3. TECHNICAL DATA
Rotary suspended rear drum mower is designed for mowing and forming rows of: common
grass, medick, etc on grasslands and on stone free fields. Grassland being mowed should be even,
previously prepared by rolling and other treatment. In lifted rotary mower with swath conditioners,
as a result of a difference in mowing speed, consequent layers of grass under the flails are subjected
to the process of attrition of plant wax layer. It makes grass drying process simpler and faster by
approx. 30 – 40 %.
WARNING:
Use of the mower for purposes other than described above is forbidden. Improper
use can be dangerous and may lead to voiding of the warranty. Mower should be
operated and repaired only by people familiar with its detailed specifications and
with all applicable safety rules and regulations and with the relative dangers.
Unauthorized modifications to the mower will lead to voiding the warranty .

4.1. General safety rules and regulations
The following descriptions are for your safety: They must therefore be read
carefully and applied every time you use the machine.
 The machine has been designed for use by one single operator.
 When using, servicing, repairing, moving or storing the machine, the operator must wear safety
footwear, safety gloves plus ear protection and dust mask if necessary.
 During use, the machine may give rise to dust, especially if the soil is dry. You are advised to
use a tractor with a cab fitted with filters in the ventilation system. Failing this, wear a dust
mask with filter to protect your respiratory tract
 Front axis of the tractor should be weighted to keep the balance. If need be, use front wheel
weights.
 In order to keep steering conditions, impact on front axis should be at least 20% of the complete
tractor.
 Be extremely careful whenever using hydraulic lift lever or buttons. Any operation with
hydraulic lift lever should be done from operator’s seat; DO NOT move the lever from outside
of a tractor.
 In case of tractors equipped with EHR, operating with hydraulic lift is done by the buttons
mounted outside the tractor’s cabin. When operating be extremely careful.
 When switching from mowing to transport position, remove the entire PTO shaft or at least one
end of the shaft from the tractor’s PTO so it cannot turn.
 When attaching the mower to a tractor, the operator should wear protective gloves.
 DO NOT operate the mower unless all safety guards are in place and operational. In addition,
any damaged protective cover should be replaced with a new one
 Start mowing only when tractor’s PTO reaches its normal 1000 rpm. DO NOT exceed 1050
PTO rpm.
 No person (except operator) should stand within danger area which is a minimum of 170' from
any operating part, especially when operating near roads and in areas with stones and other
debris. Be certain that children and animals are at a safe distance away from the machine.
 IMPORTANT: Maintenance and adjustment should ONLY be done after the following has
occurred:
 tractor’s engine has been stopped and ignition key has been taken out,
 all rotating parts have come to complete standstill (NOTE: cutting knives will rotate

5. OPERATION
WARNING:
Before beginning to use this machine, do the following:
- Read manual, especially safety precautions in section 4.
- Make sure you are familiar with all controls and functions.
- Make sure all safety devices are in place and working. Fix or replace if not
working or damaged.
- Replace protective cover if damaged.
5.1. Attaching the mower to the tractor
WARNING:
- Only hitch and unhitch machine on a flat surface with compact dirt.
- Keep everyone away from area between mower and tractor.
- Be careful near link road zone of tractor's rear power lift. Contains sharp
parts.
The mower is connected to the tractor ’ s 3-point-linkage.
Once the mower is suspended adjust the setting on an even ground with adjustment screw S
(Fig. 12) and hangers Wof the tractor’s lower links. The mower’s drums should be parallel to the
ground (hence this is a condition for a sustained stubble). Hangers Wof the tractor’s lower links
should be placed on pins Aof the mower’s 3-point linkage frame.
After the mower has been attached to tractor, check balance and steerability of tractor-
mower set. To do it, weigh the set and after that drive on the scales with only front axis of the
tractor(the mower must be in transport position – lifted upwards). If the pressure on the front axis is
at least 20 % of the whole set’s pressure, it means the set is stable. If not, front axis should be
balanced.

5.2. Preparing the mower for transport
NOTE
Moving the mower from working position to transport position and vice
versa may only take place on an even and stable ground. Before approaching
any works make sure whether there are no unauthorized persons exposed to
the risk of crushing.
5.2.1. Standard mower design
In order to move the mower to the transport position, do the following:
 attach the mower on tractor’s links,
 position the 3-point linkage with beam along the tractor’s axis (Fig. 13a),
 adjust the mower with top link S (Fig. 12), if needed,
 disconnect the PTO shaft,
 set pawl Z (Fig. 22) in transport position.

5.2.2. Mower design with hydraulic lifting (optional equipment)
In order to put the mower to the transport position, do the following:
 connect the hydraulic hose for lifting the mower to tractor hydraulic unit,
 lift the mower with tractor’s hydraulic lift until the lower lift pins of the mower’s linkage frame
are raised about 1′8″above the ground,
 use the tractor’s hydraulic lever to pressurise the hydraulic cylinder on the mower and lift the
cutting unit of the machine to the vertical position,

Rear transport position
CAUTION:
During transport the shut-off valve of mower hydraulic lift should
always be closed – the valve lever in position Z (Fig. 16). This protects
the mower against accidental falling if hydraulic unit failure occurs.
 to prevent the mower from falling down close the shut-off valve (Fig. 16) on the hydraulic
cylinder (Fig. 15),
 in the side transport position (Fig. 14a) the PTO shaft can remain connected. In the rear
transport position (Fig. 14b) disconnect the PTO shaft.

 warning triangle which can be mounted in holder on top mower guard.
5.4. Mounting PTO shaft
PTO shaft’s end with overrunning clutch should be mounted on mower’s side.
When connecting PTO shaft between tractor and mower make sure that external guard tube of the
shaft is on the tractor’s side. The PTO shaft plastic guards have to be secured by fastening their
small chains to immovable parts of tractor and mower. The PTO shaft must operate at the lowest
possible angle. This will ensure that both shaft and the machine last as long as possible.
