RECOMMENDATIONS
Your machine is likely to be tted to an agricultural tractor.
NOREMAT would like to draw your attention to the following points :
- Please refer to the relevant authority in your country or state for;
-required certicates of competence to drive and use a tractor/mower combination on
the public highway or other;
-related Health and Safety regulations and requirements.
Road trafc
In France, the driving of a tractor is subject to obtaining a HGV driving licence, except for drivers
working in agricultural or forestry environments such as agricultural contractors. (art. R221-20 from
the trafc rules)
Driving of Machines (directive 98-1084 from 02/12/1998)
The driving of a tractor equipped with a side-arm ail mower is subject to the express written
authorisation of the employer. The driver must attend and satisfactorily pass a training course to
establish his/her knowledge of the machine and competency to operate it. Obtaining the CACES
(certicate of professional competency) ensures that the driver is adequately trained.
The job in hand and the use of your machine, just like the whole tractor will necessitate a period of
acclimatization.
NOREMAT will assist you with information and advice.
It is recommended that you make contact with a NOREMAT technician to establish your informational
and instructional needs in relation to the machine and it’s use.
Furthermore, it is desirable that each user can benet from the experience and expertise of
NOREMAT, your Direct-Constructor.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE USER
The user is responsible to adhere strictly to the safe-use regulations
and safety points which are dened in this manual.
As with the driving of all machines, the user must match his speed
of travel in the transport position or during work, to the condition of
the roadway or terrain.
Before carrying out any operation with your machine, you are advised to read this section carefully.
All modications carried out on the machine are the sole responsibility of the person instigating them.
To use the machine for mowing (rotor turning in the opposite direction to the tractor wheels), it is
imperative that the front hood and aps are tted to avoid the risk of debris being thrown from the
rotor.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
It is essential to follow the instructions in this manual to ensure the
safety of persons operating or in the vicinity of the machine.
1. Contact with oil
At the time of oil changes or when working on any components which
may retain hydraulic pressure, ALWAYS wear adequate safety equipment
Body
Protection
Gloves Face
Visor
-In the event of contact with the skin:
If a high pressure jet of oil is applied to the skin there is a danger of the oil penetrating
the surface. The injured person should be taken to hospital even if no wound is apparent.
Remove all contaminated clothing. Wash the suspected area immediately with plenty of soap
and water.
-In the event of contact with the eyes:
Wash immediately with plenty of water. Hold the eyelids apart for at least 15 minutes.
-Ingestion:
Risk of vomiting and diarrhoea. Do not make the person drink to avoid the risk of inhalation by
the respiratory tracts. Do not drink water.
-Aspiration:
If there is a suspicion that the person may have inhaled oil into the lungs (when vomiting for
instance), take them to hospital immediately.
In all cases seek immediate medical attention

2. Noise
Take necessary precautions against the risk
of exposure to noise and dust during working
and travelling periods.
Wear Ear
Defenders
3. Vibrations
To improve safety and health conditions of workers, the decree 2005-746 from July 4th, 2005 forces
the employer to evaluate the levels of exposure of its employees to the vibrations transmitted to the
whole body, and to start protection of the driver beyond exposure limit values.
These daily exposure limit values are precised in the article R 231-119 of the Labour regulation.
Noremat carried out trial runs to evaluate the level of vibrations emitted by a tractor /machine unit and
transmitted to the operator’s seat. As an indication, the median value recorded is 0.45m/s2 per eight
hours base period in normal work conditions as recommended by the manufacturer.
4. Heat
According to employment regulations, the employer must take measures to limit to the minimum,
employee’s exposure to noise.
Recommendations concerning employee’s exposure to noise.
Taking into account that the tractor cab noise level may vary;
- If the daily level of exposure to noise reaches or exceeds 80dB(A),
the employer must supply ear defenders to the driver to limit that noise.
- If the daily level of exposure to noise reaches or exceeds 85 dB(A)
the employer has to ensure that ear defenders are worn.
Take necessary precautions against the risks
due to the heat released by the hydraulic
components (hoses, pump, motor, gearbox,
valve block, rotor shaft).

-only use designated slinging points for all slings.
-never lift the machine with slings that are in poor condition or are too weak in lifting capacity.
-check that the means of lifting is satisfactory and suitable to lift the load.
-never stand or walk under the load.
-never attempt to remove the delivery supports (blue pieces) before tting

2. Transport of the machine by lorry
The machine should be secured to the lorry in such a way as to
guarantee absolute safety for nearby persons and equipment.
See Safety Rules on Page 5.
Precautions for carriage when not tted to a tractor or carrying vehicle:
It is essential to lock the arm with the locking kit (blue supports)
supplied with the machine.
Contact NOREMAT who can supply you with the correct locking kit.
For safety reasons, the equipment is delivered in the ‘delivery’ position. In this position, machine
movements are locked by supports that serve both for lifting the machine and for anchoring it
to the lorry.
These supports are identied by their unusual blue colour.
When it is delivered, the machine is unloaded and placed on the ground on it’s stands at the correct
height to be tted to a standard tractor.
The supports should not be moved until the machine is tted to the tractor and started.
The locking bar may be equipped with a shackle (adapted to the weight it will lift).
Use only the indicated lifting point to lift the machine, necessary lifting capacity at that point is 1000kg
(1250kg with mowing head)
Loading:
- Move the arm to the back
- Place the mowing head in the recommended position.
- Place the rst-, and second arms so that you can install the locking bar.
- Adjust stands and then dismount the machine from the tractor
- Install parts tted for forklift ( kit available as an option)
- Lift the machine by the designated lifting point.
- Turn the stands to 90°, machine can then be loaded.

