GENERAL SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION INSTRUCTIONS

Read all the directions carefully before using the machine. When in doubt, seek advice from the manufacturers. The manufacturing company declines all responsibility for non-compliance with the following safety and accident-prevention instructions.

1- Pay attention to the danger signs and symbols in this manual and on the machine.

2- Do not touch moving parts.

3- All work on the machine (including adjustments) must always be carried out with

the tractor immobilized and the engine switched off.

4- On no account may persons or animals be carried on the machine.

5- Driving the tractor with the machine connected is absolutely forbidden to persons

lacking suitable experience, or who are in poor health, or who do not have a suitable driving license.

6- All accident-prevention measures recommended in this manual should be

scrupulously observed.

7- Connecting the machine to the tractor creates a different weight distribution on the

axles and so it is essential to ensure that the tractor-machine combination is stable in all anticipated working conditions. It is therefore necessary to have exact instructions from the tractor manufacturers. If such instructions are not available, suitable tests should be conducted in safe conditions in order to assess stability.

8- Once the machine is connected, it can only be controlled through a Cardan shaft

complete with the required overload protection and guard secured with the appropriate small chains. Be aware of the rotational direction of the Cardan shaft.

9- Before operating the tractor and machine, check that all transport and operational

safety devices are complete and working.

10- When driving on public roads, you should comply with the Highway Code

regulations for the country concerned.

11- Do not exceed the tractor axle maximum weight and the total mobile weight. Heed

transport regulations.

12- Before starting work, familiarize yourself with the control devices and how they

work.

13- Wear suitable clothes. Do not wear clothing which is loose or which could

become entangled in rotating or moving parts.

14- Connect the machine to a suitably powerful tractor by using an appropriate lifting

unit and in accordance with instructions.

15- Take maximum care when connecting and disconnecting the machine to and from

the tractor.

16- The machine and any road transport attachments must bear the appropriate signs

and symbols and have suitable protection.

17- Never leave the driving seat when the tractor is running.

18- It is extremely important to appreciate that road holding, steering and braking may

be significantly affected with the machine attached.

19- When turning corners with the machine attached, be aware of the fact that the

centrifugal force will alter due to the change in the center of gravity.

20- Before engaging the power takeoff check the preset revolution speed. Do not

change speed from 540 rpm to 1000 rpm.

21- Under no circumstances should anybody stand near the machine or any moving

parts. It is the duty of the operator to ensure that this requirement is respected.

22- Before leaving the tractor, lower the machine with the lifting unit, stop the engine,

apply the parking brake and remove the ignition key from the instrument panel.

23- Under no circumstances should anybody go between the tractor and the machine

when the engine is running and the Cardan shaft is engaged, especially without first having applied the parking brake and placed chocks against the wheels.

24- Before connecting or disconnecting the machine to or from the 3-point linkage,

put the lifting unit lever into the locked position.

25- The connection pins on the machine must match the connection sockets on the

lifting unit.

26- During transport, secure the lateral lifting arms with the appropriate chains and

tighteners.

27- When the machine is raised during road transport, put the tractor's hydraulic lifter

lever into the locked position.

28- Only use the Cardan shaft provided by the manufacturer and, in case of

replacement, substitute it with one having the same characteristics.

29- Regularly check all protection on the Cardan shaft. This should always be in

excellent condition and securely fixed.

30- It is important to ensure that the protection on the Cardan shaft is complete.

31- Connection and disconnection of the Cardan shaft must be carried out with the

engine switched off.

32- Pay particular attention to the correct connection and safety of the Cardan shaft

and the power takeoffs on the machine and the tractor.

33- Prevent the cardan shaft protection from rotating using the chains supplied.

34- Before engaging the power takeoff, make sure that there are no people or animals

in the vicinity and that the selected engine speed corresponds to that permitted. Never go above the maximum permitted.

35- Do not engage the power takeoff when the engine is not running.

36- Always disengage the power takeoff when the Cardan shaft is at too wide an angle

(it should never be more than 35° Fig. 3.2) and when it is not in use.

