SAFETY

WARNING! The operator and all support personnel should wear hard hats,

safety shoes, safety glasses, and proper hearing protection at all
times for protection from injury including injury from items thrown by
the equipment. (SG-16)

CAUTION!

WARNING!

PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE PERMA­NENT HEARING LOSS! Tractors with or without an Implement at-

tached can often be noisy enough to cause permanent hearing loss.
We recommend that you always wear hearing protection if the noise in
the operator’s position exceeds 80db. Noise over 85db over an ex­tended period of time will cause severe hearing loss. Noise over 90db
adjacent to the operator over an extended period of time will cause
permanent or total hearing loss. Note: Hearing loss from loud noise
[from tractors, chain saws, radios, and other such sources close to the
ear] is cumulative over a lifetime without hope of natural recovery.

sure you abide by the following rules:

1.

T est the tractor at a slow speed and increase the speed slowly.

Apply the brakes smoothly to determine the stopping characteristics

of the Tractor and Implement. As you increase the speed of the

Tractor the stopping distance increases. Determine the maximum

safe transport speed for you and this equipment.

Test the equipment at a slow speed in turns. Increase the speed

2.

through the turn only after you determine that it is safe to operate
at a higher speed. Use extreme care and reduce your speed
when turning sharply to prevent the tractor and implement from
turning over. Determine the maximum safe turning speed for you
and this equipment before operating on roads or uneven ground.

Only transport the Tractor and Implement at the speeds that you

3.

have determined are safe and which allow you to properly
control the equipment.

Be aware of the operating conditions. Do not operate the Tractor
with weak or faulty brakes. When operating down a hill or on wet

DANGER!

DANGER!

There are obvious and hidden potential hazards in the operation of this
Mower. REMEMBER! This machine is often operated in heavy brush
and in heavy weeds. The Blades of this Mower can throw objects if
shields are not properly installed and maintained. Serious injury or
even death may occur unless care is taken to insure the safety of the
operator, bystanders, or passersby in the area. Do not operate this
machine with anyone in the immediate area. Stop mowing if anyone
is within 100 yards of mower. (SFL-1)

All Safety Shields, Guards and Safety devices including
(but not limited to) - the Deflectors, Steel Guards,
Gearbox Shields, PTO integral shields , and Retractable
Door Shields should be used and maintained in good
working condition. All safety devices should be in­spected carefully at least daily for missing or broken
components. Missing, broken, or worn items must be
replaced at once to reduce the possibility of injury or
death from thrown objects, entanglement, or blade con­tact. (SFL-5)

Side & Rear flail Safety Section 1-7

SAFETY

DANGER! The rotating parts of this machine have been designed and tested for

rugged use. However, the blades could fail upon impact with heavy,
solid objects such as metal guard rails and concrete structures. 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. (SGM-4)

WARNING!

WARNING!

WARNING!

Extreme care should be taken when operating near loose objects such
as gravel, rocks, wire, and other debris. Inspect the area before
mowing. Foreign objects should be removed from the site to prevent
machine damage and/or bodily injury or even death. Any objects that
cannot be removed must be clearly marked and carefully avoided by
the operator. Stop mowing immediately if blades strike a foreign
object. Repair all damage and make certain rotor or blade carrier is
balanced before resuming mowing. (SGM-5)

Many varied objects, such as wire, cable, rope, or chains, can become
entangled in the operating parts of the mower head. These items could
then swing outside the housing at greater velocities than the blades. Such
a situation is extremely hazardous and could result in serious injury or
even death. Inspect the cutting area for such objects before mowing.
Remove any like object from the site. Never allow the cutting blades to
contact such items. (SGM-6)

Mow at the speed that you can safely operate and control the tractor and
mower. Safe mowing speed depends on terrain condition and grass type,
density, and height of cut. Normal ground speed range is from 0 to 5 mph.
Use slow mowing speeds when operating on or near steep slopes,
ditches, drop-offs, overhead obstructions, power lines, or when debris and
foreign objects are to be avoided. (SGM-7)

WARNING!

DANGER!

WARNING!

