3. Safety
3.1 General safety rules
1. Before starting, checks on the tractor and the machine must be
carried out as regards: functionality, road safety, accident
prevention rules.
2. Together with the operating and maintenance rules for the
machine it is necessary to consider general health and security
rules and warnings.
3. Before starting it is mandatory to know everything regarding the
equipment and operating of the machine. Reading instructions
among operating is too late.
4. Security and warning decals on the machine are very important.
Respect them always.
5. Even when using the machine correctly, stones or other objects
may be thrown on a long distance. Therefore nobody must stand
within the danger area. Special attention must be paid when
working near roads or buildings.
6. Use tractor with the cabin.
7. Whenever using public roads, respect traffic rules.
8. Never wear loose or fluttering clothes.
9. Keep the machine clean to avoid fire danger.
10. Before starting check the surrounding area for the likely presence
of children and/or animals.
11. Never carry passengers on the machine.

10
12. At connecting the machine on the tractor put a support foot into
the working position (up). After removal put the support foot into
the standing position (down). Take care about the stability of the
machine when it is removed.
13. Never overload the machine and the tractor. Use the ballast if
necessary.
14. Start the machine only if all guards of the machine are fit on
proper places .
15. It is forbidden to stand in the range of operating of the machine.
16. Do not enter the working zone of the PTO shaft. It is dangerous to
approach the rotating parts of the machine.
17. Keep a safety distance from drive parts outside of the machine
(PTO shaft, hydraulic pipes).
18. Before leaving the tractor with the machine attached disconnect
the tractor, put the machine steadily on the ground (with the
hydraulic lift), apply the hand brake and if the ground is steeply
slooping, wedge the tractor.Take out the starting key.
19. Do not enter the zone between the tractor and the machine. It is
strongly forbidden to be in this zone if the tractor is not properly
disconnected, hand brake applied and starting key taken out.
Attachment on the tractor and transport
1. Before attaching the machine on or detaching it of the tractor be
sure that hydraulic lift system is in a neutral position.
2. check that a category of 3-point linkage on the tractor
corresponds to that one on the machine.
3. Be careful! There is a danger of injuries when working near or
with 3-point linkage.

11
4. It is forbidden to be in the zone between the tractor and the
machine while working with the hydraulics.
5. Put the 3-point linkage into the position that moving of the
machine during transport is not possible.
6. During transport secure the lever of hydralic lift to avoid any
unplanned moving the machine.
7. Never leave the tractor cab when the tractor is working.
8. Adjust driving speed to the road conditions.
PTO drive
1. Use only PTO shafts with all guards, as directed by the producer.
2. All guards on PTO shaft must be in good order .
3. Take care that all guards on the PTO shaft are in proper position
during transport or operating. Respect the producer's instructions.
4. The PTO shaft must be assembled or diassambled only with the
engine stopped and the starting key removed.
5. The guards of the PTO shaft must be fixed to the machine and to
the tractor with chains, to prevent rotation.
6. Before starting always check that the speed and the rotational
direction correspond to those on the machine.
7. At some tractors a number of rotations depends on the speed and
a direction of rotating depends on the direction of driving. Take
care about that.
8. Before starting the PTO shaft be sure, that noone is in the danger
area.

12
9. Never try to start the PTO shaft when the tractor engine is
disconnected.
10. It is forbidden to be in the zone of drive axle exit, when it is
engaged.
11. After the drive is disconnected wait that the drive axle stops to
rotate completely. Never approach before it stops.
12. Never carry out maintenance of a machine or tractor whilst the
engine is running. The engine should be switched off and the key
removed.
13. If the PTO shaft is damaged, immediately stop with any
operating.
Hydraulic system
1. Take care! Hydraulics is under very high pressure.
2. At connecting the pipes on the tractor check that the pressure is
not too low.
3. We recommend that an official service tests the pipes before
operating and than at least ones per year. Damaged or worn pipes
should be replaced immediately with others of the same
specification.
4. at checking pipes it is necessary to wear protection clothes and
gloves to avoid injuries.
5. The oil under high pressure may sweep into the skin causing
serious infections. In this case contact a doctor immediately.
6. Before working on the hydraulic system lower the machine, take
pressure out and stop the tractor.

13
7. Approximate using period of the pipes is 6 years. After that the
pipes should be replaced to avoid any damage.
8. Used oils and greases must be stored and disposed of according to
antipollution rules.
Safety rules during use
1. Never start or continue to work with the machine if the tractor or
the drive axle are engaged
2. Always remove the starting key after you stopped the tractor.
3. Periodically check that bolts and nuts are tighten properly.
4. At maintaining it is sometimes necessary to lift the machine. It is
mandatory to put under the machine an appropriate support to
avoid falling the machine at eventual damage on hydraulics.
5. Use the gloves and appropriate tools at changing sharp parts of
the machine to avoid injuries.
6. Used oils and greases should be removed according to the rules.
7. Always disconnect electric cables on the tractor before any
welding or other operation when using electricity is necessary.
8. Only original spare parts should be installed.

5. Transport and attachment of the machine
5.1. Transport to the customer

17
Unload the machine with special care to avoid any damage.
Check that all nuts and bolts are fixed and tightened. Specially check
the bolts and nuts for the working blades.
5.2. Attachment and detachment from the tractor
Before any operation check:
That the machine is in good condition,
That all guards are on proper places and in good condition,
That working blades are complete and undamaged,
That all greasing points are greased well and that in gearbox
is oil enough,
Appropriate tensioned belts,
That rpm and direction of rotation on the drive axle
correspond to those on the machine.
To attack the machine to the tractor, bring the tractor lower lines near
the machine, to the points corresponding to the pins. Insert the pins and
secure them with the spring clips. Fit the top link, raise the machine to a
perpendicular position with the ground. Adjust the two tractor lower
linkage stabilizers thus fixing the machine to the tractor in a central
position. Connect the hydraulic cylinders and check if it works.
3-point hitch of the machine must be in a simetrical
position with the tractor.
Top linkage point has two working modes: front linkage and rear
linkage. After changing the position put back the security pivot pin
(Fig.7/2). Security pivot pin must always be on its position during
transport. For floating position move away this pin during work
(Pos.7/1).
Always check that rpm and direction of rotation on tractor and
flail mower are the same.

5.3 Fitting the PTO shaft
Attack the machine on the tractor. Split the tubes into both parts and
put one part on the tractor and another on the machine. At the machine
laying on the ground, minimum overlapping of the tubes mustn't be less
than 1/3 of total length. Cut too long part of the tube and clean the edges.
Cut on the proper length also the guard as on Fig.9. Measure the length
when the PTO shaft is in horisontal position. Grease before putting them
together.
Too long PTO shaft can seriously damage tractor or flail
mower.
Never put PTO shaft on the tractor without all guards.

6. Adjustment and setting up
6.1 Regulation of the height of cut
Height of cut depends on working conditions and volume of the
material. The height of cut can be regulated with the hydraulic system on
the tractor or/and with adjusted rear roller of the machine (Fig. 12).
The min. height of cut should be between 1-3 cm. The machine always
run on the rear roller and not on the skids.
Fig. 11 Fig. 12
Working tools never
touch the ground. The
skids are only the
protection against
injuries. They do not
touch the ground.
6.2 Offsetting
the machine has in standard
equipment a hydraulic offsetting
(Fig.13).
