Slope Flail Mowers BCRL & BCRM
Carefully read this instruction manual and the manuals of the tractor to ensure all safety precautions are taken.
All mowers are built to be attached to any tractor equipped with a three-point lift of the correct category and
with suitable ball ends.
Before attaching the equipment to the tractor, make sure that the ground is smooth and flat and that no one is
standing between the tractor and the mower. Slowly move the tractor towards the mower by aligning the trac-
tor lift arms with the two mower coupling side pins. Turn the engine off and pull the brake.
Connect the tractor top link to the third upper point by removing the pin located between the two plates, insert-
ing the top link, and securing it by means of the pin.
Adjust the top link so that the upper part of the frame is parallel to the ground. Block all the linking parts by
means of the sway chains or arms.

Before installing the PTO shaft, make sure that the RPM rating and the direction of rotation match those of the
tractor. Carefully read the PTO shaft and tractor instructions.
Furthermore, accurately read the instructions of the manufacturer of the PTO shaft and the tractor. Before
starting any activity, make sure the guards are installed on the power take off of the tractor and PTO shaft.
Make sure that they cover the PTO shaft throughout its length.
1. With the implement attached to the tractor's 3-point hitch, and the PTO driveline not installed, separate the
PTO driveline. Attach the implement end to the implement
and the other end to the tractor PTO input shaft.
2. Raise the implement by using the tractor hydraulic 3-point
hitch to its maximum height.
3. Hold the half shafts next to each other and mark them so
each end is approximately 1/2" from hitting the end of the
telescopic profiles.
4. Shorten the inner and outer guard tubes equally.
5. Shorten the inner and outer profiles by the same length as
the guard tubes. Using a rattail file, round off all sharp edg-
es and burrs. Grease the telescopic profile generously be-
fore reassembling.
When fully extended, the pipes must overlap by at least 1/3 of the length of the pipes (LT).
When retracted, the min. acceptable clearance is 1-2 cm (3/8"-3/4").
