2 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Safety is the primary concern in the design and manufacture of our products. Unfortunately our efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped out by a single careless act of an operator. In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of equipment. It is the operator’s responsibility to read and understand all safety and operating instructions in the manual and to follow these. Allow only properly trained personnel to operate the shredder. Working with unfamiliar equipment can lead to careless injuries. Read this manual, and the manual for your tractor, before assembly or operation, to acquaint yourself with the machines. It is the shredder owner’s responsibility, if this machine is used by any person other than yourself, is loaned or rented, to make certain that the operator, prior to operating, reads and understands the operator’s manuals and is instructed in safe and proper use.
2.01 - Preparation
1. Before operating equipment read and understand the operator’s manual and the safety signs (see fig. 2).
2. Thoroughly inspect the implement before initial operation to assure that all packaging materials, i.e. wires, bands, and tape have been removed.
3. Personal protection equipment including hard hat, safety glasses, safety shoes, and gloves are recommended during assembly, installation, operation, adjustment, maintaining and/or repairing the implement.
4. Operate the shredder only with a tractor equipped with an approved Roll-Over-Protective-System (ROPS). Always wear your seat belt. Serious injury or even death could result from falling off the tractor.
5. Clear area to be cut of stones, branches or other debris that might be thrown, causing injury or damage.
6. Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.
7. Ensure shredder is properly mounted, adjusted and in good operating condition.
8. Ensure that all safety shielding and safety signs are properly installed and in good condition.

3 - OPERATION
The Destroyer D90 is a sturdy and easy to use flail shredder. It is especially designed to offer the best performance in cutting and pulverizing corn stalks and other row crops, heavy grass from set a side fields, tree prunings in orchards, municipal mowing and wherever professional, accurate and safe shredding are required. Engineered for tractors from 40 to 90 HP with category 1 or 2 three point hitches (quick hitch compatible), the D90 is available in 60”, 72” and 88” cutting widths. All models are equipped with a category 6 driveline with overrunning clutch for 540 rpm PTO’s. Flail shredders are also equipped with an hydraulic side shift that allows for easy and hassle free shredding in hard to reach areas such as under tree limbs or near fences. The hammer type blades turn against the direction of travel and are capable of cutting material up to 2” in diameter. This cutting motion from bottom to top allows for a cleaner finish and ensures safety at all times since all the debris from the mower is blown up and around the rotor of the shredder then straight down to the ground. Destroyer D90 flail shredders can be either front or rear tractor mounted.
3.01 - Operational Safety
CAUTION: Our shredders are designed considering safety as the most important aspect and are the safest available in today’s market. Unfortunately, human carelessness can override the safety features built into our machines. Injury prevention and work safety, aside from the features on our shredders, are very much due to the responsible use of the equipment. It must always be operated prudently following with great care, the safety instructions laid out in this manual.
1. The use of this equipment is subject to certain hazards which cannot be prevented by mechanical means or product design. All operators of this equipment must read and understand this entire manual, paying particular attention to safety and operating instructions, prior to using.
2. Do not operate the tractor and shredder when you are tired, sick or when using medication.
3. Keep all helpers and bystanders at least 100 yards from a flail shredder. Only properly trained people should operate this machine.
4. When this machine is operated in populated areas where thrown objects could injure persons or property, the standard deflector shielding (which is designed to reduce the possibility of thrown objects) must be installed.
5. The majority of accidents involve entanglements on the driveline, injury of bystanders by objects thrown by the rotating blades, and operators being knocked

