Operating the Mower
The fields and meadows to be mowed should be free from any obstructions and debris, which may damage the
mower.
The shields of the mower must be positioned downwards during operating of the machine. The mower’s drive
should be turned on slowly and after reaching 540 RPM of the power take-off, the operation may be started. The
speed should be adjusted to the terrain conditions and the type of grass to be mowed. For the time of idle drive, the
drive of the mower should be turned off and then the mower should be lifted upwards.
The mower shouldn’t be used on uneven ground and fields full of stones because of the risk of damaging the blades,
blade holders, and other mower parts, in addition to the damage that may be done from objects being thrown out
from under the deck (stones, broken blades, etc.).
WARNING The operating drums and the blades still rotate for a certain amount of time even after the power take-
off drive is turned off. Prior to making any adjustments on the mower, turn off the drive and the engine of the tractor,
pull out the key from the ignition, and allow for the operating drums and the blades to come to a complete stop.
WARNING: It is prohibited to: Operate the mower in the presence of bystanders within an
area less than 165 ft.
In case the mower hits an obstacle, the fuse allows for the cutting system to tilt. The tractor
then should be halted and the drive should be turned off. The fuse gets back in when the
tractor is moved back a bit. The length of the A fuse’s tighten spring should be 160mm. If it
is too tight, it may block the fuse and damage the mower when it hits an obstacle
.
Securing the mower after driving into an obstacle.
ATTENTION:
Because of the possibility to damage the mower, NEVER:
• exceed the tractor’s PTO 600 RPM
• lift the mower while the drive is engaged and the drums are rotating
• mow while backing up (this will cause machine failure!)
