Do not use the machine in the event of contaminated grounds and/or in
the presence of inorganic material both on the surface and deep under
the surface.
Stability and Use only self-propelled units with a lifting power and hauling
performance capacity suitable to the dimension and mass of the FAE machine as
indicated in the table "Technical Data". Use exclusively self-
propelled units which supply the FAE machine wit a capacity
between the minimum and maximum values as indicated in the
table "Technical Data" and on the type plate. In the case of
machines with hydraulic drive, refer to the oil flow rate and oil
pressure.
Bumps
When using the FAE machine, always take care not to run the rotor
into objects such as cables, boundary walls, fences, cement blocks,
gully holes or any other type of obstacles which could damage the rotor
or could be damaged by it.
Permissible
usage The permissible usages of the FAE machine are exclusively those
listed in this manual and in the described modes and forms. Any
use differing from the permissible usage is expressly prohibited.
Any use differing from the permissible usages will be deemed as not
agreed to and off the limits provided by the manufacturer. The latter
is not liable for possible damages caused by improper use of the
machine. (The improper use leads furthermore to termination of the
warranty).
Prohibited use
We also emphasise that lifting and transport of objects, persons or
animals in whatever form and way is strictly forbidden.
Ensure that under no circumstances unauthorized persons approach

the machine during the work process! Nobody is allowed to approach
the running machine within a distance of less than 300 ft!

Tampering of the which is not explicitly authorized in writing by FAE
torque limiter and which is not carried out by qualified personnel
invalidates the warranty rights automatically.
Modifications We recommend not carrying out any modifications

and other adaptations at the PTO drive shaft which
could endanger the work safety.
As the PTO drive shaft is an element rotating at

high speed, possible interventions could cause
unbalances which could affect the function of the
machine as well as the integrity of the PTO drive
shaft.
Mandatory Before standing between the machine and the

verification tractor it is imperative to check that the FAE
machine rests on the ground that the tractor is
switched off, the brakes are applied and the

Assembly of the Loosen the fastening screw, pull the pin out, fit the ball for the
ball for quick quick coupler which is part of your tractor's equipment and tighten
coupler the fastening screw. If your quick coupler is not equipped with
balls, you can purchase them from your specialist dealer ensuring
that they are compatible with the pin sizes of the FAE machine
and with the characteristics of the tractor's elevator.
First and second Lower both arms of the tractor's elevator until the hooks are at a
point hitch height slightly lower than the pins.
Drive backwards with the tractor until both hooks are exactly

mechanical top link arm.
a) The machine and the tractor are parallel and work at the
same level. This operating condition produces the
minimum effort on the universal joint of the PTO drive
shaft and therefore guarantees a maximum working life.
47
In order to be able to execute the required work and to obtain the best
results, it is often necessary to adjust the inclination of the machine
during the various operation phases. For this purpose FAE
recommends the use of the hydraulic top link arm with which some
models are equipped as standard. For other models it can be
supplied optionally. Some important recommendations when using
such a device may be of assistance:
a) Figure (a) shows the optimum operating condition for a
PTO drive shaft. The power take off shafts of a):
Angular b) Figure (b) shows a working condition at which the two power
difference take off shafts are not aligned and the angles of the
universal joints are different (angular difference). The
angular difference causes an irregular motion of the PTO
drive shaft with consequent abnormal demands to the entire
kinematic chain. When working in this condition supervise
permanently the PTO drive shaft by correcting the height
and the inclination of the machine and by taking into
consideration that the larger the angle of inclination to the
universal joints, the smaller the angular difference.
c) Figure (c) shows a PTO drive shaft with angles to the

universal joints equal to zero and an angular difference of 10°.
These conditions enable to work without damaging the drive.
48
d) Figure (d) shows a PTO drive shaft with angles of 25° to the
universal joints and an angular difference of 10°. It is not
possible to work in these conditions.

Connecting Connect all hydraulic

hydraulic tubes tubes equipped with
quick couplers to the
distributor of your
tractor. Use reducers
or adapters if the
connectors of the
tractor are different
compared to those of
the machine. We
recommend that you
consult your specialist
dealer for oil dynamic
products.
49
Depressurized In order to carry out the connection with quick
hydraulic couplers, the hydraulic system of the tractor must be
system depressurized. Refer to the operation instructions of
your tractor.

IMPORTANT
10.2. Adjustable three-point hitches

Adjustable In some machine models the first, second and third point hitches
hitches are adjustable for an optimum coupling with different types of
tractors.
Length of the The adjustment enables coupling the machine to the tractor at three
PTO drive shaft different positions which must be defined depending on the length
of the PTO drive shaft. The further away the machine from the
tractor, the longer the PTO drive shaft and at equal conditions, all
the smaller are the angles to the universal joints.
Higher lifting It is important to take into account, that the further away the
power machine, the higher the necessary lifting power.
Machine resting In order to change the position of the connecting

firmly on the plates, the machine must imperatively be
ground uncoupled from the tractor and rest firmly on the
CAUTION ground.

