medick, etc on meadows and on stone free fields as well as forming swath out of these. Meadow
being mowed should be even, previously prepared by rolling and other processing. In lifted rotary
mower with swath conditioners, as a result of difference in speed of moving consequent layers of
grass under influence of flails, process of attrition of plant wax layer occurs. It makes grass drying
process simpler and faster by approx. 30 – 40 %.

5.5. Adjustment of conditioner shaft’s position
Correct position of conditioner’s shaft in relation to cutting plates enables proper distribution
of grass swath for further treatment. In order to achieve this pay particular attention to placement of
lift, so constant distance of ∼2 cm is kept between ends of flails and surface of cutting plate. In the
event of dense and abundant grass, the tolerance should be increased up to ∼3 cm, so soil breaker is
prevented from clogging. Adjustment of this distance is performed with use of spacers installed
between mower’s frame and conditioner’s lift (Fig. 18).

(Model Z 010/2)
Support chain (Fig. 25) is used to ensure 3-point linkage frame of the mower is always at
the same height, to set the mowing unit parallel to the ground and to relieve the hydraulic lift of
the tractor. If the cutting unit is not set parallel to the ground, the bearings of sliding saucers will be
subject to premature wear.
When connecting mower to the tractor, the hanger plate “A” of support chain should be
disconnected from chain and put on the pin “B” of top link. Then the mower has to be lifted with
hydraulic lift about 40 cm high (Fig. 20). The support chain is then connected to the hanger plate
“A” so that is tensioned when the mower is in the working position.

6.6. Maintenance and service
6.6.1. Checking the knives and knife holders
All knives should have the same lengths and weights. Always check mower before starting
work for damaged, missing and/or worn blades (knives). Replace blades, if necessary, only in sets.
Make sure all knives in a set are of the same length and weight. The knife holders must not be
damaged or deformed and the knife holder pin, on which the knife is pivoting, shouldn’t be worn
down by more than 50% of its cross-section (Fig. 27). If the knife holder pin is worn too much
and/or the knife holder is worn or deformed on the outside edges, please replace the knife holder
immediately. The riveting of the pin in the knife holder must be checked for safety and quality too.
If the riveting is loose, replace the knife holder.
6.6.2. Checking the V-belts tension
Check the V-belt tension. Their deflection under finger pressure must not exceed 30 mm.
V-belts are tensioned with spring tensioner (Fig. 28) equipped with checking plate (1). Distance
“A” between plate tip and holder should be 0 – 3.0 mm. If the gap is wider the V-belts will be
looser.
When any of the belts are damaged, the complete set must be replaced.

wash the mower with water under pressure after every use, especially between the cutting bard
and discs, because dried mud with grass can cause premature wearing out of the bearings in the
disc assembly or block proper rotation of the assembly,
remove grass and mud,
check all visible units and parts and their connections; tighten all loose bolts and nuts and
replace all damaged and/or worn parts with new genuine ones,
grease PTO shaft tubes with STP grease,
if necessary, lubricate the parts and units according to lubrication instruction.

remove any traces of rust and paint the area affected,
loosen v-belts,
check lubrication of gear trough – Fig. 29,
if leaks occur and the plastic cap of air-escape valve (table 1, pos. 14) is damaged, replacement
of the sealing under gear trough cover and of the valve cup are recommended. If water is
discovered in the oil, it must be changed, otherwise the gears, bearings and shafts could be
damaged. Put the replacement sealing carefully into place and tighten cover screws uniformly.
periodically inspect the mower and lubricate moving parts in order to protect them from
corrosion which effects proper operation of the mower,
check hydraulic hoses regularly. Replace any damaged or old hoses. The period of hydraulic
hose utilization should not exceed 5 years from the date of their manufacture printed on
the hose.