Avoid mowing in reverse direction when possible. Check to make sure
there are no persons behind the mower and use extreme care when
mowing in reverse. Mow only at a slow ground speed where you can safely
operate and control the tractor and mower. Never mow an area that you
have not inspected and removed debris or foreign material. (SGM-8)

Replace bent or broken blade with new blades. NEVER ATTEMPT TO
STRAIGHTEN OR WELD ON BLADES SINCE THIS WILL LIKELY
CRACK OR OTHERWISE DAMAGE THE BLADE WITH SUBSE­QUENT FAILURE AND POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY FROM THROWN
BLADES. (SGM-10)

Do not mow with two machines in the same area except with Cab tractors
with the windows closed. (SGM-11)

Side & Rear flail Safety Section 1-8

SAFETY

DANGER!

DANGER!

Flail Mowers are capable under adverse conditions of throwing objects
for great distances (100 yards or more) and causing serious injury or
death. Follow safety messages carefully.

STOP MOWING IF PASSERSBY ARE WITHIN 100 YARDS UN­LESS:

-Front and Rear Deflectors are installed and in good,

working condition;

-Mower Head is running close to and parallel to the ground

without exposed Blades;

-Passersby are outside the existing thrown-object zone;

-All areas have been thoroughly inspected and all foreign

material such as rocks, cans, glass, and general debris

has been removed.

NOTE:

Do not put hands or feet under mower decks. Blade Contact can result
in serious injury or even death. Stay away until all motion has stopped
and the decks are securely blocked up. (SFL-2)

Where there are grass and weeds high enough to hide debris
that could be struck by the blades, the area should be: in­spected and large debris removed, mowed at an intermediate
height, inspected closely with any remaining debris being re­moved, and mowed again at desired final height. (SFL-6)

WARNING!

WARNING!

WARNING!

Each Rear Wheel must have a minimum of 1,000 pounds contact with
the surface to prevent lateral instability and possible tip-over which
could result in serious bodily injury or even death. Widen the wheel
tread and add weights if needed. Refer to the mounting instructions
or call Customer Service if you need assistance with Couterweight
Procedure. (SFL-3)

Do not operate Mower if excessive vibration exists. Shut down PTO
and the Tractor engine. Inspect the Mower to determine the source
of the vibration. If Mower blades are missing or damaged replace
them immediately. Do not operate the mower until the blades have
been replaced and the Mower operates smoothly. Operating the
Mower with excessive vibration can result in component failure and
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 Mower to be operated with blades missing. (SFL-4)

Be particularly careful when transporting the Implement with the Tractor.
Turn curves or go up hills only at a low speed and using a gradual
steering angle. Rear mounted implements move the center of gravity to
the rear and remove weight from the front wheels. Make certain, by
adding front ballast, that at least 20% of the tractor’s weight is on the
front wheels to prevent rearing up, loss of steering control or Tractor tip­over. Slow down on rough or uneven surfaces to prevent loss of

steering control which could result in property damage or possible injury.

Do not transport unless 3-Point lift lever is fully raised and in the latched
transport position. Dropping implement in transport can cause serious
damage to the tractor and/or Implement and possibly cause the operator
or others to be injured or killed. (S3PT-2)

Side & Rear flail Safety Section 1-9

SAFETY

DANGER!

WARNING!

WARNING!

DANGER!

Always disconnect the main PTO Driveline from the Tractor before
performing service on the Mower. Never work on the Mower with the
tractor PTO driveline connected and running. Blades or Drivelines could
turn without warning and cause immediate entanglement, injury or death.

(SRM-3)

Do not let the Blades turn when the Mower Deck is raised for any
reason, including clearance or for turning. Raising the Mower
deck exposes the Cutting Blades which creates a potentially
serious hazard and could cause serious injury or even death from
objects thrown from the Blades.

Never leave Tractor and Implement unattended while the implement is in
the lifted position. Accidental operation of lifting lever or a hydraulic failure
may cause sudden drop of unit with injury or death by crushing. To
properly park the implement when disconnecting it from the tractor, lower
the stand and put the retaining pin securely in place, or put a secure
support under the A-Frame. Lower the implement carefully to the ground.
Do not put hands or feet under lifted components. (SPT-1)

Make sure the PTO shield, integral driveline shields, and input shields are
is installed when using PTO-driven equipment. Always replace any
shield if it is damaged or missing. (S3PT-8)

(SRM-7)

WARNING!

WARNING! Use extreme care when lowering or unfolding the implement’s wings.

DANGER!

DANGER!

