Operator's manual Flail head 5.5.2. Basic information on mowing Basing on long-term experience, in order to ensure the machine damage-free operation, it is recommended to engage a pilot in front of the mower to mark any obstacle. When traversing the road, pedestrian crossing or any other obstacle, the machine must be lifted with use of cylinder 4.
Operator's manual Flail head 6.2. Mounting flail heads Coupling Lama 121/ 141 mowing heads is significantly facilitated owing to application of mountings. Mountings such as: basic mounting (Fig. 20, item 1), rotary mounting (item 2), hydraulic turntable (item 3) are normally bolted to extension arm with 6 bolts. Hydraulic turntable can be attached to mowing heads.
Page 48
Operator's manual Flail head Hydraulic turntable is controlled with a special hydraulic motor (Fig. 52), which is powered directly from the tractor's hydraulics. For this purpose: connect two hydraulic push-in fittings to the tractor's hydraulics, moving an appropriate control lever for distributor in the tractor, rotate the mowing head and set it in the desired position, if the head rotation is performed too fast, throttle the oil flow with throttle valves (3) located just behind hydraulic push-in fittings.
Operator's manual Flail head 6.3. Adjusting flail head mowing height In order to set the desired mowing height, the following should be performed: preset mowing height is approx. 3 cm (Fig. 54). Mowing height modification for 5; 7.5 cm respectively can be obtained by loosening adapting shaft mounting bolts, what is shown on Fig.
PREMIUM 46 HV oil group oil with similar properties. The tank holds approx. 150 l of oil – Koliber 400/450, 220 l of oil – Camel 900 and KWT 550/650/651. Refilling oil should be performed through upper air vent filter (46). In order to perform this "can" should be dismounted from the tank, and only special sieve shall remain inside, which collects impurities contained in oil.
Operator's manual Flail head Fig. 59. Shut-off valve placed on tank 6.5.3. Multiplier with pump set Tightness of connections and oil level in multiplier (10) should be examined as well as tightness of connection of hoses to pumps (51). This activity should be performed at least once a week (Fig.
Operator's manual Flail head CAUTION: If filter indicator shows full contamination – the filter will be disabled – causing the system to work without a filter – what may lead to pumps and hydraulic drive failure. Fig. 61. Suction filter in hydraulics 6.5.5.
Operator's manual Flail head Fig. 63. Hydraulics control assembly Control assembly II (Fig. 62): Four-section (58) or five-section distributor is responsible for tilt of the machine's arms, extension rotation to proper mowing/transport position as well as settings of the cutterbar (control is specified in chapter 5.5.1.

(whether there is no run out). If necessary, replace bearings and gaskets (it is recommended that these activities are performed by the SaMASZ company specialized personnel). cooperating elements (pins, joints, cylinder rods, etc.) should be protected for corrosion by covering them with thin film of solid grease.
Operator's manual Flail head Fig. 69. WPT linkage after machine is detached from tractor 6.6.4. Storing Detached machine should be stored in standstill position, so it is supported onto supporting legs and the cutterbar (Fig. 70). It is recommended to store the set on paved ground, preferably in roofed places, inaccessible to unauthorized personnel or animals.
Operator's manual Flail head LUBRICATING For lubrication joints of the machine use greases STP. Lubricate bearings of gear operation with ŁT43. Do not use any plant or animal based grease. Prior to applying the grease clean out grease fittings as well as lubrication points prior to grease application. The following should be lubricated: rolling bearings of cutterbar rotor, joint pins.
Operator's manual Flail head DEFECTS AND THEIR REPAIRS In case of a malfunction, immediately stop the machine, turn off the motor and wait until the mowing head is fully stopped. Before disconnecting any of the hydraulic hoses, check whether there is no pressure in the hydraulics and remember to cut-off the oil feed from the tan to the machine's hydraulics.
Operator's manual Flail head REPAIR AND WITHDRAWAL FROM USE Prior to any repair works, potentially related to admitting it for use, the machine should be cleaned thoroughly and any grass, dirt or mud removed. Carefully check nuts and bolts for adequate torque and the pins for wear. If it is found, that after replacement of some worn parts the machine is able to operate, then damaged parts are to be replaced with new ones.
3. Faults or damages should be submitted personally, by letter or by telephone. Repairs shall be carried out within 14 days. Any repair which is subject to warranty should be carried out by an authorized SaMASZ dealer. 4. Warranty claims regarding replacement of the product or repayment are considered within 14 days by the manufacturer.