37- Only clean and grease the Cardan shaft when the power takeoff is disengaged, the

engine is off, the parking brake is applied and the ignition key is removed.

38- On disconnecting the Cardan shaft, replace the protective hood on the power

takeoff shaft.

39- Prolonged use of the machine can cause the drive boxes to become hot. To avoid

any risk of getting burnt, avoid touching these areas both during se and some time afterwards.

40- Periodically check screws and nuts for

tightness and grip. Tighten if necessary.

41- When carrying out maintenance work or

replacing the blades, raise the machine and rest on adequate supports.

42- Use the quantities of grease and oil

advised.

43- Spare parts must meet the requirements as

defined by the manufacturer. Use only original spare parts.

44- Safety decals must always be clearly

visible. They must be kept clean and replaced if they become too illegible (they can be ordered from the agent if necessary).

5) ADJUSTMENT,PREPARATION AND USE

INTRODUCTION

Connection to the tractor is highly dangerous. Take great care and carry out the entire operation in strict compliance with the following instructions. Nobody should go near the area between the tractor and the machine. Check that all warning and danger signs are in place and legible. Check that the tractor is in good running order. Refer to the tractor operator’s manual.

ATTACHMENT OF MACHINE TO THE TRACTOR

Note: If a safety system is provided, this should be fitted to the machine shaft, not to the tractor shaft. Apply the end 1 of the cardan to the socket on the machine

2 (see Fig. A-F). Connect the lifting arm 3 to the pins 4 of the machine and fasten with the split pins 5 (see Fig. B-C-D-F-G). Connect the tie-rod (or hydraulic cylinder) 6 to the 3

point hitch and fasten with the pin 7 and the split pin 8. Hitch 11 has two holes 12-13 to fit the variety of connecting tie-rods pins. (see Fig. B-C-E-F-H-I). Connect part 9 of the cardan to the socket on the tractor 10 (see Fig. B-C-F-H). (Fig. F-G-H are for the front-attachment models)

CONNECTING CARDAN SHAFT INFORMATION

More detailed information may be found in the cardan shaft manual which, together with this manual, is an essential part of the accident-prevention documentation. It is your responsibility to read and comply with this documentation. If information given in this manual should conflict with that given in the cardan shaft manual, you should follow the instructions given by the cardan shaft manufacturer.

After having connected the cardan shaft to the shaft of the machine gearbox and to the tractor PTO as described previously, make sure that when working with or transporting the mower no situations occur in which the maximum extension or minimum contraction of the cardan shaft does not exceed the conditions described in the notes below.

During both transport and use, avoid conditions where the cardan shaft is extended to the maximum. In all working conditions, the telescopic tubes must overlap by at least 1/3 of their length (fig. 1). Conversely, when the cardan shaft is contracted to the maximum, there should still be a gap of approximately 50mm-2” (Fig. 2).

It is absolutely forbidden to use the machine if the application of the cardan shaft isn’t included in the previously described and illustrated conditions (see figure 1-2).

Fig.1

Fig.2

TRANSPORT INSTRUCTIONS FOR FINISHING MOWERS

Once the machine is attached to the tractor, before proceeding with the transport check to make sure all attachment pins are fully inserted in place and correctly fastened with the fastening pins. For transport, the machine must be raised by the tractor power-lift. If when raised the position reached is not satisfactory, adjust the power-lift adjustment rods 1-2. Check that the cardan shaft 3 does not interfere with the 3rd point hitch when the machine is raised.

TRANSPORT BY ROAD

After the machine has been attached to the tractor as previously described and before transporting it to or from fields or any other workplace, the following instructions should be heeded: Before setting off with the machine attached to the tractor, check the local road transport regulations. During transport keep the machine fully raised with the power takeoff disengaged and the lifting unit immobilised. Ensure that nobody leans against, or climbs on to, the machine during transport. The finishing mowers is an agricultural machine NOT designed for persons or goods. Consult the tractor maintenance and user manual where necessary. Maintain constant control over the vehicle and ensure that you know how to stop the tractor quickly and switch off the engine. When on a public road, observe all highway code regulations. Drive near the edge of the road and try not to obstruct traffic. Do not park the tractor and/or the machine where it might obstruct, or be a danger to, any public right of way. Avoid going onto a public road if the tractor or machine is very dirty you could leave a trail of soil, grass and other matter which could dirty the road and obstruct normal traffic.

