CAUTION
Check the lifting capacity and stability of the tractor making sure the following relations are complied with
(see table below for definitions):
• M x (S1+S2) ≤ 0.2 x T x i + Z x (d+i)
• M ≤ 0.3T
If this not occurs, apply the front ballast required. To determine the appropriate characteristics of
the ballast, refer to the manual of the tractor.

i = Tractor wheelbase (cm)
d = Distance between front axle and ballast center of mass (cm)
T = Weight of tractor + operator (75 kg)
Z = Ballast weight (kg)
M = Implement weight (kg)
s1 = Distance between rear axle and lower hitch points (cm)
s2 = Distance between lower hitch points and implement center of mass = 61 cm
5. OPERATING
Before operate the Flail Mower, make sure you have read and understood the operating manuals of the
Flail Mower, tractor and PTO shaft, and followed what is described in the section “Set Up”.
DANGER
