The mowers are driven by Weasler PTO shafts (Tab. 3 page 5). When connecting PTO shaft
between tractor and mower make sure, that external guard tube of the shaft is on the tracor's
side. The PTO shaft plastic guards have to be secured by fastening their small chains to
immovable parts of tractor and mower.

Mower's drive should be turned on when the cutterbar is on the ground to oil all gears.
When the mower is in its working position, please do the following:
lower the mower until cutterbar comes into contact with the ground,
connect PTO shaft between tractor and mower,
slowly engage PTO clutch and wait until the cutting unit reaches its rated speed. DO NOT
exceed 3250 rpm.
engage tractor gear and drive slowly into the grass-field.

5.1. Mounting and timing of the knives
