Machine Set up
Hydraulic Ram Set Up Instructions (Side Mounted toppers)
1.
Fit hydraulic quick fits to Tractor Spool
2. Fit Drain Line to pressure free return on tractor
3. Lift machine & power hydraulics to move body into mowing
position.
4. Place spool in neutral position.
5. Tighten lower link stabilizer bars to ensure machine is tight
on linkage & ensure that linkage bars are positioned to
have machine slightly forward when in mowing position.
6. When mowing, the machine should be perpendicular or
slightly forward to the direction of travel. If the machine
is lagging behind the tractor then excessive pressure is being
exerted on the valve & will cause the machine to creep back.
Correctly set up with stabilizers tightened up
Incorrectly set up with loose stabilizers
Proceed to mow grass after machine has been set up as shown above. IMPORTANT!! . Mowing speed should never
exceed 7 Kph.
Mowing over rough ground can cause pressure on the relief valve with the consequence of the valve to
operate. It is suggested to mow at lower speeds over these undulations
Transport Postion - Side Mounted Topper

tractor parking brake is applied
2. Lift the body clear from the ground with the tractor 3 point linkage
3. Transform the machine into transport position by hydraulic control.