Relieve hydraulic pressure prior to doing any maintenance or repair work
on the Implement. Place the Implement on the ground or securely
blocked up, disengage the PTO, and turn off the tractor engine. Push
and pull the Remote Cylinder lever in and out several times prior to
starting any maintenance or repair work. (S3PT-9)

Make sure no bystanders are close by or underneath the wings. Allow
ample clearance around the implement when folding or unfolding the
wings. Use extreme caution around buildings or overhead power lines.

(S3PT-5)

When the Wings are folded for transport, the center of gravity is raised
and the possibility of overturn is increased. Drive slowly and use
extremecaution when turning on hillsides. Overturning the Implement
could cause the Implement to overturn the Tractor and vice versa resulting
in serious injury or even death. Never fold wings on a hillside...the
Implement may overturn. (STI-2)

DO NOT allow any person under a folded wing unless wing is securely
locked up or supported. DO NOT approach the Implement unless the
Tractor is turned off and all motion has ceased. Never work under the

frame work, or any lifted component unless the implement is securely
supported or blocked up. A sudden or inadvertent fall by any of these
components could cause serious injury or even death. (STI-3)

DANGER!

WARNING!

WARNING!

WARNING!

The flail cutter shaft is designed for standard rotation (same
rotation as the tractor wheels during forward travel). Never operate the
cutter shaft in the reverse rotation. Operating this mower in reverse
rotation may cause objects to be thrown out the front of the mower
head.

The rotating parts of this machine continue to rotate even after the PTO has been turned
off. The operator should remain in his seat for 60 seconds after the brake has been set,
the PTO disengaged, the tractor turned off, and all evidence of rotation has ceased.

FINAL PREPARATION FOR OPERATION

Place operators safety and operation decals on the steering column and side
console where they are clearly visible to the operator . These decals should be
understood by each operator of the machine in conjunction with the safety and
operation section of this book. The decals are to remain in good condition as a
reminder to the operator , and should be replaced if damaged.

Finally, all bosses, pins and pivot points will need to be greased as instructed in
the maintenance section of this manual. The hydraulic reservoir can also be filled
with the recommended fluid (see maintenance section) and the filter installed in the
top of the tank. Double check all fittings and fasteners BEFORE starting tractor.
Also secure any loose hoses together with zip ties and wrap with split hoses where
friction may occur on the hoses.

BEFORE starting or operating the tractor you must read and understand
the safety and operation sections of this manual completely.

BE SURE THE BALL VALVES ARE OPEN! Start tractor and allow instruments
to stabilize. Using a piece of paper or cardboard as noted in the safety and
maintenance sections, check all fittings and connections for hydraulic leaks.

If a leak is found, you must shut down the tractor, set the cutter on the ground.
Before attempting to fix the leak, you must actuate the lift valve handles several times
to relieve any pressure in the lines.

Before operating the mower, the cutter head and boom should be slowly
moved throughout the full range of motion. Watch for any condition that would cause
pinching or excess stress on the hoses. The steering and front axle travel should
also be carefully moved through their full range of motion. If any condition occurs in
which the hoses contact the tires, the steering and / or front axle travel may need to
be limited as described in the tractor operators manual. This should also be done if
the tires rub, or are extremely close to any other part of the mower such as the
hydraulic tank or draft beam. This may include adding shims, or adjusting stop bolts
in the tractor front to solve the problem. While checking motion, you should also
check that the control circuits are connected according to the operators decal for the
valve handles.

MOWER TESTING

Take the tractor to a place free of loose objects on the ground. Operate the
cylinders through their full range of motion again, to clear the lines of air . Follow the
instructions in the operation section to operate the mower. Vibration of the mower
should be minimal at all times. After a 5 minute test run, the knife bolts should be
retorqued and once again after the first few hours of operation.

Before any operation of tractor and mower, the user should read and
understand the safety and operating instructions for both the tractor and
the mower. The user should also be familiar with the location and
functions of the units instruments and controls. Being familiar with the

machine and it’s controls will increase efficiency and reduce possibility of
serious injury or damage to the unit. The operator should work slowly and carefully
until he feels comfortable with the machine. S peed and skill will be attained much
easier if the necessary time is spent to familiarize yourself with the machine and its
operations.

Since tractor makes and models vary, we recommend reading and following the

operators manual provided by the manufacturer pertaining to your particular unit.

