2. INSTALLATION & SET UP
Safety: Ensure tractor and machine is stopped & keys out of ignion before set-up/maintenance.
Safety: Before aaching/detaching machinery ensure the hydraulic li system is in a neutral posion.
Safety: Make sure the PTO drive isn’t connected at any point unl instructed to do so.
You will need:
Your tractor, tractor top link arm (adjustable), linkage pins, PTO sha, PPE safety wear & some elbow
grease!
Aaching The Machine
Start by nding a flat piece of ground. Posion your tractor and lower the three point linkage 3 to line
up with the machine. Then aach the machine to the tractor using the three point linkage pins 1 and
x in to place with the linch pins 2.
Adjust the top linkage arm on the tractor 12 unl the PTO of the implement is parallel to the ground.
Start the tractor engine and li the machine from the ground, then turn o the tractor engine and
remove the ignion key.
Level the machine so that both sides are parallel to the ground by adjusng the tractor’s liing arms.
The blades must be at the same distance from the ground on both sides of the implement.
Adjust the tractor lower link arm adjusters 13 to prevent any excessive movement to the side. A
movement of about 50mm each side (2 inches) is recommended.

2. INSTALLATION & SET UP (Connued)
Safety: Ensure tractor and machine is stopped & keys out of ignion before set-up/maintenance.
Aach the PTO driveline checking that it correctly meshes at both ends. If a shear bolt or slip clutch
safety system is used on the PTO sha this must be mounted on the implement end. Check that the
PTO driveline is the correct length. The minimum overlap must be 180mm (6 inches) when working
and the driveline must be able to travel at least 25mm (1 inch).
Always couple the two ends of the driveline and check they are locked in place. Completely insert the
sprung lock pins 1 into the grooves in the PTO sha on both the tractor and machine sides.
The working speed of the machine should always be at a slow walking pace (approx. 1 to 3 mph)
depending on the working condions. Areas with denser stones and soils should be worked at a much
slower pace. The working depth can be adjusted using the rear roller on the machine as required [see
secon on adjusng the lling depth].
Check your PTO sha’s grease points and apply grease if needed. Then aach the PTO drive sha and
ensure the locking pin is secure on both the tractor and mower sides. Aach the chain to a secure
point on the tractor/implement.
Operate the machine with the tractor in low range gear and the PTO delivering 540 RPM.
Pre-Use Checklist
Before starng the machine, always check and adjust the following:
• Blade condion. [Secon 4]
• Gear oil & chain reservoir oil level. [Secons 5 & 6]
• Drive chain tension. [Secon 7]
• Tilling depth adjustment. [Secon 8]
• Lubricaon/grease points. [Secon 10]
• Tightness of all bolts, nuts and screws.
• All protecve guards are in place.

v3 7Winton WSB
3. OPERATING ADVICE
Safety: Ensure tractor and machine is stopped & keys out of ignion before set-up/maintenance.
Working Condions
The working speed of the machine should always be at a slow walking pace (approx. 1 to 3 mph)
depending on the working condions. Compacted ground and denser soil types should be covered at a
slower pace for the best nish and to avoid any damage to the machine. The speed of the tractor also
eects the degree to which the ground is broken up.
To set the opmum speed for your working condions, rst select the lowest gear and progressively
increase unl the most sasfactory result has been idened. Gear down and release the accelerator if
the speed is too fast.
First Use Advice
Lower the tractor li arms unl the blades are near the ground without touching the ground. When
working with the machine the li arms must always be fully lowered and locked into posion to sustain
the working depth of the machine. Working depth should only be regulated by the roller. Then engage
the PTO drive to the rated speed (540 RPM).
Then slowly lower the li arms to the ground to allow the blades to gradually cut into the soil (do not
drop the machine suddenly to the ground). When the machine is working the soil then move away
slowly in a low gear. If you nd the machine is struggling on the surface then lower your speed or raise
the working depth.
Aer having worked for a few meters, stop and check whether the desired result is being obtained.
Make any adjustments which may be necessary and then connue with the job. The worked soil
should always be kept to the driver’s right side.
General Safety Tips
Always raise the implement from the ground during manoeuvres and around bends.
Do not reverse with the machine unless this is strictly necessary. If unavoidable rst disengage the
PTO, then li the implement from the soil and make sure that the manoeuvre area is clear.
Never li the implement more than 25cm from the ground with the PTO driveline engaged or the
driveline could be damaged.
The maximum angle for the driveline with the PTO engaged is 20°. A greater angle may cause strong
vibraons and/or damage to the machine.

