into the working position (up). After removal put the support feet
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.

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.
Before testing of hydraulic system move away blockade
for horisontal movement.
Before transport put on the blockade for horisontal movement. MKM
130,160 and 190 transport in the horisontal position. MKM 225 is
transported in a vertical position because of its total width (Fig 13/1).
Vertical transport position is secured with vertical hydraulic blockade.
Fig. 12
Fig. 13

20
It is mandatory to put on a horisontal blockade during
transport.
3-point hitch of the machine must be in a simetrical
position with the tractor.
At connecting hydraulic pipes first split both parts of
hydraulic connecting ends for each hydraulic cylinder and
properly connect with those on the tractor.
At the machine attached put both support feet into a
transport position.
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. 15. 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.
