DESCRIPTION
Description of the sickle bar
This agricultural implement can only operate by means of a
cardan shaft applied to the pto of an agricultural tractor
equipped with lift and universal three-point hitch. Since it is
movable, the mowing machine can be easily mounted on
tractors with different gauges or on tracked vehicles (Fig.
1). The two-motion tooth-blade system used in mowing
machines, makes possible a scissors cut which leads to a
higt speed operation on a any crop. The original tooth-blade
motion guarantees a sharp and clean cut on any type of
grass, be it damp or flattened. It is thanks to the total
absence of soil which this mowing system does not raise,
sharp because the stems are not frayed. The sickle bar may
also be used with the cutting arm tilted for working on canals,
ditches and embankments (Fig. 2 and 3).
Fig. 1
Fig. 2
Fig. 3
ATTENTION
The sickle bar is suitable only for the uses
indicated. Any other use different from that
described in these instructions could cause
damage to the machine and represent a serious
hazard for the user.
It is therefore advisable to strictly comply with the following
instructions in order to prevent faults which could jeopardize
the correct and long-lasting operation of the implement.
Compliance with the instructions in this handbook is also
important since the Manufacturer declines all and every
responsibility for damage to persons or property
caused by negligence and failure to comply with these
instructions.
The Manufacturer shall, however, remain at the customers’
disposal for immediate and thorough assistance together
with anything else that may be required in order to ensure
the correct operation and maximum efficiency of the
implement.
The Manufacturer reserves the right to make any
modifications and improvements to the implement as may
be considered opportune, without being obliged to
immediately inform the user.

INSTALLING
Stability of sickle bar and tractor during transport
When a sickle bar is coupled to a tractor, so becoming an integral part of it for the purposes of road
travel, the stability of the sickle bar-tractor complex may change and cause driving or operating difficulties
(rearing up or side-slipping of the tractor). The condition of equilibrium can be restored by placing a
sufficient number of ballasts on the front of the tractor so that the weights on the two tractor axles are
distributed sufficiently evenly. To work in safety the instructions given in the highway code should be
followed; these prescribe that at least 20% of the weight of the tractor alone should be borne by the front
axle and that the weight on the arms of the hoist should not be more than 30% of the weight of the tractor
itself. These factors are summarized in the following formulas:
Z > (M x s)-(0.2 x T x i)
(d+i)
The amount of ballast that should be applied according to the formula is the minimum required for circulation
on the road. If for reasons of tractor performance or to improve the set-up of the sickle bar during operation
it is thought necessary to raise these values, please refer to the registration document of the tractor to
check its limits. When the formula for calculating the ballast gives a negative result it will not be necessary
to add any weight. In any case, as long as the limits of the
tractor are respected, a suitable quantity of weights may be
applied in order to ensure greater stability during travel. The
symbols have the following meanings:

Cleaning and oiling the cutters
DANGER
Mowing bar cleaning and oiling are very dangerous
operations. Always comply with the following
instructions:
• Switch off the tractor, remove the starter key and disengage
the pto;
C
• Brake the tractor and make sure it is unable to move;
• Lift the implement by means of the lift links in a flat place
where it cannot slip;
• Operate the mowing bar, checking that there are no
persons or animals in the vicinity;
• Wash the mowing bar with a jet of pressurized water,
standing at least 5 feet away from the implement;
• Check the condition of the cutters;
Fig. 49
• When the mowing bar is dry, oil the cutters with very
viscous oil;
• Operate the mowing bar for a few seconds, checking that
there are no persons or animals in the vicinity;
• Switch off the tractor, remove the starter key and disengage
the pto;
• Fit the guards over the cutters and outer skid (C Fig. 49)
Checking the clearance tolerance
ATTENTION

and remove the key before servicing, adjusting
the implement for work.All assembly operations
must be carried out on a work bench.
11.9 inches
ONE SHIM (GH 13011510)
Fig. 50
Every 50 hours of operation, the clearance between the tooth
and upper blade guide must be checked. Too much
clearance allows material to enter the cutting blade, leading
to the possible breakage of the various parts of the cutting
blade, as well as compromising cutting quality. Too little
clearance creates excessive sliding friction on the blade as
it slides, leading to the possible breaking of the tooth holding
bar, the blade head or parts of the hinge. The check is to run
between the tooth and the upper blade guide. The optimal
clearance is determined by the passing of a shim (Fig. 50).
If a shim cannot pass between the tooth and upper blade
guide, a shim must be added (Fig. 53). If, on the other hand,
two coupled shim can pass (Fig. 51), a shim must be removed
in order to restore optimal clearance conditions.

It is advisable to proceed in the following way at the end of
the season or if the machine is to remain inactive for a long
period of time:
• Treat the implement in compliance with the instructions
given in the chapter entitled: "Cleaning and oiling the
cutters".
• Carefully check for any damaged or worn parts and replace
these as necessary.
• Fully torque all screws and bolts.
• Apply a little lubricant to the unpainted parts.
• Protect the entire implement with a cover.
• Lastly, store the implement in a dry place where it cannot
be tampered with by unauthorized persons; the mowing
machine must be set-up on flat and compact ground,
supported by the relative supports (F and G, Fig. 54).

Transport on Road
•
•
•
When driving on public roads, be sure to follow the
highway code of the country involved.
Any transport accessories must be provided with suitable
signs and guards.
It is very important to remember that road holding
capacity as well as direction and braking capacity can
be influenced, sometimes con-siderably, by equipment
being either carried or towed.

Fig. 61
•
When negotiating curves, be aware of the variation in
centrifugal force exerted in a position other than that of
the center of gravity, with and without the equipment in
tow.Also pay greater attention on sloping roads or ground.
For displacements beyond the work area, the equipment
must be placed in the transportation position.
When the dimensions of carried or partially-carried
equipment conceal the tractor’s signalling and lighting
devices, these must also be installed on the equipment
itself, in conformity with regulations of the highway code
of the country involved. When in operation make sure that
the lighting system is in perfect working order.