USE IN THE FIELD

Once the machine is prepared, before beginning work read the chapter on “General Instructions for Use in the Field” (see pg.27)

PRELIMINARY CHECK

Check that, depending on which is the case, the rotation direction “A” (counterclockwise – standard) or “B” (clockwise) of the PTO of gearbox 1 matches that of the tractor PTO 2. Check that, depending on which is the case, the number of RPMs 540-1000-2000 counterclockwise or 540-1000-2000 clockwise of the PTO of gearbox 1 matches that of the tractor PTO 2. Check that, regardless of the number of RPMs and the rotation direction of gearbox PTO 1 and tractor PTO 2, the rotation direction of the blades 3 is always

that indicated by the arrows “C”. Note: These preliminary checks must be done for machines with rear grass ejector as well as for machines with side grass ejector and for front finishing mowers.

USE IN THE FIELD – PRELIMINARY ADJUSTING

ADJUSTING THE CUTTING HEIGHT

To adjust the cutting height in regard to the height of the grass to be mowed, spacers 1-2-34-5 must be suitably placed above and/or below the axle bushings 7 (see Fig. A-B). By suitably combining spacers 1-2-3-4-5, a minimum cutting height of about 20 mm - 3/4” and maximum cutting height of about 100 mm – 4” can be obtained (see Fig. A-B). The minimum cutting height is obtained by putting spacers 1-2-3-4 above the axle bushings 7. The maximum cutting height is obtained by putting spacers 1-2-3-4 below the axle bushings

7. Spacer 5 is always kept above the axle bushing 7 when spacers 1-2-3-4 are put below the bushing, and below the bushing when spacers 1-2-3-4 are placed above, as it must act as an antifriction washer. To carry out this operation, the machine must be in a suitable area and must be raised by the tractor power-lift (see Fig. C-D) in order to facilitate the removal of wheel assembly 6 from axle 7. To do this it is necessary to remove split pin 8, then slide out 6 and the spacers 1-2-3-4-5 from axle 7. At this point suitably arrange the spacers 1-2-3-4-5 so as to obtain the desired cutting height, and then fasten the wheel assembly 6 and spacers 1-2-3-4-5 to axle 7 using the split pin 8.

USE IN THE FIELD – PRELIMINARY ADJUSTING

ADJUSTMENT OF THE UPPER FLOATING HITCH

With the mower and tractor standing on a flat, level surface, adjust the upper floating hitch 9 (see Fig. A-E) so that it is in the middle position “G” between the farthest frontward “H” and farthest rearward “I” positions (see Fig. E). This allows the machine to adapt to the terrain during operation. The middle position “G” is obtained by adjusting the 3rd point hitch rod 10. Choose among the hole Y and Y of the hitch 9, the most suitable one for your requirements. (see Fig. A-E).

ADJUSTMENT OF THE LOWER FLOATING HITCH

The lower floating hitch 11 has two holes due (K-W) so that it can be adapted to fit various types of lifting arms. Normally, floating hitch 11 is fastened to the mower frame using hole “W”. If you have to mount lever 11 on hole “K” see pg.15 step “D”. With the mower and tractor standing on a flat, level surface, adjust the lower floating hitch 11 (see Fig. A-F) so that it is in the middle position “L” between the uppermost “M” and lowermost “N” positions (see Fig. F). This allows the machine to adapt to the terrain during operation. The middle position “L” is obtained by adjusting the rods of the lifting arms 12 (see Fig. A-F).

