Usage Instructions
4.1
Before use
Prior to starting up the flail mulcher, carry out the following operations;
4.1.1.
Check that all the screws and nuts are fastened, especially those that secure the teeth;
4.1.2.
Check that the PTO shaft is inserted correctly between the gearbox and the tractor PTO and also
check the operation of the hydraulic pump and the distributor.
WARNING!
Before operating the Mulcher, check the efficiency of the power systems and familiarize yourself
with the controls.
During transport and every time the flail mulcher must be lifted with the tractor it is fastened to, the lifting device should
be adjusted so that the machine is lifted from the ground by about 35 cm, see Figure 4.1.
Furthermore, verify that all blocking devices are activated so that the flail mulcher is absolutely safe.
Figure 4.1
The authorisation for road use (valid for one year and renewable) is issued by:
-- the National Road Board of the town in which the journey starts as regards the national
road network;
-- the region as regards the rest of the road network.

Machine settings
A number of adjustments can be made on the flail mulcher to help the operator in the various working conditions that
may arise.
4.2.1
Adjustment of the skids and roller
Adjust the position of the skids so that the Widia teeth do not come out of the plane made by the two skids. In this way,
even if there are irregularities in the ground, the Widia teeth will not penetrate the ground itself. It is important to check
that the flail mulcher is perfectly parallel to the ground in order to obtain perfect operation.
