SAFETY
* Check if the machine is in good working condition before operating it.
* Check if all safety covers, screens, lids and the suction tube are in place and in good state.
* Periodically checks the torque of all fasteners.
* Never modify the tractor engine tuning; do not boost the engine.
* Do not operate the machine in areas where you cannot keep other persons or animals at a
distance at which they cannot be hurt by projecting objects.
* If your tractor is equipped with a ROPS device, wear a safety belt.
* Do not allow passengers on the tractor.
* Check if nobody or nothing is standing behind you when driving backwards.
* When climbing up a slope, does it as slowly as possible. Never stop or start abruptly on slopes.
* The tractor will have a totally different centre of gravity when equipped with a collector, which diminishes
its operating capacity on slopes. Do not climb a slope when the collector is full.
* Reduce your speed on slopes and when turning sharply in order to avoid loss of control.
* Be careful not to let slip the machine sideways when travelling along soft shoulders or ditches.
* Be on your guard for holes or other folds in the surface when working in bumpy areas.
* Disengage the mower and the collector, stop the engine, apply the parking brake, remove the
starter key and wait until the complete stop of the moving components, before servicing the tractor.
* Do not allow anyone in the driver’s seat when servicing the tractor.
In some of the illustrations shown in this manual, safety covers, panels, lids or even the suction tube
may have been removed for clarity. Never operate the machine without these safety devices.
* Learn how to stop the machine in case of emergency. Read this manual together with the manual of the tractor and
the mower.
* Never authorise another person to operate the machine without him/her having read and understood the manual.
* Never authorise children to operate the machine.
* Always wear appropriate and tight fitting clothing to avoid clothes being dragged into the moving parts of the machine.
* Always wear protective devices for your head, your eyes, your ears, your hands and your feet during operation.
* Thoroughly inspect the area where the machine is to be used and remove all stones, sticks and other debris that
might be projected thus causing injuries or damages.
* Operate the machine only in daylight or using a good light source.
* Check if the safety decals are in place and well legible.

Slowly back up the tractor to the container and stop the engine
Connect the liftarms with the tractor and secure
Connect the upperlink , make sure that the collector is in a straight position .
Connect PTO.
Connect hydraulic.
Preparation of the tractor
Equipe the tractor with the double acting valve.Tyre pressures need to have same values..The
3 point linkage need to be adjusted.
PTO rpm need to be 540 rpm

To remove the blower work in opposite way
Important
Important
Be sure to connect correctly the universal joint ; serious damage may be the result if the
universal joint is too long .Make sure that the universal joint is not too short this could cause
injuries and risk of mall functioning
Universal joint lenght
Move the TXG to the collector. Take the universal joint and put the 2 parts near each other.
The shaft may not be longer then the distance between tractor and collector. The overlap of
the universal joint should be 60mm.
How to cut the universal joint?
Both parts ,of the profile and protection, need to be cut in the correct lenght.
Apply grease on the profile and slide both parts together
Mount the universal joint

Transport
The tractor and collector may only be transported in empty conditions
For transport on a trailer or road use lightening kit.
Emptying of the collector:
Emptying the collector is only possible with the container is in the upper position.
To empty the collector use the handel , or if you installed a cabine use hydraulic valve
The GLS 550 H can not be opened in the lowest position.
Emptying or raising the collector is only possible if the piston is correct
mounted.
Never raise the collector when the tractor is moving . Raising the collector
when the tractor is in motion might cause damages to the collector .
Raise the collector to his highest position and secure , which prevent the
collector from falling down
Maintenance
1. Torque of the fasteners
Check the torque of all fasteners. The bolts and nuts can loosen by vibrations .
2. Universal joint
a) Grease up the universal joint
b) Keep dust free
c) Apply grease to the universal joint profile

11
d) Replace damaged parts immediatley
Hydraulic:
Check the hydraulic hoses . They should not be flattened , worn or torn.
Replace if necessary
Screen/net:
Remove any grass clippings from the screens of the collector. Clean screen will insure good
collecting and complete filling performances
Belt:
Check the state of the belt after the first 8 hours
Afterwards check the tension on the belt every 50 hours
State of the blower
Check the blower fins. They should not be twisted , damaged or dented. A damaged fin could
bring the blower out of balance.
If the blower is out of balance please contact your ISEKI dealer
Cleaning or after every mowing season or once a year
- Clean the entire machine and pay special attention to the components where the clippings can
accumulate: the collector intake, the discharge tube of the blower, the mower shooter and the collector
itself. Eliminate all grass accumulations for they diminish the performance of the machine.
After having cleaned the machine with water, grease up the bearings and engage the blower in order to get
rid of any water that might have accumulated in the blower.
- Check if the blower shaft turns freely and that there is no free play. Replace if necessary.
- Check the hydraulic hoses: they should not be flattened, worn or torn. Replace if necessary.
-Check the transmission oil: empty the oil tank and refill it with new oil. Replace the oil filter, check for any
oil leaks, retighten the leak-off adapter and renew the flexible couplings if necessary.
