ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS : warning ! the present note should be supplemented by the reading and by the observance of safety standards
which are described into the machine instructions and service booklet . the rotary scythe is designed for professional use and use in private
areas/properties. The rotary scythe is used for cutting bushes and shrubs. Any other use is prohibited. The danger area extends for 50 meters
around the machine and must be closed with suitable warning signs. It is user's responsibility to do that while during working operations a
fenced area must be created and cleared of people and animals.
ASSEMBLY :
FOR THE ASSEMBLY PLEASE DO ANY SERVICE AND/OR REGULATION ONLY wHEN THE ENGINE IS SwITCHED OFF , AND
wITH THE SPARkLE PLUG CAP OFF.
wEAR PROTECTION /TECHNICAL GLOVES DURING ALL ASSEMBLY-DISASSEMBLY OPERATIONS.
Remove the equipment from the packaging with the separate upper protection, belt and the loose parts bag including n. 3 screws and 1 nut.
- Fig. 1) pre-assemble the belt "1" connecting it into the pulley "2" throat positioned inside the machine.
- Fig. 2) before assembly the equipment please consider to unthread the brake transversal pin "3" after you have disassembled the 2 safety pins "4".
Please be careful to the spring "5" that should remain on its own position. Disassemble the pin "3" (Fig. 2) in order to facilitate the belt assembly (Fig. 4).
Then you have to assemble the pin "3" again as per Fig. 5-6-7.
- Fig. 3) insert the pin "6" all its way into the hole of the hexagonal bushing "7" which is present under the machine frame. The belt should pass under
the protections support and over the brake. In order to facilitate the insertion operations the operator should try to keep the pin aligned with the hole.
- Fig. 4) complete the assembly of the belt "1" inserting it into the pulley throat "8" of the rotary scythe. During the operation , please slowly rotate the pulley
in order to match the belt into the throat.
- Fig. 5) move the equipment away to facilitate the repositioning of the transversal pin of the brake "3".
- Fig. 6) press the spring "5" in order to allow the passage of the transverse pin "3" in the hole of the brake hose "9".
- Fig. 7) re-assemble the two safety pins "4" into the suitable holes of the pin "3" which have to be positioned on the sides of the spring "5".
- Fig. 8) bring the equipment close to the machine. Insert the spring "10" into the rotary scythe connection "11".
- Fig. 9) Push the quick release mechanism rotating the lever "12" until it snaps closed. Be careful not to keep your fingers between the lever and the
machine frame. Repeat the same described operation on the opposite side of the units as well. N.B. = if you need to assemble the equipment on motor
cultivator model P55 which is not equipped with the coupling represented in the picture you need to purchase n. 2 special springs (code 907280100).
- Fig. 10) position the upper protection "13" in order to make the holes to match and facilitate the screwing up. Screw up using 2 screws M8x20 "14" and
washers "17": insert the screws and the washers into the threaded inserts you can find on the frame. Complete the assembly with the third screw M8x20
"15" , washers "17 and 18" and the self-locking nut M8 "16".
- Fig.11) which are positioned in the front part of the protection.
In order to disassemble the rotary scythe from the machine, repeat the operation in the reverse order MAkING SURE THE ENGINE TO BE
SwITCHED OFF !
After a few hours of use it is normal if the belt becomes slightly longer. In this case it may not be necessary to perform the operations shown in the fig.
2,6 and 7, making the equipment assembly easier. The cut height is fixed at 36 mm so it does not need to be adjusted.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE :
Before putting the equipment in rotation, please carefully check you have read all the instruction/warnings and make sure there are no persons
in the cutting area.
Fig. 12a-12b) Keeping the engine on and the throttle on the maximum turns level, unfasten the safety lever "B" turning it to the upper side then with caution
lower the insertion lever " A". So that the blades are brought to slide at their full speed without making the pulley belt to slide. This way you avoid also the
engine to choke. The "A" lever should be kept pressed (as per Fig. 12b) in order to maintain the blades rotation. If you are leaving the hand from the lever,
such lever is going up and automatically disconnect the blades rotation.
Press the forward lever in order to proceed with the grass cut. Make attention to quickly release the forward lever in case of impact against unforeseen
obstacles and immediately switch the engine off using the throttle. Remove the obstacles and verify there are no damages or dangerous deformations in
the cutting device. In case of severe impact in case you find deformations or obvious damages , please go on changing all the knives and the corresponding
pins with screws and tightening nuts. Ask to an authorized service centre. USE ORIGINAL SPARE PARTS ONLY !
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS :
- During operations you need to use ear protectors, sturdy footwear and long trousers should be worn.
- During the engine start, the operator must not lift the machine, it must be brought in an inclined position only when the cutting blade is directed from the
side opposite to the operator's.
- Before starting the machine transport , you have to stop the engine and wait for the complete stop of the cutting blade.
- During the machine moving out from the working area, the cutting blade should be disengaged. The operator should be very careful while operating/
cutting on banks and slopes : you have to work in the slope never across it.
SERVICE (Fig. 13) :
four floating knives "C" are reversible with cutting part from both sides.
In order to guarantee the best grass cutting level it is necessary to sharp the "active" knife in case it is rounded or wasted. It is recommended to sharpen
the prominent part to "D" disk. For safety reasons after a 5-6 mm knife waste/sharpening, it is recommended to "turn" the knives in order to use the non-
wasted side.
To turn the knives it is necessary to unscrew the nut M10 "E", unthread the pin, take the knife away, carefully check the status of the pin and the knife which
should be integral. If any issue is found, re-assemble the "turned" knife on the pin and match it, being careful to the operation, to the disk blade support,
to thread the washer and screw a new self-blocking nut M10. If you are not sure to perform such operation in a workmanlike/ perfectly, please ask to an
authorized service center.
Change all the knives and corresponding pins with screws and tightening nuts if they are wasted even for the second knife for 5-6 mm and/or the thickness
is less than 3 mm. Please perform a control on the status of such components before every use. USE ORIGINAL SPARE PARTS ONLY !
Carefully wash the equipment after every use. Do not use water in the engine area.
The rotary scythe is equipped with an automatic brake device which is blocking the blades rotation to the equipment disengagement in a few seconds.
After many hours of use if it happens the lining to be wasted for 3-4 mm it can show a reduction of the efficiency of the braking system : if the blades are
not turning in a few seconds it is necessary to change the lining at a authorized service center.
