1. USING THE MOWER (FA1200, FA1500, FA1500XL,
FA1800, FA1800XL or FA2100XL)
• The mower must be connected to the tractor or a comparable piece of equipment (hereinafter called the
machine) using a three-point mounting frame.
• The working width is determined by the type and identifier of the mower.
• The mower can be used for grass and leaves on sports fields, parks, gardens, grass fields, etc. where there are
no stones, etc., that may injure people and that may cause machine damage!
• Only use and follow the manual of the BOXER mower.
• Note the danger symbols and pictograms and the recommendations indicated by labels on the machine.
• Every 10 working hours, lubricate the lubrication points that are earmarked “grease” (5x).
• Inspect the mower for excessive dirt and damage before you begin mowing.
• Make sure the chain guard on the back is working properly in connection with the danger of ejection of hard
bits such as stones, etc.
• Always drive down slopes in a straight line and not at a slant (only if the tractor is equipped with a ROPS cab).

2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The safety instructions below and the instructions given in the BOXER manual must be observed:
• The capacity and the stability of the machine to which the mower is connected must be adjusted to the mower
on the basis of 540 rpm (PTO).
• The fastening width of the machine must also be the same as the fastening width of the mower.
• Be aware of the controls and how to stop a tractor quickly.
• Conveying people is strictly forbidden!
• The working speed is between 2 and 10 km/h depending on the height and the density of the crop.
• The machine can be set almost level in the working position by using the lifting device and the traveling wheels.
• Avoid ground that does not provide sufficient support and is too uneven.
• The warning symbols and pictograms on the machine must continue to be visible and legible.
• Take care that no people or animals come into the operating range while mowing.
• Do not inspect or clean a machine while it is running.
• If the machine does not have a safety cab, wear safety goggles and a dust mask when mowing dusty or sandy
areas
• Wear hearing protection if the sound level is higher than 85 dBA.
• Only use the mower for mowing grass, leaves, etc., without coming into contact with stones, gravel, curbs, etc.
• Jolting, jerky and swaying movements must be avoided.
• The mower must be stored on a paved surface.
• All pins and bolted connections must have sound retainers.
• Improper use of the mower must be avoided at all times.
• If the hydraulics of the tractor’s lifting device are not operating properly, stop working immediately to prevent
accidents and/or damage.
• Work only with the mower in a horizontal position with both swivel casters on the ground. When transporting
over a road, the mower must be free of the ground and be securely suspended in the lifting chains of the three-
point lifting device so that no obstacles can be hit.
• Follow the safety instructions on the machine carefully and make sure that they are and remain properly legible
and visible. Replace the instructions when this is not the case.
• Stop immediately if someone comes within 90 meters of the running machine in connection with danger of
flying stones, which could cause injury.
• Make sure that the power take-off and its cover are in good condition.
• Never leave the tractor if the cutting blades are still rotating!
• Only work if the mowing machine can be seen (if required, turn on the tractor’s rear lights).

3. PUTTING INTO OPERATION / OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before connecting the mower to the machine mechanically, the following must be checked:
• Whether the machine has sufficient capacity in all situations that may arise.
• Whether the connection points to be secured on the mower match the connection points on the machine.
• Check that the power take-off does not touch anything with the lifting device in the highest and lowest
position.
• Make sure the chain guard on the back is working properly in connection with the danger of ejection of hard
bits such as stones, etc. If required, untangle the chain links.
• Whether the machine’s blades are sufficiently sharp; sharp blades guarantee a good result.
• Check the universal joint for proper connection and sufficient overlap (15 cm).
• Make sure that the power take-off and its cover are in good condition. Try to maintain a power take-off rotation
of 540 rpm. The power take-off guard is not allowed to rotate! (Use the chain attachment!)
After the points above have been checked, the mower can be connected to the machine mechanically. When
connecting mechanically, the machine must be maneuvered slowly to the attachment system.
Use the manual for specific settings and consult it with regard to the working method and use.

4. WORKING METHOD AND USE OF THE MOWER
Prior to use, the safety instructions given in Chapter 2 must be observed!
• Only work with coupling rods that move freely upward such that the mower runs horizontally and on its own
four swivel casters.
• The traveling wheels can be adjusted to set the working height (mower height).
• Take care that the shaft with universal joint is as level as possible when in the working position.
• Check the safeguards of top link pin and lifting rod pins.
• If the mowing height is set too low, the blades usually make too much contact with the ground and the machine
will be damaged.
• If required, untangle the chain links.
• Work only at a power take-off rotation of 540 rpm.
• After every working day, the mower must be cleaned carefully so that no grass and/or sand residue remains
stuck anywhere on the system and hardens. Park the combination with the mower on flat surface.
• Do not stand on the machine if the blades are still rotating!

5. STORAGE, MOVING AND DEPLOYABILITY
When storing the mower, make sure that the blades are free of any obstacle. Moving the mower on the swivel
casters is only permitted on a paved surface. Do not stand on the machine when moving it.
The power take-off must be fastened securely to the frame to prevent the possibility of a hand getting caught.

stuck anywhere on the system and hardens.
• The mower must be inspected for wear, distortion and cracking every 10 operating hours and after any
unforeseen event.