D
off the tractor by low hanging limbs and then being run over by the shredder. Accidents are most likely to occur with machines that are loaned or rented to someone who has not read the operator’s manual and is not familiar with a flail shredder.
6. Always stop the tractor, set brake, shut off the tractor engine, remove the ignition key, lower implement to the ground and allow shredder blades to come to a complete stop before dismounting tractor. Never leave equipment unattended with the tractor running.
7. Never place hands or feet under shredder with tractor engine running or before you are sure all motion has stopped. Stay clear of all moving parts.
8. Do not allow riders on the shredder or tractor at any time. There is no safe place for riders.
9. Do not operate unless all personnel, livestock and pets are at least 100 yards away to prevent injury by thrown objects.
10.Before backing up, disengage the shredder and look behind carefully.
11.Install and secure all guards and shields before starting or operating.
12.Keep hands, feet, hair and clothing away from moving parts.
13.This flail shredder is designed for use only on tractors with 540 rpm power take off.
14. Never operate tractor and shredder under trees with low hanging limbs. Operators can be knocked off the tractor and then run over by the rotating blades.
15. The rotating parts of this machine have been designed and tested for rugged use. However, they could fail upon impact with heavy, solid objects such as steel guard rails and concrete abutments. Such impact could cause the broken objects to be thrown outward at very high velocities. To reduce the possibility of property damage, serious injury, or even death, never allow the cutting blades to contact such obstacles.
16. Frequently check shredder blades. They should be sharp, free of nicks and cracks and securely fastened.
17.Stop shredder immediately upon striking an obstruction. Turn engine off, remove key, inspect and repair any damage before resuming operation.
18. Stay alert for holes, rocks and roots in the terrain and other hidden hazards. Keep away from drop-offs.
19.Use extreme care and maintain minimum ground speed when transporting on hillside, over rough ground and when operating close to ditches or fences. Be careful when turning sharp corners.
20. Reduce speed on slopes and sharp turns to minimize tipping or loss of control. Be careful when changing directions on slopes. Do not start or stop suddenly on slopes. Avoid operation on steep slopes.
21. When using a unit, a minimum 20% of tractor and equipment weight must be on tractor front wheels. Without this weight, tractor could tip over, causing personal injury or death. The weight may be attained with a front end loader, front wheel weights, ballast in tires or front tractor weights. When attaining a minimum 20% of tractor and equipment weight on the front wheels, you must not exceed the ROPS weight certification. Weigh the tractor and equipment. Do not guess or estimate!

22. Inspect the entire machine periodically2. Look for loose fasteners, worn or broken parts, and leaky or loose fittings.
23. Use only the driveline supplied with the shredder. Do not use it if it is missing any shield or safety protection.
24. Pass diagonally through sharp dips and avoid sharp drops to prevent “hanging up” tractor and shredder.
25.Avoid sudden starts and stops while traveling up or downhill.
26. Always cut down slopes; never across the face. Avoid operation on steep slopes. Slow down on sharp turns and slopes to prevent tipping and/or loss of control.
3.02 - Set Up
Notice to dealer: Pre-delivery setup and service including lubrication is the responsibility of the authorized dealer. It is up to him to assure that the machine is in perfect condition and ready to be used. It is his responsibility to ensure that the customer is aware of all safety aspects and operational procedures for the shredder. He must also fill out the Pre-Delivery Checklist3 prior to delivering the shredder.
CAUTION: Stand clear of bands when cutting as they could be under sufficient tension to cause them to fly loose. Take care in removing bands and wire, they often have extremely sharp edges and cut very easily.
Flail shredders may be either front or rear mounted to the tractor. Front mounting application requires a tractor that is equipped with a forward PTO and three point hitch. Setting up the shredder for a front mount application can easily be done at an Authorized Company Dealership and is accomplished by turning the three point hitch and the gearbox 180° (see fig. 3).

