Tractor Requirements
Attaching the machine to the tractor will inuence the stability and manoeuvrability of the tractor. Please
consult your tractor manual for limitations on weight and towing ability of the tractor.
It is the operator’s responsibility to ensure that the tractor is suitable for the machine. Always consult your tractor’s
manual for any further information required.
Recommended Horse Power requirements for the particular models are provided in the “Product Specication” section
of this booklet. Using excessive power can affect the quality of cut and/or may damage the machine.
Tractors which are not suitable for the operation can sustain damage due to the weight and power requirements of
the machine. Always observe the weight of machine provided in the “Product Specication” section of this booklet,
compare this with the guidelines from the tractor manual and ensure that the tractor can lift the machine safely.
The machine is designed to be attached by means of a 2/3 point linkage connection or can be trailed (specic
models). The position of the machine can be adjusted by manual or hydraulic top link.
Winged models require at least one hydraulic spool with 1/2” female quick release connection for a single acting ram/
rams.
Road light kit requires a 12V 7 pin socket.
Safety
The operator’s manual also explains any potential safety hazards whenever necessary in special safety messages that
are identied with the word, CAUTION, and the safety-alert symbol .
Hazards associated with operating Grass Cutting Machinery
Shear Hazard
Shear hazards are created when the edges of two objects move toward or next to each other closely enough to cut
relatively soft material. This can include the parts of the machine under hydraulic control when operating from transport
to mowing position. Note, the wing units are designed to oat independently of the centre deck & are free to move within
operating limits.
Crush Hazard
Bystanders can be injured when machine is lowered into mowing position. Winged machines have crush points around
the hinge areas & between the wing & main body. Always use transport locking bars when not in use (winged models
only).
Rotating Blade Hazard
All persons are at risk if they place their hands or feet under the machine when it is raised from the ground when the
blades are in motion.
Pinch Hazard
Pinch points are created when two objects move together, with at least one of them moving in a circle. This hazard is
common in power transmission devices such as Belt Drives, Gear Drives & Rollers. Ensure all guarding is present.
Wrap Hazard
Any exposed, rotating machine component is a potential wrap point. Injuries usually occur when loose clothing or long
hair catch on and wrap around rotating parts such as PTO shafts or Drive shafts on the machine. Ensure all guarding
is present.

www.major-equipment.com 3
Free-wheeling parts Hazard
The heavier a revolving part is, the longer it will continue to rotate after power is shut off. This characteristic is called
‘free-wheeling.’ Blades, and various other components, drive shafts etc., will continue to move after power is shut off -
often for several minutes. Injuries occur when:
• Operators shut off equipment, and attempt to clean or adjust a machine before components have completely stopped
moving.
• Shear bolt protection device in PTO shaft shears & the mowing parts are still spinning but the primary PTO shaft is
stationary. Operator awareness is the key to safety around freewheeling parts. Never raise the machine while the
blades are still rotating.
Thrown objects Hazard
Machines throw material as a natural part of doing their job. Foreign objects, such as stones, sticks and other debris,
may be taken into this equipment and expelled at tremendous speed. These objects are contained by the sides of the
machine and by the rear/front rollers / guards / chain guards / rubber skirts depending on model of your machine.
Ensure bystanders are clear from the machine & cannot be hit with debris expelled from the machine. Bystanders or
animals in the path of thrown objects could be seriously injured. Never operate machine with decks raised from the
ground as this makes the front/rear protection redundant.
Hydraulic Hazard (if applicable)
Hydraulic systems store considerable energy. Careless servicing, adjustment, or replacement of parts can result in
serious injury. High pressure blasts of hydraulic oil can injure eyes or other body parts. The following precautions are
crucial:
• Make certain the hydraulic pump is turned off.
• Lower attached equipment to the ground.
• Conrm that load pressure is off the system.
A pinhole leak in an hydraulic hose is a serious hazard. A leak may not be visible, and the only sign may be a few drops
of uid. Never inspect hydraulic hoses with your hands, because a ne jet of hydraulic uid can pierce the skin.
Slips, Trips and Falls Hazard
Slips and falls often result from:
1. Slippery footing on the ground
2. Cluttered steps and work platforms.
The potential for slips and falls can be greatly reduced by using good judgement and practicing good housekeeping on
and around equipment.
Noise Hazard
Please note that the machine is normally used outdoors and that the position of the operator is seated in the driving seat
of the tractor. It is advisable to consult the prescriptions listed in tractor operator and maintenance manuals.
The acoustic pressure at a distance of 2.6m from the centre of the machine and at a height of 2.0m, with the implement
operating in a no load condition can reach 90 dBA. In a loaded condition & a PTO rate of 540 (1000) RPM the value can
reach 97dBA. Higher rate of PTO input will result in higher noise levels. Always wear hearing protection.
Operating Safely
This MAJOR machine is designed to operate at a PTO rate which is stated in the Product Specications part of this
booklet. Ensure tractor PTO output is set at a correct RPM rate. This MAJOR machine must only be used for purposes
outlined in the Intended Use section of this booklet. All other use is strictly prohibited.
Users should become thoroughly familiar with the contents of this manual before using, servicing and
mounting the implement to the tractor and all other pertinent operations. Never wear jewellery, loose clothing
such as ties, scarves, belts, unbuttoned jackets or dungarees with open zips which could become caught up
in moving parts.
Always wear approved garments complying with accident prevention provisions such as non-slip shoes, ear
muffs, goggles and gauntlets. Wear a jacket with reecting stickers if the implement is used near public
highways.
Consult your retailer, the Labour Health Service or your nearest equivalent authority for the information about
the current safety provisions and specic regulations with in order to ensure personal safety.
ALWAYS DISENGAGE PTO, SWITCH OFF THE TRACTOR ENGINE AND ENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE
BEFORE MAKING ADJUSTMENT TO THE MACHINE.

