CHAPTER ⅢOPERATION
CAUTION: Be familiar with the machine before starting. Read
this manual carefully to learn how to operate the
machine safely and how to set it to provide
maximum field efficiency.
3.1 Checking Before Operating
ATTENTION: Only use universal joint conforming to CE
standard and protect them properly.
Before operating the machine, the following areas should be checked off:
1. Before starting up the machine, check and Lubricate all grease points, all lubricated
parts inside the machine.
2. Use only an agricultural tractor of horsepower within limits of the machine specified.
3. Check that the machine is properly attached to the tractor. Be sure retainers are used
on the mounting pins.
4. Be sure extra weights are mounted on the front of the tractor.
5. Check the oil level in the gearbox. Add as required.
6. Check that the tractor PTO shaft turns freely and that the machine driving shaft can
telescope easily.
7. Check the blades. Be sure they are not damaged or broken and swing freely in their
mount. Repair or replace as required.
8. Check and tighten the blade bolts.
9. Check for entangled material in all rotating parts. Remove this material.
10. Install and secure all guards, doors and covers before starting.
11. Before installing the universal joint, the tractor and the machine motor shall be
stopped and the key be taken away. The universal joints shall be installed in good
state, with proper protective parts.
12. The chain on the protective parts of the universal joint shall be guaranteed in good
condition, in case, automatic rotation occurs.
13. All other persons shall leave the ground before connecting the driving power from the

8
tractor. Keep the output of the tractor at 540 RPM.
14. Before cleaning, repairing and lubricating the machine, stop the motor and take away
the key with you.
15. When the universal joint is not connected with the tractor, they must be connected
again through the frame to protect the joint from damaging.
16. Don’t approach the machine when the machine runs.
3.2 Adjusting the Height
In order to conduct a precise work, the machine shall be operated according to the
recommended cutting height.
For saving fuel and power, and reducing the wear of the machine, the cutting height must be
regulated correctly.
When regulating the working height, loosen the screw (1), remove the screws (2) on both
sides; regulate the roller height (see following drawing); fix the parts on the set position. The
lowest hole is the highest working height; put the screws (2) into the set hole; tighten screw
(1) and screws (2).

Working
Position Moving
Position
In order to keep the machine stable, install the supporting frame on the machine when the
machine is stopped (see above drawing).
ATTENTION: When transferring the moving state of the machine
to the working state, do not stand between the
machine and the tractor.
The machine coupling is equipped with 3 pins so that the machine can be coupled with all
tractors with universal coupling with 3 pins. Each telescopic pole on the machine can be
adjusted properly according to the type of the tractor. Keep the Flail mower away the tractor
with a certain distance. The universal joint shall be tense and the largest distance in the
closed state shall be 5/10 cm.
Moving the lifting arm, and putting it between axes, insert the joint pins and fix them with
pins. Fix the lifting arm with chain and tensioning device so as to prevent lateral movement
of the machine. Connect the universal joint to the PTO shaft of the tractor on the side of the
tractor. In any event, it cannot produce a collision in any position. While connecting 3 points,
pay attention to that the PTO shaft of the tractor shall be parallel with the ground. It is very
important to keep the machine driving axle and the PTO shaft of the tractor in parallel.
The machine shall be lifted from the ground before moving the machine.

containers to handle all lubricants. Store them in an area protected from dust, moisture
and other contaminants.
4.1.2 GREASING
zUse a hand-held grease gun for all greasing.
zWipe grease nipple with a clean cloth before greasing, to avoid injecting dirt and grit.
zReplace and repair broken nipple immediately.
zIf nipples will not take grease, remove and clean thoroughly. Also clean lubricant
passageway. Replace nipple if necessary.

12
4.2 Maintenance
ATTENTION: All maintenance, repairing, cleaning and lubricating
shall be conducted when the tractor and motor are
stopped and the key is taken away.
By following a careful service and maintenance program for your machine, you will enjoy
many years of trouble-free operation.
The period recommended is based on normal operating conditions. Severe or unusual
conditions may require more frequent maintenance.
4.2.1 8 HOURS OR DAILY MAINTENANCE
zCheck and screw all nuts and bolts in connection parts.
zCheck the blade and fixing parts every day and replace the damaged parts if they are
found damaged. Don’t install damaged, worn and unbalanced blade. New sleeve shall
be used to replace the worn fixing parts on the blade.
NOTE:
The operator shall put on gloves and use suitable tools before changing blade.
zCheck the oil in gearbox. Fill them up to line if it’s necessary.
zPress butter in each oil nipple three to five times.
zClean the implement; take away all grass and mud.
IMPORTANT: Check the oil level only when the unit is cold and
the machine is on the level.
4.2.2 SEASON MAINTENANCE
zCheck the machine as below beside the terms of daily maintenance.
zCheck the oil in gearbox; replace it if it is bad.
zCheck the bearings of blade spindles whether mud and water have been enter because
oil seals are damaged, if it’s so, disassemble and clean them and replace them if it is
necessary. And then press butter into them.
zCheck the distance between bearings and gears. Adjust them if it’s necessary.
