Removal of Blade for Service or Cleaning
From time to time, depending on the conditions of use, the blade set will need to be removed
from the cutter head for cleaning. Any build up of dirt or grime around the outer cutter, will
affect the machine's performance.
1. Remove the gear set cover (part 4).
2. Remove the conrod pin split pin (see photo 1) and then lift out the conrod pin (see
photo 2).
3. Swing back the conrod (part 16). The cutter set drive pin can then be unscrewed (see
photo 3) and removed.
4. Remove the cutter head backing plate (4 screws), but only after first backing-off
slightly the two cutter tension adjusting screws (part 19).
5. The cutter blades can then both be removed (photo 4). Wash blades and cutter head
housing thoroughly with kerosene or similar. Check for any dirt build up inside the
cutter head.
6. Apply a liberal coating of oil or grease to the cutter blades and replace into the head.
Take care to align the thead hole on the outer cutter with the slot in the cutter head.
Re-insert the cutter drive pin, leaving the head aligned to fit the conrod. Re-attach the
conrod and re-insert conrod pin and split pin.
7. The cutter tension adjusting screws (part 19) will now need resetting, using fingers
only, to give the correct and evenly-balanced pressure on the cutters (photo 5). The
tension screws lock nuts should then be gently tightened with a spanner (see photo 6).
Your Tailwell™ should then be ready for lubrication and use.
