3.2. Construction and operation
Pic. 3. General view of rear flail mower KBRP 200 mounted on a pantograph
Pic. 4. General view of the rear flail mower KBRP 200 mounted on a pantograph
The rear flail mower mounted on a pantograph consists of the suspension system 1to which
the pantograph arm 2is connected and which links the cutting unit with the suspension frame.
The miter gear 8, located on the outside of the carrier frame, is connected to the belt drive 4,
forming the carrier body. Installed inside of the carrier body is the flail-cutting shaft 7 and
the coping shaft 6. Power to the cutting shaft 7is transferred from the ATS 4to the miter gear 8 and
then to the belt drive 3. The belt drive transfers power directly to the flail shaft 7. The cutting unit 7
consists of a thick-walled shaft on which the cutting blades are installed. The mounting of
the cutting
blades works as a safeguard which protects the working elements from overloading or damage.
During operation when the resistance force of the obstacle is greater than the centrifugal force of the
blade, the blade tilts backwards and passes over the obstacle.

4.7. Operation and construction of the hydraulic safety
The KBRP mowers have two mechanical types of protection:
- Ballows the cutting unit to be lifted if an obstacle is encountered,
- C allows the cutting unit to tilt back when an obstacle is encountered.
After encountering an obstacle the safety devices B and C cause the cutting unit to rotate on
the S1 and S2 pins which lifts the cutting unit. After passing the obstacle the mower automatically
returns to operating position.
5. OPERATING THE MOWER
5.1. Connecting the mower to the tractor
The KBRP 160 mower should be used with class II tractors with at least 70 HP. The KBRP
200 should be used with class II tractors with at least 80 HP.
The mower should be connected to the tractor using the three point hitch as shown in Pic. 7. It
should be adjusted so that the sliding skid is parallel to the ground. After mounting the mower, its
position should be adjusted on level ground using the upper tie Sand hangers Wof the lower arms
of the tractor. (Pic. 7).
The hangers Wof the lower arms of the tractor should be placed on the pins A(Pic. 7) of
the suspension frame of the mower. Connect the hydraulic hoses to two sections of the tractor.
After connecting the mower to the tractor check the lengthwise balance and steering ability of
the tractor-mower unit. In order to achieve this entire unit must be weighed first, then drive onto
the scale only with the front axle of the tractor (the mower must be in the transport position, lifted
up). If the weight of the front axle of the tractor is at least 20% of the entire weight of the unit then
steering ability has been preserved. If this is not the case the front axle should be additionally
weighed down.

5.2. Preparing the mower for transport
Preparing the rear flail mower mounted on the tractor for transport - movement on roads -
requires the following:
 mount the suspension frame on the lifting arms of the tractor,
 lift the mower on the lifting arms of the tractor using the hydraulic hoist so that the pins of
the uspension frame are at least 50 cm above the ground (Pic. 11),
 using the hydraulic actuator lift the cutting unit into a vertical position and then secure it with
a pin (SPic. 12),
 prevent the cutting unit from lowering by closing the cut-off valve (Pic. 8b) located on
the actuator of the mower,
 Please drive very slowly on very uneven roads otherwise it can result in damage to elements of
the suspension or to the actuator.
WARNING:
During transport the cut-off valve handle should be in position „Z” –
closed (Pic. 8b). This prevents the mower from accidentally
"unfolding" during sudden jolting of the tractor and mower unit which
could, in extreme cases, lead to the breaking of the hydraulic hose and
cause an accident.

5.3. Preparing the mower for transport over public roadways
Road safety and current traffic laws demand that during transport the mower be equipped with
the following items:
 portable light unit consisting of a panel installed in the socket of the upper guard (not included
with the mower). The panel consists of a safety sign with a rear light (positional light, stop light
and direction of travel) as well as a red reflector - oriented to the rear and a white reflector
oriented to the front,
ATTENTION:
If the purchaser of the mower does not own the safety equipment
mentioned above it can be purchased from the mower's manufacturer.
 a sign designating slow moving vehicles (part of standard tractor equipment) should be moved
from the tractor to the receptacle on the cover of the mower's belt drive.
5.4. Connecting the articulated telescopic shaft (PTO)
The cover should be secured so that it does not spin by securing the holding chains to
a permanent part of the body of the tractor and the loop on the guard of the splined shaft of
the mower drive shaft.
ATTENTION:
If necessary, reduce the length of the shaft according to its user's
manual.
WARNING:
Operate machinery only with the articulated telescopic shafts
designated for use with that machinery. Before starting work check if
all the covers (tractor, machinery and shaft) are in place and
functioning. Damage or lost elements must be replaced with original
spares. Check weather the articulated telescopic shaft is properly
installed. Never get close to rotating parts it could result in injury or
death. During servicing of the shaft or the machine the engine and
the power take-off of the tractor must be turned off. Before operating
any machinery carefully read the operating manuals of the shaft and
the machine.
5.5. Changing the mower position from transport into operating position
 open the cut-off valve located on the actuator (Pic. 10a),
 remove the safety pin,
 lower the mower on the lifting arms of the tractor so that the bolts of the suspension frame are
approximately 50 cm above ground (Pic. 11),
 make sure that the space where the mower will be opened is unobstructed and free of people,
 using the lever of the external hydraulic system of the tractor lower the cutting unit so that as it
gets closer to the ground it slows down,

5.6. Preparing the mower for operation
Before starting work please observe the above-mentioned instructions. Upon completion of
these tasks the mower is considered ready for operation and the following can be done:
 gently lower the cutting unit until the coping shaft makes contact with the ground,
 slowly turn on the rear PTO (PTO rmp should be 540) until the flail shaft reaches nominal
speed,
 put the tractor in gear and commence mowing.
5.7. Operation
5.7.1. General information about mowing
a) In an urban setting, to ensure that the mower works without breaking, it is recommended that
a pilot, who will mark all obstacles, should walk in front of the mower.
b) While crossing roads, on pedestrian crossings or other permanent obstacles the mower must
always be raised using the actuator 5 Pic. 3.
c) In real life the user should use so called "common sense". In regards with this during intense
usage the cost of necessary service checks should be taken into account - see Warranty
conditions point 11.
d) After driving onto single bushes with diameters up to about 2 cm. the tractor should be
momentarily stopped until the mower can shred the bush completely and then slowly, in spurts,
move forward so that the cutting unit does not get clogged.
UWAGA:
For thick and high vegetation, stumps etc. use heavier machinery.
