DRIVELINE ATTACHMENT
Before assembling the PTO shaft, check that its RPM and direction of rotation match those of the tractor.
Moreover, carefully read the instruction manuals of the PTO shaft and the tractor manufacturers. Before
starting work, make sure all safety shields are in place. Check in particular that the safety guards cover
the PTO shaft throughout its extension. When attaching the mower input driveline to the tractor PTO, be
sure that the connecting yoke spring activated locking collar slides freely and the locking balls are seated
securely in the groove on the tractor PTO shaft. A driveline not attached correctly to the tractor PTO shaft
could come loose and result in personal injury and damage to the implement.
CAUTION
Make sure the driveline will not bottom out (at its most compressed position there must be at least a 3/4"
clearance between each profile end and opposite profile universal joint) or become disengaged (at its
farthest extended position a minimum profile engagement of 1/3 of the length must be maintained).
Check that the cardan shaft minimum and maximum length are the ones required by the machine-tractor
coupling. Should problems arise, contact a skilled repair shop or the driveshaft retailer. After installation,
secure safety guards to the tractor and the machine using the special chains and make sure that they pivot
freely. If the PTO shaft is equipped with other safety devices, such as a pair limiter or freewheels, be sure to
install them on the machine side. For PTO use and maintenance, refer to the relevant booklet.
WORKING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The machine's working height is determined by the position of the rear roller. Lifting the roller moves the
cutters closer to the soil, whereas lowering it moves the cutters farther from the soil. After a modification
of the working height, be sure that the cutters skim the ground; direct contact would cause wear and could
affect the cutting rotor balance and may cause objects to be thrown out from under the mower deck.
FLAIL MOWER ADJUSTMENT
1. On a flat piece of ground, attach the flail mower to the tractor using the three point linkage.
2. Use a solid adjustable top link.
3. Lower the three point linkage to its lowest position.
4. With the roller at the rear in contact with the ground, adjust the length of the top link so that the lower
edge at the side of the flail mower is parallel with the ground.
5. Rotate the blade drum by hand so that a row of blades hang vertically towards the ground.
