6.3 Starting
Before starting:
- Check that the number of revolutions and the rotational direction of the power
takeoff of the tractor correspond to those required by the flail hedge mower.
- Check that the cable controls are not entangled, dented or too tight so that the
sensitivity and control response are not compromised.
- Check oil tank and gearbox lubricating levels.
- Check that all guards are in good condition.
- Start the tractor, engage the power takeoff and let the oil circulate for some
minutes before operating any control lever.
- Push the START button to place the electric control circuit under voltage.
N.B. – When the electrical system is under voltage the corresponding light will
illuminate.
- Operate the arm controls using the joystick (see section. 6.4) to ensure perfect
operation and familiarization with the mechanism.
Place the flail head in a safe position, increase the rpm of the tractor and slowly
shift the rotor control electric selector, in the rotational direction required. Afetr a
few seconds, the rotor will have fixed its speed and will therefore be ready to work.
