Operation of the mower
6.1 Application area
The mower is used for mowing green areas and agricultural areas.
The area of application extends from manicured lawns, to matted grass to uncultivated land.
6.2 Function
The mower works with three rotating blades, these blades are powered by the tractor via the working hydraulics.




Use as rotary mower with side discharge:
Through the rotating blades the grass is cut and the cuttings are laterally accelerated out of
the rotary mower.
If the mower is operated in conjunction with a suction unit and collection container the cuttings can be collected simultaneously.
Appropriate devices are available on request.
Use as rotary mower with rear discharge:
Through the rotating blades the grass is cut and the cuttings are accelerated out of the rotary mower to the rear.
Use of the mower with harrow unit:
The harrow is used for mechanical weed removal and to loosen sod.
6.3 Instructions for mowing
6.3.1 Clean the work terrain before mowing
Fig. 18: Clean the work terrain
Ensure for yourself that the work area is free of objects that can damage the
mower or the blades, or that could be thrown out (ejected) by the mower.
Page 24
6
6.3.2 Mowing irregular areas
Fig. 19: Irregular areas
Divide irregular areas into smaller sections.
Change the mowing pattern frequently; do not always work in the same pattern.
6.3.3 Mowing large areas
Fig. 20: Mowing large areas
Mow large free areas as shown on Fig. 20.
6.3.4 Mowing small areas
Fig. 21: Mowing small areas
If you do not use a collection container, mow small areas as shown in Fig. 21 – two to three rounds
clockwise, the rest counterclockwise. This prevents the mower from repeated clogging due to accumulated cuttings.

Comply with the instructions in the operating manual (assembly instructions)
provided by the manufacturer of the universal joint shaft. The universal joint
shaft must be matched to the respective carrier vehicle.
Depending on the carrier vehicle, the provided universal joint shaft may be
too long. Execute the steps described in the original manual of the manufacturer of the universal joint shaft, for shortening and mounting the universal
joint shaft. If the manual has been lost or is no longer present for some other
reason, contact matev GmbH.
The mower must be matched to the speed of the carrier vehicle's PTO shaft.
7.3 Mowers with hydraulic drive




Connect the 3 hydraulic hoses (flow, return, and the leak oil line) to the vehicle.
Place the front hydraulics in float position.
Switch-on the mower briefly.
Check the direction of rotation of the blades. The blades must rotate clockwise (as viewed
from above).
Never reach into the mower when the blades are rotating. Switch off the tractor and remove the ignition key before reaching into the mower. Attention:
The mower blades continue to rotate after the engine is switched off. Wait until the blades have come to a complete standstill before reaching into the
mower unit.

7.5 Operation of the mower
Before first use of the mower, comply with the instructions on safety and
handling for operation of the entire implement and the connection to the carrier vehicle.
When mowing, always switch the carrier vehicle's front lift to float position.
The mower must rest on the four casters. Adjust the cutting height via the
casters. Excessive distance to the ground can result in solid objects being
ejected from the mower.
Adapt the drive speed for the grass to be mowed or for the cutting height and
cutting quantity. Recommended drive speed is between 3 and 8 km/h.
The cutting pattern depends on many factors:
Grass characteristics: Grass height, grass density, grass types, and wetness
of the grass, drive speed, and cutting height.
Never reach into the mower when the blades are rotating. Switch off the tractor and remove the ignition key before reaching into the mower. Attention:
The mower blades continue to rotate after the engine is switched off. Wait until the blades have come to a complete standstill before reaching into the

7.11 Adjusting the air supply
For a clean flow of grass it is important that sufficient air can flow into the mower. The intake air is
accelerated through the mower discharge together with the cut grass. This is the only way to exclude the possibility of clogs in the mower or in the suction port.
As a rule, air is supplied through the gap between the ground and the mower. When mowing extremely dense grass with a low cutting height, the gap between the sod and the mower is minimal.
In this case not much air can flow into the mower and the grass flow worsens.
To optimally mow even in dense grass and with a low cutting height, the mower has three air regulating disks. These are arranged centrally around the blade units. When opening the air regulating
disks, air from above can flow into the mower and thus ensure a better grass flow.

7.13.2 Changing the plunge depth of the tines
The harrow must be adapted to the respective cutting height for an optimal
plunge depth of the tines. This is achieved with the aid of the stroke limitation when retracting
the cylinder.
Improper adjustment of the tine plunge depth into the ground can damage the
sod.

Maintenance
8.1 Safety when performing maintenance
Personal injury or tractor and implement damage can occur. Before each use
of the implements check all safety-relevant parts and the hydraulic connections.
The mower must not be switched on when maintenance tasks are performed.
Switch off the carrier vehicle engine and remove the ignition key.
Danger of crushing due to moving parts.
Never reach into the crushing hazard zone if parts are moving or can move.
Wear suitable protective clothing when changing the
Mower blades.
Properly reattach all protective devices that have been dismounted
after executing the maintenance tasks.
After the first 20 hours of operation check all screw and bolt connections.
Subject the implement to regular maintenance. Use lubricating grease to lubricate the moving parts.
See Lubrication schedule.
8.2 Maintenance
The moving parts of the implement must be greased or oiled at regular intervals, and always at the
beginning and end of the season.
8.2.1 Daily maintenance tasks






Clean the machine after each use.
Each time before starting to drive, ensure that all described safety notices and safety devices are completely present and functional.
Check hydraulic connections and hoses for leaks.
Check wear parts, such as blades, and replace them or have them replaced as needed.
Retighten the fastening screws of the blades, possibly with 250 Nm.
Check tire pressure; tire pressure must be 1.5 bar.
Page 42

8.2.2 Weekly maintenance tasks or after 25 operating hours.

• Check all screw connections and bolt connections. Tighten any loose screws, and secure
any loose bolt connections with spring cotter pins. Visually inspect the belt; worn or damaged belts must be
replaced.
8.2.3 Mower blades
The blades are wear parts and must be sharpened and balanced regularly.
Wear suitable protective equipment for installation and removal
of the mower blades.
If the blade is deformed by an object, a rock for example, the blade must be
replaced without delay. Do not continue to operate the mower with the damaged blade.
8.2.4 Mounting the V-belt
If you must replace the V-belt, when mounting, ensure that the belt runs correctly in its course.

The springs of the tension pulleys are under tension. Ensure that both ends
of the springs are hooked in correctly. After replacing the belt, it may be necessary to re-adjust (re-tension) the belt.
Do not operate the mower if the belt guards are missing or damaged.
8.3 Cleaning and care
To ensure the function of the mower, you must clean grass clippings off of the mower after each
use.
Cleaning tasks, e.g. with a high-pressure cleaner, should be executed in such
a manner that the water jet is not aimed directly at bearing parts and turned
parts
(shaft seals, lubricating nipples, etc.).
