CONNECTING THE EQUIPMENT

necessary. (See directions for shortening PTO shaft on page 34.)

•
Ready for use.
OPERATION
•
Lower the mower to the ground so that the support roller and skids touch the ground.
•
The machine is not intended for cultivating the ground. Ensure that the blades do not touch
the ground. The cutting head must only cut grass.
•
Allow the tractor's power take-off to reach the correct speed (540 rpm) before operation begins.
•
Adjust the tractor's speed to suit the material to be cut. Recommended speed is 3 km/h.
•
Raise the machine when operating on uneven ground.

Ensure that all parts have stopped rotating before carrying out any operation on the machine!
When the PTO is disconnected, the PTO drive shaft stops rotating.
However, this does not mean that all parts of the mower have stopped moving.
Be cautious, and wait a few minutes in order to be sure that all parts have stopped moving.
