Attaching the machine to the Tractor
Concept Perugini Flail toppers can be linked up to any tractor with a category 1
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
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 will damage the rotor.
Always adjust the top link to keep the machine parallel to the ground when
adjusting the height of the rear roller.
Working Depth
A
B
CT
The working depth is set by altering the
position of the rear roller support.
To do this:
• Slacken bolt A
• Remove and reposition the support in B
• Tighten all bolts
• Repeat for both sides

XT YT
The working depth is set by altering the
position of the rear roller supports.
• Slacken A
• Remove Band reposition the support
• Tighten all bolts
• Repeat for both sides
A

Side Shift
The YT comes with either mechanical or hydraulic side shift.
To use the hydraulic side shift connect the hoses to the double acting spool valve
on the tractor.
Keep all moving parts well lubricated to minimise wear.
When in the eld always lift the machine o󰀨 the ground before operating the side
shift, to not do so will strain the machine and will cause breakage.

10
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.
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.
Road Transport
When transporting on the road make sure to disconnect the PTO, if the machine
is tted with wheels then fold them in by relocating the pin. Carefully follow the
tra󰀩c regulations of your country.
Maintenance
The maintenance for the Concept Perugini ail mowers is very straight forward.

11
Lubrication
Every 10 working hours:
Grease the side shift sliding parts with Agip 33/FD or equivalent
Unless there are any leaks then the gearbox oil does not need to be changed or
topped up.
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 slots
on the belt guard, there should be 5 mm play
when 10kgf are applied.
Belt tension observation slot

CT Belt Adjustment
A
• To adjust the belt tension tighten or slacken the bolt A until the desired
tension has been made
• Undo counter bolts B and raise or lower the gearbox in order to make the
side shaft square with the side of the mower
• If the gearbox has been raised or lowered by quite a di󰀨erence then the side
shaft guard will need to be moved and made square. To do this slacken bolts
C and move the guard up or down and then tighten C

• Adjust bolt Bas desired in order to obtain the
correct tension
• Via bolts A move the gearbox so that the side
shaft is parallel to the ground and then tighten A
• Slacken C in order to manoeuvre the side shaft
guard so that this too is parallel with the ground,
then tighten Dand C

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
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
