2. INSTALLATION & SET UP
Safety: Ensure tractor and machine is stopped & keys out of ignion before set-up/maintenance.
Safety: Before aaching/detaching machinery ensure the hydraulic li system is in a neutral posion.
Safety: Make sure the PTO drive isn’t connected at any point unl instructed to do so.
Aaching The Mower
On a at area of ground lower the three point linkage on your tractor to its lowest posion and aach
the mower to the tractor using the three point linkage pins and linch pins.
With the skids on the mower on the ground, adjust the length of the top link arm so that the skids at
the side of the ail mower are parallel with the ground.
Then check the blade height underneath the machine to give an idea of the cung height. Check
clearance between the boom of the blades and the ground, this should be at least 50mm.
Cut height should be raised for rough/lumpy paddocks or cung long grass. This can be through raising
the hydraulic li arms on the tractor or adjusng the skids on the machine to increase the blade
clearance.
The working speed of the machine should always be at a walking pace (approx. 2 to 5 mph) depending
on the working condions. Overgrown grass and weeds should be cut at a much slower pace for the
best cut and to avoid any damage to the mower.
Check PTO sha’s grease points and apply grease if needed. Then aach the PTO drive sha and
ensure locking pin is secure on both the tractor and mower sides. Aach the chain to a secure point on
the tractor/implement.
Operate the mower the with tractor in low range gear and the PTO delivering 540 RPM.
Pre-Mowing Checklist
Before starng the machine, always check and adjust the following:
Set correct cung height [Secon 3]. Check blades [Secon 4]. Check oil level in the gearbox [Secon
5]. Lubricate all grease points [Secon 6]. Check ghtness of all bolts, nuts and screws. Ensure all
protecve guards are in place.

V1 6Winton WTM
3. CUTTING HEIGHT & SKID ADJUSTMENT
Safety: Ensure tractor and machine is stopped & keys out of ignion before set-up/maintenance.
Note: Clearance of blades to the ground should be at least 50mm and higher on un-even ground.
Geng the cung height right is the key to geng the best from your mower. The cut height can be
set by simply adjusng the mower deck height with the skids or raising the mower on the linkage.
Cung height should be adjusted for the land and also the length of grass or density of weeds. The
mower should be raised higher from the ground for long/overgrown grass, weeds or small shrubs.
Skid Adjustment
1. Loosen bolts and nuts 1 on the skids on both sides of the machine.
2. Move the skids up or down lining the bolt holes up at the desired height.
3. Re-ghten bolts and nuts 1.

4. BLADE REPLACEMENT
Safety: Ensure tractor and machine is stopped & keys out of ignion before set-up/maintenance.
Safety: Always wear protecve gloves and take care when working with sharp blades.
Always replace worn or blunt blades for opmum cung. Broken or chipped blades should be replaced
immediately to ensure the blades do not become loose and the mower deck is balanced. It is always
best to replace blades in pairs for best results. Ensure all bolts are ghtened before operang.
Ensure moving parts are staonery before starng. To gain access to the blades under the deck the
mower should be lied and supported. Use support stands or blocks to hold the mower in place. Check
stability of the unit when working underneath or leaving the mower at a raised height.
Blade removal
1. Loosen and remove blade bolts and nuts 1.
2. Remove the old blades and replace with new ones.

9. PTO SHAFT RESIZING
Safety: Ensure tractor & machine is stopped & keys out of ignion before carrying out any work. If you
are not condent in carrying out the work consult your local supplier or mechanic.
Most PTO driven implements are supplied with a standard sized PTO sha. As all tractors vary this
oen means cung it down to size. Always replace worn or damaged PTO shas.
Aach the machine to the tractor without the PTO sha, raise the linkage so the PTO sha is level/
horizontal. Measure the length between tractor PTO and the machine’s sha. If the compressed
(closed) PTO sha length exceeds the one measured here then the driveline will need to be cut.
1. PTO length adjustment, rst remove PTO sha shielding.
2. Shorten the driveline tubes to proper equal lengths.
3. Tidy edges of the drive tube with a le and clean all llings from the tubes.
4. Shorten the equally long guard tubes to the same length as the driveline tubes.
5. Grease the internal driveline tube.
6. Fit the guard on the sha.
7. Make sure that the length allows for at least 16cm (6 inches) of overlap.
