Setting Up The Scythe Cutter Bar
What the Machine is Designed For
The scythe cutter bar is designed for mowing grass and
pastures by cutting stems at the base.
This is achieved by coupling the gearbox or transmission
(power unit) to the cutter bar attachment which consists of
the cutting blades.
Opening the Boxes
The scythe attachment is delivered in two boxes, one
containing the transmission and the other containing the
cutter bar.
These should be moved either with a forklift truck or carried
by at least two people. Open the boxes starting from the lid,
and remove the accessories.
Preliminary Checks
Check that the machine is in good condition and has not
been damaged in transit, then proceed with assembly as
indicated in the following points.
WARNING!
Protective gloves must be worn for all assembly
operations, repair and use (fig.4/1).
Gearbox Assembly

NB: For dry transmission and short oil bath transmissions two
C spacers must be used, for long oil bath transmissions only
one C spacer is required, and for DUPLEX transmissions no
spacers are required.
Fix the rear side of the protection cover A to the transmission,
as shown in fig.4/3 and fig.4/4, according to the type of
