Operation 

 

Engage the PTO only when the tractor engine is at low revs to prevent shock damage 
to the machine.  Slowly increase the engine revs to achieve the standard 540rpm PTO 
speed.  

If at any time serious vibration occurs, stop the engine

 

immediately and check 

that no blades are missing

 - following all safety precautions.  The cause must be found 

and rectified immediately or other components may be affected.

 

 

When in work, lower the machine to the ground carrying all its weight on the 
skids/wheel, allowing the machine to follow the contours of the ground and ensuring 
there is sufficient slack in the wire ropes.  Select a sensible forward speed bearing in 
mind the density of growth, the terrain, and the available horsepower, taking extra care 
when turning, particularly on slopes. 
 
When turning, it is not necessary to lift the machine off the ground but instead allow 
sufficient room to turn in a large radius.  The machine only needs to be raised when 
turning in a tight corner or reversing over dense undergrowth or when operating on the 
front linkage. 
 
The machine is fitted with, as standard, 3 high lift blades complete with fin, to aid 
spreading/mulching.

 

 

Transportation

 

 

Please observe Public Highway Regulations concerning the towing of implements, and 
securely attach a registration and lighting board. Take care to slow when travelling over 
rough ground and avoid bouncing machine on linkage causing unnecessary strain.
