the hole with compressed air.
• Don’t spread oil or grease on the driving belts. IF there is oil or grease on the belts, wipe the belts, to avoid
slippage and premature wear.
• Check all moving parts and replace them if necessary.
• Check the protective cover are complete and operate correctly.