v3 8Winton WSB
3. OPERATING ADVICE (Connued)
Safety: Ensure tractor and machine is stopped & keys out of ignion before set-up/maintenance.
Stones and Obstrucons
Always remove any obstrucons, stones or other objects which could hit or become entangled in the
blades. If you have not culvated the land before walk over the land and look out for any visible
objects and also rake over the land to idenfy any non-visible obstrucons.
The rotary ller is not generally suitable for work on very stony soil. A few small stones are usually
tolerated and will create no dicules. On the other hand, working on excessively stony soils can
damage the blades and the machine itself. Such use will also void the guarantee.
Stone Size and Quanty
The machine buries stones in limited quanes and only stones which fall within the size limits
indicated. To ensure the best performance, the stones must not be larger than half the work depth
(e.g. for a job that is 10 cm deep, stones of up to 5 cm can be buried) and a large quanty of stones of
this size should not be in the soil. The opmum working condion is when the quanty of stones does
not exceed 15％ of the volume of earth being worked.
If there are any stones which are larger than the recommendaons, they must be removed before
starng work. If not, they could catch on the rotor and damage the machine. If there is an excessive
quanty of stones on the ground (even if they are smaller than the advised size), the quality of the
work could be compromised as it will not be possible to bury all of them.
Ground Condions & Working on Gradients
Always avoid working on sloping surfaces if possible. If you chose to work on a gradient always take
care, it is preferable to work upwards or downwards rather than across the gradient to minimise the
risk of overturning.
Always check and comply with the tractor manufacturer’s instrucons, parcularly in relaon to the
maximum gradient for working. When working on slopes the working speed should always be reduced,
gradually varying the speed and direcon of the vehicle when manoeuvring.
Never operate on wet, slippery grass or soil or where the tyres are struggling to grip. If this is
unavoidable, always work at a low speed and take care.

v3 9Winton WSB
4. BLADE REPLACEMENT
Safety: Ensure tractor and machine is stopped & keys out of ignion before set-up/maintenance.
Safety: Always take care when handling and changing sharp blades.
Suciently li the machine so that the blades and rotor can be accessed easily. Always support the
machine on rigid supports and ensure it is stable before carrying out any work.
The blades must always be replaced if they are damaged, bent, worn or blunt.
Take care to ensure that the new blades are mounted in the same posion as the old ones and ensure
the sharp side of the blades point in the same direcon as the rotor turns.
The bolts xing the blades to the rotor flange must be mounted with the head of bolt 1 on the blade
side and washer 2 and nut 3 on the flange side.
Changing Blades
1. Remove the blades by unscrewing bolts 1 and nuts 3.
2. Insert the blade/s 4.
3. Replace bolts 1 and nuts 3. Ensure bolt head is on the blade side.

5. GEAR OIL CHANGE & CHECK
Safety: Ensure tractor and machine is stopped & keys out of ignion before set-up/maintenance.
Safety: Always follow manufacturers instrucons for oils and lubricants.
Important Informaon
Do not mix old and new oils together or mix dierent types of oil. Always dispose of old oils safely and
in the correct manor.
Always make sure the machine is on a flat and level surface when checking oil levels. The machine
should be le at a standsll to cool down for at least 10 minutes. Ensure the machine is stable before
carrying out work and will not upturn.
Oil Change/Check Gearbox
1. Remove plugs 1 and 2.
2. The oil level should be up to the edge of level plug 1.
3. Top up with oil (if required) using ller hole 2.
4. Replace both plugs 1 and 2.
Gear Oil Grade 80w90 gear oil (or equivalent) by condion

