Introduction

mowers that are easy to operate and maintain, but to ensure trouble-free operation
this manual should be carefully studied.
Safety First
Do not start the machine until you fully understand operation and safety precaution
requirements.
Tractor Requirements
 Spearhead strongly recommends using a 50 - 90HP tractor with CATEGORY
2 rear linkage.
 Minimum tractor weight including ballast must be 2500kg.
 PTO must be independent live drive to enable continuous PTO drive even
when tractor clutch is pressed down.
 Before hitching, ensure position control is selected. Do not attempt to hitch in
draft control.
 Check chains and stabilizers must be in good working order to hold the
machine firmly. Do not operate without checking that chains and stabilizers
are tight.

Spearhead particularly recommend ‘turn buckle’ type check chains.
 Set linkage lift rods to an equal length.
 Double acting spool for hydraulic offset models.
 Clockwise rotating tractor PTO as standard, anti-clockwise available as an
option.
