below you will have your machine always in good condition, prolonging the life of machine
components.
1)Hammers:
The hammers have a special shape, high surface hardness and core flexible to not break, but you
must change their position when they show signs of wear to make you enjoy the four corners. If
damaged, replace them with a new set of hammers to ensure maximum utilization of your
equipmentandavoidtheunbalanceoftherotor.

B)Removethelockpinofhammers“B”andremovethepinofhammers“C”(fig.07).
When removing the hammers, be careful to not mix them, mark their hammers and spacer rings
corresponding to the pin as they were. If you need to replace the hammer, you have to change the
game completely in order to avoid unbalancing the rotor because the rotor unbalanced causes
vibration.

Extracare:
Remember, before starting the lubrication, you should verify that the grease fittings are clean. It is
important to clean them before you start lubrication in order to prevent the entry of foreign matter
(dust, particles of grass) in the bearings, these foreign bodies can damage them causing them to
losetheirabilitytowork.Itshouldalsobeattentiveputtheamountofgreaseinthebearings,grease
too much cause overheating and subsequent damage to the bearing finally remember that you
shouldnotmixdifferentbrandsofgrease,sothatitdoesnotloseitsoriginalcharacteristics.
2)Lubrication:
Lubrication is the most important maintenance of your machine by following these instructions for
lubrication, the user will greatly reduce the chance of breaking your machine. We recommend that
you lubricate every 5 hours of use for greading the PTO shaft pulley “A” (fig.08), and the rotor shaft
