2.2.5 Safety and Health Measures when using Hydraulic Fluid
WARNINGS FOR HYDRAULIC-DRIVEN SYSTEMS
• Hydraulic fluid is hot when the machine has just come to a stop.
Allow the implement to cool down entirely before repairing the hydraulic system.
• Avoid contact with high-pressure fluid at all times. Liquid under high pressure quickly
penetrates clothing or skin, resulting in serious injuries.
• Prevent oil leakage or spillage to avoid the risk of slipping.
• Replace rubber and plastic hoses after six years with equivalent hoses.
• Changing the hydraulic system or using it for another purpose is forbidden.
Non-observance of the regulations, as mentioned above, is considered gross negligence. In this case, the supplier
is not liable for any damage.
Anyone working on installations where hydraulic fluid, lubricating oil, grease, or preservatives are used must
observe the following rules:
n Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic systems.
n Do not remove the protection sleeves from the hydraulic hoses.

EMCP Assembly & Operating Instructions - Page 8 of 36 - Version 1.0
n Avoid prolonged contact with the liquid on the skin. In the event of contact, carefully cleanse the skin. Wear
clothing that is free of this liquid. Also, be careful when eating and drinking during the operation.
n Avoid skin contact with liquids over 60°C or hot machine parts.
n Avoid eye contact; if this happens, cleanse with plenty of water and contact a doctor.
n Liquid storage must follow official guidelines; pay attention to fire extinguishers and emergency exits.
n Permanently remove spilled liquids immediately to prevent them from slipping.
n Hydraulic liquids should not get into the ground or in surface water.
n Avoid high-pressure fluids hazards. Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing severe
injury.
n Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines. The hydraulic systems operate
under extremely high pressure.
n Never try to stop leaks from the system by hand.
n Do not attempt makeshift repairs to the hydraulic lines, fittings, or hoses using tapes, clamps, or types of
cement. Such maintenance will fail suddenly and create a hazardous condition.
n Use paper or cardboard, not body parts, to check for suspected leaks.
n Have used liquids removed and recycled by specialized companies.
n If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Always treat any fluid injected into the skin within a few
hours.

3.5 PTO Shaft Assembly

EMCP Assembly & Operating Instructions - Page 16 of 36 - Version 1.0
1. Park the tractor on a level surface. Slowly adjust the tractor’s three-point hitch until the tractor’s output
shaft is level with the implement’s input shaft.
2. Place the gear selector in the park mode, set the parking brake, shut the tractor off, and remove the
switch key.
3. Block the implement to prevent it from going downward.
4. Slide the PTO shaft's inner yoke (implement end) onto the input shaft.
Secure the PTO shaft with the yoke locking device.
5. Slide the PTO shaft's outer yoke (tractor end) over the output shaft.
Secure the PTO shaft with the yoke locking device.
6. Move the PTO shaft back and forth to ensure both ends are secured (to the tractor and the implement).
7. Your PTO shaft comes with a chain on the shield. Secure the chain to the tractor and the implement. This
will prevent the protection from spinning during operation.
3.5.1 Checking the PTO Shaft’s Safe Extended Length
Make sure the PTO shaft’s collapsible length is acceptable. When fully extended, the PTO shaft's maximum
allowable length must have a minimum overlap of the two driveline sides by not less than 1/3 the free length,
with both inner and outer drivelines being of equal length.
1. Apply multi-purpose grease to the ‘outer shaft’ inside and reassemble the PTO shaft.
2. Assemble the two shaft parts with 1/3 overlapping inner and outer drivelines. Once assembled, measure
and record the maximum allowable length shown below for future reference.
3. Attach the inner driveshaft yoke to the implement’s input shaft. Attach the outer driveshaft yoke to the
tractor’s output shaft.
4. Move the yoke ends of the driveshaft back and forth to ensure they are secured to the tractor and
implement shafts. Re-attach any loose ends.
5. Raise and lower the implement to find the maximum extended PTO shaft length. Check to ensure that the
PTO shaft’s overall length does not exceed the full recorded size in step 2.
6. Set the tractor’s 3-Point lift height if needed to keep the PTO shaft from exceeding the maximum
allowable length.

