The mower can be adjusted according to tractor’s PTO rpm direction. Generally, the mower is
adjusted to work with WET tractors with right PTO rpm direction (looking from the operator). To

3. SAFETY ADVICE
Operation without safety guards as well as with the damaged or raised guards is not allowed
(danger of the stones, etc. being thrown out).
Start mowing only when the tractor’s PTO reaches its normal 1000 rpm.
Nobody is allowed to remain within the danger area of at least 50 m. Particular caution is
necessary when operating near roads and in stoney areas.
The areas to be mowed should be cleared of any hard objects (stones, etc). Large stones should
be removed and small ones rolled in during the spring.
Any maintenance and adjustment work should only be done after the drive has been
disconnected and when the cutting saucers have come to a complete standstill.
Always check mower before starting work, in particular for damaged, missing and/or worn
knives and knife holders. Damaged or worn parts must be replaced.
When driving on public roads always comply with local traffic regulations, especially
concerning warning lights.
When the mower is lifted for repair on the 3-point-hydraulic lift, it should be secured against
falling by a mechanical support or by chain.
Never lift the mower on tractor lift when the drive is on and the cutting saucers are rotating.
The bolts and other fasteners have to be periodically checked and, if necessary, tightened or
replaced. DO NOT work with damaged or worn fasteners.
No passengers or loads are allowed on the machine and tractor during operation and transport.
During transport (even on short distances) the mower should be in its transport position.
During operation of the mower the Regulation of the Farm Ministry and Food Economy
(Rozporządzenie Ministra Rolnictwa i Gospodarki Żywnościowej) from 12-01-1998 dealing
with safety and hygiene during the operation of tractors, machinery, tools andequipment used
for farming (Dz. U. Nr 12/98 poz. 51), should be observed,
