EMU IBIS
3. DESIGNATION
Self-collecting flail mower with hopper is used for maintaining and curing of greenery, mowing
road shoulders, squares, small shrubs on uncultivated areas, weeds with moderate congestion and
agricultural works. Depending on flail type the mower shreds branches (with diameter up to approx. 4
cm).
Self-collecting flail mower with container IBIS is intended for works related to maintenance and
curing of municipal greenery, i. e. for mowing parks, squares, pitches, lawns, golf courses, etc.
Depending on flail type the mower shreds branches (with diameter up to approx. 2 cm).Owing to the
application of special knives type XII mower IBIS can be used for scarifying in order to remove old, too
thick turf and enable new grass to grow.
WARNING!
It is forbidden to use the mower for purposes other than those listed in this
instruction. Using the mower for other purposes will be classified as use not
according with the intended use and could exclude the manufacturer from
responsibility from any resulting damages.
The mower should be used, serviced and repaired only by persons familiar with
its characteristics and with safety regulations. Unauthorized modification of the
mower may release the manufacturer from responsibility for any resulting
malfunctions or damages.

3.2. Design and working principle
Design and working principle of flail mower with self-collecting hopper are provided on Fig. 2, Fig.
3, Fig. 4, Fig. 5.
Flail mower with hopper (1) comprises linkage body (9), which is designed to mount the mower
to 3-point linkage (7) at tractor’s rear (Fig. 12). Mowed grass is emptied from the hopper with cylinders
(3) started by tractor's hydraulics. Drive onto flail shaft (12) is transmitted through PTO (8) onto
intersecting axis gear, which is mounted on mower's linkage body (9). Then the drive is transmitted
through belt gear onto flail shaft (12), with mounted flail knives (13) (Fig. 7). Mounting manner of flail
(cutting) knives is performed to provide protection of operating elements against overload and damage.
When operating, if resistance of an obstacle exceeds knife’s centrifugal force, it is then deflected and
obstacle is passed by. Mowing height is adjusted by modifying setting of ground following bar (11)
(Fig. 6) (p. 6.1).

❑Front support wheels (for: EMU 160, EMU 160 S, EMU 160 UP, IBIS 150, IBIS 150 UP)
Front support wheels are used for ground following, the same as ground following bar. Wheel
height can be adjusted within 6 cm range by spacers. As an option, each machine has a pair of front
support wheels (2 pcs.) assigned.
In IBIS mowers support wheels are equipped with locking mechanism disabling their 360°
rotation, and when driving the machine in reverse this might cause wheel locking.
❑Rear support wheels (for: EMU 160 UP)
If mower EMU 160 UP is aggregated with tractor weighing less than 3 tons then the machine
should be equipped additionally with rear support wheels.

EMU IBIS
FLAIL MOWERS WITH HOPPER
OPERATOR’S MANUAL
For mowing rear support wheels should be lifted up as high as possible. When transported or on
headlands the wheels are lowered, so the machine is lifted up to 20 cm height which causes the tractor
to be unloaded and become more stable.
Rear support wheels enable increasing height up to 2.2 m on which hopper with mowed grass is
emptied. If mower is equipped with rear support wheels tractor can be mounted to machine with use of
lower 3-point linkage arms (or with tiller as an option) - when mowing the mower is supported on ground
following bar and when transported then on rear support wheels.
Rear support wheels are self-torsion and it is possible to lock them when driving forward (to be
used when the mower is mounted on the tractor by means of a drawbar).
❑Tiller (for: EMU 160 UP)
Tiller is mounted only when EMU 160 UP mower is equipped with rear support wheels. It
improves servicing and maneuvering of the mower.
Servicing and controlling the mower equipped with tiller and support wheels is quite the same
as in single-axis trailer.
Tiller features hydraulic control of height, so the machine can be lifted up for transport. In the
event of mounting the tiller, the machine is then equipped with longer PTO shaft.
❑Outlet (for: IBIS 150, IBIS 150UP)
The outlet is mounted on the top of container (collecting basket) as an option. It is designed to
direct the output air to the behind of the container back (to reduce dusting).
3.3. Standard equipment and spare parts
Mowers are sold with the following standard equipment:
❑warranty card,
❑operator's manual with catalogue of spare parts and declaration of conformity,
❑flail knives 2 pcs.,
❑PTO shaft,
❑spray paint (150 ml).
Optional equipment (on extra charge):
❑optional flail knife set,
❑optional set of bearings for ground following bar and flail shaft,
❑optional sealing kit for bearings for ground following bar and flail shaft,
❑front support wheels (2 pcs.),
❑rear support wheels (set),
❑tiller.
WARNING!
Optional extra equipment should be ordered separately.

NOTE:
PTO shaft lubrication frequency must be respected as provided in
corresponding manual. Lubricate the marked points every 50 hours. PTO shaft
shall also be lubricated prior to and after period of longer idleness.
PTO shafts of other brands with equivalent technical parameters may be used only on the SaMASZ
permission.
3.3.1. Flail knives applicable in mowers
In order to provide proper operation of mower flails need to be repalced once they are worn.
Corresponding symbol of flail knife can be found in mower's catalogue of parts.
The table below shows knives that can be mounted in mowers EMU and IBIS.
