‘Quality, Strength & Personal Service’

This manual is provided to assist you in getting the best results from your machine and

ensure that you do so safely. If you have any queries about the use of the machine

contact your dealer before use. Please keep this manual for future reference.

This topper has been designed to be easily and safely transported behind a tractor while

also giving an even and clean cut on uneven ground by being fully offset with bi-lateral

movement when in the topping position. The dual heavy-duty rotors with swinging blade

system allow the topper to withstand the excessive pressures of wet conditions and to

absorb small impacts without affecting performance.

A hydraulic breakaway system ensures that any damage to your machine following an

impact with a larger obstruction is dramatically reduced. The operating position is

quickly restored without hassle ensuring minimum operator inconvenience.

The cutting height is adjustable in convenient steps from the minimum depth of 30mm to

a maximum depth of 120mm. The depth is easily adjusted by altering the position of the

skids which are positioned at each side of the topper. These skids ensure that the

topper provides a uniform cut without grounding while on the most undulating pastures.

This topper will successfully operate in wet conditions and on heavy pasture such as

rushes, however it is unsuitable for topping set-aside. While this topper is primarily

designed for agricultural use it performs excellently when used for topping playing fields

or other local authority areas.

1.1 FUNDAMENTAL PRECAUTIONS

On delivery, your dealer gave you an explanation of the operation and maintenance of

this Fleming topper. Please read and understand these operating instructions before

operating the machine for the first time. It is essential that you observe all safety

instructions.

Incorrect use or mishandling of the machine can endanger:

•Life and Limb of the operator, other persons or animals standing within the vicinity of

the machine.

•The machine and other material assets of the owner or third persons.

•The performance of the machine.

Anyone who is involved in the commissioning, operation or maintenance of the topper

must read and understand the following instructions very carefully and observe them at

all times.

NEVER DISTRACT ANYONE WHO IS USING A MACHINE.

A SAFE DISTANCE OF AT LEAST 30M MUST BE OBSERVED BY ANYONE WITHIN

THE VICINITY OF THE TOPPER.

1.2 AUTHORISED OPERATORS

Youths under the age of 16 must not operate this implement. The owner of the machine

must provide the operator with the operating instructions and make sure they have read

and understood them. Only then may the topper be put into operation.

The owner must ensure that only authorised persons operate/work on this machine. He

is responsible for keeping any third persons or animals out of the working area of the

topper.

1.3 GENERAL SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION

REGULATIONS

•Ensure the implement is correctly and securely attached to the operating vehicle 3-

point linkage using the lift arm pins and locking lynch pins provided.

•NEVER attach to a tractor which would be rendered unstable when the implement is

operated at its full capacity. Take note of the maximum load permissible on the

linkage. The weight of the 7ft model is 616kg and the 8ft model is 650kg.

•Extra care must be taken as the implement can cause instability due to the projection

out the rear or the side of the tractor.

•Take extra care when operating machinery on sloping ground. NEVER operate on

ground on which there is a risk of the tractor becoming unstable.

•When detaching the implement from the tractor always ensure that it is stable and is

safely positioned on a level surface.

•WARNING: The attaching and detaching of the implement to a tractor must be carried

out by only one operator. There should not be any other people in the vicinity of the

implement or in the tractor.

•ALWAYS ensure that the rope attaching the locking mechanism to the tractor is

detached and safely stored before detaching the implement from the tractor.

•WARNING Extra care must be taken when operating or transporting the topper as it

extends significantly out the rear or side of the tractor.

•ENSURE that the topper is locked in the transport position when on a road and when

it is being attached and detached from the tractor.

•ONLY operate the locking mechanism from the cab and ensure that the area which

the topper will rotate into is clear before doing so.

•Before operation make yourself familiar with all elements and controls of the machine

as well as their functions.

•Under NO Circumstances should anyone attempt to use the topper or the three

point linkage as a means of personal transport. It is designed as a specialist purpose

farm implement and is unsuitable for the safe transportation of passengers. To avoid

personal injury do not allow hands or limbs to enter the area between the hitch and

main body.

•NEVER allow children to play on or around tractors and machinery.

