disconnected from the tractor, the handbrake has been pulled, the engine has stopped
and the ignition key has been removed.
2. There should never be people behind the mower, on the mower or around the mower when
in operation and this is especially true if driving with a back door in open situation, as
objects from the machine can hit and cause injury or death.
3. Pto shaft must be removed.
4. The flail mower must stand stably and securely.
5. The bolts holding the tailgate in place must be refitted with locking nuts before starting the

Pay attention to signal words:
A signal word tells something about the level of danger.
DANGER: Indicates a dangerous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
This signal word is limited to the most extreme situations, typically to machine components which, for
the sake of function, cannot be shielded.
WARNING: Indicates a potentially dangerous situation which, if not avoided, could result in
deathd or serious injury, and includes danger when the safety shields are removed. It can also be
used to warn against unsafe practices.
CAUTION: Indicates a potentially dangerous situation that, if not avoided, could result in minor
or moderate injury. It can also be used to warn against unsafe practices.
For your own protection:
Read and understand the manual and all the safety labels!
Decommissioning and storage:
Lower the machine to the ground, put the tractor in the parking lock, turn off the engine and
take the ignition key. Release and store the machine in an area where children do not play and
where there is normally no active activity. Secure the machine using blocks and supports.

laws. Especially use light when transporting the machine at night!
Flashing warning lights and turn signals are recommended when transporting on public roads.
Transport security:
• Ovecomply with state and local laws.
• Maximum transport speed with the flail mower is 20 km/h. Do not exceed this speed. Never
drive at a speed that does not allow stretchable control of steering and stopping. Soft and
uneven terrains require lower speed than usual.
• Sudden braking can cause the pulled flail mower to move abruptly
• Use the following maximum speed:
20 km/h when the weight is less than or equal to the weight of the
tractor. 10 km/h when the weight is more than the weight of the
tractor.
• IMPORTANT: Do not pull the flail mower if it is more than twice the weight of the tractor.

4. Instruction manual
NOTE: Always turn off the PTO before raising the flail mower to the transport position.
• When the flail mower is raised to the transport position, make sure that the PTO is not in
contact with the tractor or flail mower. Adjust and set the tractor's 3-point suspension at a
height so that the PTO is not in contact with the flail mower in the raised position.
• Be sure to reduce the running speed of the tractor when turning and leave enough space so
that the flail mower does not come into contact with buildings, trees or fences, etc.
• Choose a safe ground speed when transporting from one area to another. When driving on
roads, drive so that faster-moving vehicles can pass you safely.
• When driving on uneven or hilly terrain, put the tractor in a lower gear.
Caution:
When driving on public roads, regardless of at night or during the day, use lights and other appliances
so that there is sufficient warning for operators of other vehicles. Comply with all federal, state and
local laws.
Cutting instructions:
• Clear the area to be cut of objects and remains that may be picked up and thrown by the flail
mower's knives.
• Grass is best to mow when dry.Mowing wet grass can cause clogging which results in
lumps of grass.
• When mowing extremt tall grass, it is best to raise the cutting height and mow off the area
several times, during which the height of the flail mower is constantly reduced.
Instruction manual:
Proper maintenance and adjustments are the key to long machine life.With careful and systematic
inspection of the flail mower, expensive maintenance, time and repair can be saved away.

the speed until the desired speed is reached – but observe the max 540 PTO rpm.
10. The hammer knifes will cut better with fast blade speed.
11. After mowing the first 15 meters, the work is stopped and it is checked that the flail mower
is adjusted correctly.
Starting the Machine
Before starting the flail mower, the following are checked:
• Tension of the straps
