CONNECTION TO THE PTO SHAFT
Before installing the PTO shaft make sure that the RPM rating and the direction of rotation match
those of the tractor. Carefully read the PTO shaft and tractor instructions.
Furthermore, accurately read the instructions of the manufacturer of the PTO shaft and of the
tractor.
Before starting any activity, make sure that the guards are installed on the power take off of the
tractor and PTO shaft. Make sure that they cover the PTO shaft throughout its length.
When fully extended, the plastic pipes must overlap by at
least 1/3 of the length of the pipes (LT). When retracted, the
min. acceptable clearance is 1-2 cm (picture 6).

Check that the PTO shaft min. and max.
length are within the parameters of the
machine-tractor coupling.
Should problems arise, contact your
dealer. After the installation, anchor the
PTO shield to the tractor and machine
using the special chains; make sure that
it turns smoothly. If the PTO shaft is
equipped with safety devices, e.g. torque
limiters or free-wheel devices, install
them on the operative machine side. For
the use and maintenance of the PTO
shaft, please refer to the relevant
manual.

CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The cutting height of the equipment depends on the
position of the wheels.
If the wheels are raised, the cutting height increases;
if the wheels are lowered, the cutting height
decreases.
Make sure that the wheels are set at the same height
on both sides.
To adjust the cutting height on the mowers loosen and
remove pin
A
(picture 3) and adjust the wheels height
according to the bushing
B
. When the adjustment is
completed, reinsert the pin
A
.
