Attach PTO shaft to tractor & machine and secure chains to a fixed point as shown so he
guard cannot spin (see section on PTO shaft fitting for more guidance).

The working speed of the machine should always be at a walking pace (approx. 2 to 5 mph)
depending on the working conditions. Overgrown and tougher areas should be cut at a much slower
pace for the best cut and to avoid any damage to the machine.
Check PTO shaft’s grease points and apply grease if needed. Then attach the PTO drive shaft and
ensure locking pin is secure on both the tractor and mower sides. Attach the chain to a secure point
on the tractor/implement.
This machine should always be used on tractors with cabs or similar guards which protect the tractor
and machinery operator at all times. It is advised not to operate the machine if the tractor does not
have a cab or sufficient protective guards.
Make sure to check that the area is clear of bystanders or any obstructions. You should always place
barriers and signage before operating. Be aware of any cuttings and debris which can be flung out
from the cutting head. A tractor with a cabin should be used when hedge cutting. If the tractor has no
cab make sure to create appropriate safety guards to protect the operator.
The leg stands can be removed before starting work to avoid any entanglement or impact when
moving with the tractor.
Operate the machine with tractor in low range gear and the PTO delivering 540 RPM.
