Attaching the machine to the Tractor
Concept Perugini Flail toppers can be linked up to any tractor with a category 1
or 2 three point linkage.
Read the tractor’s instruction manual before attaching attempting to attach the
machine to the tractor.
• Adjust the width of the tractor arms to match the lower brackets on the
machine
• On a at surface reverse the tractor up to the machine
• Firstly attach the lower links and do the necessary adjustments to limit
sideways movement
• Lengthen and attach the top link in order to have the machine parallel to the
ground once attached
• Remember to t all the locking pins and that the machine is safely secured
to the tractor
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE TRACTOR IS TURNED OFF, P.T.O
IS DISENGAGED AND MACHINE IS MADE SAFE
On the XS ES there is a hitch pin Aon the
headstock that must be removed once attatched
to the tractor. This pin keeps the headstock
locked in a vertical position when the machine is
parked and not linked to a tractor.

9
PTO Shaft
If necessary, cut the PTO shaft to the right length following the shaft
manufacturer instructions.
When attaching the PTO shaft to the machine and tractor make certain that if the
PTO shaft is tted with an overrun clutch this must be installed on the implement.
When connecting to the tractor verify that the locking pin is correctly located and
secure in place. Before use make sure all the chains and guards are correctly
tted.
The height of the machine from the ground is controlled by the rear roller, skids
and top link. Before using the ail mower make sure that the ails do not hit the
ground, this will result in extreme wear and will damage the rotor.
CS have the supports pictured in g.1 to alter the height of the roller simply
slacken bolt A, remove Cand reposition the support in B. Tighten all bolts.
XS model has the supports pictured in g.2. Slacken A remove C, reposition the
support in the desired height (B or C).
ES has the roller brackets shown in g.3. Undo bolts A move the plate to the
desired height and tighten bolts A. Depending on the width of the machine the
plates may be either on the inside of the chassis or the outside.

To use your verge mower rstly connect the hydraulic hoses to the tractors
double acting spool valve.
Ram Adjustment
When the machine is connected
for the rst time to the tractor
the oil ow must be regulated
to get the desired movement
speed. The machine should
not move to quickly but must
move steadily to avoid hitting
obstacles and damages.
To adjust the oil ow undo the counter nut with a 13mm spanner and adjust the
centre screw with an allen key, tightening the centre screw will reduce oil ow
and loosening it will increase oil ow.
The tap on the machine ram must be opened during use and closed during
transport. This acts as a safety block, restricting oil ow and therefor locking the
implement in its position. During transportation the mower should never be in the
upright position.
N.B The ow restrictors should never be adjusted with the oil under pressure.
This wil lead to personal injury and damage the machinery. Always lift the
machine o󰀨 the ground before using the hydraulic movements.

13
In the Field
Once the machine has been attached to the tractor, adjusted and inspected then
it can be operated in the eld.
• Lower the machine to approximately 10 cm from the ground.
• Engage the tractor PTO and slowly increase the speed to 540 rpm.
• Lower the machine to the ground, engage a forward moving gear and
commence forward motion.
Alwaysdriveinastraightline,whenturningliftthemachineo󰀨theground
to avoid straining the parts in contact with the ground.
Road Transport
When transporting the implement attached to a tractor on public roads ensure
that you comply with the relevant regulations.
• Class of roads permitted for travel may be restricted.
• Transport may be restricted to daylight or o󰀨 peak tra󰀩c hours.
• Signs indicating width may be required.
• Lights indicating vehicle width may be required for the hours of darkness.
• Disengage PTO when transporting.
• Ensure all hitch pins are correctly tted with retaining pins.
IF THE MACHINE IS PROVIDED WITH AN OPENING
TAILGATE, THIS CAN BE OPENED ONLY WITH THE
MACHINE STOPPED. FOR NO REASON CAN THE MACHINE
BE USED IN THE FIELD WITH THE TAILGATE OPEN.
NEVER START THE MACHINE WHEN AT 90°
ALWAYS ENGAGE PTO WHEN ROTOR IS PARALLEL TO THE
GROUND

14
Maintenance
The maintenance for the Concept Perugini ail mowers is very straight forward.
Lubrication
Every 10 working hours:
• Grease side shift sliding parts with Agip 33/FD or equivalent
Every 50 working hours:
• Check the gear box and side shaft oil level. If necessary top up with gear oil
EP90
Every 250 working hours or once a year:
• Change the oil in the gear box and the side shaft
• Grease the rear roller bearings. DO NOT OVER-GREASE the bearings, this
will lead to the seal braking causing dirt to enter the bearing and eventually
ceasing it.
To control the oil level in the gearbox use
tap Alocated behind the plastic guard.
The guard must be removed in order to
access tap A.

15
Rotor
Maintenance on the rotor is very important.
Before and After each use check to see if the rotor and ails are damaged. If
the rotor is damaged it will cause it to become unbalanced creating unwanted
vibrations which will lead to the supports breaking. If the rotor is damaged then
contact your local dealer.
Check the bolts for tightness and the ails for wear and breakages. Replace all
broken,bent or worn blades.
To replace the blades machine must be lifted and the blades replaced from
underneath, make sure the machine is properly supported and made safe.

16
Transmission
The transmission on all Concept Perugini ail
mowers is belt driven. After the rst 2/3 hours of
use check the tension in the belts via the slot on
the belt guard, there should be 5 mm play when
10kgf are applied.
Belt tension observation slot
Should the belts need tensioning or replacing,
the procedure is very simple.
INTERNAL GEARBOX
• Slacken the bolt C
• Slacken the bolts indicated A
• Adjust the tension by either tightening or
slackening bolt B, NB. Loosen the counter
nuts on Bbefore tightening or slackening
• When the belts are taught tighten the
counter nuts on Band tighten Aand C
EXTERNAL GEARBOX
• Slacken the 4 bolts indicated A
• Tighten or loosen bolt Bto reach the
optimum tension. NB loosen counter
nut on Bbefore either tightening or
slackening
• Once the tension has been made
tighten all bolts Band A

Stone Guards
The front stone guards are very important for the protection of the tractor driver.
Under no circumstances should the machine be used without the front stone
guards. If the guards are bent, worn or broken they should be immediately
replaced, failure to do so can result in severe injury and in certain cases can
cause death.
The picture shows the comparison between a used worn and bent stone guard
(top) and a new guard (bottom).
If the machine is properly set up, set at the correct height and the top tractor link
is adjusted accordingly then the stone guards should be able to hang freely and
not dig into the ground.
ALL MAINTENANCE MUST BE CARRIED OUT WITH THE TRACTOR
ENGINE OFF, P.T.O DISENGAGED AND THE MACHINE PROPERLY
SUPPORTED. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY
Storage
Before storing the ail mower after it’s seasonal use it is recommended that
a thorough check and clean is carried out. Remove all dirt and address any
severely worn parts or broken parts. Treat any areas of the machine where the
paint has worn o󰀨 with a rust inhibitor and store in a dry place out of the elements
to insure a longer life span. Grease the P.T.O shaft following the manufacturers
recommendations.
Spare Parts
For the correct spare parts contact your local dealer and ensure that you have
the all of the identication data and correct codes of the parts required.
Always use genuine Concept spare parts