Side & Rear Flail Operation Section 3-2

OPERATION

STARTING TRACTOR AND MOWER

Check the operators manual received from the tractor manufacturer, for

their recommendation and procedures pertaining to your particular make and model.

When rotating parts are in motion, serious injury may occur if caution is

not used or danger is not recognized. Never allow bystanders within 300

feet of the machine when mower is in operation.

Be sure the ball valves on the mower hydraulic tank are OPEN before

starting the tractor. Serious damage to the hydraulic system can occur if

the valves are not open.

Check to make sure mower switch is in the “OFF” position. The unit is

designed not to start if the switch is in the “on” position. If tractor starts

with switch on, turn off tractor and contact your local Tiger dealership for

assistance.

Start the tractor and allow the instruments to stabilize. Without starting the
mower, practice positioning the boom and deck. Remember, speed and skill will be
attained easier if the necessary time is spent familiarizing yourself with the machine
and its operations. When you feel comfortable at controlling the position of the
mower, return the mower to the travel position, and transport the mower to the
desired mowing location.

If mowing for the first time with a Tiger Boom Mower, we recommend choosing a
ditch or area relatively flat with a minimum of sign posts, guard rails, etc. As always,
you should inspect the area for other objects that can cause potential hazards.

The Mower Control switch turns the mower “ON” and “OFF”. This switch is to be
in the “OFF” position to start the tractor. The tractor will not start with the switch in
the “ON” position.

If tractor starts with switch on, turn off tractor and contact
your local Tiger dealership for assistance.

CONTROL LOCATION AND FUNCTIONS

The side mower height is controlled with a two or three spool valve and is
coordinated as shown below. The optional three spool valve allows for the operation
of a rear rotary mower or side ditcher . If the unit is equipped with a three spool valve,
do not operate the third spool handle unless a rear rotary or ditcher is mounted.

Side & Rear Flail Operation Section 3-3

OPERATION

The rear mower height is controlled with the 3-point hitch control lever. Follow the
instructions for this control is the tractor operators manual. The tilt of the rear mower is
controlled with the third spool if the lift valve and is coordinated as shown above.

The side and rear mower positions may optionally be controlled with the tractors
remote hydraulic connections or a combination of lift valve and remote hydraulics. If so,
determine which position of the side or rear mower is to be controlled be each remote
lever.

The side mower ON / OFF switch is located in a switch box mounted to the valve
stand or cable controls for non-cab and cab units respectively. If operating a rear mower,
the ON / OFF switch is located in the switch box with a side mower switch.

This machine may be equipped with an auxiliary oil temperature gauge, an amp gauge
or oil pressure gauge. If oil temperature reaches 200 degrees Fahrenheit, stop mowers
and see trouble shooting section for possible causes. Keep an eye on all gauges for
indication of problems.

MOWER OPERATION

When rotating parts are in motion, serious injury may occur if caution is
not used or danger is not recognized. Never allow bystanders within 300
feet of the machine when in operation. Extreme care should be taken
when operating near loose objects – such as gravel, rocks and debris.
These conditions should be avoided.

The rotating parts in 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,
concrete abutments, etc., causing them to be thrown at a very high velocity. Never allow
cutter head to contact such objects. Inspecting the cutting area for such objects prior to
mowing can help eliminate these potential hazards.

Once on location, lower the mower deck slightly above the material to be cut, so
the mower does not have to start under a load. Bring the R.P.M. of the tractor up to 1200
and engage the side mower. If a rear mower is being used, allow the R.P.M. to return to
1200 before engaging the rear mower.

The flail mower deck should be carried so that part of the weight is carried by the
ground roller. When the flail is carried this way, the roller also follows the contour of the
ground more easily during mowing operations.

When cutting small shrubs or brush, begin each pass at the top of the material and
work down with each consecutive pass. Use a low speed to allow the cutting blades time
to mulch as well as cut the foliage. When the initial pass has been made, disengage the
mower and return the mower to the travel position. Return to the starting point and make
next pass, etc. The flail head is not intended for cutting heavy brush, or for continually
cutting brush. Wear or damage of the blades will occur rapidly when the flail cutter is
used this way.