3.03 - Cutting Height Adjustment
WARNING: Keep hands and feet away from moving blades. Be sure tractor engine is off, parking brake is locked, and key is removed before making any adjustments. Never rely on the tractor lift system. Install blocks or stands under the shredder deck to prevent it from falling.
The cutting height is the distance from the blades to the ground. It is changed by adjusting the position of the rear roller (see fig. 4). All shredders are equipped with a roller scraper that helps keep the roller clean and the cutting height consistent.
1
Fig. 4 The cutting height changes by adjusting the position of the rear roller.
The machine has 9 different cutting height positions. The cutting height is adjustable from ¾” to 5” in approximately ½” increments. Cutting lower than 2”
under most circumstances should be avoided. Make sure blades do not touch the ground. Blades that contact the ground will wear out faster and may cause excessive vibration to the rotor.
To change the cutting height do the following (see fig. 4):
1. Unbolt and remove the 4 bolts, 2 on each side, (see #1, fig. 4) that secure the roller height position.
2. Move the roller into its desired position and insert the bolts into two of the available holes. Tighten all 4 bolts. Assembling the roller to the lower holes will increase cutting height while assembling the roller to the higher holes will reduce cutting height.
OPERATION 13 BEFCO
Page 14
ESTROYER D90 OPERATOR’S MANUAL
D
3. Ensure the left and right roller brackets are in the same hole position in order to maintain a level roller which is parallel to the ground. Be sure the shredder is level and lock the tractor arms so they will not float down or up when cutting.
IMPORTANT: Very low cutting heights should be avoided. Damaging shock loads occur when the blades strike the ground repeatedly. This can cause damage to the flail shredder.
3.04 - Pre-Operational Check
IMPORTANT: Check each of the following, carefully, prior to engaging the equipment:
1. The rotor and roller bearings have been greased.
2. The oil in the gearbox.
3. The driveline cross and bearings have been greased.
4. No wrappings or foreign objects are around the blades, belts or driveline.
5. The blades are properly installed and the blade bolts properly torqued
6. All hardware is tight.
7. The tractor, to ensure correct direction of PTO and rpm speed.
8. All safety shields and guards are in place and tightly attached.
9. No people or animals are in the work area.
10. When working, make sure the tractor hitch is locked in position so the front of the flail shredder will not float down while shredding.

CAUTION: Never attempt to attach the shredder to the tractor or make any adjustments to it without first turning the tractor off.
DANGER: Failure to ensure a secure coupling of the implement to the tractor can cause injury and damage to the implement or tractor. If necessary, wheel weights, front tractor weights and/or tire ballast should be used to improve stability. Be sure that the tractor tire pressure is correct. It is important to strictly follow the safety guidelines and instructions laid out in the tractor operator’s manual.
To attach the shredder to the tractor do the following:
1. Back the tractor up to the shredder in order to slip the tractor hitch arms over the hitch pins on the shredder hitch arms. Turn off the tractor engine. Secure them in place with the lynch pins.
2. Adjust the tractor sway blocks or chains to remove all side movement.
3. Attach the top link. Adjust tractor top link to allow the shredder, in the working position, to remain as level as possible with respect to the ground.
4. Install the shielded driveline to the tractor by first lining up the splines and depressing the snap pin. Push the yoke onto the PTO shaft as far as it will go. Release the pin and pull back slowly until the pin clicks in place. Repeat this operation on the implement end. Be sure to install the overrunning clutch side of the PTO shaft on the implement.
5. Attach the driveline chains to the tractor and to the shredder to keep the driveline protection from turning. The chains should not be too tight.
6. Ensure the driveline has at least 2” from bottoming out in its shortest working position and has the minimum 6” overlap in its longest working position. Refer to
Section 4.086 of this manual, if it is determined that the driveline is too long and
needs to be shortened. Contact your Authorized Company Dealer if it is determined that the driveline is too short for your tractor.
DANGER: The shredder must always be lowered to the ground before starting tractor engine or engaging PTO lever.

