shaft square with the side of the fl ail mower. This is very important as it
lengthens the life span of the belts and reduces uneven wear. Once this has

Stone Guards
The front stone guards are very important for
the protection of the tractor driver. Under no
circumstances should the machine be used without
the front stone guards. If the guards are bent, worn
or broken they should be immediately replaced,
failure to do so can result in severe injury and in
certain cases can cause death.
The picture shows the comparison between a used
worn and bent stone guard (top) and a new guard
(bottom).
If the machine is properly set up, set at the correct
height and the top tractor link is adjusted accordingly
then the stone guards should be able to hang freely
and not dig into the ground.
ALL MAINTENANCE MUST BE CARRIED OUT WITH THE TRACTOR
OFF, P.T.O DISENGAGED AND THE MACHINE PROPERLY
SUPPORTED. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY
