Rotary Drum Mower Product Manuals

Preparing The Machine For Work

Required Tractor Equipment;

• Mower may only be driven by a tractor shaft with max. 540 rpm.

• Three point connecting bars of the I or II category

Connecting to the Tractor;

Firstly connect the lower non adjustable arm then adjustable arm at the end connect upper connection arm. While disconnecting the machine do the opposite. The machine should be positioned as near to the tractor as possible, for using the whole working width (Figure 1).

2- Lower hitch arm
3- Right hanger arm
4- Left hanger arm

• The main holder on the machine can be connected to the three point hitch system while the tractor is parallel to the ground as shown in the (Figure 1).

• Connect the prescribed P.T.O shaft and secure the P.T.O shaft connection by a chain (Figure 4).

• Make sure that the P.T.O shaft is in proper position on both ends.

• If the load in front wheels is not enough put additional load.

Adjusment of the P.T.O Shaft;

The adjusment of the P.T.O shaft is necesarry for different tractors. To find out the right length.

• Connect the machine to the tractor

• Pull out the P.T.O shaft entirely an connect each separate half of the shaft to the tractor and than compare them with each other.

• In case you need to shorten the P.T.O shaft, make sure you shorten both shafts and protection tubes for exactly the same length.

• File the end of the tubei remove the remainings of filling and lubricate gliding spots well.
KT4 101 910 100 (covered, triangle piped 400 serial, machine side 1 3/8 Z6, tractor side 1 3/8 Z6-1000 mm. length) shaft is used in Rotary Drum Mower.

• P.T.O shaft can only be connected when the P.T.O connection and engine are switced off and the ignition key is pulled down.

Preparation of the mower for transport position;

If the machine is connected to the tractor and the machine is in transport position, take the P.T.O shaft in safety by the chain. In working position connect the P.T.O shaft to the tractor.

• The machine must be in horizontal position when it is connected to the tractor (2) (Figure 8).

• By turning the tractor upper arm regulate the cutting height (1) (Figure 8).

• Fasten the tractor bottom arm, so you can prevent the vibrations on the machine while it is working (3) (Figure 9).

For a regular cutting, the cutting unit of the machine should not be higher or lower from the ground.

Protection of the Mower:
Drum Mower is equipped with a safety fuse, which gets released when the mower hits an obstacle. Mower moves backwards. In this case stop immediately and pull backwards so that the safety fuse will get contact again. Do not forget to remove the obstacle before starting to move again. The safety fues does function when driving bacwards. In case the sfety fuse in released too fast at normal working, adjust in by a nut (Figure 11).

Belt tightening:
The vee-belts are mostly streched in the first working hours. On the tightening device there is a spring that enables the belts to remain tightened inspite of the streching. We advise you to control the level of tightening from time to time (Figure 11).

• Make sure that nobody is in the area of danger of the implement before switching on the P.T.O shaft connection.

• When working with the P.T.O shaft connection nobody is allowed to be in the area of rotating connection on the P.T.O shaft.

• After switching off the P.T.O shaft connection the danger of rotating heavier parts remains. Do not get close to the implement during this period. You can start to work only when the rotation is completely stopped.

• P.T.O shaft protection must be fitted on. And must be in perfect condition.

• Use only original P.T.O shafts prescribed by your manufacturer. Because the manufacturer will not tke any responsibility if another shaft is used.

Transporting the machine to the field to prepare for work:

• Start the engine of the tractor for a munite. Hold the machine with main hydraulic arm. Attach the security lock for not to damage to the hydraulic system while driving. Strech the streching chains to prevent swinging. Transport the machine empty (without fertilizer) to the field. Fill the fertilizer to the tank in the field.

• In transporting position, raise the machine up and lock the security pin to prevent the machine fall down.

• In turnings, take into consideration the load which is outside the centre of gravity and/or constant weight of the implement.

• Working with tractor in the tendency fields can give damage to the machine. But if you have to work in these tendency fields take care of working, do not turn the road bend fastly and sharply. For working in tendency fields you must be careful about if the tractor is decked out with the additional weights.