Side & Rear Flail Operation Section 3-4

OPERATION

To ensure a clean cut, engine speed should be maintained at approximately 1800
– 2200 R.P.M. If the tractor slows to less than 1800 R.P.M., shift to the next lower
gear. DO NOT ride the clutch, this will cause premature clutch failure. The engine

should not be operated at any time at more than 2400 R.P.M. on the tractor
tachometer.

The mower will operate more efficiently in tougher conditions and with less power
if the knives are kept sharp. If the mower begins to vibrate, stop the tractor, check for
wire wrapped in the spindle or damaged knives. When replacing knives, replace all
knives with new knives to ensure proper balance so the mower will not vibrate.
Severe vibration will result, if knives with unequal wear are used. Follow the
instructions in the maintenance section closely when replacing knife blades.

If bystanders approach within 300 feet while mower is in operation turn
mower switch “OFF” immediately! After shutdown, never leave the
tractor or allow bystanders to approach within 300 FEET of the unit until all
motion stops completely.

When encountering a very severe condition which causes the tractor to stall,
disengage mower, start tractor, raise the mower from the cut. Shut tractor off and
inspect the mower, blades and disk for damage before engaging mower again.

If the blades jam or stop, disengage the clutch and raise the head slightly or back
the tractor up. Normally, this will clear the cutter head. If not, shut off the mower(s),
raise the cutter heads, turn off the tractor and set the parking brake. After all motion
stops completely, leave the tractor and clear the cutting heads manually.

After the first day of operation, all bolts should be checked and tightened
securely.

This should be done periodically to ensure the bolts do not become loose and cause
damage to the tractor or mower, or injury to the operator.

Side & Rear Flail Operation Section 3-5

OPERATION

TRANSPORTING MOWER

Transporting under the units own power:

When transporting between job sites or between cutting passes, the following
procedure should be followed: Shut off the power to the cutting head(s) and allow all
motion to come to a complete stop. Raise the draft beam to it’s highest position.
Raise the side mower until the deck stops against the draft beam. Raise the rear
mower with the 3-point hitch control lever. The unit is now in position for self
transportation.

Transporting unit by flatbed trailer:

Most tractors with a side mounted mower head attached will be over legal
transporting width (102” wide). For this reason, one of the following procedures
must be followed.

1: Transporting with side mower att ached: Use a loading dock or ramp to load
tractor onto the trailer. Center the tractor with the mowers att ached between the
sides of the trailer. Make sure the draf t beam and head are fully raised and secured.
Lower the rear mower onto the trailer. Secure the tractor and rear mower to the
trailer with chains. Obtain proper over-width permits and mark the vehicle and
mower as over-width as required be law. Check the tractor operators manual for any
tractor requirements to transport by flatbed trailer .

2: Transporting with side mower removed: Park the tractor and turn the engine
off. Remove the key to avoid accidental starting. Close ball valves on the hydraulic
reservoir. To avoid contaminating the hydraulic system, make sure all fittings on the
side mower motor and solenoid control valve are clean. Disconnect the motor
pressure hose at the solenoid valve and the motor return hose at the motor. See
diagram below.

Side & Rear Flail Operation Section 3-6

OPERATION

Next, switch the hose ends and reconnect to form two separate closed loops, see
diagram below. Disconnect the lift cable from the head and secure the loose end back
onto the cable with the cable clevis. Remove the keeper bolt and draft beam outer pivot
pin. Separate the mower head from the tractor . Now reinstall the pivot pin and keeper
bolts into the draft beam to prevent loss. OPEN THE BALL VALVES ON THE
HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR BEFORE STARTING TRACTOR AGAIN! Serious damage
will be caused if tractor is started with the ball valves closed.

Use a loading dock or ramps to load the tractor onto the trailer , centering the
tractor between the sides of the trailer. Make sure the tractor (and rear mower) and
trailer are within legal transporting width. Lower the rear mower onto the trailer and
set the loose hide mower on the trailer. Secure the tractor and mowers to the trailer
with chains. Check the tractor operators manual for any requirements to transport
be flatbed trailer. Reverse this procedure to unload and remount the mowers after
transporting. Be sure all pins are secure, all connections are tight and any lost fluid
is replaced before using mowers. Use teflon tape when connecting all fittings.

MAINTENANCE

Tiger Mowers are designed for high performance and rugged durability, yet with
simplified maintenance. The purpose of this section of the manual is to help the
operator in the regular servicing of the mower. Regular maintenance at the
intervals mentioned will result in the maximum efficiency and long life of the T iger
Mower.