v3 12 Winton WSB
7. CHAIN TENSIONING
Safety: Ensure tractor and machine is stopped & keys out of ignion before set-up/maintenance.
Safety: Always take care when working near or with sharp blades.
The tension of side transmission chain should be checked and/or adjusted regularly to ensure the
machine is working eciently. It is helpful to have someone assist you on this job, as you will need to
spin the rotor and ghten the tensioner bolt at the same me an this can be tricky alone.
Drive Chain Tensioning
1. Slacken o nut 1 on the chain tensioner a few turns.
2. Tighten the chain tensioner bolt 2 by hand as far a possible.
3. Ask an assistant or use your other hand to turn the blade rotor.
4. When the maximum tension is achieved by hand, unscrew tensioner bolt 2 by one turn.
5. Keep it in this posion by ghtening lock nut 1.
Aer seng the tension, turn the blade rotor several mes by hand to check that it rotates without
encountering any excessive resistance. If the rotor seems to jam in a certain point, repeat the chain
tensioning procedure from the beginning.

8. ADJUSTING TILLING DEPTH
Safety: Ensure tractor and machine is stopped & keys out of ignion before set-up/maintenance.
Safety: Always take care when handling and working near sharp blades.
Geng the set up of your machine correct is the key to creang the best nish when culvang. It is
always best to take several trial runs, to get the set up correct, before tackling a larger area.
The inial set up of the tractor’s top linkage arm and the linkage set up will influence lling. But it is
key to set the rear roller to get the correct depth when culvang.
Roller Adjustment
• Use the bar 1 to twist both of the adjusters 2 (similar to tractor top linkage arms) to extend or
shorten the arms.
• Extending the arms will create a shallower lling depth. Shorten the arms to li the rear roller
and achieve the maximum working depth.

v3 14 Winton WSB
9. SCRAPER BAR ADJUSTMENT
Safety: Ensure tractor and machine is stopped & keys out of ignion before set-up/maintenance.
Safety: Always take care when handling and working near sharp blades.
The scraper bar is designed to clear any excess soil from the mesh roller. It is important to correctly
adjust the scraper bar to ensure there isn’t a build up of material when working.
Roller Scraper Bar Adjustment
1. On both sides of the mesh roller bracket loosen o nuts 2.
2. Then adjust bolts 1 as required.
3. Reghten nuts 2.
Adjust both bolts and check the clearance from the scraper bar to the roller is the same at both ends to
ensure the bar works eciently. Winding the bolts in moves the scraper bar closer to the roller and
outwards increases the clearance.
If you nd the roller is not spinning freely where soil is building up on the roller and not being removed
(usually when ground is wet or in certain soil types), then clean o the roller and wind the bolts
outwards to move the scraper bar away from the roller.

10. SERVICING & MAINTENANCE
Safety: Store all lubricants away from excessive heat, dust, moisture and contaminants.
Safety: Ensure tractor and machine is stopped & keys out of ignion before set-up/maintenance.
Greasing & Lubricaon Points
Wipe grease nipples with a clean cloth before greasing to avoid injecng any dirt and grit. Press
grease into each grease nipple three to ve mes. We recommend using a hand-held grease gun for
best results. If grease nipples will not take grease, remove and clean thoroughly. Also clean lubricant
passageway. If you noce any grease points are broken replace or repair them immediately.
Greasing The PTO Sha x2
Grease both grease points on either end of the PTO sha and apply grease to the inner sha.
Greasing The Blade Rotor Bearing x1
Grease the right bearing of the rotor 1. The le bearing is within the chain casing reservoir and is
lubricated by the oil bath. [See secon on chain reservoir oil check/change].
Greasing The Roller Bearings x2
Apply grease to both of the rear roller bearings 2. There are easy to access grease points on the le
and right of the roller on the inside of the bracket.
*The periods recommended are based on normal operang condions. Severe or unusual condions
may require more frequent maintenance.
Grease Type Mul-purpose lithium based grease
Grease Frequency Check every 4-8 hours (top up if required)
