Cleaning the attachment
Clean the attachment regularly to prevent accumulation of dirt which is more difficult to remove. A pressure
washer and mild detergent can be used for cleaning. Do not use strong solvents, and do not spray directly at
the hydraulic components, or at the labels on the attachment.
7.3
Inspection of metal structures
Also the metal structures of the attachment must be inspected regularly. Check visually for damages and
inspect the quick attach brackets and their surrounding area carefully. The attachment must not be used if it is
deformed, cracked, or torn.
Welding repairs are only allowed to be carried out by professional welders. When welding, only methods and
additives suited for steel used in attachment must be used. For more information about repairs contact your
nearest service point.
7.4
Blade maintenance
The condition of the cutting blades should be checked at least after every few uses. The blades wear down in
normal use and can get damaged if hitting a rock or other obstacle.
If the cutting results have weakened from the original, the cutting blades have probably become blunt or some
of the blades have been damaged. Uneven cutting results, increased power requirement and increased
vibration level are signs of blunt or damaged blades.
To protect the blades and other components when hitting rocks or other obstacles, the blades are fitted to the
axle in a way that allows them to move. Check that all of the blades move freely and are not stuck. When
reinstalling the blades, make sure, that you fix them in the same manner as they were originally. Do not over
tighten the blade screws.
The fastening bolts and nuts must be replaced with new ones when replacing blades.
If the blades have large notches or cracks, or if they have worn down excessively, they
must be replaced or reversed. The blade edge can be turned the other way round once.
Always use good protective gloves when handling the blades.
WARNING
Risk of ejected parts - Make sure that all blades are connected securely.
Check that
all blades are connected securely and that none of the blades is missing. Loose,
damaged, or missing blades can cause ejection of parts from the cutter. Replace the
fastening bolts and nuts with new ones when removing blades. Only use locking nuts for
fastening the blades.
