FD2200 stage 5/ Translation of the original instructions
IMPLEMENTS
160 cm ALL PURPOSE FLAIL
This grass shredder (fig. 41) is very useful for cleaning countryside with tall, wild grass. It allows a fine
shredding making collection unnecessary. It comes equipped with "Y" shaped tines as a standard feature,
also suitable for shredding small pruned branches. It can be fitted with grass blades to have a cutting quality
equal to that of a lawnmower, or converted into scarifier by changing the tines with scarifier blades. To make
the finish in small spaces, if the front wheels and their supports are too bulky, they can be removed: you will
work then with the grass shredder resting on the rear roller. It is applied in the same way as the lawnmower.
Be careful to fit the universal joint into the grooved shaft. Frequently check the belt tension; the spring must
be adjusted at a length of 70 mm (fig. 459. Should the all purpose flail vibrate, check the blades. If the grass
is too high and the all purpose flail requires too much power, it is recommended to remove the counter-roller
located inside the housing of the all purpose flail.
ADJUSTMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION BELT TENSION
Follow the instructions below:
This operation must be carried out with the engine switched off and the PTO disengaged.
1. Remove the belt cover by unscrewing the screws A (fig. 45).
2. Loosen the nut B and use the screw C to tension the belt. Once the adjustment is completed,
firmly tighten the nut B.
Once put into tension, the belt must bend of about 6 mm applying a 2kg force.
3. Use a straight bar to check that the pulleys are aligned to prevent the belts from overheating or
deteriorating prematurely.
4. Take care when remounting the belt cover.
ATTENTION! During work, please keep people away; do not work with the implement on gravel or foreign
bodies, which could be thrown away, becoming very dangerous.
160 cm LPM CUTTING DECK
The 160 cm LPM cutting deck (fig. 42) is a 3-blade deck, width 1600 mm, the total width with side discharge
baffle is 1920 mm, without baffle is 1700 mm. It has got 3 different functions:
1) Side discharge;
2) Rear discharge;
3) Mulching.
To get from one function to another, it is not necessary to change the blades but only the augers, which are
located in the inner part of the cutting deck (fig. 43).
Choose the most suitable function, considering the places where you have to work and the grass height.
We kindly advise you to use the mulching configuration if you have to cut grass which is 10/12 cm high; the
rear configuration if you do not want that the cutting grass is thrown on streets or paths and the lateral
configuration if the grass is not very high and you have to use it in wide spaces, so that during work you
throw the cut grass upon the grass which has still to be cut. This way the cutting deck cuts the grass several
times, grinding it finely (pay attention not to work when the engine is stressed).
Periodically check the belt tension and eventually adjust the spring register (fig. 44, ref. B).
Lubricate the blade shafts (fig. 44, ref. A) with grease every 40 hours.
Change the oil in the angle gearbox every 300 hours, using synthetic oil LSX 75W90 (international brand API
GLA+GL5; API MT1 and PG2; MIL-L-2150 D).
CABIN
The machine can be equipped with a cabin fitted with a heater as a standard feature (fig. 50). The cabin
doors can be held open thanks to its door stops made on purpose.
FRONT BLADE
The 175 cm front blade (fig. 52) has been especially designed for this machine. This front blade is operated
hydraulically and can be oriented to one side or the other. It is equipped with a rubber end, anti-shock
springs and hydraulic lift. In order to use the front blade it is necessary to apply the hydraulic kit for
attachments.
PNEUMATIC DAMPENED SEAT KIT
This kit can be applied on the seat to improve the user's comfort. It is provided with an electric air
compressor.