Unloading :
□ Lift the machine with the help of a suitable gantry crane (fork truck : use only if the necessary kit is
tted to the machine)
□ Move clear of the lorry and t the adjustable stands to the machine.
□ Lower the machine slowly. Before it touches the ground, adjust the stands so that it will remain
level.
□ Place the machine on the ground.
□ Remove the parts tted for adapting it to the fork truck lifting means.
□ Mount the machine on the tractor (stands can be removed, see procedure).
□ Remove locking kit (if necessary by moving lightly the arm).

3. Attachment of the machine to the tractor/CV
See chapter 2, part 9, page 25.
4. First-time operation
As for all work, observe the safety instructions.
It is desirable for a new operator who may already be familiar with the operation of the tractor/cv to
acquire experience in an area which is smooth, at and free of obstacles where he may concentrate
fully on the operation of the machine.
It is essential to stop the rotor before stopping the PTO shaft (no warranty claims will
be considered if this procedure is not strictly adhered to).
PRODIGIA AXIONA
Starting the rotor
Engage the PTO.
Start the engine and set to a speed
approximately 500 rpm below the required
speed for your choice of PTO speed.
 Extend the arm and lower the tool to the
ground in the working position.
Select the direction of rotation and engage
the rotor. Allow a warm up time of several
minutes.
Allow the machine to run at the speed
recommended by your NOREMAT technician
for several minutes. This is very important in
temperatures of less than 5 degrees C.
Increase the engine speed
PROGRESSIVELY to the gure given by
your NOREMAT technician at the time of
installation/test.
No warranty claims will be considered
if this procedure is not strictly adhered to.
Engage the PTO.
 Extend the arm and lower the tool to the
ground in the working position..
Select the direction of rotation to the right
(scrub clearing) to the left (grass cutting), with
idled engine speed.
Allow the machine to run at the speed
recommended by your NOREMAT technician
for several minutes. This is very important in
temperatures of less than 5 degrees C.
Increase the engine speed
PROGRESSIVELY to the gure given by
your NOREMAT technician at the time of
installation/test.
No warranty claims will be considered
if this procedure is not strictly adhered to.
Stopping the rotor
 Decrease engine speed by approximately
500 rpm.
Stop the rotor.
DECREASE the engine speed
PROGRESSIVELY until idle.
Put the rotor lever in the neutral position
(Stopping the rotor).

5. Safety instructions
□ Ensure that the operator knows and understands the operation of the machine and tractor.
The two have to be operated simultaneously what requires practice. If this is not the case, the operator
should choose a piece of at ground without people or obstacles on it to practice.
□ Never work in an explosive or inammable atmosphere.
□ Only work with good lighting, natural or articial.
□ Never work with any safety guards or covers removed.
□ Never start the machine if it is not in good working order and especially if any safety guards or covers are not
in place.
□ When using the machine for mowing. (ie rotor turning in opposite direction to forward travel of tractor wheels)
it is essential that the front hood and aps be tted to prevent the risk of any material being thrown by the
rotor.
□ Never leave the rotor turning if a person could be in the path of any material that could be thrown out by it.
□ Never move the arm if any person could be within the machine’s operating area.
□ Do not stand or walk under the machine.
□ Never insert branches or objects by hand during operation of the rotor.
□ Always make sure that all hydraulic components and ttings are not under pressure before removal.
BEFORE DOING ANY WORK ON THE MACHINE :
- lower the tool to the ground
- stop the rotor.
- stop the PTO.
- stop the tractor / cv’s engine.
- place the gear lever in neutral and apply the parking brake.
- ensure that all hydraulic cylinders, hoses etc are not under pressure.
- to be sure, operate all sections on the main valve block in both directions
with the manual lever provided.
Relieve any pressure in the accumulator before carrying out any maintenance.
To be sure, open the valve situated behind the reservoir in the case of machines not equipped with electric
accumulator command.
For machines equipped with electric command, the procedure is as follows:
- start the engine and engage the PTO.
- switch on the machine.
- lower the tool to the ground.
- switch on the <ACCU> switch on the control panel.
- move the control lever forward as if to lower the rst-arm.
- switch off the <ACCU> switch on the control panel.
ANY OTHER PROCEDURE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE OR SAFE
The oil tank is under 0.3 bar of pressure. Before any work on the machine, please make sure components are
no more under pressure by removing the tank cap, taking care about temperature and pressure.
ATTENTION, the machine uses a hydraulic accumulator which may still be under pressure
Before using your mower/ail-mower it is important to read these safety rules.