10.3. Assembly of self-aligning systems of the power take-off
Self-aligning For some machine models on which the PTO drive shaft
systems of the transmission is particularly subject to stress, FAE has developed
power take-off two systems for the self-alignment of the power take-off. These
systems ensure a longer life time of the PTO drive shaft and base
on two different kinematics principles of the PTO drive shafts.
"Z" -shaped The "Z" –shaped adjusting system (see figure below) consists in
adjusting system obtaining the exact parallelism of the power take offs of the
tractor and the machine independently of the inclination and
ground height of the FAE machine.
Coupling of the

a motion irregularity of the PTO drive shaft with
subsequent micro vibrations and rapid wear and
IMPORTANT tear of all moving components of the FAE
machine.
"W" -shaped The "W" –shaped adjusting system (see figure below) consists in
adjusting system maintaining the power take off of the machine at an inclination in
which the angles of inclination of the universal joints of the PTO
drive shaft are equal but opposed.
Connecting the For the connection of the "W" –shaped adjusting system follow the
device steps shown below:
Preliminary - Each kit supplied with the machine is completely assembled and
operation mounted with a security screw (11). Before carrying out the
following steps remove the security screw (10), the two protection
covers (8), one of the two guiding washers (9) and the pinion (7) so
that the two bars (1) and (2) are separated.
54
Phase A - 1) Connect stirrup (1) to the clutch bell housing of the tractor
ensuring that the middle of the slotted hole is aligned with the
power take-off axle.
- 2) (Operation to be carried out only for kits supplied as spare
parts). Connect stirrup (2) to the gearbox of the FAE machine.
The stirrup must always be on the left when looking at the
power take-off of the gearbox.
Phase B - 3) Connect the machine to the tractor.

- 4) Connect the PTO drive shaft. The torque limiter must be
mounted on the side of the machine.
- 5) Lift the machine until the power take-offs of the machine

and the tractor are on the same level and are perfectly
aligned.
55
Phase C - 6) Measure distance "L" between the centres of the universal
joints of the PTO drive shaft.
-

between the two universal joints) (L/2).
- Assemble the guiding washers (9) and lock the corresponding
screws (10) by means of thread adhesive.
- Grease the rack steering.
- Mount the protection covers (8) as shown in the exploded
view.
56
- Before starting the machine check that the assembly was
Phase E - carried out as instructed and that the kinematics work as
Check shown in figure 1 and 2.
- Lift the machine completely and shorten the hydraulic top link
as far as possible. In this position the pinion must be in the
middle of the distance between the two universal joints and
the angles of inclination of the universal joints must be equal
and opposed.
- Carry out the same check with the machine in the same
position and the hydraulic top link completely open.
- Carry out the same checks with the machine completely
lowered and with the hydraulic top links completely closed
and completely open respectively.
A wrong assembly of the "W" -shaped adjusting

system of the power take off can cause a motion
irregularity of the PTO drive shaft with
IMPORTANT subsequent micro vibrations and a fast wear and
tear of all moving components of the FAE

13. USE OF THE MACHINE
13.1. Adjustments of the machine and work parameters
Operating speed
Start of work When reaching the place of work, lower the machine and actuate the
rotor before the equipment touches the ground. Thereupon, run up the
machine and start to work. Take care that the FAE machine is let down
gradually.
Quality control Work for a short distance and check whether the quality of the work and
of the work the dimensions of the ejected material meet your requirement.
Applicable For all operating conditions of your FAE machine the working speed
parameters for must be adapted to the following parameters:
the speed a) The working width (the larger the working width of the
machine, the higher the required performance and the lower
the working speed);
b) The conditions of the ground and the quality of the material to
be treated;
c) The working depth (the deeper the working depth, the higher
the required performance and the lower the working speed);
d) The kind of result to be obtained (the lower the speed of
progressive motion, the better the result obtained);
e) The capacity of the self-propelled unit (under the same
conditions the following applies: the higher the capacity of the
self-propelled unit, the higher the permitted speed. The
capacity of the self-propelled unit may under no circumstances
exceed the permitted maximum capacity of the machine
indicated in the chapter "Technical Data".

General regulations
Slope of the The inclination of the ground to be driven and worked
ground on may never exceed the inclination authorized for the
self-propelled unit. Always be very careful when
changing the direction under slope conditions and/or
on slippery grounds.
Hilly grounds On hilly grounds it is imperative to use a self-propelled

unit which guarantees the required wheel grip in every
case.
Avoiding stones
and holes Check the route carefully and avoid big stones or
holes which could endanger the stability of the self-
propelled unit and cause it to tip over.
Driving speed
The forward speed must always be adapted to the
ground so that neither persons nor the FAE machine
are endangered. In particular, observe the ground
conditions and reduce the speed of the self-propelled
unit if the ground seems to be unstable.
Damaged The use of the FAE machine is prohibited on unstable

grounds grounds, protruding rocks and at places which are
incompatible with the regular usage of the FAE
machine.
62
Control of the Before starting the work check the integrity of the tools,
good condition of their wear and tear level and their fastening. This control
tools must be executed with the utmost care and regularity as
soon as the machine is used.

