OPERATION
8.4 Engaging Drive
Fully Independent Model
1. Ensure that the rotor control lever is moved to the “STOP” position before engaging the PTO shaft.
2. Allow the oil to circulate for a minute or so before operating the armhead levers.
3. Position the flail head in a safe position, increase the engine speed to a high idle and move rotor control
lever to “ON”.
4. After initial surging the rotor will run at an even speed. Starting the rotor this way reduces the starting
loads imposed on the hydraulic motor and the drive splines.
Tractor Supply Model
Place the flail head at a safe attitude and bring the tractor engine revolutions to 1000 RPM to avoid stalling
when the starting load is placed on the motor. Engage the PTO and slowly increase revs until operating speeds
are attained.
