OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL page 17 Release 2017
OPERATING THE IMPLEMENT
After having completed all safety checks and made sure the mower is parallel to the
ground, proceed as follows::
• Raise the machine off the ground in order to let the knives start moving without
touching ground to avoid damages.
• Maintaining the machine raised, engage the tractor PTO at suggested engine RPM.
• Start moving the tractor forward and then gradually lower the machine
CUTTING TIPS
Proper ground speed for cutting will depend upon the
height, type and density of the grass to be cut. However
we suggest not to exceed 7 Kph (4.3 Mph)
.
Lower ground speed allows tall and dense grass cutting. Taking a partial cut and/or
reversing the direction of travel may also produce a cleaner cut. Remember, sharp knives
produce cleaner cuts and require less power.
Important: Very low cutting heights should be avoided.
Damaging shock loads occur when the knives strike the
ground repeatedly. This can cause damage to the ma-
chine.
During operation, always raise the machine off the
ground before doing a curve to avoid damage to the roller
supports and to the lateral sides where the skids are po-
sitioned.