ADJUSTING THE BELT TENSION

The tension of the belts 5 is set correctly by the manufacturer, but the tension must be checked periodically according to the time schedule given on pg..29, and reset to the proper tension if necessary. This check is very important, because belts that are too loose or too tight wear out quickly and impair the performance of the mower. This operation must be done using maximum caution, and always with the tractor shut off and the cardan shaft disconnected. First the protective covers 1-2 must be removed by unscrewing the screws at points A-B. Next, loosen the nuts 3 that fasten the slide-reduction unit-pulley assembly 4. Then loosen nut 6 and bring it back approx. 5/6 mm-1/4”. Now tighten screw 7 so as to make the assembly 4 slide in direction “D”. In order to determine the proper tension for belts 5, refer to the information in the following tables. Once belts 5 are correctly tensioned, tighten nut 6 and nuts 3. Reattach the protective covers 1-2 using the screws and washers removed previously at points A-B.

GENERAL RULE FOR CALCULATING THE TENSION OF BELT TYPES B/ SPB/5V/15N/XPB/5VX

INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO CHANGE THE BELTS

The replacement of the belts 5 must be done using maximum caution, and always with the tractor shut off and the cardan shaft disconnected. First the protective covers 1-2 must be removed by unscrewing the screws at points A-B. Next, loosen the nuts 3 that fasten the slide-reduction unit-pulley assembly 4. Then loosen nut 6 and unscrew screw 7 so as to make the assembly 4 slide in direction “C” until it is possible to remove the belts 5 from the grooves of the pulleys. Now remove the three screws on side “D” of the reduction unit mount and then loosen the three screws on the inside of side “E” of the reduction unit mount until it can be raised enough on side “D” to allow the belts to be pulled out from underneath it. The new belts are put on by following the same procedure in reverse order. To determine the right degree of tension for belts 5, follow the instructions and refer to the data described previously. Once belts 5 are correctly tensioned, tighten nut 6 and nuts 3. Reattach the protective covers 1-2 using the screws and washers removed previously at points A-B.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR REPLACING THE BLADES

The replacement of the blades 3 must be done using maximum caution, and always with the tractor shut off and the cardan shaft disconnected. Raise the mower body to the maximum height possible with the tractor power-lift so as to allow you to work properly on the underneath part of the mower. To increase the lifting height, adjust the rod (or hydraulic cylinder) 6. Now place suitable supports “B” under the mower body or hook it onto a suitable hoist “C” (taking into consideration the mower weight). Depending on the operator’s experience, the tools and equipment available, and the area where the replacement is done (in the shop, in the field, etc.), other procedures may be used provided that work is done fully observing all safety measures and conditions. To remove blade 5 use wrench 1 on part “A” of the hub pin 2 and wrench 3 on nut 4, unscrewing the nut so that blade 5 can be removed. Replace the blade and fasten it to the hub pin following the reverse procedure. Before using the mower ensure that the blade has been correctly fastened in place, because a blade that has not been adequately secured to the hub pin 2 can be extremely hazardous.

TEMPORARY PARKING

1) Choose a flat, hard open space away from frequented areas if possible.

2) Switch off the engine, leaving the tractor in gear.

3) Apply the parking brake and remove the ignition key.

4) Put the parking stand in the parking position.

5) Turn the angle adjustment crank so that the weight of the machine is on the parking stand, thus avoiding the risk of having the machine tip over backwards.

6) Disconnect the cardan shaft at the tractor end.

7) Unhitch the tractor drawbar coupling pin.

6) MAINTENANCE DIRECTIONS

All cleaning, lubrication and maintenance operation must be carried out with the machine disconnected from the tractor. In an emergency with the machine still connected to the tractor, switch off the engine, apply the parking brake, disengage the power takeoff and remove the ignition key from the instrument panel.

Regular, correct maintenance and proper operation are the basic prerequisites for the long-term efficiency and safe operation the machine.

Pay special attention to all instructions given on signs located on the machine.

All maintenance should be carried out in an area having the proper equipment readily available and in good condition. This area must always be kept clean and dry and must have enough surrounding space to facilitate operations. Any work must be carried out by trained personnel. Contact the dealer nearest to you. Respect the warnings and procedures for maintenance and technical assistance given in this manual.

Do not use petrol, solvents or other flammable liquids as detergents. Use commercial non-flammable and non-toxic solvents, authorised by competent bodies. Do not use compressed air or water at high pressure to clean the machine. If this is unavoidable, then wear goggles with side protection and limit the pressure as much as possible. When the work is finished, and with the machine disconnected from the tractor, inspect and check the machine completely.