When you purchase a Tiger Mower you also acquire another valuable asset,
Tiger’s parts organization. Our rapid and efficient service has guaranteed the
customer satisfaction for many years. Tiger parts keep up with the demands for
efficiency , safety and endurance expected of the T iger Mower.

MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS

· Be sure end of grease gun and zerks are clean before using. Debris injected
intobearings, etc. with grease will cause immediate damage.

· DO NOT use a power grease gun to lubricate bearings. These require very
small and exact amounts of lubrication. Refer to the detailed maintenance section
for specificlubrication instructions. Do Not over-grease bearings.

· Lexan windows should be washed with mild soap or detergent and luke warm
water, using a soft clean sponge or soft cloth. DO NOT use abrasive or alkaline
cleaners or metal scrapers on lexan windows!

· Be alert to maintenance indicators such as the in-tank filter pressure gauge,
hydraulic reservoir sight gauge, etc. Take the required action to correct any
problems immediately.

·

Release of energy from pressurized systems may cause inadvertent actuation
of cylinders, or sudden release of compressed springs. Before disconnecting any
hoses relieve pressure by shutting tractor off, setting cutter on ground and actuating
lift valve handles.

DO NOT use hands to check for suspected leaks in hydraulic hoses!
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have sufficient force to
penetrate skin and cause serious injury . If fluid is injected into skin, it
must be surgically removed within a few hours or gangrene may result.
Use a small piece of wood or cardboard, not hands, to search for pin
hose leaks. Be sure all pressure is relieved whenever disconnecting
lines. Be sure all connections are tight and hoses and lines are not
damaged before applying pressure.

BREAK IN PERIOD

In addition to following the break in instructions for your particular tractor , the in-t ank
hydraulic fluid filter should be replaced after the first 50 hours of service. Thereafter
the filter should be replaced every 500 hours, or yearly, which ever comes first.

Re-torque wheel lugs after first five hours of operation and periodically
thereafter. See torque specifications listed in the tractor’s service manual for your
particular model. Wheel lugs must always be re-torqued whenever a wheel is

removed and reinstalled.

GRAFFITI REMOVAL

Butyl cellosolve (for removal of paints, marking pen inks, lipstick, etc.). The use of

masking tape, adhesive tape or lint removal tools works well for lifting off old weathered
paints.

To remove labels, stickers, etc., the use of kerosene or VM&P naphtha are generally

effective. When the solvent will not penetrate sticker material, apply heat (hair dryer) to
soften the adhesive and promote removal.

IMPORTANT: If a material is found to be incomp atible in a short-term test, it will usually be
found to be incompatible in the field. The converse, however, is not always true. Favorable
performance is no guarantee that actual end-use conditions have been duplicated.
Therefore, these results should be used as a guide only and it is recommended that the
user test the products under actual end-use conditions.

RECOMMENDED FILLING INSTRUCTIONS

FOR HYDRAULIC RESERVIORS

When filling or checking the oil level, the unit should be parked on a level

surface, shut “OFF”, and allowed sufficient time to cool to ambient temperature.
Use caution when removing the pressurized breather. Do not place face over opening
when removing the breather.

The reservior should be filled to the top of the lower sight glass on the side of the
tank. Do not over-fill. The reservior has been over-filled when oil is visible in the upper
sight glass. If tank has too much oil, the excess may be expelled through the pressurized
breather.

DETAILED MAINTENANCE

REPLACEING IN-T ANK HYDRAULIC FIL TER:

Side & Rear flail Maintenance Section 4-10

MAINTENANCE

DETAILED MAINTENANCE

REPLACEING HIGH PRESSURE HYDRAULIC FILTER ELEMENT:

