BE-AGLxxxF USER MANUAL 7
SET UP
ATTACHMENT TO THE TRACTOR
Before operating the mower, carefully read this Operator’s Manual, completely understand the safety
instructions, and know how to operate both the tractor and the PTO shaft correctly, carefully reading the
instruction manuals of the tractor and PTO shaft manufacturers.
All AG flail mowers have been manufactured to be attached to any tractor provided with hydraulic and
universal 3-point hitch.
The tractor used to operate the mower must have the power, capacity, and required equipment to safely
operate the mower. Operating the mower on improperly sized and equipped tractors may cause tractor and/
or mower damage and could be a potential danger to the operator and passers-by.
Before attaching the implement to the tractor, set both on flat, smooth ground and make sure that nobody is
standing between them.
Move the tractor slowly towards the flail mower by aligning the tractor hydraulic lift arms to the two mower
hitches’ lateral brackets; stop engine and set parking brake.
Connect the lower arms first by removing the release pins of the brackets placed on the plates, inserting the
lift arms into the arms center and fastening them with the relevant release pins, which had been removed.
Then connect the tractor top link to the third upper point by removing the pin located between the plates,
inserting the top link itself and locking it with the pin.
It is always good to make sure that the central gearbox axis is parallel to the ground, thus reducing the stress
on the power takeo and extending the working life of the equipment.
DANGER
Pay attention to the tractor’s front wheels grip when the equipment is set up and lifted; if the wheels
appear to be too lightened, ballast the tractor front tires or add front weights.
CAUTION
After executing the above-mentioned activities it is always good to check that all bolts and nuts of your
shredder are tightened (refer to the torque specifications in this manual).
Adjust the third point so that the upper part of the frame is parallel to the ground. Lock all connection parts
with the special sway chains or tie rods.
