2. Notes About This Manual.
1. Language:
a. This manual was originally written in New Zealand English, which is very similar to British English.
Translations into other languages are derived from the New Zealand version.
b. Names for parts and machine components have been kept as international as possible but some
terms may be foreign to users in some markets. We apologise for any confusion.
2. Pictures:
a. The pictures in this manual are typical examples of the mower and its parts. Some components may
appear different from those on the mower being used but the pictures should still assist the operator
to carry out the necessary operations.
b. In some cases, guarding has been removed for clarity. Guarding or other parts shown may be
optional in some markets and some items not shown may be standard in other countries.
c. Where a tractor is shown it is used only to enhance the clarity of the instructions. Tractors differ
significantly, and operators should be familiar with the tractor controls and their operation before
attempting to attach or use the mower.
3. Instructions:
a. The instructions given are applicable in most instances. Wherever possible, alternative instructions
are given if differences between models or options significantly affect the procedures.
4. Conventions:
a. The directions left, right, front and rear, are as seen from the driver's seat of the tractor facing in the
normal direction of travel.
b. On multi-spindled rotary mowers (including the Striker, ProCut, Stealth, Snake, Pegasus,
X-WAM, and Topper ranges), Trimax convention is to identify the blade spindles as A, B, C, etc.,
starting from the left-hand side. On machines with more than one mowing deck, the left spindle on
each deck starts with A.
c. On Trimax flail mowers (including the Warlord, Ezeemow and FlailDek ranges), the cutting head is
driven from one end of the mower. The end where the pulleys are enclosed within the belt guard is
called the “drive end”; the other end is known as the “non-drive end”.
5. Tractor Brand Impartiality:
a. Trimax Mowing Systems is a privately-owned group of companies and has always been so.
Trimax operates completely independently from all tractor manufacturers and does not favour any
brand or model over any other. Front mounted mower decks may be tractor specific, but this is
because those tractors are especially suited to a given application or because there has been
customer demand for mowers to fit them.
b. Where tractor brands or models are listed, no favouritism should be assumed based on the order in
which they appear. In many cases the manual pages were written as and when tractors became
available and suitable fitting kits were developed. Similarly, where particular tractor brands or
models do not appear, this may simply mean the mower is not suitable for some engineering reason
or that a mounting kit has yet to be developed.
6. Accuracy:
a. Every effort has been made to ensure the information given in this manual is as accurate as
possible at the time of publication. Trimax Mowing Systems will not be held liable for the
consequences arising from any errors.
