Before installation/maintenance, the tractor and mower should be
stationary with the hydraulic lift system in a neutral position and the
ignition key removed.
On a at area of ground lower the three point linkage on the tractor to its
lowest position. Attach the mower to the tractor using the three point
linkage pins and linch pins:
Installation Overview
With the mower’s rear roller on the ground, adjust the length of the top
link arm so that the skids at the side of the mower are parallel with the
ground.
To set correct cutting height, rotate the blade rotor by hand, so they hang
vertically towards the ground. There should be a clearance of at least 5cm
between the blades and the ground. To increase the blade clearance and
cutting height for rough ground or long grass, raise the tractor’s hydraulic
lift arm or adjust the rear roller and skids on the mower.
The working speed of the mower should be at a walking pace of 2 to 5
mph. Overgrown grass/weeds should be cut at a much slower pace to
avoid damage to the mower.
Check the oil level in the gearbox, the tension of the drive belts and
tightness of all bolts, nuts and screws. Lubricate all grease points including
PTO drive shaft. Attach the PTO drive shaft and ensure locking pin is
secure on both the tractor and mower sides. Attach the chain to a secure
point on the tractor/mower. Ensure all safety guards are in place. Always
replace worn or damaged PTO drive shafts.
Operate the mower in a low gear range, keep the PTO output at 540 rpm.
8
Resizing the PTO Drive Shaft
Before installation/maintenance, the tractor and mower should be
stationary, the hydraulic lift system in a neutral position and the
ignition key removed.
A PTO drive shaft will often need re-sizing to t the tractor. To resize,
attach the mower to the tractor without the PTO drive shaft, raise the
linkage so the PTO drive shaft is level/horizontal. Measure the length
between the tractor’s PTO and the PTO drive shaft. If the compressed
(closed) PTO drive shaft length exceeds the one measured in diagram 7
below, then the driveline will need to be cut as per instructions below.
If you are not condent in carrying out this work please contact your local
supplier or mechanic.
1. Remove PTO drive shaft shielding. 2. Cut the driveline tubes to equal
lengths.
3. Use a le to smooth edges of the
driveline tube and clear away all
llings from the tubes.
4. Cut the guard tubes to the same
length as the driveline tubes.
5. Grease the internal driveline tube. 6. Fit the guard on the shaft.
7. Ensure that the length allows for
at least 16cm (1/3) of overlap

9
Before installation/maintenance, the tractor and mower should be
stationary with the hydraulic lift system in a neutral position and
the ignition key removed.
To increase the blade clearance and cutting height for rough ground or
long grass, either raise the tractor’s hydraulic lift arm or adjust the rear
roller and skids on the mower.
Rear Roller Adjustment:
1. Loosen bolt (2)
2. Remove bolt (1) on both sides of the mower.
3. Adjust the roller by aligning the selected hole in the roller support
bracket at position (1). (Using the hole closest to the ground gives
the highest working height).
4. Put bolt (1) into the selected hole and re-tighten bolts (1) and (2).
Setting cut height
Skid Adjustment: Loosen bolts (3) on the skids (front and back on both
sides). Move the skids up or down to the desired height. Re-tighten bolts.

10
Drive Belt Adjustment
Before installation/maintenance, the tractor and mower should be
stationary with the hydraulic lift system in a neutral position and the
ignition key removed.
To achieve the correct belt tension, the belt must be deected by the belt
thickness approx. 1cm at the centre point between the pulleys. Always
align the gearbox so the PTO drive shaft is parallel with the body. Use a
straight edge to ensure the belt pullies are inline and running true.

11
Drive Belt Adjustment (continued)
Check drive belts regularly and replace if damaged or worn. To check the
belt condition and tension:
1. Loosen screw (A) and (B) that locks the support shaft and loosen
counter nut (C).
2. Loosen the screws that lock the gear box on the mounting plate (D).
3. Adjust the drive belt tension using bolt and nut (C).
4. Re-tighten the gear box mounting plate screws (D).
5. Tighten screw (A) and (B) on the support shaft.
6. Replace the belt guard.
7. Ensure the safety guards are correctly in place and mounting bolts
are tight before operating.

Oil Level Check: Check gear oil level when the unit is cold and the mower
is level. Remove the level plug (1) from the side of the gearbox. Remove
the ller/breather plug (2) from the top of the gearbox.
Gear Oil Grade 80w90 gear oil for all conditions (or equivalent)
Gearbox Oil Level Approx. 0.5 litres to level plug
First Oil Change 50 hours use
Oil Change Frequency 250 hours/yearly (whichever is rst)
Gearbox Maintenance
12
The oil level should reach the level plug (1). Top-up the oil through (2) if
required. Avoid over lling as this may cause excess pressure and oil leaks.
Replace the level and ller/breather plugs (be careful not to over tighten as
this may cause a pressure build-up in the gearbox).
Oil Change: Remove level plug (1) and ller/breather plug (2). Use an oil
pump to extract all oil and debris from the gearbox. Fill with oil to the level
plug, and replace both plugs.

Servicing & Maintenance
Before installation/maintenance, the tractor and mower should be
stationary with the hydraulic lift system in a neutral position and the
ignition key removed.
Greasing & Lubrication:
Use a clean cloth to wipe grease nipples before greasing to avoid injecting
any dirt. Press grease into each nipple three to ve times. For best results
use a hand-held grease gun. If nipples will not take the grease, thoroughly
clean the passageway. Replace or repair any broken grease points
immediately. Store all lubricants away from excessive heat, dust, moisture
and contaminants.
Regularly check the condition of blades, wear gloves and take care when
handling. Replace blades if worn/broken and ensure they are balanced to
avoid excessive vibration. Check the condition of belts, replace if worn or
frayed. Adjust the belt tension if required.
Check the bearings on the blade rotor and rear roller. If the oil seals are
damaged debris may enter. Clean and replace with new bearings if
required. Run the mower without a load for 3-5 minutes to check bearings
are operating smoothly. Check the condition of the side skids, replace if
worn.
Check the condition of PTO drive shaft, immediately replace if worn or
damaged.
Regularly check oil levels and top-up/replace when required. Ensure the
mower deck is clean, remove any debris from moving parts. Do not spray
water on bearings if cleaning with a high-pressure washer. Re-paint any
damaged paintwork to prevent corrosion. Store the mower in a dry, level
area. Support the frame if necessary.
Grease Type: Multi-purpose lithium based grease
Grease Frequency: Check every 4-8 hours (top-up if required)
Grease Points: Bearings on the blade rotor x 2 quantity
Bearings on the rear roller x 2 quantity
PTO drive shaft x 2 quantity
