140616 Introduction Thank you We appreciate having you as a customer and wish you many years of safe and satisfied use of your machine. Using Your Operator’s Manual This manual is an important part of your machine and should remain with the machine when you buy it. Reading your operator’s manual will help you and others avoid personal injury or damage to the machine.
Hazards associated with operating Grass Cutting Machinery Shear Hazard Shear hazards are created when the edges of two objects move toward or next to each other closely enough to cut relatively soft material. This can include the parts of the machine under hydraulic control when operating from transport to mowing position.
Noise Hazard Please note that the machine is normally used outdoors and that the position of the operator is seated in the driving seat of the tractor. It is advisable to consult the prescriptions listed in tractor operator and maintenance manuals. The acoustic pressure at a distance of 2.6m from the centre of the machine and at a height of 2.0m, with the implement operating in a no load condition can reach 90 dBA.
PTO Shaft Safety Maximum PTO input is specified in the Product Specifications section of this booklet. Contact your nearest dealer or a specialised retail outlet if the PTO must be replaced with a longer one, since this must belong to the same power category and possess the same characteristics.
Operating the Machine 270117 This machine is designed to be connected to a tractor by using a standard 3 point linkage connection. It can be installed either to the front or to the rear of the tractor, depending on the model of your machine. Key to Main Parts Rear mounted machine shown Body...
Inspections before Use Always disengage PTO, Switch off tractor engine and engage the parking brake before making adjustments to the machine. 1. With the whole machine as level as possible, check the oil level in the Primary and Rotor Gearboxes and top up as required with recommended gear oil through the oil filler plug indicated.
Starting Regulations Always check that any imminently dangerous conditions have been eliminated before using the machine. Ensure all guarding is present & the operator is fully aware of the operations of the machine. Always ensure the pins lock the PTO shaft yoke ends onto the spline shafts on both the tractor and the implement.
Transport Position (Winged models only) ALWAYS HAVE THE TRACTOR SWITCHED ON WHEN RAISING THE WINGS INTO TRANSPORT POSITION. IMPORTANT: The transport locking bars, transport pin and axle ram stopper should always be slotted into place while transporting the machine. Doing this removes pressure from the hydraulic system. Failure to use the safety equipment can cause mechanical as well as physical damage.
Roller and Castor wheels adjustment In order to achieve desired cutting height, castor wheels and roller should be adjusted. Castor wheels (optional) Roller To adjust the height of front wheels lift up the To adjust the height of the roller follow this procedure at machine and: both sides of the roller: 1.
Maintenance The machine must always be disconnected form the tractor before any cleaning, lubricating and servicing operations can be carried out. Maintenance must be carried out by qualified personnel. If emergency operations are required whilst the machine is connected to the tractor, switch off the engine, engage the parking brake and disengage the PTO.
