GENERAL INTRODUCTION - WARRANTY INTRODUCTION The user of the lawn mower (later referred to as the "machine") is responsible for his own safety as well as that of the people in proximity of it. It is therefore crucial that the user has detailed information on the use and maintenance of the machine and on how to connect it correctly to a tractor.

GENERAL SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND ACCIDENT - PREVENTION INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND ACCIDENT-PREVENTION INSTRUCTIONS Read all the directions carefully before using the machine. When in doubt, seek advice from the manufactur- ers. The manufacturing company declines all responsibility for non-compliance with the following safety and acci- dent-prevention instructions.
Page 13
GENERAL SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND ACCIDENT - PREVENTION INSTRUCTIONS Before leaving the tractor, lower the machine with the lifting unit, stop the engine, apply the parking brake and remove the ignition key from the instrument panel. Under no circumstances should anybody go between the tractor and the machine (Fig. 3.1) when the engine is running and the Cardan shaft is engaged, especially without first having applied the parking brake and placed chocks against the wheels.
Page 14
GENERAL SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND ACCIDENT - PREVENTION INSTRUCTIONS On disconnecting the Cardan shaft, replace the protective hood on the power takeoff shaft. Prolonged use of the machine can cause the drive boxes to become hot. To avoid any risk of getting burnt, avoid touching these areas both during use and some time afterwards.

ADJUSTMENT, PREPARATION AND USE INTRODUCTION 1) Connection to the tractor is highly dangerous. Take great care and carry out the entire operation in strict compliance with the following instructions. 2) Nobody should go near the area between the tractor and the machine. 3) Check that all warning and danger signs are in place and legible.
ADJUSTMENT, PREPARATION AND USE CONNECTING THE CARDAN SHAFT More detailed information may be found in the Cardan shaft manual which, together with this manual, is an essential part of the accident-prevention documentation. It is your responsibility to read and comply with this documentation. If information given in this manual should conflict with that given in the Cardan shaft manual, you should follow the instructions given by the Cardan shaft manufacturer.
ADJUSTMENT, PREPARATION AND USE TRANSPORT BY ROAD After the machine has been attached to the tractor as previously described and before transporting it to or from fields or any other workplace, the following instructions should be heeded: Before setting off with the machine attached to the tractor, check the local road transport regulations. During transport keep the machine fully raised with the power takeoff disengaged and the lifting unit immobilized.
ADJUSTMENT, PREPARATION AND USE GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE In addition to the instructions given above, each time you have to make adjustments before and during work, we recommend moving the tractor and machine to a firm, flat open area. Before getting off the tractor to make adjustments, follow this procedure exactly: 1) Lower the machine until its wheels touch the ground (this is recommended every time the tractor is stopped for any reason).
Page 37
ADJUSTMENT, PREPARATION AND USE 6.6.2 TINE POSITIONS The tines have two operating positions: A: Inner hole (nearer the wheel): for raking B: Outer hole: for spreading and turning To change tine position, you should lever against support (C) using a screwdriver or lever and move the tine backwards until the pin comes out of the hole.
Page 38
ADJUSTMENT, PREPARATION AND USE 6.6.4 For spreading, the ma- chine must be positioned as shown in fig. 6.9. The left side rake assembly 42 raised, right rake 29 placed on the outside right rotor by means of the spring 36 attached to support E, the front hay guard 64 down in work- ing position and locked...
Page 39
ADJUSTMENT, PREPARATION AND USE 6.6.5 For lateral swaths, the machine must be tilted as shown in fig. 6.11. To adjust the machine to this position, take strut 18 out of hole L and rotate frame 23 so that the strut can be inserted into hole M. Lower the left rake assembly 42 and move pin 46 so as to free arm 47, and adjust its width to obtain the desired swath size.
ADJUSTMENT, PREPARATION AND USE WORKING EXAMPLES 6.12 6.7.1 Figure on the left shows the machine tedding hay after cutting. Figure on the right shows the machine moves the forage when tedding, with the right rake containing the forage. 6.13 6.7.2 Figure on the left shows the forming of a simple lateral swath.
Page 41
ADJUSTMENT, PREPARATION AND USE 6.7.4 TEMPORARY PARKING If the machine has to be temporarily parked (for extended periods see page 43) proceed as follows, bearing in mind the instructions in CHAPTER 3. Before getting off the tractor, follow this procedure exactly: Choose a flat, hard open space, away from frequented areas if possible.
Page 42
ADJUSTMENT, PREPARATION AND USE 6.17 6.7.5 Disengage the Cardan shaft and place it on its rest. 6.18 6.7.6 Withdraw the split pin (2) from the pin (3) and re- move this pin. The tie rod (1) is now disconnected from the machine. 6.19 6.7.7 Withdraw the split pin (3) and remove the lateral...
MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE DIRECTIONS All cleaning, lubrication and maintenance operations must be carried out with the machine disconnected from the tractor. In an emergency with the machine still connected to the tractor, switch off the engine, apply the parking brake, disengage the power takeoff and remove the ignition key from the instrument panel. Regular, correct maintenance and proper operation are the basic prerequisites for the long-term efficiency and safe operation of the machine.
MAINTENANCE REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS Any repair work must be carried out with the machine at rest and disconnected from the tractor. Do not carry out welding without authorization and instructions from the manufacturers. Disconnect the machine from the tractor before any welding work in order not to damage the battery. Always use a protective mask, goggles and gloves when welding, sanding or grinding or when using a ham- mer or drill.
MAINTENANCE CARDAN SHAFT MAINTENANCE More detailed information may be found in the Cardan shaft manual, which, together with this manual, forms an essential part of the accident-prevention documentation. It is your responsibility to read and comply with this documentation. If information given in this manual conflicts with that given in the Cardan shaft manual, you should follow the instructions given by the Cardan shaft manufacturer.
MAINTENANCE NOISE AND VIBRATION Noise affecting the tractor driver (from the machine only) is less than 70 dB. Vibration from the machine affecting the upper body and limbs of the driver is insignificant and is lower than the values given in Point 3.6.3 of Enclosure 1 of the Machine Directives (89/392/EEC, 91/386/EEC). SCRAPPING THE MACHINE The machine consists mainly of ferrous material which must be disposed of according to the regulations in force in the country concerned.
