Instruction manual – MU-C/S 27
Attaching equipment to a tractor or other vehicle
Select a suitable tractor of sufficient weight for the mulcher and ensure that the maximum power
allowed is not exceeded. The use of a more powerful tractor can damage the mulcher and such
damage is not covered by the warranty. A tractor that is too light can become unstable or tip
over!
Please attach the mulcher as described, fix it to the proper mounting points on the lower links and
the upper link and then secure it with the locking pin.
The MU-C/S Series is normally fitted with a Category I
mounting.
Note: When using quick-coupling devices for attaching to the lower links always use ball
joints without guides!
Guides or other mounting aids can cause damage to the P.T.O.
Note: When connecting to a three-point mount all three points must match or be adjusted
until they match.
Then, after attaching the lower linkages of the tractor, centre and secure them with the aids
provided on the tractor.
Then gently raise the lower links so that the headstock is precisely vertical and straight. Readjust
with the upper link if necessary.
If the mulcher is inclined too far forward it will cut too low and may clog and dig in. Having the
mulcher inclined backwards will place too much strain on the support roller. In both cases there is a
risk of debris such as stones etc flying out to the front or the rear when you are working,
endangering other people as well as yourself. If the lower link and the upper link are set correctly as
described, the glide shoes on the mulcher housing will be parallel with the ground.
Then put the support leg into the correct working position, lock it and secure it with a locking pin
and anchor.
Note: Please note the safety instructions, details of risks and accident prevention
regulations on pages 16 -26!