13.2. Specific settings
Caution! In order to carry out settings during the operations,

the operator is the only person authorized to carry
out these operations.
Ensure that the tractor is shut off, the brakes are
CAUTION applied and the ignition keys are removed from the
instrument panel.
Ensure that the FAE machine rests firmly on the
ground and that there are no moving machine
elements due to inertia.
If the machine must be lifted from the ground, to carry out special
adjustments, provide suitable supporting devices to be placed
under the rotor or under the skids to guarantee perfect stability
Basic setting of For the basic setting of the working depth the position of the skids
the working must be changed in relation to the frame. Proceed as follows (see
depth Fig. 1):
• Lift the machine with the tractor and place suitable and stable
supporting devices under the rotor.
• Partially loosen all fastening screws (Pict. 1).
• Loosen the first external screw completely to change the position of
the skid (insert the screws into the hole corresponding to the
required position) and retighten the screw slightly.
• Completely loosen the screw at the external opposite end, change the
position of the skid (insert the screws into the hole corresponding to
the required position) and retighten the screw slightly.
• Complete the procedure with all screws.
• Secure all screws.
Pict.1
Particularly A solution for particularly heavy skids was developed to avoid

heavy skids excessive efforts to the operator.
The solution consists of making slotted holes which correspond with
two of the four fastening screws. (see Pict. 2).
The procedure for adjusting the position of the skid is the same as
described above except that the screws in the centre must not be
completely removed but only loosened.
64
Pict.2
Adjustment of For machine models with a mechanical adjustment of the guard

the guard frame frame it is important to adjust the position of the guard frame.
This adjustment is necessary and depends both on the type of
plants to be crushed and on the inclination of the machine to the
ground.
The position of the crossbar for wood cutting (crossbar of the guard
frame) must be in such a way that the plant or the bush can be bent
easily backwards to make the wood cutting easier and to avoid the
possibility that the latter falls towards the machine and the tractor.
To carry out the adjustment, proceed as follows:
• Put the machine on the ground and ensure that it rests firmly.
• Anchor the guard frame by using a lifting block or a crane
coupled to the appropriate marked hook.
• Loosen slightly the two fastening screws “V3” (Pict. 3).
• Pull out the two screws completely and ensure that the position
of the guard frame is stable.
• Bring the guard frame in the required position by fixing one of
the adjusting holes.
• Reassemble and retighten all screws

DT drive Double drive (DT):
The adjustment is carried out by changing the distance between the
pulleys, that is by moving the driving unit, consisting of a lateral
prolongation, belt tensioning plate and upper pulley.
• Loosen the screws 1, 2, 3, 4. (screws 1 and 2 have hexagon

head on some machine models and the quantity 2+2)
• Loosen the screw nuts 5 and 6.
Tension • Tension with the two threaded adjusters 7 and 8
Check • Check the belt tension again. If it is correct, tighten all screws
loosened previously after ensuring with the utmost care that
the unit "prolongation – belt tensioning plate" is perpendicular
to the side.
Opposite side • Proceed in the same way for the opposite drive.
• It can occur that, after a while, one belt unit loosens more than
The same the other one. Therefore, it is not sufficient to proceed with
tension on both both driving units in the same way. Instead, it is imperative to
sides. check separately that both belt units are tensioned uniformly.
If the drive-belts must be replaced, proceed as follows:

Replacement of • Loosen all screws as described above.
the drive-belts • Move the driving unit so that the distance between the pulleys
is the lowest.
• Remove the worn out drive-belts.
• Carefully clean the inside of the housing
• Clean the necks of the pulleys and be particularly careful to
remove possible traces of grease or oil.
• Fit the new belts and tension them.
• Tighten all screws.
• Check the tension of the drive-belts after the first 10-20
working hours.

16.5. Maintenance of the tools and their replacement
Tools of the rotor
Tools of the The machines are supplied with tools (called hammer for the series “F”)
rotor made of steel (with optional inserts of hard metal).
The rotor tools must be replaced as soon as they lose their service life.
Usually this will be evident by the fact that the wear and tear has
blunted these tools completely and therefore they have lost both their
characteristic form and their cutting force.
In any case, the tools with hard metal inserts must be replaced as soon
as the cutting-alloy tips loosen or if they break off or chip off.
The tools mode of operation guarantees that they always remain sharp
until the maximum wearing limit is reached.
Prohibition of It is strictly prohibited to carry out any kind of coating on

surfacing the tools by welding or similar processes. Potential
tools by unbalance on the rotor arises from surfacing the tools
welding by welding and you risk impairing the hold of the cutting-
alloy tips (if provided), causing them to detach with
CAUTION consequent danger to your safety.
Original spare Only use FAE original spare parts. The use of non
parts original spare parts can impair the faultless operation of
the machine and leads to the voiding of the warranty
CAUTION rights.
86
Replacement of the tools
Maintenance Before carrying out any maintenance work, shut off
work the power supply, ensure that the machine rests firmly
on the ground, the tractor is shut off and the ignition
keys are removed from the instrument panel.

place of the next bar. In this way you will avoid a localized
wear and tear on fixed places of the bars and extend their
working life time.
