Before operating the mower, carefully read this Operator’s manual, completely understand the safety
instructions, and know how to operate correctly both the tractor and the PTO shaft, reading carefully the
instruction manuals of the tractor and PTO shaft manufacturers.
All AG flail mowers have been manufacturers to be attached to any tractor provided with hydraulic and
universal 3-point hitch.
The tractor used to operate the mower have the power, capacity and required equipment to safely operate
the mower. Operating the mower on improperly sized and equipped tractors may cause tractor and/or mower
damage and could be a potential danger to the operator and passers-by.
Before attaching the equipment to the tractor, set both on a flat, smooth ground and make sure that nobody
is standing between them.
Move slowly the tractor towards the flail mower by aligning the tractor hydraulic lift arms to the two mower
hitches’ lateral brackets; stop engine and set parking brake.
Connect first the lower arms by moving the release pins of the brackets placed on the plates, inserting the lift
arms into the center and fastening them with the relevant release pins, which had been removed.
Connect then the tractor top link to the third upper point by removing the pin located between the plates,
inserting the top link itself and locking it with the pin.
