GENERAL INFORMATION NTRODUCTION The AG Flails are primarily designed to mow grass, weeds and light brush. The mowers are assembled for operation with 1000 RPM tractor input only (rated PTO up to 45 HP), and supplied standard with Cat. I lift pins for tractor attachment. The mowers can fit Cat.
SAFETY LABELS AFETY ABELS The safety labels and the information on the machine, listed in the following table, must be necessarily read and respected; failure to follow these warnings can cause death or severe injuries. Make sure that the labels are always present and legible, should this not be the case, contact your nearest Gear more dealer to replace the missing or illegible ones.
SAFETY LLOWED AG flail mowers, as described in this instruction and maintenance booklet, have been specifically designed to mow grass, weeds, and light brush up to 1" diameter. Any other use jeopardizes the operator's safety and the machine integrity. MPROTER The mower was designed to mow grass, weeds, and light brush only.
SAFETY Mental: Capability of understanding and applying the established rules and safety precautions. Users must pay attention and be sensible for their own and other people's safety. Training: users must have read and studied this manual, its eventual enclosed graphs and schemes and its identification and danger plates.
REPARE THE Before and when working, do not drink alcohol, take drugs, or any other substances which may alter your capability of working with machine tools. Be sure to have sufficient fuel, to prevent a forced stopping of the machine, maybe during a critical movement. Do not use the equipment under unsafe conditions.

rather than monkey spanners, etc. When maintenance or repairs are completed check out that no tools, wiping rags, or other materials are left inside spaces or guides with moving parts. While using the equipment, it is forbidden to make more than one person give directions and make signals.
SET UP ATTACHMENT TO THE TRACTOR Before operating the mower, carefully read this Operator's Manual, completely understand the safety instructions, and know how to operate correctly both the tractor and the PTO shaft, reading carefully the instruction manuals of the tractor and PTO shaft manufacturers.

SET UP Adjust the third point so that the upper part of the frame is parallel to the ground. Lock all connection parts with the special sway chains or tie rods. It is always good to make sure that the central gearbox axis is parallel to the ground thus reducing the stresses on the power takeoff and extending the working life of the equipment.
SET UP DRIVELINE ATTACHMENT Before assembling the PTO shaft, check out that its RPM and direction of rotation match those of the tractor. Moreover, read carefully the instruction manuals of the PTO shaft and the tractor manufacturers. Before starting work, make sure all safety shields are in place.
SET UP WORKING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT The machine's working height is determined by the position of the rear roller. Lifting the roller the cutters get close to the soil, whereas lowering it the cutters get far from it. After a modification of the working height be sure that the cutters skim the ground; a direct contact with it would cause their wear and this could affect the cutting rotor balance and may cause objects to be thrown out from under the mower deck.
SET UP DRIVE BELT ADJUSTMENT Loosen the Screw A and B that locks the support shaft and loosen the counter nut C. Loosen the screws that lock the gear box on the mounting plate D. Adjust the drive belt tension. The correct belt tension is achieved when the belt can be deflected by the belt thickness about 10mm at the center point between the pulleys.
TRANSPORT & STORAGE WORKING SPEED The working speed depends on quality, diameter and height of the material to be cut; anyway, for efficient mower performance it must be between 2 and 5 MPH. The power takeoff speed must be 1000 RPM maximum. Operate the mower at its full rated PTO speed to maintain blade speed for a clean cut.

3. Loosen the set nut and spindle jack to relieve drive belt tension (NOTE: Before next season's use, be sure to adjust the drive belt tension.) 4. Coat all exposed surfaces inside the mower with oil or grease to prevent rusting and pitting during storage. 5.
MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE Maintenance is a fundamental operation to extend life and performances of any agricultural vehicle; taking care of the machine grants you not only a good work execution, but also a longer life of the whole equipment and a greater safety on the workplace.
MAINTENANCE FIRST CHECK Check the correct tension of the driving belt Check that all bolts and nuts are tightened After the first 50 hours of work, change oil in the gearbox EVERY 8 HOURS OF WORK Rotate teardrop shaped plate B and grease the shaft support (driveline side) through the lubricating nipple A (picture 1) Grease the shaft support (external side) through the lubricating zerk A (picture 2)
MAINTENANCE 8hrs/ Daily 50hrs/Weekly Annually Lubricate PTO Shaft Lubricate Caster Wheels Lubricate Blade Spindle Check Gear Box Oil Level Clean Machine Lubricate and Clean PTO Shaft Cover PTO SHAFT MAINTENANCE The PTO shaft is designed to telescope to allow for dimensional changes as the machine goes through its operating range.