General checking of bolts, security pins and split pins to be carried out

initially after the first 8 hours of use. Subsequently every 50 hours and whenever the machine is laid up for extended periods. (** First time after 4 hours)

NOTE A: The first oil change must be done after 50 hours working time and then

after 400-500 hours of work. Keep in mind that intense and continuous working conditions will necessitate more frequent oil changes and periodic checks. It is a good practice to check the oil level every 50-60 hours of work. When changing the oil use maximum caution, and always make sure the tractor is shut off and the cardan shaft disconnected; it may be advisable to detach the mower entirely from the tractor. However, depending on the situation and the operator’s experience, the tools and equipment available, and the area where the oil change is done (in the shop, in the field, etc.), other procedures may be used provided that the operator is always fully aware of the hazards connected with this operation.

Cap 1 on the housing is for filling, and cap 2 for checking the level. To check the level, simply unscrew cap 2 and see if the oil reaches the lower part of the cap 2 opening. To top up the oil, remove cap 1 and add oil until it starts to come out of the cap 2 opening. Put caps 1-2 back in place. To change the oil, keeping in mind the preceding safety recommendations, place the mower in a vertical position, or inclined enough so that once caps 1-2 are removed the oil can drain out of the cap 2 opening. Once the used oil has been completely drained, put the mower back in a level position and add oil in the cap 1 opening until it starts to come out of the cap 2 opening. Put caps 1-2 back in place. For a full oil change, approx. 0.5 liters of ISO 320 VG (SAE 80W/90 EP) type oil are needed.

NOTE B: Each time the cardan shaft is disconnected and/or connected and

whenever the machine is stopped, we recommended that you clean the power takeoff shaft and replace the protective cover (use additives of a type permitted by antipollution regulations).

NOTE C: Each time the machine is connected and/or disconnected to the tractor.

NOTE D: To carry out this operation following the instructions given on pg.23-24.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR REPAIR WORK

Any repair work must be carried out with the machine at rest and disconnected from the tractor. Do not carry out welding without authorisation and instructions from the manufacturers. Disconnect the machine from the tractor before any welding work in order not to damage the battery. Always use a protective mask, goggles and gloves when welding, sanding or grinding or when using a hammer or drill. Always work on the machine out of doors. If you have to operate the machine when connected to the tractor in an enclosed are (for example when testing after repair and/or maintenance) ensure that there is sufficient ventilation so as to prevent noxious exhaust gases accumulating.

In order to acquire the necessary control and to operate in safety, practise various manoeuvres by simulating those required in the workplace with the help of an experienced person.

If you activate the machine while it is raised from the ground, make sure there is nobody standing nearby or in a dangerous position.

LAYNING UP FOR EXTENDED PERIODS

At the end of the season, or when an extended period of inactivity is envisaged, it is advisable to:

Clean the machine following instructions an allow it to dry.

Check it carefully and replace any damaged or worn parts.

Thoroughly tighten all screws and bolts.

Grease the machine thoroughly and then cover it completely and lay it up in a dry place.

It is to the user’s advantage to carry out these operations carefully. In this way, he will have a machine in perfect condition when work is restarted.

On recommencing work, repeat all the proper checks so as to be certain of working in conditions of maximum safety.

NOISE AND VIBRATION

Noise affecting the tractor driver (from the machine only) is less than 80dB. Vibration from the machine affecting the upper body and limbs of the driver is insignificant and is lower than the values given in Point 3.6.3 of Enclosure 1 of the Machine Directives (89/392/EEC, 91/386/EEC)

THE FOLLOWING SHOULD BE NOTED IF THE MACHINE IS SCRAPPED

The machine consists mainly of ferrous material, which must be disposed of according to the regulations in force in the country concerned.

There is also a small amount of plastic, which must be disposed of according to the regulations in force in the country concerned.

There is very small amount of residual grease, which must be disposed of according to the regulations in force in the country concerned.
