Instruction manual – MU-C/S 33
Note: Please note the safety instructions, details of risks and accident prevention
regulations on pages 16 -26!
Working with the machine
Never start work with the mulcher unless all protective devices are fitted and fully functional on both
the mulcher and the P.T.O. Check that all movable fastenings are secured by split pins or eyebolts.
Make sure that all front plate guards or chain guards and the rear rubber guard are complete and
fully functional.
Before starting work slowly lower the mulcher from the transport position, carefully place it on the
ground and move it into the working position.
Then check that the machine has the correct settings. (Roller/wheels secured in the middle setting,
three-point linkage completely vertical, machine aligned parallel to the ground, P.T.O speed setting
matching that on mulcher’s gearbox, rear hydraulic device floating freely, swivel cylinder 45 – 90° in
floating position).
Always ensure that the job you intend to carry out with the mulcher is an appropriate one,
and that you comply with all the safety and accident prevention regulations on pages 16 -26
during and after work.
Always engage the drive to the mulcher at low engine speeds, wait for the rotor to turn and slowly
increase speed to operating level. Now you can start the tractor and begin mulching!
Maintain engine speed to enable the machine to work properly and provide a good cut.
For mulching ditches and embankments all mulchers can be raised to an angle between 45° and
90° degrees to the horizontal. This can be achieved by using the appropriate hydraulic control to
bring the machine to the desired position.
Please ensure that the tractor’s handling is not affected during this operation and that the mulcher
works flat against the ground and not up in the air.
When driving ensure that the hydraulic setting allows the three-point linkage to float freely (raise
lower links slightly so that the headstock is absolutely vertical and straight) with the control device
for the 45–90° cylinder floating as the best possible alignment for the machine is achieved by having
the mulcher resting on the support rollers combined with the hydraulic levelling device.
Before disengaging the P.T.O., first reduce the motor speed to prevent damage to either the
mulcher or the P.T.O. itself.
Note: Only work in straight lines. When turning or taking bends always disengage the
mulcher in good time at a low engine speed and raise it slightly . This protects
the support roller and bearings and prevents damage to the mulcher and roots.
Note: The mulcher may only be used in open land where there is sufficient distance
between the mulcher and people, animals, houses, roads etc.
The danger area behind the mulcher is at least 80 m.
The machine should only be used for flailing and mulching light organic material and harvest
residues.
