Clearing a Blocked Rotor

g034634
WARNING
Residual pressure in the hydraulic system
could cause injury through sudden movement
of the flail rotor(s) when the blockage is
released.
• Never attempt to rotate or clear blockage
from the flail rotors by hand.
• Always wear protective gloves and use a
wooden pole.
• Ensure that the wooden pole will fit in the
flail rotor and is long enough to provide
sufficient leverage to release the blockage.
