4.4 DURING WORK
Proceed in the following way after you have correctly hitched the machine, sat down in the driver’s seat of the tractor and started
the tractor engine:
Raise the machine about 10 cm from the ground so that the rotor does not touch the vegetation that needs to be cut
ȡ
Run the engine at a low rate and engage the PTO
ȡ
Gradually accelerate until the PTO is operating at full rate
ȡ
Engage the forward gear and start work with the PTO at full rate
ȡ
Gradually lower the machine until it rests on the ground. This allows it to adapt to the contours of the soil.
ȡ
CAUTION
Do not depress the accelerator pedal in an imprudent way with the PTO engaged.
Drive a short distance and check to make sure that the plants and undergrowth are being cut to the required degree.
ȡ
The cutting height is regulated by adjusting the rear roller as indicated in point «

the nature of the soil
ȡ
A good cut is obtained at a low ground speed and with the blade rotor turning at high speed.
CAUTION
The speed of the tractor when the machine is operation must not exceed 6-8 kph or components could be broken or dama-
ged.
Never swerve sharply or change direction when the machine is working.
Never ever reverse when the machine is on the ground.
DANGER
Stones or other sharp objects may be thrown up by the spinning blades during work. Constantly check to make sure that
there are no bystanders, children or domestic animals within the range of action of the machine.
