is resting on the ground or securely blocked up and the tractor lifting hydraulics locked.
Before the start up and before each use, perform the following pre-operation inspections and service of the
implement:
• check that the machine has not damaged functional parts and has all mechanical parts in good condi-
tion. Repair and / or replace the damaged parts;
• check that the machine has no missing parts (pins, safety pins, plugs oil ...). Restore the missing parts;
• check that all guards and safety devices have no damages and are properly positioned. Repair and / or
replace the damaged shieldings, restore the correct position;
• verify that the PTO driveshaft is properly installed (see section: Connection of the drive shaft);
• check that the driveshaft clutch is in good condition, and that its components are not subject to “sti-
cking” (see sections: Maintenance / Driveline);
• check the presence of lubricant in all greasing points of the machines (driveshaft, supports...) (see sec-
tions: Maintenance / Driveline and Maintenance / Support rotor);
• check for oil leaks from the gearbox or the transmission side cover. Identify the reason of loss, then
repair and / or replace the damaged components;
• check the correct oil level in the gearbox and in transmission side box (see section maintenance);
• check that the drive belts are in good condition.
• check that blades are not excessively worn and the relating hardware is correctly tightened (see section
Maintenance);
• check that all the machine hardware is properly tightened. Refer to the tightening table in the manual
for proper torque values;
• check that all safety decals are correctly positioned, in good condition and legible. Replace any dama-
ged decals;
• check that there is no constraints that may prevent the movement of equipment. Remove any con-
straint.
Before the start up and before each use, make the following checks on the operating area identified for
shredding:
• check that area is clear of foreign objects (rocks, branches or debris). Remove any obstacle and visibly
highlight obstacles that cannot be eliminated (e.g. by means flags);
• make sure in the working area exposed there are no people or animals;
• make sure the soil to be worked is not too grassy, muddy, sandy or rocky.
Once all the checks above have been done, start the tractor and the flail mower as follows:
• start the tractor and engage the PTO at low rpm, making sure that the flail mower is NOT in the raised
position but close to the ground, then increase the speed engine until to 540 rpm;
• lower the machine on the ground and simultaneously start driving the tractor at low speed. Subsequen-
tly increase the ground speed depending on ground conditions;
• if the environmental temperature is extremely cold, it’s recommended to wait a few minutes with the
PTO of the tractor at low rate before lowering the flail mower completely on the ground;
• drive for a while operating the flail mower, then stop the tractor to check the quality of the work
perfor- med. If you need to get off the tractor, lift the flail mower just out of the ground, reduce
engine speed and disengage PTO, set the parking brake, stop engine and remove the ignition key.
If the cutting height and/or the quality of the shredding are not as desired, correct them by adjusting the
roller or the wheels (see sections “Adjustments”).
5.2. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
During operations:
• always keep the tractor engine at rpm rate ensuring to the flail mower the right power required for the
