Mower
At the front of the machine the flail mower is fitted. It is powered by the Honda motor through
belts.
The mower is mounted to the chassis on arms such that the mower can move up and down
independent of the chassis of the machine. When the mower is in working position, two
supporting arms lock the vertical movement of the mower and prevent it from exceeding 15
degrees. The supporting arms are spring suspended in order to shift some of the mower’s
weight to the chassis. This reduces the friction between the mower and the ground, when the
machine is turned.

Mower in service position
The mower is raised, when flails need to be replaced
or for carrying out service of the mower. To raise the
mower, move the lever forwards and then lift it off
the supporting arms. In the top position a holding
mechanism will lock the arms of the mower in its
service position. To return the mower into its
working position again, raise the mower slightly and
at the same time push the lever forwards. This will
disengage the holding mechanism, and the mower
can be lowered.
The machine is mounted with a safety sensor that prevents the mower from being started, when
it is in service position.
The mower weighs 50 kg. Two persons should
always carry out lifting and lowering the mower.
