Mower with mechanical drive
For attachment and removal: Always switch off the tractor engine and remove
the ignition key.
Only use the provided material.
Comply with the instructions in the operating manual (assembly instructions)
provided by the manufacturer of the universal joint shaft. The universal joint
shaft must be matched to the respective carrier vehicle.
Depending on the carrier vehicle, the provided universal joint shaft may be
too long. Execute the steps described in the original manual of the manufac-
turer of the universal joint shaft, for shortening and mounting the universal
joint shaft. If the manual has been lost or is no longer present for some other
reason, contact matev GmbH.
The mower must be matched to the speed of the carrier vehicle's PTO shaft.
