in’ period as we like to call it, we always recommend checking over the machine.
• Check all bolts, nuts and screws are ght on the unit.
• Tighten/check any bolts and nuts securing blades.
• If your machine has belts check the tension and adjust if required.
• Apply grease to grease points if necessary.
• Check gear oil level and top up if needed. Do not overll.
Tractor Pre-Use Checks
Check that the machine is properly aached to the tractor. Ensure that secure pins are used on
the linkage mounng pins.
Be sure to add extra weights to the front of the tractor or add wheel weights if required.
Check that the tractor PTO sha turns freely and that the machines PTO drive sha can extend
easily. Grease the PTO drive sha using the grease points.
The chain on the PTO sha should be checked and in a good condion. The universal joints
installed should be in a good state, with proper protecve parts.
Before installing the PTO sha, the tractor and machine should be stopped and remove the key.
Install and secure all safety guards, doors and covers before starng.
Bystanders should leave the immediate area before connecng the drive from the tractor.
Running/Operang Checks
• Always keep the PTO output from the tractor at 540 RPM when running machinery.

2. INSTALLATION & SET UP
Safety: Ensure tractor and machine is stopped & keys out of ignion before set-up/maintenance.
Safety: Before aaching/detaching machinery ensure the hydraulic li system is in a neutral posion.
Safety: Make sure the PTO drive isn’t connected at any point unl instructed to do so.
You will need:
Your tractor, tractor top link arm (adjustable), linkage pins, PTO sha & some elbow grease!
Aaching The Mower
Start by nding a at piece of ground. Lower the three point linkage on your tractor to its lowest
posion and aach the mower to the tractor using the three point linkage pins and linch pins.
With the rear roller on the mower on the ground, adjust the length of the top link arm so that the skids
at the side of the ail mower are parallel with the ground.
Then by hand rotate the blade rotor by hand so that a row of blades hang vercally towards the
ground to give an idea of the cung height. Check the clearance between the boom of the blades
and the ground, this should be at least 50mm.
The cung height can be set for longer grass by simply raising the hydraulic li arms on your tractor
or/and by adjusng the rear roller and skids on the machine to increase or decrease the blade
clearance as required [see secon on adjusng the cung height].
The working speed of the machine should always be at a walking pace (approx. 2 to 5 mph) depending
on the working condions. Overgrown grass and weeds should be cut at a much slower pace for the
best cut and to avoid any damage to the mower.
Check your PTO sha’s grease points and apply grease if needed. Then aach the PTO drive sha and
ensure the locking pin is secure on both the tractor and mower sides. Aach the chain to a secure point
on the tractor/implement.
Operate the ail mower the with tractor in low range gear and the PTO delivering 540 RPM.
Pre-Mowing Checklist
Before starng the machine, always check and adjust the following:
• Set correct cung height. [Secon 3]
• Oil level of the gearbox. [Secon 4]
• Tension of the drive belt [Secon 5]
• Lubricaon/grease points. [Secon 8]
• Tightness of all bolts, nuts and screws.
• All protecve guards are in place before operang.

3. CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Safety: Ensure tractor and machine is stopped & keys out of ignion before set-up/maintenance.
Note: Clearance of blades to the ground should be at least 50mm and higher on uneven ground.
Geng the cung height right is the key to creang the best cut and nish when mowing. This needs
to be adjusted depending on the lay of the land and also the length of grass and density of weeds.
The cung height can be set for longer grass by simply raising the hydraulic li arms on your tractor
or/and by adjusng the rear roller and skids on the machine.
Roller Adjustment
1. Loosen bolt 1 and remove bolt 2 on both sides of the machine.
2. Adjust roller by aligning the selected hole in the roller support bracket at posion 2 (using
the hole closest to the ground gives the highest working height).
3. Put bolt 2 into the selected hole and re-ghten bolts 1 and bolts 2.
Skid Adjustment
1. Loosen bolts 3 on the skids on the front & back of both sides of the machine.
2. Move the skids up or down to the desired height.
3. Re-ghten bolts 3.

2. Use an oil pump to extract all of the oil/debris.
3. Fill with new gear oil to the level plug 2.
4. Replace plugs 2 and 3.

5. ADJUSTING BELT TENSION
Safety: Ensure tractor and machine is stopped & keys out of ignion before set-up/maintenance.
Correct Belt Tension
The correct belt tension is achieved when the belt can be deected by the belt thickness about
10mm at the centre point between the pulleys.
A generic measure across machines is the belt should be able to twist a quarter turn by hand. Any
more and they are too loose and any less and too ght, you may run the risk of losing drive to the
mower or burning the belts out prematurely.
Always use a straight edge to make sure the belt pulleys are in line and running true. If misaligned,
call your dealer or service engineer for technical support.
Belt Tensioning
1. Remove the belt cover.
2. Loosen the bolts A and B that lock the support sha.
3. Loosen o counter nut C.
4. Loosen bolts D securing the gear box to the mounng plate.
5. Adjust belt tension by adjusng the height of counter nut C.
6. Align the gearbox ensuring the drive sha is parallel with the body and re-ghten nuts D.
7. Tighten bolts A and B.
8. Replace the belt cover.