EMCP Assembly & Operating Instructions - Page 17 of 36 - Version 1.0
3.5.2 Checking the PTO Shaft’s Interference
7. Slowly engage the tractor’s 3-Point hitch to lower the implement while checking for sufficient drawbar
clearance. Move the drawbar ahead, aside, or remove it if required.
8. Set the tractor’s 3-Point hitch lift height to keep the PTO shaft from exceeding the maximum allowable
length and 15° up or down.
3.6 Hinged rear gate
The hinged rear gate allows easier cleaning, flail replacement, and general maintenance.
The closed gate provides additional mulching, and the open gate allows for a more straightforward disposal of
the mowed material.
Open the Rear Gate
n At both sides, remove the locking bolts and
nuts (1).
n Manually open the rear gate.
n Fix the open condition using the removed
bolts and nuts in mounting holes (2).
The rear gate now remains open.

4 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
n The tractor’s hydraulic system supplies the mower swing and overturning movement system.
Refer to your tractor manual for Hydraulic system instructions. You should know to quickly stop the tractor
and mower movements in an emergency.
Hydraulic Check Valve
With this check valve, you can control the oil flow pressure in one direction in a
hydraulic line.
It allows the operator to control the movement speed of the hydraulic cylinders.
n Turn the knob clockwise to decrease the oil flow/speed.
n Turn the knob anti-clockwise to increase the oil flow/speed.
After operating for 1 hour:
1. Torque all fasteners.
2. Check the condition of all hydraulic components.
3. Lubricate all grease nipples.
After operating for 10 hours:
Repeat steps 1 through 3 listed above. Go to the regular servicing and Maintenance schedule defined in the

5 OPERATION
WARNINGS!
• Assemble the PTO shaft at an angle of no more than 15 degrees up or down (or
sideways).
• Do not allow the tractor engine or Flail mower to bog down or stall. This causes undue
wear and tear on the mower and tractor. If this continues to happen, reduce ground
speed and raise the working depth of the flail mower.
• Always stop the tractor engine before removing objects from the rotor.
• Never travel at a fast ground speed while using the mower; this could damage the
mower.
• Never attempt to turn the tractor or travel in reverse with the PTO engaged and the
mower in the ground.
• Always raise the mower from the ground when backing up or attempting to turn.
Failure to do so may cause damage to the mower.
• This flail embankment mower is designed to run at 540 PTO rpm only.
5.1 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1:
n Ensure you understand all the information described in Chapter Safety and Maintenance before assembling
and operating the EMCP Embankment flail mower.
STEP 2:
n With the EMCP Flail mower positioned on level ground, adjust the tractor lift arms so that the rotor bar
remains parallel when lifted.
STEP 3:
n With the Flail mower attached to the tractor, raise and support the mower with suitable blocks. Check or
adjust the mowing height as described in Paragraph 3.4.
STEP 4:
n Raise the mower and remove the wooden blocks. Place the mower on the ground.
STEP 5:
n With the tractor engine at idle speed and the mower lifted off the ground, engage the PTO and slowly
advance the throttle to 540 PTO rpm.
STEP 6:
n Select a low gear for the tractor and begin to move forward. The tractor's ground speed is controlled by gear
selection only and not by engine speed. As the tractor moves forward, slowly lower the mower down.
STEP 7:
n After each use, clean all debris from the mower and replace any missing or illegible safety decals. Inspect for
any damaged or worn parts and replace them before subsequent use. Store the mower in a dry environment.

6 MAINTENANCE
This manual describes periodic maintenance that the owner can do. However, any care that requires special tools
or technical experience should be left to Victory's authorized service technicians. Check the mower tines
frequently. They must be sharp, free of nicks and cracks, and securely fastened.
GENERAL WARNINGS FOR MAINTENANCE:
• Only qualified service personnel can carry out activities other than operating activities.
• Always perform maintenance on a level and solid surface in a well-lit, clean, and dry
area.
• Do not grease or oil the implement while it is in operation.
• Do not allow debris, grease, or oil to build up on any deck or surface.
• Make sure there is plenty of ventilation. Never operate the engine of the towing
vehicle in a closed building. The exhaust fumes may cause asphyxiation.
• Always prevent an accidental start; it can cause severe injury or death.
• Ensure that electrical outlets and tools are properly grounded.
• Only trained specialists with education and knowledge of the machine and PPE safety
procedures are entitled to maintenance or service work.
• Be sure all moving parts on attachments have come to a complete stop before
attempting maintenance.