Assure system has been shut down and de-pressurized. Locate High Pressure
Filter housing. Confirm that the element that is about to be installed matches the
element p/n on the filter model tag. Example: V3.0510-06 (world line 100, HD049
model) Locate the bottom of the High Pressure Bowl, and use the appropriate
spanner wrench –or- ratchet that matches the hex pattern. Using the spanner
wrench -or- ratchet and turning in a counterclockwise rotation, (looking at the bottom
of the bowl) remove the bowl from the head, The first couple rotations will seam
tight as the o-ring passes the sealing flats, once the o-ring has cleared the sealing
flats the bowl should spin freely. Taking care not to drop the bowl, finish removing
the bowl from the head. WARNING: bowl will be full of oil! Pour the oil from the
bowl into a container, this oil should be considered contaminated due to the flow
direction through the element is outside ~ in. Clean the inside of the bowl if “dirt” is
present. Remove the old element from the filter head by pulling with a rotation
motion. Dispose of the used element properly. Remove the new element from the
packaging. Using your finger , dab and lubricate the o-ring in the top of the new
element. Install the new element into and on the mounting boss with in the head;
assure that the element is fully seated on the boss. Clean and inspect the o-ring
that is affixed in the bowl, lubricate with oil. Using a clockwise rotation, screw the
bowl back into the head, assuring that the bowl has not been cross threaded into the
head. Continue “tighten” the bowl into the head, using the spanner wrench –or­ratchet, the rotation of the bowl will become tighter once the o-ring engages the
sealing flats. Once the bowl has been fully inserted into the head, and the o-ring has
reached the sealing flats, the bowl can no longer be “tightened” and bottoms out.
Once the bowl has bottomed out, “back-off” the bowl by 1/6 turn, this assures that
the o-ring is seated properly with in the sealing flats. Element change out and re­assembly is now complete. Start the machine and inspect the filter area checking
that there is no oil leaking from the filter assembly. This is first to be done at 50
hours of operation, then yearly(500 hours) or when indicated by restriction indicator.

TENSIONER MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE

1. Measure the Belt Sp an (SEE SKETCH).

2. Position the bottom of the Large “O” Ring on the Sp an Scale at the measured Belt
Sp an.

3. Set the Small “O” Ring on the Deflection Force Scale to zero.

4. Place the tension gauge squarely on the belt at the center of the belt span. Apply
a force on the plunger perpendicular to the belt span until the bottom of the
Large “O” Ring is even with the bottom of a straight edge laid across the sheaves.

5. Remove the tension gauge and read the force applied from the bottom of the
Small “O” Ring on the Deflection Force Scale.

6. Compare the force denoted by the Small “O” Ring with the values shown. The
force should be between the values given for either a New Belt or Used Belt.

7. Make sure to use the force values in pounds if the span is measured in inches.
Use kilograms of force if the span is measured in centimeters.

8. NOTE: The ratio of the deflection to belt span is 1/64 in either units of
measurements.

GREASING GROUND ROLLER SHAFT – FLAIL

Locate grease zerks on each end of roller tube at lower rear of head. Normal

conditions require one or two pump in each bearing, using Lithium-Complex
Extreme Pressure grease conforming to NLGI2-ISO 320 specifications. This is to
be done with a standard grease gun daily or at 8 hour intervals. CAUTION:

Over greasing may cause premature seal failure.

GREASING THE IDLER TENSION ARMS

Locate the access holes and grease zerks in the belt shields of the side and rear
flails. Normal conditions require one pump daily or every 8 hours of service with
multi purpose grease.

IDLER TENSIONING

Locate the idler tensioning rod for each flail. Loosen the locking nut. Turn the
adjusting nut until the washer in between the spring and nuts is flush with the spring
housing or guide. Tighten locking nut securely. For standard cut on side flail adjust
until the spring washer is flush with the top of the spring housing, as shown below.
Use this same method to adjust hydraulically driven rear flails.

Side & Rear flail Maintenance Section 4-20

MAINTENANCE

For standard cut on the mechanically driven rear flail mower, adjust so that the

spring washer is flush with the spring guide as shown below.

REVERSING MOWER ROTATION OF SIDE

AND REAR FLAIL MOWERS

To reverse the rotation of the side and hydraulically driven rear flail, a different idler
arm is needed only for side flail. Part No. TF4346 is used in standard rotation. Part
No. TF4345 is used in reverse rotation.

When before attempting this procedure be sure all dirt is cleaned away from the
motor and around all hose connections. This is to prevent the oil from becoming
contaminated. 1-S tart by removing the belt shield from the flail mower. 2-Remove the
locking and adjusting nut, spring washer and spring from the idler tensioning rod. 3­Disconnect the tensioning rod from the idler arm. 4-Remove the idler arm with the
idler pulley attached. 5-Remove the idler pulley from the idler arm and reinstall on the
short end of the new idler arm.