control lever in this position. With the engine idling, slowly engage the PTO drive. Move the throttle lever gradually until the PTO speed indicated on the shredder is obtained. The shredder is designed for a PTO speed of 540 rpm. Shift the transmission to a slow speed gear and start forward, increase the ground speed by shifting upward until the desired speed is obtained. Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary and only after careful observation of the area behind the shredder.
CAUTION: Do not operate this shredder at a PTO speed or direction of rotation other than that shown on the shredder. Serious damage can occur to the machine and/or the operator.
Before starting to mow, never forget that the operator is responsible for the following:
1. Safe and correct driving of the tractor and shredder.
2. To learn precise safe operating procedures for both the tractor and the shredder.
3. To ensure all maintenance and lubrication has been performed on the shredder.
4. To have read and understood all safety aspects for the shredder in the operator’s manual.
5. To have read and understood all safety decals on the shredder.
6. Checking the condition of the blades. Worn or damaged blades should be changed before starting7.
7. Checking to ensure that the cutting edge is the leading edge of the blade8.
8. Checking that there is no wire, weed, grass or other material wrapped around blades.
9. Checking to see if front weights need to be added to the tractor in order to maintain balance.
10. Checking the tractor tires for the proper pressure in accordance with the tractor’s operator’s manual.
11. Checking that the PTO shield, belt shield, front deflector shields and all other shielding are on the machine and securely in place.
12.Making sure the proper attire is worn. Avoiding loose fitting clothing which can become entangled. Wearing sturdy, tough-soled work shoes and protective equipment for eyes, hands, ears and head. Never operate tractor or implements in bare feet, sandals or sneakers.
13.Checking area for stones, branches and other debris that might be thrown.
14.Ensuring proper lighting is available, sunlight or good artificial lighting.
The shredding speed depends on ground conditions, tractor HP, shredding height, and material thickness. Under most conditions a 1 to 4 mph ground speed is best. When mowing in areas with thick prunings of up to 2” in diameter, it is advisable to operate the

OPERATION 16 BEFCO
See Section 4.03 - Blade Maintenance. See Section 4.03 - Blade Maintenance.
3.07 - Working Speed
Page 17
ESTROYER D90 OPERATOR’S MANUAL
D
machine at a speed of 1 mph. When mowing light grass, a speed of approximately 4 mph will work best. Only a test run will enable you to gauge the optimal working speed for your conditions. As a rule of thumb, and if the conditions permit, grass dispersion is increased by higher ground speeds. In order to obtain the best cut possible, always keep the tractor rpm up to the speed indicated on the shredder. When increasing or decreasing shredding ground speed, always use gear selection, not engine speed. This will maintain the constant maximum blade speed necessary for a clean cut.
CAUTION: Do not operate this shredder faster than 6 mph. Serious damage can occur to the machine and/or the operator.
3.08 - Operating Techniques
All of the following factors are important in selecting the proper forward speed:
1. Height of grass.
2. Type of grass.
3. Density of grass.
4. Type of terrain.
5. Grass condition, wet or dry.
For the best results, try cutting the grass at least once per week during growing season. Tall, dense grass should be cut at low speed, while thin medium grass can be cut at a faster ground speed. Always operate PTO at 540 rpm. This is necessary to maintain proper blade speed and obtain a clean cut.
Under certain conditions, tractor tires may roll some grass down and prevent it from being cut at the same height as the surrounding area. If this occurs reduce the tractor ground speed but maintain a 540 rpm engine speed. The lower ground speed will permit the grass to at least partially rebound. Under some conditions grass will not rebound enough to be cut even, resulting in an uneven appearance. In general, lower cutting height gives a more even cut with less tendency to leave tire tracks. If cut is still not satisfactory, cut the area twice. Mow extremely tall grass twice. On the first pass use a high cutting height. On the second pass, position the shredder at the desired height and, when practical, mow at a right angle of travel to the first pass.
Plan your pattern to travel straight forward whenever possible. It is better to cut grass more often, than too short. Short grass deteriorates rapidly in hot weather and invites weed growth during growing season.
If at any time the shredder should jam resulting in belt slippage of 2 or more seconds, raise the shredder and continue for 2-3 minutes. This will allow the pulleys to cool and prolong belt life.
OPERATION 17 BEFCO
Page 18
ESTROYER D90 OPERATOR’S MANUAL

