CONDITIONS AND LIMITS OF USE
The destination of use of the flail mowers is finalized to cultivating the ground through a series of
mechanical parts (tines) rotating on a horizontal axis parallel with the ground.
The machine is designed to be connected exclusively with the three-point hitch of a tractor and driven by
the PTO mounted on the tractor.
Choose the tractor based on the power, loads, and overhang given in the table by using the data declared by
the tractor manufacturer.
Any use apart from the specified one shall be considered improper, very dangerous and therefore prohibited.
In particular we wish to highlight the fact that it is forbidden to use the machine to carry people, animals or
loads.
For all the operations of use, adjustment and maintenance a single operator will be enough.
The presence of other people during the operations for linking the piece of equipment to the tractor is
allowed only when the PTO is detached, the tractor engine is o and the brake is pulled. In fact, in such a
situation do not displace the tractor but the mower, by using a suitable piece of equipment.

CAR-TMXXXX USER MANUAL 5
Should it be impossible to find the data useful to choose the right tractor, the user shall make sure of having
someone check that suitable safety margins are applied at work, the max. load limit of the axles is not
exceeded and the breaking ability is adequate.

USE IN SAFETY CONDITIONS
Most accidents that take place at work, maintenance operations and machine displacement are due to lack
of compliance with the most elementary norms of accident prevention.
Therefore, it is essential for those who are authorized to use the machines to read and thoroughly follow
both the instructions below and the stickers applied to the machine.
1. Read this manual carefully before carrying out any operations of use, adjustment and maintenance.
2. Always stop the tractor engine, wait until all moving parts have stopped and detach the PTO shaft, before
carrying out any operations for adjustment, maintenance or cleaning. Always rest the machine on the
ground or on strong stands. Never lay down under the machine without these stands or without checking
the stability of the machine.
3. Before use always make sure the screws or the nuts are tight, specially for blades or tines.
4. Always work with guards mounted, both on machine and PTO shaft. Should the guards be damaged, they
should be replaced at once.
5. Keep anyone and all animals away before starting your machine. The dangerous area extends 15 meters
around the machine.
6. Be particularly careful when working along roads or paths because of the possible projection of stones.
Never exceed the prescribed slopes when using your tractor and always avoid particularly steep working
areas.
7. Operate with suitable lighting only
8. A tractor with a cabin to protect the operator should be preferred.
9. Do not let the machine run unattended.
10.During checks and repairs make sure no one can start the machine accidentally.
11. Wear tight clothes without any loose parts which could be caught in moving parts or in the machine
rotating parts. Wear accident prevention shoes and wear gloves if you have to handle blades or parts with
sharp edges. In case of extended use and on tractor with no cabin use suitable sound deadening devices
(ear plugs or head sets).
12. Do not carry people or property on the machine or tractor at work during a road transfer
13. The PTO shaft guards shall always be in good operating conditions at work and fixed with the safety
chains preventing them from turning. Should the guards be damaged or worn, replace them immediately
with other original guards
14. Or circulating on public roads, the operator shall make sure his/her machine complies with the
current highway code and shall personally comply with the current standards in force in their country
scrupulously.
15. For your safety and that of any third parties and not to make the guarantee null and void, use original
spare parts only. Use the required personal protection means at all times.
16. Mind the dangers any rotating tools may cause.
17. Always use the machine on a grassy ground. Stop the gearbox to stop the tines for transportation or
when crossing areas with no grass.
18. CARONY SPA shall not be liable for lack of compliance with these standards
START-UP
Carry out all the operations for start-up when the tractor engine is stopped, the PTO shaft is disconnected
and all the transmission parts to the tools are stopped.
Before start working fill the gearbox with oil HD 80 W 90. When closing the cap, do not tighten it too tight
in order to prevent the gasket deformation which could generate oil leaks.
Check the direction of rotation and the rpm of the tractor and of the machine PTO, which shall necessarily
be the same as the ones signaled on the machine next to the PTO with two yellow stickers.
DANGER
It is forbidden to use the machine at a speed either than the one specified in the label.
USE ONLY
CE marked PTO shaft with guards. Once the machine has been hitched to the tractor, check the exact
length of the PTO shaft.

CAR-TMXXXX USER MANUAL 7
IN THE VARIOUS WORKING POSITIONS
the PTO shaft transmission hoses shall telescopically insert of at least 150mm as shown in the figure
below. Repeat the check when the tool is hitched to a dierent tractor.
ANY MODIFICATIONS
to the PTO shaft are strictly prohibited. It is strictly prohibited to cut the PTO shaft in order to adapt its
lenght.
i
THE PTO SHAFT GUARDS
Shall be still and in good conditions while the PTO shaft rotates, therefore, only the pre-stablished chains
shall be used. For your safety, when the PTO shaft guards are worn, they shall promptly be replaced.
When the machine is not in service, to prevent the PTO shaft from resting on the ground, use the extra
chain supplied in our kit rather than the two small rotation-proofing chains supplied with the PTO shaft.
Never leave the PTO shaft on the ground. When the PTO shaft is being clutched in, make sure it is
correctly locked in position.
COMMISSIONING.
See picture nr. 1
1. Position U-Bolt “6” and tighten screws “7”, washers “8” and nuts “9”. For models with displaceable hitch,
choose the position most suitable for your work.
2. Place guards “2” (Which shall never be removed for safety reasons) and for packaging cannot be
mounted before shipment. Tighten them with screws “3” and washers “4”. Place the plastic PTO guard “5”
by interposing the preset reinforcement disc under the screws (Guards “2” are necessary and demanded
for the CE European market only).
3. Fill the gearbox with oil as shown in the table on page 8 of the manual. Then grease points 1 with EP2
grease every 8 to 10 hours’ work.
Adjustment of belt tension and cutting height
See picture nr. 2
1. A correct stretch of the belts will let your machines run smoothly for their best performance. Every 10
hours’ operation check the belt stretch carefully. Proceed as follows after the tractor engine o and
waiting until all moving parts have stopped:
• Remove the guard
• Tighten nut “10” to stretch the belts, loosen the belts
• Mount the guard back in place
2. Proceed as follows after switching the tractor engine o and waiting until all moving parts have stopped:
• Lift and rest the machine on solid stands
• Loosen and remove screws “11” and adjust the height by lowering shoe “12” and roller “13” to the same
height.
• Repeat the operation on the opposite shoe. Remember that to be able to use the machine correctly, shoe
“12” and roller “13” shall work at the same height. For packaging reasons, the roller can be positioned
higher
