MOUNTING THE QUADSAW

The blades MUST be mounted in a downward cut rotation in relation to the tractors driving direction.

The blade carrier centre bolt (M10) should be tightened to 25Nm and the (M8) outer bolts tightened to 40Nm.

Mount the Quadsaw so the blades are running in the driving direction.

Install and connect the hydraulic hoses so the blades are running in the correct direction. The separate drainage hose must be led directly back to the oil reservoir.

Check all connections for any oil leaks.

The first time the machine is used the blade speed should be measured and adjusted to achieve the optimum working speeds of: LRS 2001 (3000 -3200 RPM) LRS 2401 (2700 -2800 RPM)

Holding this speed is important for the best optimum performance.


6

OPERATION & INTRODUCTION The Spearhead Quadsaw encompasses a range of hydraulic arm mounted 4 blade saw units used for cutting branches and small trees. The LRS 2001 is fitted with four 500mm saw blades with a cutting capacity of up to 120mm diameter. Branches thicker than 80mm should be cut one at a time. The LRS 2401 is fitted with four 600mm saw blades with a cutting capacity of up to 160mm. Branches thicker than 120mm should be cut one at a time. Best performance is achieved by cutting in an upright or vertical cutting position and angled at no more than 45 degrees from this position. Horizontal cutting is possible on hedges with a width up to 1.2m and a branch diameter up to 40mm, thicker branches might stall the blades and or cause the blades to get stuck.

DRIVING RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended to travel at a slow forward speed when starting work in order to retain the recommended rpm of the blades. The angle of the saw should be adjusted to approximately 90 degrees in relation to the branches. If a thick branch is approaching the branch reflectors, the working position must be adjusted for the branch to hit the saw blades straight on. If small branches or other unwanted material gets stuck in the blades, the machine and tractor must be stopped and the debris cleared. Always try to keep the blades running vertical in relation to the direction of travel, this will prevent the blades from flexing too much during operation. An optional skid can be mounted at the bottom of the Quadsaw to prevent the saw blades from hitting the ground.


7

MAINTENANCE

Initial Maintenance

After an initial 2 hours work all taper-locks must be retightened to 31Nm.

After 10 hours work all bolts, screws and taper-lock bushes must be retightened. If the bushes loosen at a later time they may be secured with ‘Loctite’ or equivalent.

Regular Maintenance

All bolts must be retightened on a regular basis.

The plastic strips are adjusted down to 1mm clearance from the blades. The plastic strips must be replaced if the clearance distance exceeds 5mm.

The branch deflectors must be adjusted as close as possible to the blades without touching.

Dismount the belt guard to clean the housing.

Inspect and if necessary adjust the belts (see belt diagram here or under belt guard).

After inspection or service ALL protection plates and guards must be replaced before using the machine.

BELTS

It is important that belts are kept in good condition and are correctly tensioned at all times. The correct tensions are as follows: LRS 2001: Short Belt 550 Nm and Long Belts 650 Nm LRS 2401: Short Belt 900 Nm and Long Belts 1100 Nm


8

Tensioning the Belts

CAUTION! Care must be adopted when servicing this part of the machine as there is risk of trapping hands or fingers in the belts, pulleys and blades.

WARNING: Ensure cover is replaced and all bolts are re-tightened before using the machine.

SAFETY

Never operate the machine with other people present as it is possible for debris to be thrown from the saw blades in all directions.

Always ensure all cab safety guards are in place and all tractor windows are closed.

Never allow an inexperienced person to operate the machine without supervision.

Never allow children to play near or around the machine at any time.

Never attempt any maintenance or adjustment without first disengaging the PTO/hydraulic pump, lowering the head to the ground, stopping the tractor engine and applying the tractor parking brake.

Before leaving the cab remove the ignition key. Never stop the engine with the PTO engaged.

Before leaving the tractor cab always ensure that the saw head is firmly on the ground, no weight is on the tractors hydraulics and blades have stopped spinning.

Never transport with the PTO engaged.

Always check that all guards are properly fitted, check there are no damaged or loose parts.

Always operate the blades at a speed between 2700-3200 RPM (depending on the model).

Maximum oil pressure of 250 bar in the hydraulic hoses.

Never transport without the blade protection guards mounted.

Always inspect work area for wire, steel posts, large stones and other dangerous materials. If such items are found remove them.

Never attempt to use the machine for any other purpose other than what it was designed for.

Ensure all warning labels are always visible and that they are not damaged, defaced or missing.

HXF3300 MAINTENANCE Lubrication Grease the lubrication points on machine on the following basis;

Daily prior to use.

Always prior to storage.

Always after it has been washed.

NOTE: Never use grease that contains Molybdenum Disulfide on nylon bushes. Hydraulic Hoses Inspect hydraulic hoses and fittings on a daily basis prior to using the machine; ensure they are free from damage or leaks and that the hoses are not rubbing on machine components. Any damaged hoses or fittings should be repaired or replaced immediately. Run new hoses alongside the old ones prior to removal to ensure the correct routing is retained. When replacing a hose avoid twisting it, use 2 spanners to tighten it. Ensure hoses bend with machine movements and that they do not twist or strain. All hose connections are of a ‘soft seal’ type and should only be turned a further 1/2 turn more than hand tight in order to be leak-proof (see table below).

Machine Oil Supply Check oil level in the tank each day prior to starting work - it is good practice to constantly keep an eye on the sight glass level as a ruptured pipeline can empty a system within minutes; a pump or motor that runs out of oil will be damaged beyond repair very quickly. The oil must be changed if there are signs that it is contaminated (discolored). Ensure cleanliness when replacing or topping up the oil by;

Carefully cleaning around the filler neck prior to opening.

Always using clean containers for refilling the system.

Regular inspection of the filtration system.

Never letting the oil level fall below the level in the sight glass.


17

Check daily that all hydraulic connections and fittings are in good condition. Any defect or leak must be immediately repaired, it is part of the daily maintenance that will reduce costs and prolong machine life. If fittings require retightening always use 2 spanners and avoid over tightening. If the fitting continues to leak, replace it. Regular Maintenance Tasks After every 4 hours of use the following maintenance task should be observed;

Check bolts for tightness and – retighten if required.

Check valve block, hoses and fittings for signs of leaks – retighten or replace seals if required.

Bolts and bushes should be greased and retightened.

Bolts and Bushes All major pivot points are equipped with replaceable bushings, if they show signs of wear, replace them. NOTE: Never use grease that contains Molybdenum Disulfide on nylon bushes. Machine Storage Before the machine is placed into storage, it should be thoroughly washed. Remove all traces of grass, leaves and dirt. Take care if using high pressure jet hoses or steam cleaners as these can quickly damage paintwork and decals. Remove all cleaning products thoroughly to avoid them from staining or damaging the paint. Grease lubrication points until fresh grease comes out. Where applicable, drive belts should be loosened to remove tension and ‘relax’ the belts. Ideally, the machine should be stored in a clean dry environment where it is protected from the elements; if the machine has to be stored outside it is advisable to keep it covered over to protect it from rain and sunlight. Control units should be stored clear of the ground and protected from the damp. It is recommended that canvas tarpaulin or similar coverings are used to cover the machine rather than plastic sheeting which would harbor condensation and promote rapid corrosion.
