basic project information and all the characteristics related to machine safety, was drafted in accordance
with the provisions of Annex VI-Part A, and can be made available by the individual indicated in the CE
Declaration of Conformity for any verification carried out by the supervisory authorities, following a justified
request, as provided for by the relevant laws in force. Once Braber has verified that the machine has been
designed and built-in accordance with the provisions of Directive 2006/42/EC and that it can be used safely
in the service conditions specified in this manual, it places the Mulcher on the market and accompanies the
machine with:

• Verify that the protection rotates freely and secure it with the appropriate chain. Remove the support from
the Cardan shaft.
• Connect the upper point (C), securing it with the appropriate pins and split pins, and use the tie-rod to
adjust correctly, making sure that the upper surface of the Mulcher is parallel to the ground. This is very
important in order to obtain parallelism between the cutter power take-o shaft axle and the tractor power
take-o. Operating in these conditions means limiting the stresses on the power take-o and prolonging the
duration of the Cardan shaft and the Mulcher itself.
• The correct position of the tractor / Mulcher unit is such when the mulcher is at a distance from the tractor
so that the cardan shaft does not extend beyond 5-10 cm from the maximum closing position.
• If the machine is provided with lateral hydraulic displacement (optional), connect the two hydraulic hoses
of the Muncher to the special connections on the tractor (Fig. 7).
• Engage the PTO and accelerate up to a minimum of 400 rpm. Then test lift the Mulcher to verify proper
operation.

Cardan shaft
Braber does not include the cardan shaft in supply. It is therefore necessary to purchase it paying careful
attention to its length and section. Work inclination of the cardan shaft must be as small as possible (max
10 from the horizontal line): this favors its durability and that of the Mulcher.
N.B.: When you are buying the cardan joint, if you want it to have the correct dimensions, please specify the
power of the tractor that will drive the Mulcher.
CAUTION
Before starting the power take-o, ensure that the rotation speed is the same as that required for the
Mulcher (540/1000 rpm).
WARNING
Braber declines any and all liability for damages caused by the Mulcher to persons, animals or property,
resulting from use other than that described in this manual, or due to damage caused by negligence or by
not observing the instructions contained in this manual.
CAUTION
Carefully read the Instruction Manual of the manufacturer of the cardan shaft. It is forbidden to operate with
the cardan shaft worn or damaged. Before starting to work, replace the cardan shaft.
CAUTION
The manufacturer of the cardan shaft recommends that no changes be made to it.
The cardan shaft rotates at a significant speed and is subjected to balancing before being placed
on the market. Therefore, any changes could cause imbalance, which aect the integrity of the cardan shaft.
When the cardan shaft is at its maximum length in any work conditions, the telescopic pipes should overlap
by at least 1/3 of their length, as illustrated in (figure 8).
When operating at full power, the minimum play should be 4 cm. Before start-up, check that the safety
chains are on the protection devices to prevent them from rotating together with the cardan shaft; also
check that the protection devices are in perfect condition.
Lastly, check that the cardan shaft is suitable for transmitting the power required for the Mulcher. When in
doubt, contact the Manufacturer.

After having familiarized yourself well with the controls, and having worn the PPE (personal protective
equipment) required, and having set the machine in the desired working position, and having connected the
multiplier and secured it properly to the tractor PTO by means of the cardan shaft, start the tractor engine,
disengage the parking brake, and engage the PTO while maintaining the engine at low rpm. Before starting
work, make sure that there are no exposed persons and/or animals near the machine.
Otherwise, have them move away. On start-up, move slowly with the tractor, gradually and slowly lower the
Mulcher until it reaches the ground. Then, the engine can be brought to the work speed. It is recommended
not to press the accelerator pedal rapidly when the tractor is stationary and the PTO is engaged and the
Mulcher is not running. This can cause damage to the machine and the tractor. The processed material is
shredded correctly by maintaining the tractor at a low forward speed and the rotor rotating at a regular
speed.
N.B: Braber recommends that you always use a tractor equipped with a closed booth.
DANGER
IT IS FORBIDDEN TO WORK WITH THE OPEN INSPECTION HOOD.
WARNING
The speed of the tractor with the Mulcher working must never exceed 5km/h in order to avoid breakage
or damage.
DANGER
During work, stones or other objects found in the terrain can be lifted and projected by the rotating
cutters. Constantly check that there are no persons or animals within the operating range of the Mulcher
(Fig. 12).
WARNING
Braber declines any and all liability for damages caused by the Mulcher to persons, animals or property,
resulting from use other than that described in this manual, or due to damage caused by negligence or
by not observing the instructions contained in this manual.
WARNING
Avoid letting the Mulcher rotate idly. During work, avoid making bends with the Mulcher lowered and do
not work in reverse. It is mandatory to always lift the Mulcher when changing direction or reversing the
drive.