DANGER: Never operate the shredder without first ensuring that all protective devices are properly installed. The shredder blades can throw objects 100 yards or more which could result in personal or property damage. Pick up all rocks and other debris before shredding. Enter new areas carefully. Cut grass higher at first, allowing shredder to clear hidden objects.
CAUTION: For emergency reasons learn how to stop the tractor and shredder quickly. On the flail shredders always disengage the PTO, lock parking brake, stop engine and allow the shredder blades to come to a complete stop before dismounting the tractor.
3.09 - Hydraulic Side Shift
D90 flail shredders can be offset to facilitate mowing closer to fences or under tree limbs. A double action hydraulic cylinder allows the 60” unit to be offset up to 12” to the right while the 72” and 88” units can be offset up to 16”. Two hydraulic remotes are required on the tractor to side shift the shredder left and right.
Fig. 5 Hydraulic side shift 12" offset on 60" shredder 16" offset on 72" & 88" shredders
WARNING: High pressure hydraulic oil leaks can penetrate skin resulting in injury, gangrene or death. Be sure to relieve any hydraulic oil pressure before disconnecting any lines or pipes between shredder and tractor hydraulic system. Check for oil leaks using a cardboard, never use hands.

3.10 - Uneven Terrain
DANGER: Be careful of rollover when operating tractor and shredder over uneven ground.
The following precautions should always be observed when working on uneven terrain:
1. In extremely uneven terrain rear wheel weights, front tractor weights, and/or tire ballast should be used to improve stability.
2. Observe the type of terrain and develop a safe working pattern.
3. Whenever traction or stability is doubtful, first test drive over the terrain with the PTO disengaged.
4. Operate the implement up and down steep slopes, not across slopes, to prevent the tractor from tipping. Avoid sudden stops and starts, and slow down before changing directions on a slope.
5. Pass diagonally through sharp dips and avoid sharp drops to prevent hanging up the tractor and implement.
6. Slow down on sharp turns and slopes to prevent tipping or loss of control.
7. Avoid tipping the shredder while cutting.
8. Watch for holes, roots or other hidden objects. Do not use near the edge of a gully, ditch or stream bank.
3.11 - Removing Shredder from the Tractor
CAUTION: Disengage tractor PTO. Set parking brake. Stop engine and remove key from ignition. Disconnect shredder driveline from tractor PTO shaft. Collapse driveline and store in appropriate place. Disconnect three point linkage and carefully drive tractor away from shredder.
3.12 - Transport
CAUTION: Make sure PTO is disengaged and blades have stopped turning before raising shredder to full transport position. Do not tow tractor and shredder behind other vehicles. Use a properly equipped trailer with heavy tie-downs for towing operations.
Before transporting:
1. Always select a safe ground speed that is appropriate for the terrain.
OPERATION 19 BEFCO

2. Beware of traffic on public roads. Install a SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) sign when traveling on roads or streets. Comply with all federal, state and local laws.
3. Reduce ground speed when turning and take care that the implement does not strike obstacles such as trees, fences or buildings.
4. Always disengage PTO before raising the implement to transport position.
5. When raising the shredder be sure the PTO driveline does not hit either the shredder or the tractor.
6. During transport the shredder should not be lifted over 14”-16” from the ground.

4.02 - Service
The accompanying illustrations show lubrication points. The chart gives the frequency of lubrication in hours, based on normal operating conditions. Severe or unusual conditions may require more frequent lubrication. Use a good quality SAE multipurpose type grease for all locations shown. Be sure to clean fittings thoroughly before using grease gun. Use 90 wt. gear oil in gearbox.
Fig. 6 Lubrication of the rotor and roller bearings.
Hourly or whenever an obstacle is hit:
1. Check the conditions of the blades, blade carrier brackets welded to the rotor, proper blade mountings or broken or missing blades. Even a single missing or broken
blade can unbalance the rotor and create serious damage to the shredder or cause grave danger to bystanders.
2. Do not continue shredding if even one blade is broken or missing. Broken or missing blades must be replaced immediately10. Heavily worn blades should be replaced as a complete set in order to maintain a balanced rotor.
3. Remove any wrappings, weeds, paper, wire, etc., from the blades and rotor.
10
MAINTENANCE 22 BEFCO
See Section 4.03 - Blade Maintenance.
Page 23
ESTROYER D90 OPERATOR’S MANUAL