Side & Rear flail Maintenance Section 4-21

MAINTENANCE

Reinstall the idler arm and pivot pin. The pivot pin is installed into the hole in the
pivot bracket closest to the idler pulley. When assembling for standard cut
rotation, the idler arm is installed with the idler pulley toward the front of the mower
with the pivot pin in the front hole. When assembling for reverse rotation, with
smooth cut knives, the idler arm is installed with the idler pulley toward the rear of
the mower with the pivot pin in the rear hole.

Now disconnect the hoses and fittings from the motor and remove the taper-lock
hub and pulley from the motor by removing the three hub bolts from the existing
positions and inserting simultaneously into the threaded holes. Remove the four
bolts holding the motor . Rot ate the motor 180
position. Reinstall the motor bolts and torque to 75 ft. lbs. Reconnect the hoses
and fittings to the motor in the same configuration as before, i.e. the hose that was
connected to the front port on the motor should now be connected to the port that is
now facing the front.

Reinstall the taper-lock hub and pulley on the motor by installing the hub bolts in
the original holes and tightening until the hub just contacts the pulley. Then, position
the pulley on the motor shaft approximately 3/16” beyond the idler pulley and tighten
and torque the hub bolts to 18 ft. lbs. Be sure the pulleys are vertically aligned when
tight (see diagram on previous page) , loosen and readjust if needed.

° so the hump is opposite the prior

Side & Rear flail Maintenance Section 4-22

MAINTENANCE

Reinstall the belts and idler tensioning rod. Tighten and lock the tensioning rod as
shown previously in the maintenance section. Reinstall the belt shield.

With the motor rotation changed, now all of he knives on the cutter shaft must
be changed as required. The cutter shaft rotates in the same direction as the
tractor tires when going forward for standard cut knives. The shaft rotates
opposite to standard rotation for smooth cut knives. Smooth cut knives should be
installed so the cutting edge is forward.

When operating in standard rotation, the front shield must be removed and the
baffle installed. When operating in reverse rotation, remove the baffle and install
the front shield. Finally, reposition the wear pads on the hoses and replace the zip
ties as needed to prevent the hydraulic hoses from rubbing or chafing.

REVERSING MOWER ROTATION REAR

MECHANICAL DRIVEN FLAIL MOWERS

Remove the rear shaft guard and disconnect the chain coupling to the shaft.
Disconnect the P.T.O. drive shaft from the right angle gear box. Remove the gear box
from the flail frame and lay down flat so that gear oil does not leak out.

Switch the top breather vent plug with the drain plug on the bottom. Remove the
input shaft guard. The input shaft must be pressed through or turned around so the
rear extension is equal to what the original front dimension was. Turn the gear box

° and install on the flail frame so the chain coupling sprockets are side be side and

180
the breather vent plug is on the top of the case.

(continued on next page)

Side & Rear flail Maintenance Section 4-23

MAINTENANCE

The sprockets must be aligned and spaced approximately 3/8” apart. When
changing from standard cut to smooth cut rotation, a spacer plate may have to be
installed between the gear box and the frame. When changing from smooth cut to
standard cut rotation the spacer plate is to be omitted. Install the chain for the
chain coupling. If there is any binding, or no free movement in the chain, the
bearing next to the coupler may be shimmed as required to eliminate the chain
binding.

Change all the knives on the cutter shaft as required. The cutter shaft rotates
in the same direction as the tractor tires when going forward for standard knives.
The cutter shaft rotates opposite the tractor tires for smooth cut knives.

Remove the belt shield. Then remove the adjusting nuts, washer and spring

from the idler tensioning rod. Remove the clevis rod and small bushing from the idler
arm. Remove the idler arm with the pulley attached. Remove the idler pulley from
the idler arm and install the pulley on the other end of the idler arm. Reinstall the idler
arm in the pivot bracket. For standard cut rotation the pulley is toward the front, for
reverse rotation with smooth knives, the idler pulley is toward the rear . Inst all the
small bushing in the idler arm and connect the idler tensioning rod.

Tighten the adjusting nuts for the idler arm tensioner as shown previously in the

maintenance section. Install the belt shield, the shaft guard and P.T.O. shaf t guards.

When operating the mower in reverse rotation with smooth cut knives, remove
the baffle and install the front shield. When operating the mower in standard rotation
with standard cut knives, remove the front shield and install the baffle.
