Mower Pre-Use Checks
Upon receipt of your new mower and again within the rst 4 hours of use
(the ‘shake in’ period), we recommend the following:
1. Ensure the immediate area/ground is clear of debris.
2. Remove all packaging materials including wire bands/tape.
3. Check/tighten all bolts, nuts and screws (and those securing blades).
4. Check the tension of any belt (s), and adjust if required.
5. Apply grease to grease points if required.
6. Check engine oil level, top-up if required but do not overll.
7. Check fuel in tank and tyre pressures.
Vehicle Pre-Use Checks
1. Check the mower is properly attached to the vehicle and ball hitch is
secure.
2. Before installing, the vehicle and mower should be stationary,
remove the key from the ignition.
3. Install and secure all safety guards, doors and covers before
operating.
4. Bystanders should leave the immediate area before connecting the
drive from the vehicle.
Post-Use Regular Checks
Safety precaution: Be aware components can be hot after operation.
Allow drive belts/mower to cool before performing checks.
1. Check blades, belts and wearing parts. Ensure they are not damaged
and blades are secure in their mounts. Repair or replace as required.
2. Clean the attachment, and check for/clear any entangled material
around any moving parts.
3. Check rotor and roller bearings, apply grease if required.

Specications
The ATV Flail Mower G-AFL model is perfect for cutting pasture and
paddock areas, ideal for maintaining a variety of grasses around the
smallholding. The mower has an independent petrol engine with tow hitch
for pulling behind an ATV. Use at a walking speed for the best cut and
nish.
Fitted with an easy to start engine, the G-AFL has been designed to cope
with a wide range of conditions. It has an easy height adjustment and a full
width anti-scalping roller to avoid damage to machine and sward.

Before installation/maintenance, the vehicle and mower should be
stationary and the ignition key removed.
Adjust the mower drawbar to allow the mower to run directly behind the
towing vehicle.
The drawbar attachment height of the towing vehicle can vary. To
accommodate adjustment, an adjustment arm is located beneath the
drawbar. This should be lengthened or shortened so that the cutting deck
is horizontal to level ground. This ensures a better nish.
Unlock the locking nuts (A), spin the arm to lengthen the link to lower the
front of the deck, or shorten to raise the deck. Once the deck is level, re-
tighten locking nuts.

Starting the Engine
Before installation/maintenance, the vehicle and mower should be
stationary and the ignition key removed.
Observe all safety precautions: Keep hands and feet away from rotor/
moving parts. Keep spectators at a safe distance. Ensure there is a gap
between the blades and the ground. Select an area clear of loose debris.
Set the engine choke and suitable idling speed with the throttle. Place one
foot on top of the deck body for a rm and balanced position. Pull the
starter cord rmly, allow the cord to return to the housing slowly (one or
two strong pulls should start the engine). After a few seconds warming up
at idling speed, move the throttle to the factory pre-set working position
(see the Engine Owner Manual for full operating instructions)
NOTE: If the throttle is altered to increase the engine rpm beyond the
recommended level, the guarantee may become invalid. This may
also cause cutting ineciency, excessive vibration and an increase in
fuel consumption.
Simply hitch up the mower and turn the ignition key to start the mower.
The amount of grass/weeds dictates the forward speed. In most cases,
slow forward speeds give better results; 1 mph = very heavy use, 6 mph =
very light use. Start o in the slowest speed possible, ensure the mower is
working eciently with the engine set at maximum rpm and not
labouring. If this is not possible due to very heavy cutting conditions, raise
cutting height of blades and be prepared to go over twice with the
machine set lower on the second pass. Leave 24 hours in-between rst
and second cut to allow grass to dry out. Always listen to the engine to
ensure both engine and mower are working eciently, slow down or stop
once the engine starts to labour.
Failure to do all of the above will result in clutch slip and ultimately
severe damage to the clutch and drive belts.

On uneven ground, if a wheel drops into a hole, the roller takes the weight
of the mower to stop the ails scalping the ground. The roller allows the
wheel to hang over the kerb edge, so kerb side grass can be cut without
diculty. The factory pre-set position of the roller and side skids are
suitable for most situations. If used regularly on heavy grass however, the
roller and side skids should be lowered to increase the clearance between
the ail and the ground. If the mower is used as a ‘nishing mower’, the
roller can be adjusted to give the required cutting height:
To adjust the roller and skids (repeat for both ends):
1. Slacken pivot bolt ‘A’.
2. Slacken and remove bolt ‘B’.
3. Move the bracket and select another hole and replace bolt ‘B’.
4. Tighten bolts ‘A’ and ‘B’.
5. Remove the bolt at the front of the skid and the rear of the skid ‘C’.
6. Select new setting, replace the bolts and tighten. Ensure both skids
are set the same and parallel.
