2. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
2.1. MACHINE DESCRIPTION
Our verge mowers are machines equipped with a rotor that is driven by the tractor power takeoff by way of a cardan
joint, a gearbox and side belt transmission. The verge mowers are used for a good maintenance of green areas, or
to mulch directly on the ground by mincing organic cultivation residues (both grass and wood). The mulching quality
depends on the high rotational speed of the rotor, which turns opposite to the forward movement of the tractor.
Differently from other models, the TL31-33 X series mulchers all have a mechanical “NO STOP” safety system
against obstacles that may present themselves during normal mulching operations

2.4. IDENTIFYING THE CARDAN JOINT
The cardan shaft has to work at the smallest angle possible (do not exceed 25 degrees) in order to favour the
duration of both the shaft and the machine.
Replace worn or broken shafts with ones marked “CE”.
Do not modify or adapt the cardan shaft, otherwise, balancing carried out during the testing phase will be disturbed.
The machine comes with a cardan joint.
It is not possible to replace it with others that are different from the original.
Make sure you read the instructions in the manual supplied with the cardan joint.