www.major-equipment.com
4
NEVER PLACE LIMBS UNDER THE MACHINE WHILE ROTOR(S) ARE TURNING. ROTOR(S) CAN
REMAIN TURNING FOR UP TO 1 MINUTE AFTER DISENGAGING PTO.
Workstation
The operator must remain seated while working the machine. If the machine is a winged unit and the wings need to
be raised/lowered the operator must not leave the tractor. Always ensure the PTO has been turned off and the parking
brake applied before leaving the tractor cab or carrying out maintenance.
NEVER OPERATE THE HYDRAULICS WITH THE TRACTOR SWITCHED OFF
Regulations for use of the transmission
The transmission to the gearboxes is protected throughout the machine by both PTO shafts and bolt down covers. All
guarding should be kept efcient and in good condition. If the condition is poor, the guarding should be renewed before
the implement is used.
UNLESS IT IS CORRECTLY PROTECTED THE TRANSMISSION COULD CAUSE DEATH SINCE IT CAN
CATCH ON PARTS OF THE BODY OR CLOTHING
Ensure retaining chains are correctly anchored on all PTO shafts, preventing them from turning. Ensure drive line can
turn easily within the shield. Keep spline grooves clean and greased so that PTO shaft can connect easily. Besides
being described in this booklet, the method by which the PTO shaft is connected to the tractor must be checked out with
the instructions in the tractor manufacturer’s manual.
PTO Shaft Safety
Maximum PTO input is specied in the Product Specications section of this booklet. Contact your nearest dealer or
a specialised retail outlet if the PTO must be replaced with a longer one, since this must belong to the same power
category and possess the same characteristics. An unsuitable PTO could easily break.
The tractor PTO shaft length may be altered to suit the individual tractor model. When the machine is in operation, the
PTO shaft should have a minimum 1/3 engagement as shown in the diagrams. After the machine has been hitched to
the tractor, it should be checked in various positions that the drive line is the correct length. If the PTO is too short and
tends to slip out of place, it must be replaced with a longer one.
If the PTO shaft is too long, it should be shortened in the following way:
• Set the machine at a minimum distance from the tractor, then brake the tractor and switch off the engine.
• Separate the two halves of the PTO. Insert the female part into the tractor PTO and the male part into the machine
PTO, checking that the position is correct by means of the xing pins.
• Line up the two halves of the PTO together, keeping them parallel.
• Using a felt tip pen, match mark the place where the two halves must be shortened as shown.
• First cut shield “1” and use part “2” as a reference to cut the splined shaft.
• Proceed in the same way for the second half.
• Trim and chamfer the two cut ends of the PTO and clean off all swarf and shavings.
• Grease the two proles and join the two halves of the PTO together.
• Mount the PTO shaft and check that its length is correct as before.

