DESCRIPTION
FUNCTION OF USE
The machine thanks to the hydraulic adjustment system can makes different functions like cut grass, cut up
poles exc.
The use of a technical constructive concept trended to the search of high performances, reduction of trebles
and durability, improves the power/consumption ratio of the tractor thanks to the elasticity of the machine
frame, to the tools shape, to the perfect rotor balancing and to many original technical solutions.
PERFORMANCES
The machine is connected to the tractor with a three points hitch that gives the motion of translation and with
a PTO shaft connected with the tractor PTO that gives the motion of rotation to the hoes shaft.
The hydraulic driven parallelogram mechanism allow to move the machine on the right respect to the center
of the tractor, the hydraulic driven rotation mechanism allow to tilt the machine respect to the ground.
The working width is fix and it's determined from the choice of the machine type.
The working depth is adjustable.
The rear roll adjusts the cutting height and provides to tread the cut material.
PERFORMANCES LIMIT
Speeds greater than the maximum can compromise the condition of the machine, the quality of the work
and the safety of the operator.
Maximum power applicable to the gear box: from 9 to 20 Kw ±5% with 540 r.p.m. Superior power to
which is indicated can damage irreparably the transmission gear box; especially during heavy works.
STANDARD EQUIPMENTS
-Standard PTO shaft.
-Free wheel device inside gear box.
-Rear roll.
-Blade tools
VARIANT & OPTIONS
-Hammer tools.

Gear box has inside a free wheel device, after P.T.O. disconnection rotor turns for at
least 30 seconds, before approach the tools be sure that the rotor is stopped.
WARNING :
To prevent damage to the PTO shaft and to the gear box, don’t start the machine
roughly.
SAFETY RESTRICTIONS
Children and people who are not familiar with these instructions must not be permitted to use the machine.
Local regulations can restrict the use of the machine in accordance to the age.
RUNNING IN
A new machine needs a running in. At the first use connect the machine to the tractor, connect the PTO shaft,
pull down the machine at 15 centimeter from ground then start the P.T.O. and gradually bring it to 540 r.p.m...
Run the machine for about 15 minutes. A whistle in the supports zone it is normal and it’s due to the
arrangement of the support protection, it will disappear in a few times.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. BEFORE BEGINNING WORK
ATTENTION: the machine must be used with a tractor equipped with 4 hydraulic couplings.
a) Hook the machine to the tractor, operate as follows :
1. Remove the safety pins from the two lower connection points of the machine.
2. Plug in the raising tractor beams into the lower connection points of the machine and lock with the
safety pins.
3. Connect through tie-rod the third hitch point of the tractor with the third point of the machine (the
connection triangle vertex), insert the pin and lock with safety pin.
4. Connect the 4 hydraulic pipes to the tractor hydraulic couplings.
b) With the machine raised, go to work area.
c) Connect the tractor PTO with machine PTO.
d) Check that PTO chain is locked to prevent the protection sheet of PTO rotating.
e) Adjust the cutting height as follow :
1. Unlock the screw "A".
2. Unscrew the screw "B" then take out it.
3. Repeat the same operations on the other side of the machine.
4. Set the position of the roll “C”. Moving up the roll cutting height decrease, moving it down cutting
height increase.
5. Insert then lock the screws "B", lock the screws “A”.

8
2. TO BEGINNING WORK
