ROTARY MOWER
Fig. 10
The driveline must operate at the least possible angle. This
will ensure that both the driveline and machine last as long
as possible.
Always disengage the PTO when the driveline operates at
an excessive angle (never more that 10-15 degrees - Fig.
7) and when it is not used.
The length of the driveline must suit the type of tractor used.
When the driveline is fully extended in any operating
condition, the telescopic tubes must overlap for at least 1/
3rd of their length (A Fig. 8).
When fully inserted, the play must be at least 40 mm / 1.57
inches (B Fig. 8).
The driveline must be shortened if this is not possible:
WARNING
Handle all parts with the utmost care. Never place your
hands or fingers between one part and the other. Wear
safety garments such as gloves, protective footwear and
goggles.
This operation must be carried out with the utmost care
as the driveline will have to be replaced if the telescopic
shafts are shortened to an excessive extent.
- remove the two halves of the driveline.
- place the two parts of the driveline side by side and mark
the portion of the shield that must be removed (if the driveline
must be shortened by 40 mm / 1.57 inches, then 40 mm /
1.57 inches must be taken from each of the two telescopic
tubes).
- use the two portions of cut shield as a reference so that
the two telescopic shafts are shortened in an equal way.
- grind the edges of the tubes, eliminate any burrs and
thoroughly grease the telescopic tubes.
WARNING
The driveline shafts and/or their shields must not be
modified in any other way.
Make sure that the driveline is suitable for transmitting the
power required by the machine. Contact an Authorized
Assistance Center if in doubt.
When the driveline is disengaged from the tractors PTO, it
must ALWAYS be placed on its support (4 fig. 1).
WARNING
The driveline must always be connected to the tractors
PTO last and disconnected first, at the end of work.
The Manufacturer declines all liability for damage
caused by an incorrectly fitted or used driveline.
3.3 TRANSPORT ON THE ROADS
WARNING
Proceed in the following way if the machine must be
transported on the roads:
Strictly comply with the Highway Code regulations. If
the width of the machine projects beyond the width of
the tractor, fit on signs to warn of the extra width or use
a bar with rear indicator lights.
As well as complying with the Highway Code Regulations,
remember that great care must also be taken of any special
prescriptions indicated in the tractors log book when driving
on the roads. Choose an appropriate speed, especially with
mounted implements that project to a considerable extent
at the front or rear or when the road is crowded, winding or
steep.
To avoid unbalancing, drive at a moderate speed, especially
on irregular road surfaces or steep slopes.
The behaviour of the tractor on the road, its turning and
braking capacities are influenced by the implements
mounted.
When driving on to a road after work, check to make sure
that the tyres and soil working tools are clean to prevent the
road surface from being dirtied with soil or other material.
3.3.1 TRANSPORT POSITION
Comply with the following procedure to adapt the machine
to the transport position (fig.10) (beginning from the work
position fig. 6):
WARNING
Make sure that there are no bystanders within the range
of action of the bar.
Fig. 6:
- Raise the machine from the ground with the tractors
hydraulic power lift.
- Stop the engine and remove the ignition key. Disengage
the PTO.
