DANGER
!
To prevent serious injury or death:
A crushing hazard exists while hooking-up and unhooking the
implement. Keep people and animals away while backing-up
to the implement or pulling away from the implement. Do not
operate hydraulic controls while a person or animal is directly
behind the power machine or near the implement.
WARNING
!
To prevent serious injury or death:
•
Read and comply fully with the safety instructions given in
this manual.
•
Lightweight tractors with rear attached implements may
need weights added to the front to maintain steering control.
Consult your tractor Operator’s Manual to determine
proper weight requirements and maximum weight
Refer to Figure 1-12:
The flail mower models described herein are equipped
with a three-point linkage for hitching the implement to
the rear of a tractor’s three point hitch.
The implement is equipped with hydraulic systems for
lateral adjustment (A) and for adjusting the incline angle
of the implement relative to the three-point linkage (B).
The upper center 3-point link (C) is slotted to allow the
implement to float over uneven ground.
1. On receipt of the implement, check that the category
and characteristics of the tractor to which it is to be
coupled are correct to ensure that the implement will
function correctly and will be safe to operate.
2. The length of the driveline included with the machine
is suitable for the machine-tractor combination
specified by the customer when ordering the
machine itself.
3. With the implement itself resting securely on a level,
flat surface, align tractor up with the implement.
