Power diagram, hydraulic Please use the diagram below to assess whether your vehicle has enough hydraulic power availa- ble. 1. Add the power specifications of all options present on your machine. 2. Be aware of the information concerning the hydraulics of your vehicle. As a rule, the hydraulic power of your vehicle that is available for additional implements, is considerably lower than the engine power.
General safety notices Guidelines and instructions that you must comply with when dealing with machines are presented in this section. Presentation of the general safety notices The safety notices used in the text employ pictograms and signal words, which in combination indi- cate the severity of the risk to be expected.

Operation of the mower Application area The mower is used for mowing green areas and agricultural areas. The area of application extends from manicured lawns, to matted grass to uncultivated land. Function The mower works with three rotating blades, these blades are powered by the tractor via the work- ing hydraulics.
Mowing irregular areas 6.3.2 Fig. 19: Irregular areas Divide irregular areas into smaller sections. Change the mowing pattern frequently; do not always work in the same pattern. 6.3.3 Mowing large areas Fig. 20: Mowing large areas Mow large free areas as shown on Fig. 20. 6.3.4 Mowing small areas Fig.
Installation Switch off the carrier vehicle and remove the ignition key before mounting or dismounting the mower Prior to mounting on the tractor, ensure that the PTO shaft rpm, and the PTO shaft direction of rotation agree with the information on the mower. Mounting the mower on the carrier vehicle Fastening screw on the coupling support...

If the manual has been lost or is no longer present for some other reason, contact matev GmbH. The mower must be matched to the speed of the carrier vehicle's PTO shaft.

Mounting the port with suction hose on the mower The suction port is only required, if for example, a grass collection device is used. Port plug Stop nuts Suction port Fig. 23: Suction port Hold the suction port with the hinge strip on the mower discharge.
Rock guard Fig. 24: Rock guard on side ejection Operation of the mower Before first use of the mower, comply with the instructions on safety and handling for operation of the entire implement and the connection to the car- rier vehicle. When mowing, always switch the carrier vehicle's front lift to float position.
Ensure for yourself that no one is in the work area. For road travel, the mower must be lifted out and the locking bolt must be se- cured against swinging. For the hydraulic maintenance position (optionally available) the mower can be secured via the shut-off valve and additionally secured with the locking bolt.
Secure the mower with hydraulic lift-out for maintenance position (optionally available) To do this proceed as follows: Fig. 26: Transport position Set the shut-off valves to "Transport", as shown in Fig. 26 Adjusting the mower incline The driving frame is inclined forward in the factory. The driving frame should also be left this way! Or after a change, it should be returned to this position.
7.7.1 Adjusting the inclination angle on the driving frame Fig. 28: Adjusting the inclination angle on the driving frame To align the mower, do not tighten the fastening screws, otherwise the mower cannot align itself The mower can be appropriately "lifted up" or "lowered" by means of the two adjusting screws 2 on each side.
Adjusting the cutting height for the rigid driving frame The four casters must be adjusted uniformly. Fig. 30: Caster on the mower Lift out the mower with the aid of the front power system, until there is an adequate distance between the casters and the ground.
Adjusting the cutting height on the hydraulic frame Caution – moving parts. Prior to changing the cutting height, ensure that no one is on the mower The mower is set to the desired cutting height by means of a hydraulic cylinder Fig.
7.10 Moving the mower into maintenance position The mower must not be switched on in maintenance position. Switch off the engine and remove the ignition key, after the mower has been brought into maintenance position. Caution – moving parts. Before moving the mower into maintenance position, or back into operating position, ensure that no one is on the mower.

Move the mower into maintenance position. Fig. 35: Mower in maintenance position Move the shut-off valves to the "Secure in maintenance position". Fig. 36: The shut-off valves "Secure in maintenance position" Attention, life-threatening danger The mower must not be switched on in maintenance position. Switch off the engine and remove the ignition key, after the mower has been brought into maintenance position.
7.11 Adjusting the air supply For a clean flow of grass it is important that sufficient air can flow into the mower. The intake air is accelerated through the mower discharge together with the cut grass. This is the only way to ex- clude the possibility of clogs in the mower or in the suction port.
7.12 Securing the lawn harrow for road travel to the work site For road travel to the work site, the lawn harrow must be prevented from un- folding To do this proceed as follows: Completely lift out the lawn harrow. Push the harrow back, counter to the direction of travel (beyond the dead point).

Fig. 39: Harrow position in operation Insert the lock bolt 1 underneath the rake and secure it axially with the linch pin. The lock bolt must be mounted in work position, as shown in Fig. 39. Without the lock bolt the rake can swing down due to bumps in the ground Page 39...
7.13.1 Adjusting the angle of inclination of the tines. The angle of inclination can be adjusted upward or downward by approx. 10 degrees. Unscrew screws 1. Adjust the angle of inclination. Tighten screws 1. Fig. 40: Adjusting the angle of inclination of the tines. Page 40...
7.13.2 Changing the plunge depth of the tines The harrow must be adapted to the respective cutting height for an optimal plunge depth of the tines. This is achieved with the aid of the stroke limitation when retracting the cylinder. Improper adjustment of the tine plunge depth into the ground can damage the sod.
Maintenance Safety when performing maintenance Personal injury or tractor and implement damage can occur. Before each use of the implements check all safety-relevant parts and the hydraulic connec- tions. The mower must not be switched on when maintenance tasks are performed. Switch off the carrier vehicle engine and remove the ignition key.
Weekly maintenance tasks or after 25 operating hours. 8.2.2 • Check all screw connections and bolt connections. Tighten any loose screws, and secure any loose bolt connections with spring cotter pins. Visually inspect the belt; worn or dam- aged belts must be replaced.
MOW-160 Fig. 43: V-belt run for the MOW 160 MOW-190 Fig. 44: V-belt run for the MOW 190 The springs of the tension pulleys are under tension. Ensure that both ends of the springs are hooked in correctly. After replacing the belt, it may be nec- essary to re-adjust (re-tension) the belt.
After cleaning the mower, check moving parts for ease of movement, regrease if necessary (see section 8.4). Lubricating schedule At regular intervals (every 30 operating hours) and always at the beginning and end of the season, the moving parts of the implement must be greased or oiled. Check the fill level of the gearbox every 30 operating hours;...