Every 8 hours:
1. Lubricate driveline: Apply two or three shots of grease to the driveline cross and
bearings and the telescoping shafts. See the driveline manufacturer operator’s manual for further information on the driveline.
2. Lubricate roller bearings and rotor support bearings (see fig. 6): Apply two or three shots of grease to the roller bearings and to the rotor bearings on each side of the machine.
3. Check gearbox oil level by removing the breather plug. Using a flashlight, check inside the gearbox to verify that it is approximately ½ full. When filled correctly the oil level should be approximately halfway on the input shaft. When fully drained gearbox requires approximately 61 fl. oz. (1.9 qt.) of oil. If needed add SAE 90W gear oil. Note: Never overfill gearbox. Oil will expand when hot. Overfilling will likely cause excess oil to blow out of breather cap.
Every 25 hours:
1. Check hardware tightness; shredder vibration can loosen bolts11. Check tightness
of the hardware periodically.
2. Check belt tension12.
DANGER: The beginning of abnormal vibrations from the rotor may mean it is out of balance. A single broken or missing blade is enough to cause this. An unbalanced rotor, due to its high rotation speed, can dislodge itself from the side bearing supports thus damaging the shredder and cause serious injury to persons nearby. Always find the source of the vibration. Bring the rotor back in balance by replacing blades, removing wrappings, etc. If this does not remove the vibrations, the rotor may have to be rebalanced at one of our Authorized Company Dealerships.
4.03 - Blade Maintenance
WARNING: To avoid possible injury always wear proper eye and hand protection when servicing shredder blade.
In order for the shredder to work properly, and to always obtain a precision cut with lower HP requirements thus keeping cost down, proper blade maintenance is important. Blades must be kept sharp, at their original length and corners maintained. A blade must be replaced if, due to wear or damage, its original shape has been distorted. Blades should be replaced when their total length is less than 5” or when the hole that the blade bolt is assembled through has ovalized 5/64” over its original diameter (see. fig. 7).

Installing or removing blades
If the shredder blades need to be replaced, do the following (see. fig. 8):
1. Loosen and remove the lock nuts.
2. Remove the worn blades from the blade carrier welded onto the rotor. Replace with new blades.
3. Ensure the cutting edge of the blades is the leading edge in the direction of rotation.
4. Replace the bolt and tighten using a new nut then torque to 250 N.m. (185 lb.ft).

more from the shredder. Ensure that once the bolts are tight, the blades are able to pivot freely. This is imperative to not cause damage to the shredder.
DANGER: Always remember the rotor must remain well balanced at all times to avoid dangerous vibrations which can damage the overall structure of the shredder and cause serious injury to any nearby persons. It is therefore recommended that whenever worn blades are changed, the entire set be changed to avoid unbalancing the rotor with blades of different weights. If a single blade or set in a certain area is replaced, it is best to also replace the blade or set of blades opposite to maintain balance. If after replacing some of the blades, the vibration remains or increases, it is best to then replace the entire set. If this still does not remove the vibrations, the shredder should be taken to an Authorized Company Dealership to determine if it is necessary to rebalance the rotor.
CAUTION: When the blades are replaced, it is important that all the blades are of the same type and weight. A rotor unbalanced by different blades can damage the shredder.
CAUTION: Do not substitute blades or any bolt for the blade retaining bolt. Company blades and blade retaining bolts are specially made for this application. Using non original parts can effect the quality of cut and may also cause damage to the shredder.
4.04 - Belt Tension
Belt tension control
Check the tension of the four belts (see fig. 9) by applying a force of 12-15 lb. pushing against each belt halfway between the pulleys. The belt deflection should be between
5
/16”-3/8”.
Belt tension adjustment
The Destroyer D90 flail shredder is equipped with a lateral belt transmission with a manually loaded belt tensioner. The tension is applied by a tensionner pulley and is regulated with an adjustment bolt (see #6, fig. 9) which protrudes from the belt shield.
To adjust the tension do the following (see fig. 9):
1. Loosen the locking nut.
2. Screw the adjustment nut until the correct belt tension is reached.

