5. Verify tightness of screws and bolts before each use.
6. Verify that the DISC-O-MULCH is coupled correctly.
7. Ensure that the tractor has sufficient ballast at the front before all work, in order to avoid any risk of
tipping up; if necessary add ballast to the front of the tractor.
8. Distance all people from the manoeuvring area of the DISC-O-MULCH.
9. Never transport anybody on the DISC-O-MULCH or its complementary tools during work or
displacement.
10. Be aware of hidden obstacles (stones, roots, tubing, cable, etc) if an incident occurs, STOP

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
•Never let children climb on the tractor or play close to material, even when the machine is
stopped ;
•On delivery of a machine (new or second-hand) insist on the provision of the user’s manual and
the code of work certificate of conformity and thereon respect the constructor’s instructions ;
•Make sure that the DISC-O-MULCH and its complementary material does not hide the tractors rear
lights ;
•If necessary equip your material with reflective signalization panels or complementary luminous
indicators ;
•Clear the highway of any mud left by the tractor or tools ;

ploughshares, discs…) and can be fatal in an accident ;
•Wear safety shoes and gloves when manipulating sharp parts ;
•If the material is not already equipped, anticipate means of signalization: illumination ramps,
catadioptres, plates or bands of reflective stickers. Long or large material must imperatively

USING YOUR DISC-O-MULCH
1.1. DESCRIPTION
The DISC-O-MULCH framework can be equipped with a variety of main portions. Each portion is
supplied with replaceable wear and tear discs. The discs’ working depth is controlled by the depth-
control device and a roller.
1.2. PREPARATION FOR USE
When you receive your DISC-O-MULCH, verify that its characteristics are suitable. Then, carry out the
preliminary operations for starting up, as indicated in this manual.
1.3. COUPLING-UP TO THE TRACTOR
1. Reverse the tractor in order to couple-up with the DISC-O-MULCH which should be resting
on a stable surface.
2. Place the lower lifting arms in line with the coupling caps.
3. Couple-up the lower lifting arms by means of the appropriate device.
4. Adjust the length to the third hole then fix in place with the shaft and clip supplied.
5. To unfasten the DISC-O-MULCH, do the preceding operations in reverse order and ensure
that the apparatus is on a stable surface.
6. During coupling-up or unfastening, nobody should remain between the tractor wheels and
the DISC-O-MULCH.
1.4. ADJUSTMENTS
11.5 Working width of an element
-The DISC-O-MULCH is delivered with a pre-adjusted distance between each disc.
21.5 Depth adjustment
-Put the elements in their working position.
-Adjust the depth by manipulating the shafts of the multistop caps when your tool is equipped
with a roller.
1.5. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
Before beginning any maintenance operation or oiling, make sure that the safety instructions
have been followed. Before adjustments or verification, make sure the DISC-O-MULCH is
horizontal and stable. Block the machine if necessary.
Oiling
The roller cages are fixed by means of two self-aligning blocks which provide grease. For the
auto-alignment to function correctly the blocks should be greased at the start of each new
season and regularly throughout the season.
The grease used is lithium based grease reinforced with molybdenum bisulphide / NLGI2
grade. AGRISEM INTERNATIONAL can not be held responsible when any other type of grease
is used.

Disc
⇒The discs must be replaced as soon as their diameter reaches the following values.
AGRISEM INTERNATIONAL can not be held responsible if the DISC-O-MULCH is
used with discs that have a level of wear and tear superior to that specified.
⇒To replace the discs :
a. Lift the DISC-O-MULCH about 15 cm off the ground and block it in that
position with the tractor motor stopped and the parking brake on.
b. Take off the damaged disc.
c. Put on a new one.
Only use original AGRISEM INTERNATIONAL parts
Worn spare parts
All the parts are made from specially treated steel, thus it is not advisable to solder
them or else the thermal treatment loses its efficiency.

1.6. ADVICE FOR OPTIMAL USE
Before all usage, make sure that all safety instructions are followed and that the machine has been
greased and maintained correctly.
When the soil humidity is great, slipping could degrade the superficial soil structure. It is better to
use a tractor with four-wheel drive to reduce sliding.
For road transport remember to retract the lateral apron and dismantle the end disc
Before any folding or unfolding intervention on the machine, remember to remove the two
latching shaft from extensions.
Adapt your working speed to the type of soil and chosen working depth.
Work only in a straight line and never turn the machine when in the soil.
Respect the following working depths:
•Stubble-breaking from 3 to 4 cm.
The Disc-O-Mulch equipped with absorbing arms can only work in easy soil without any
form of obstacle
Before beginning work verify the following list:
•Are the working parts in good condition and fixed correctly?
•ls there enough ballast on the front of the tractor to lift the DISC-O-MULCH?
•During use verify that the DISC-O-MULCH is correctly coupled and perfectly horizontal
when working, in the longitudinal and transversal sense.
•If required, consult your tractor’s manual to study all safety aspects and adjustments for
raising the tractor in order to optimize the use of your material.
•The correct use of the DISC-O-MULCH optimizes and ensures a good establishment of
your crop. AGRISEM INTERNATIONAL can not be held responsible for soil degradation or
a result which is not up to your expectations. The user must make his own decisions and
assume the risks taken should his machine be used incorrectly or inappropriately.
All Disc-O-Mulch must, imperatively, only work arable land free of foreign bodies.
Ex.: (string, rope…)