www.major-equipment.com 5
Driving Safely on Public Roads
Check the local Highway Code regulations before driving the tractor on public highways with an implement attached.
Check the reectors, hazard ashers and/or projecting load indicators are installed when required and efcient. These
indicators must be installed correctly and easily seen by the drivers of other vehicles.
Bystanders must not be allowed to lean against or climb onto the machine during transport or while working. Do not
allow bystanders to ride on the machine.
Maximum transport speed of the implement is limited to 25-30km/h depending on the model of the machine
(observe safety labels on the machine).
Trailed Machines only (if applicable)
The shaft must not reach the end of the tube or
project from this. Ensure the PTO does not bottom
when turning

www.major-equipment.com
6
Inspections before Use
Always disengage PTO, Switch off tractor engine and engage the parking brake before making adjustments
to the machine.
1. With the whole machine as level as possible, check the oil level in all gearboxes. Top up if required through the oil
ller plug. The correct level is at the oil level plug.
2. Grease all lubrication points as outlined in the Maintenance section of this booklet.
3. Check parts for wear.
4. Check the blade mounting bolts are tight.
5. Ensure the gearbox shaft nuts are tight and retained in place by split pin.
6. Check tightness of all nuts, bolts and pins.
7. Ensure safety guards and aps are in place at all times where tted. If these become worn or missing, replace
them immediately with new ones.
8. Due to the corrosive nature of grass when cut, wash down the machine when nished mowing, especially when
the machine is being stored for a long period of time.
Starting Regulations
Always check that any imminently dangerous conditions have been eliminated before using the machine.
Ensure all guarding is present & the operator is fully aware of the operations of the machine.
Always ensure the pins lock the PTO shaft yoke ends onto the spline shafts on both the tractor and the
implement. An unlocked shaft could slip out of position, causing notable mechanical damage and serious
injury to both operator and bystanders.
General safety instructions
Precautions to be taken while working with the machine:
1. Do not operate the machine when you are tired or under the inuence of alcohol or any other intoxicant;
2. Before starting mowing, make sure that the area is clear of people or animals.
3. Before starting adjusting the machine, it is mandatory to disconnect the PTO, to turn off the engine of the tractor, apply
handbrake and wait for the turning parts to become still and placed on the ground.
4. It is mandatory to read all the safety requirements and the operator’s manual of the machine.
5. If you are not sure how to use the machine, please contact the manufacturer or the dealer.

Operating the Machine
Attaching machine to the Tractor
ALWAYS OPERATE ON LEVEL GROUND WHEN HITCHING/UNHITCHING THE IMPLEMENT. THIS WILL
PREVENT DANGEROUS MOVEMENT. NEVER ALLOW ANYONE TO STAND BETWEEN THE
TRACTOR AND THE MACHINE.
Three Point Linkage Models
1. Adjust both lift arms of the tractor until they are level in relation to each other.
2. Hitch the lower linkage arms to the Machine and connect the top link and PTO shaft. Ensure that the locking pins
are secure.
3. With the Machine lowered in its operating position, adjust the top link until the strap is slack, allowing the Machine
to produce a uniform nish in varying ground conditions.
4. Check the PTO shaft for length as described previously. Connect the PTO shaft. Ensure PTO check chains are
anchored to prevent PTO guarding from rotating.
5. Connect the hydraulic hoses to the appropriate connections (selected models only).
Trailed Models
1. Adjust the tractor hitch pin so that the hitch pin is approximately 400 mm (16”) from the end of the tractor PTO
shaft.
2. Adjust the machine hitch eye to suit the tractor drawbar height paying particular attention to keep both height
adjusting bolts as far as possible on the adjusting bracket. Careful adjustment of the hitch eye height at this stage
is necessary in order to allow the machine to function safely and correctly.
3. Connect the machine to the tractor. Ensure no one is standing between the tractor and the Machine.
4. Check the PTO shaft for length as described previously. Connect the PTO shaft. Ensure PTO check chains are
anchored to prevent PTO guarding from rotating.
5. Connect the hydraulic hoses to the appropriate connections (selected models only).