4.05 - Belt Replacement
If the belts have been stretched or damaged to the point where the proper tension can not be obtained they must be changed. All four belts must be changed at the same time.
To replace the belts do the following:
1. With the shredder stopped supported by stands, remove the belt shield. Clean the belts, pulleys and shield of grass, dust and dirt.
2. Loosen the locking nut and unscrew the adjustment bolt (see fig. 9).
3. Remove the old belts one at a time and replace them with the new belts using a screwdriver if needed.
4. Tighten the belts with the adjustment bolt then secure it with the locking nut.
5. Ensure that the belts are at the proper tension (see fig. 9).
6. Replace the belt shield.
For proper operation and extended belt life the upper and lower pulley of the shredder need to always work aligned to one another. After replacing the belts, place a straight edge over two sides of each pulley to check their alignment (see fig. 10). If the pulleys are aligned the straight edge should lay evenly across the surface of both pulleys

4.07 - Reverse Gearbox Direction
The D90 flail shredder in its standard configuration is to be used with a tractor that has a shaft that turns clockwise. It is possible to reverse the direction of rotation of the output shaft on the gearbox and therefore to use the flail shredder with a tractor that has a shaft with a counter clockwise rotation. To reverse the direction it is necessary to move the ring gear to the other side of the PTO shaft and to replace the overrunning clutch with a left-turning clutch. This operation entails opening the drive transmission. We recommend this be done only at an Authorized Company Dealership.
Note: The flail shredder comes with a PTO driveline equipped with a right-turning overrunning clutch (clockwise). Always check the direction of rotation on the tractor’s PTO to be sure it is the same as the overrunning clutch. If the tractor comes with a left-turning PTO (counter clockwise) the overrunning clutch must be changed to left-turning as well.
4.08 - Driveline
DANGER: Only use the original driveline supplied with this shredder and always with the safety shielding. Carefully read and file away the driveline operator’s manual supplied by the manufacturer. The following does not substitute the information found in the driveline manual.
MAINTENANCE 27 BEFCO
Page 28
ESTROYER D90 OPERATOR’S MANUAL
D
IMPORTANT: Always check driveline length during initial setup and when connecting to a different tractor.
In the collapsed position the driveline should be approximately 2” from bottoming out to prevent possible damage to the tractor or implement. When the driveline is in the maximum extended position, the ideal minimum overlap of the two halves should be approximately 6” (see fig. 11).
Fig. 11
min. 6"
MAX.
min. 2"
MIN.
If determined that the driveline is too long, follow these procedures to adjust the length:
1. Separate the two driveline halves. Connect one half to the tractor PTO and the other half to the shredder.
2. Raise and lower the shredder with the 3 point hitch to find the position where the driveline is shortest. Hold the half shafts side by side and mark the desired length on
1
the outer female tube guard leaving a 1
/2” gap between the end of the guard tube
and bell guard.
3. Cut off both guard tubes the same amount as marked in step 2.
4. Shorten both drive tubes the same amount as guard tubes.
5. De-burr and clean filings from drive tubes and apply grease to outside of inner telescoping tube.
6. Reassemble the driveline halves and connect to tractor and shredder. Raise and lower shredder again to be sure driveline does not bottom out in its shortest position and has a minimum overlap of 6” in the longest position.
7. Install both driveline safety chains. One should be hooked in a hole on the outer driveline yoke shield and to the tractor to restrict outer shield rotation. The second one should be hooked in a hole on the inner driveline yoke shield and to the implement to restrict inner shield rotation.
If determined that the driveline is too short for your tractor, contact your Authorized Company Dealer.
MAINTENANCE 28 BEFCO
Page 29
ESTROYER D90 OPERATOR’S MANUAL
D
CAUTION: Always work with the driveline as straight as possible. This will prolong its life and that of its components. It is advised not to work at an angle greater than 15 degrees.
4.09 - Overrunning Clutch
The shredder is supplied with a PTO driveline that comes equipped with an overrunning clutch. The PTO yoke end is attached to the tractor’s PTO, while the end with the overrunning clutch is attached to the shredder. The purpose of the overrunning clutch is to transmit power in one direction only. The overrunning clutch is indispensable for use on very fast operating machines, because when the rotation is suddenly halted, the inertia reverses the direction of rotation which could cause implement or tractor damage and put the operator or bystander in danger.
