34 Instruction manual – MU-C/S
Be cautious of any debris in the work area that could become entangled in the mulcher such as
glass, metal, wood, stones and other objects.
These objects could cause personal injury or damage the machine if they are driven over, crushed
or shattered.
Take special care of objects such as large stones, kerbstones, tree stumps, plastic sacks and debris
which could lie on the ground and cause an obstruction.
These objects could block the rotor, damage the mulcher or create a dangerous situation.
The MU-C/S series with fixed side mounting has no breakaway system
. You must take great care
when you drive or operate this machine and be aware of obstacles.
Please take special care when working on slopes or on uneven ground
as this will increase the risk!
Always work slowly and carefully with the Mulcher, and work on the uphill side of the tractor so that
the risk of the tractor tipping over is reduced.
On steep hills never work across the slope but always up and down. Don’t work on extreme slopes
– you risk having a serious accident.
The mulcher’s safety devices will not function at extreme angles or on very uneven land – the
chances of injury or damage are increased, so that use of the mulcher is prohibited in such
circumstances.
Please note that using the mulcher at its lowest setting increases energy requirements and also
increases wear on the cutting flails and drive belt as well as on the mulcher as a whole. Please use
the settings recommended below:
Note: The cutting height must always be greater than 2.5cm (ideally 4 -6 cm) and the
mulcher must not come into contact with the ground or you will risk damaging
it, which will constitute improper use and invalidate your guarantee.
To keep the machine in good order, please adhere to all lubrication schedules and inspect the drive
belts and oil levels regularly (see Maintenance - Lubrication Schedule).
Using the mulcher can cause very high temperatures because of the intense power transmission
and the high demands placed on machine, gearbox and extension shaft
.
This rise in temperature is normal and should not induce any sense of alarm, provided that the
tractor performance matches the type of machine and you never exceed the maximum permissible
tractor power.
If there are any faults or problems associated with the mower please refer to Chapter 10 of this
Instruction Manual.
At the end of a working session, return the mulcher to the transport position and ensure that the
transport locks are actuated or fitted before returning or putting the mulcher back into storage.
Note: Please note the safety instructions, details of risks and accident prevention
regulations on pages 16 -26!
