FLAIL MOWER ADJUSTMENT
Before operating the machine, the following areas should
be checked off:
1.Before starting up the machine, check and Lubricate all
grease points, all lubricated parts inside the machine.
2.Use only an agricultural tractor of horsepower within
limits of the machine specified.
3.Check that the machine is properly attached to the
tractor. Be sure retainers are used on the mounting pins.
4.Be sure extra weights are mounted on the front of the
tractor.
5. Check the oil level in the gearbox. Add as required.
6.Check that the tractor PTO shaft turns freely and that
the machine driving shaft can telescope easily.
7.Check the blades. Be sure they are not damaged or
broken and swing freely in their mount. Repair or replace
as required.
8.Check and tighten the blade bolts.
9.Check for entangled material in all rotating parts.
Remove this material.
10. Install and secure all guards, doors and covers before
starting.
11. Before installing the universal joint, the tractor and
the machine motor shall be stopped and the key be taken
away. The universal joints shall be installed in good state,
with proper protective parts.
12.The chain on the protective parts of the universal joint
must be in good condition to prevent automatic rotation.
13.All other persons shall leave the ground before
connecting the driving power from the tractor. Keep the
output of the tractor at 540 RPM.
14.Before cleaning, repairing and lubricating the machine,
stop the motor and take away the key with you.
15.When the universal joint is not connected with the
tractor, they must be connected again through the frame
to protect the joint from damaging.
16.Don't approach the machine when the machine runs.
To get the most out of your flail mower, it should be set
within the recommended height.To save fuel and power
and reduce wear and tear, the cutting height must be
regulated correctly.When adjusting the working height,
loosen screw (1), remove screw (2) on both sides; The
roller height (see following drawing) can be adjusted by
alligning the selected hole in the roller support bracket at
position 2. The lowest hole is the highest working height;
put the screw (2) into the selected hole; tighten screw
(1) and screw (2).
1. On a flat piece of ground, attach the Flail Mower to the
Tractor using the three point linkage
2. Use a solid adjustable top link
3. Lower the three point linkage to its lowest position
4. With the roller at the rear in contact with the ground,
adjust the length of the top link so that the lower edge at
the side of the flail mower is parallel with the ground
5. Rotate the blade drum by hand so that a row of blades
hang vertically towards the ground.
6. Measure the clearance between the bottom of the
extended blades and the ground.
Minimum 50mm
Note in rough or lumpy paddocks the clearance needs to
be increased to ensure that the blades dont impact the
ground in operation.
Be familiar with the machine before start-
ing. Read this manual carefully to learn
how to operate the machine safely and
how to set it to provide maximum field
efficiency.
Only use universal joint conforming to CE
standard and protect them properly.

STARTING UP
7. Adjust the roller height to increase or decrease the
blade clearance as required
8. Go through steps 4 to 7 until the required clearance is
achieved.When the Flail Mower has been set up with the
required tolerances:Operate the Flail Mower with tractor
in low range and the PTO delivering 540 RPM
The machine coupling is equipped with 3 pins so that the
machine can be coupled with all tractors with universal
coupling with 3 pins. Each telescopic pole on the machine
can be adjusted properly according to the type of the
tractor. Keep the Flail mower away the tractor with a
certain distance. The universal joint must not be extend-
ed to its limit and the largest distance in the closed state
shall be 1/2 in.
Moving the lifting arm, and putting it between axes, insert
the joint pins and fix them with pins. Fix the lifting arm
with chain and tensioning device so as to prevent lateral
movement of the machine. Connect the universal joint to
the PTO shaft of the tractor on the side of the tractor. In
any event, it cannot produce a collision in any position.
While connecting 3 points, pay attention to that the PTO
shaft of the tractor shall be parallel with the ground. It is
very important to keep the machine driving axle and the
PTO shaft of the tractor in parallel.
The machine shall be lifted from the ground before moving
the machine.
1. Adjust the drive belt tension. The correct belt tension is
achieved when the belt can be deflected by the belt thick-
ness about 10mm at the center point between the
pulleys.
2. Align the gearbox so the drive shaft is parallel with the
body.
3. Use a straight edge to make sure the belt pullies are in
line and running true. If misaligned,call your dealer or
service agent for technical support.
Before starting the machine, control and adjust the
following items:
• Tension of trapezoidal driving belt.
• Oil level of gear.
• Point of lubrication
• All bolts, nuts and screws.
Remove the driving belt cover.
The machine shall always stand still for
regulating the tension.
When transferring the moving state of the
machine to the working state, do not stand
between the machine and the tractor.