•Operators should not wear loose fitting clothing when working close to PTO driven

equipment. Keep long hair tied back. NEVER be in the vicinity of a rotating PTO shaft.

•ALWAYS disengage the PTO before dismounting from the tractor.

•NEVER operate the topper unless all safety guards are fitted and are firmly in

position. ALWAYS ensure that all guards and covers are replaced after carrying out

maintenance or adjustments.

•ALWAYS disengage the PTO shaft, apply the hand brake, stop the tractor and

remove the key before carrying out any maintenance or adjustments to the topper.

The blades continue to rotate for some time after the tractor is stopped. ALWAYS

ensure that the blades have totally stopped moving before approaching the topper.

•NEVER attempt to adjust the skids without the topper being in a stable and safe

position.

•Take extra care when carrying out maintenance and adjustments, as this is when most

farm accidents occur.

•ENSURE the PTO shaft is the correct length to suit the tractor.

•ALWAYS ensure that the PTO tubes and universal joints have sufficient grease.

•Regularly check the PTO shaft and guard for damage and replace if any damage is

found.

•ALWAYS use 8mm shear bolts with a rating of 8.8 on the knuckle joint. Standard bolts

or shear bolts with a rating greater than 8.8 may cause undue stress to the topper and

risk life and limb.

•NEVER attempt to move this implement manually.

•NEVER change the release pressure on the Breakaway valve unless authorised to do

so by FLEMING AGRI-PRODUCTS.

1.4 GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

•This is a tractor-mounted implement. Attempts should not be made to attach the topper

to any other type of vehicle. If the topper is to be transported on a trailer then is should

be securely attached using suitable restraints.

•Never use incorrectly sized lift arm or top link pins when attaching the topper. Ensure

top link has sufficient adjustment to facilitate correct setting of the topper.

•Fit the topper to the three-point linkage in the normal way. Ensure that the PTO is

correctly connected before use.

•When the implement is attached to the tractor the stand should be raised to its highest

setting. When detaching from the tractor the stand should be set at a suitable height.

•Fit PTO shaft in the transport position to ensure the correct length.

•ENSURE the restraining chains on the PTO cover are attached to the holes provided

on the fixed guards and on the tractor PTO guard.

•Adjust the topping height by removing the 4 bolts on each skid and set to the required

height. Only adjust the height when the topper is in the topping position and is on

stable ground. ENSURE TRACTOR IS STOPPED, THE BLADES HAVE STOPPED

MOVING AND THE TOPPER IS SUITABLY SUPPORTED.

•DO NOT ENGAGE THE PTO WHEN IN THE TRANSPORT POSITION.

•Attach a suitable length of rope to the eye on the locking mechanism so that it can be

operated safely from the cab. Ensure that the length of the rope used allows the free

movement of the implement from the maximum to minimum heights and that there is no

possibility of the slack rope becoming entangled and risking life or limb.

•Ensure the working area is clear of stones or anything which may cause damage to the

topper or increase the danger to life and limb.

•With the PTO shaft, Hydraulic pipes and all safety guards in place and the topper in the

fully opened position it is safe to start topping.

•Begin to operate at a low RPM and gradually increase to 540 RPM before starting to

move forward.

1.5 HYDRAULIC SAFETY

•CAUTION The hydraulic system is under high pressure.

•Ensure that only high-pressure hoses are used to connect supply to the toppers

hydraulic cylinder. Check hoses regularly and renew any that are damaged or

worn. ALWAYS ensure that hydraulic hoses are long enough to facilitate rotation

of the topper body and are kept clear from the PTO shaft and 3 PL.

•Before working on the hydraulics lower the topper, ensure the locking mechanism

is securely closed, release the pressure from the system and stop the tractor

engine.

•When connecting hydraulic rams make sure that the hydraulic hoses are coupled

correctly. Pressure should be released from the system both on the tractor and on

the implement side prior to coupling the hoses to the tractor hydraulics.

•CAUTION Hydraulic oil forced out under pressure can break the skin and cause

severe injury. In the event of a hydraulic oil leak stop the tractor flow immediately.

DO NOT PUT HANDS NEAR A LEAKING PIPE.
