FLAIL HEAD INSPECTION
¾ Inspect blades and blade bolts for looseness and
excessive wear. Rotate to 90° to make for checking
easier. Replace damaged, worn, and missing
blades as complete sets to maintain cuttershaft
balance.

damaged. Replace worn, broken, and missing
sections immediately.
¾ Ensure the rollers are in good condition and rotate
freely.

and are properly torqued.

the hydraulic motor. Check for hydraulic leaks along

check for oil leaks. Use a piece of heavy paper or
cardboard to check for hydraulic oil leaks.

¾ Ensure the drive belt shields are in place and in
good repair.
¾ Remove any grass or other debris which may be
wrapped around the cuttershafts ends.
