6 Instruction manual – MU-C/S
With mulching you can almost always wait until it is dry and the ground is in reasonable
condition. It doesn’t have to be done on one particular day.
8) Length of cut. The shorter the better and the quicker it will rot. The length of cut can be
influenced by the driving speed and number of shredding bars (depending on type). The more
shredding bars you use, the shorter the cut. But with more shredding bars you use more
power and lower the capacity. The slower you drive, the longer the mulch spends in the
housing and the more it is chopped.
Recommendation: Generally speaking, only use one shredding bar. Müthing mulchers are so
constructed that a single shredding bar will produce an adequate quality of mulch. Only use a
second shredding bar (can be fitted later on larger machines) for special circumstances (e.g.
for sensitive grazers such as horses and when you want rotting to take place as quickly as
possible).
Conscientious maintenance.
Too little grease means that the bearings will not be lubricated, will run hot, jam and may
even be destroyed. If you carry on driving the journal bearings will break. Grease often and
protect your machine!
Too much grease will push the entire bearing apart, and dirt will penetrate and eat into the
bearings. Don't use too much grease or too high a pressure when lubricating!
Check oil levels before using the machine for the first time and then check them as
described in the maintenance schedule.
Drive belts are not made of steel. They get longer the first time they are used. It is essential
to retension the drive belts after a short time (no longer than 30 minutes)! Then check the
tension from time to time and retense them if necessary.
Screws settle after being used for the first time. Check nuts and bolts conscientiously!
You will find further information in the following maintenance schedule.
9) Cleaning and servicing the machine after it has been used for the first time enables you you
to carry out a good visual inspection and helps to maintain the value of your Müthing –
mulcher. Use grease to expel any water that has got into the bearings.
Check flails and mountings! Change worn parts immediately instead of waiting until the next
time you use the machine.
10) Damage. If the mulcher is damaged you must stop work immediately. Damage to safety-
related components endangers your life and limb. Damage to rotating parts will get worse
if you carry on driving. Damaged or lost tools (scoop flails or tungsten carbide hammer flails)
cause imbalance, which can destroy the entire machine.
You will find detailed instructions on operating and maintaining equipment under points 7,
8, and 9 of this manual.
