6.3 Working Mode
6.3.1 Adjust the machine to suit the type of work to be done and the material to be cut:
• Adjust the height of cut, as shown in Figure 13.
Working speed is chosen to suite the material to be cut and the degree of chopping
required.
The optimum speed ranges from 2 to 5 miles per hour.
IMPORTANT: When extending and closing the arms, lightly lift the flail head off the
ground, to avoid damage to the frame (Figure 16)
IMPORTANT: During reverse movement, lift the shredder off the ground to avoid
damaging the machine (Figure 17 & 18)

Before stopping the tractor:
• Close the arms and lower the flail head to the ground.
• Disconnect the power takeoff.
