Operating The Mower - Tar River BDR-135 Operator's Manual

Operating the Mower

The fields and meadows to be mowed should be free from any foreign and/or hard object or stones, which may dam-
age the mower.
The shields of the mower must be positioned downwards during operating of the machine. The mower's drive should
be turned on slowly and after reaching 540 RPM of the power take-off, the operation may be started. The speed
should be adjusted to the terrain conditions and the type of grass to be mowed. For the time of idle drive, the drive of
the mower should be turned off and then the mower should be lifted upwards.
The mower shouldn't be used on uneven and full of stones fields because of the risk of damaging the
blades, holders, and other mower's elements, as well as because of the risk of the hard objects thrown
out (stones, broken blades, etc.).
WARNING The operating drums and the blades still rotate for a certain amount of time even after the
power take-off drive is turned off. Prior to making any adjustments on the mower, turn off the drive
and the engine of the tractor, pull out the key from the ignition, and allow for the operating drums and
the blades to come to a complete stop.
WARNING: It is prohibited to:
Operate the mower in the presence of bystanders within a less than 165 ft. perimeter.
In case the mower hits an obstacle, the fuse allows for the cutting system to tilt. The tractor then should be stopped
and the drive should be turned off. The fuse gets back in when the tractor is moved back a bit. The length of the A
fuse's tighten spring should be 65mm. If it is too tight, it may block the fuse and damage the mower when it hits an
obstacle.
Securing the mower after driving into an obstacle.
ATTENTION: because of the possibility to damage the mower , never :

exceed the tractor's PTO 600 RPM

lift the mower while the drive is engaged and the drums are rotating

mow while backing up (this will cause machine failure!)