Top Link Position
Transport Position
Before raising the machine wait until the transmission and the blades are completely still.
During the transport of the machine it is recommended that the PTO shaft is disconnected.
1. Check machine is hitched to the tractor as described. Ensure the tractor parking brake is applied
2. Ensure moving parts become still then transform the machine into transport position by hydraulic control
3. During the transport and any time the machine shall be raised, the raising device shall be adjusted to assure that the
machine is at least 250mm over the ground.
Transport Position (Winged models only)
The transport locking bars, transport pin and axle ram stopper should always be slotted into place while
transporting the machine. Doing this removes pressure from the hydraulic system. Failure to use the safety
equipment can cause mechanical as well as physical damage.
Transport Speed of Trailed models should not exceed 25 km/h.

Operating the Machine/Mowing
Never place limbs under the machine while rotors are turning. Rotors can remain turning for up to 1 minute
after disengaging PTO.
While operating this machine the PTO input rate should not exceed the RPM stated in the Product
Specications section of this booklet. Always operate on level ground when connecting/disconnecting the
implement. This will prevent dangerous movement.
Never allow anyone to stand between the tractor and the machine. Ensure the machine is attached correctly
to the tractor as previously described. Always start up the tractor PTO at a low RPM. Build up to operating
speed, select a suitable forward gear & proceed to cut grass.
1. Hitch the machine as outlined in the previous section. Ensure bystanders are clear from the machine & cannot be
hit with debris expelled from the machine.
2. Locate the Parking Jack on its side under the PTO shaft on the stub provided (Trailed models only)
3. Ensure the PTO stand is ipped down. (Trailed models only)
4. Check PTO shaft is fully engaged on tractor PTO splines.
5. Raise the machine by hydraulic control. (Trailed models only)
6. Flip back axle and drawbar ram stoppers. (Trailed models only)
7. Lower the machine by hydraulic control to the ground or use tractor linkage controls.
8. After clearing the vicinity of bystanders, relocate the Wing Transport Locking Bars. Lower the wings by hydraulic
control. Ensure hydraulic ram is fully closed. (Winged mowers only).
9. Start up the tractor PTO at a low RPM.
10. Build up to operating speed, select a suitable forward gear & proceed to cut grass.
Top Link position (otation restrictor)
To set the top links into mowing position lower the wings on level
ground. Adjust the top link so the pin (1) is located in the middle of
the slot (2). Lock the position by tightening the lock nut (3).
Top links limit the wing lift and prevent damage to wing PTO shafts
and gearboxes.

Roller and Castor wheels adjustment
In order to achieve desired cutting height, castor wheels and roller should be adjusted.
Castor wheels (optional)
To adjust the height of front wheels lift up the
machine and:
1. Unscrew and remove Bolt A;
2. Slide down the Castor Yoke B and remove it;
3. Depending on the desired cutting height place
Spacers Cabove or below Castor Arm D.
4. When adjustment is complete, relocate Castor
Yoke Band secure it with Bolt A.
5. Repeat this procedure for the other wheel.
Roller
To adjust the height of the roller follow this procedure at both
sides of the roller:
1. Loosen Bolts Band C(Note: You do not have to remove
the bolt, half of the turn will sufce to allow movement);
2. Turn Nut Dclockwise to increase the cut height or anti-
clockwise to decrease the cut height;
3. Match the height of the roller on both sides of the machine
by checking the position of Arrow A;
4. When adjustment is complete, re-tighten Bolts B and C.
Scraper bar
In order for a scraper bar to function properly, it should
be kept tensioned. To tension the scraper bar (1)
tighten up nuts (2) at both ends of the roller (3). Locate
the scraper bar bracket (4) in a desired position by
loosening/tightening bracket nut (5).
