 1. INTRODUCTION
The mulcher is designed and built for the upkeep of green areas in vegetable plantations,
vineyards and nurseries, by shredding grass and/or pruning off-cuts. The mulcher can be
connected to any tractor by using the three point coupling. This manual describes the user
and maintenance instructions and the replacement parts supplied.
This manual is an integral part of the mulcher, it describes the use for which it has been built
and it contains the necessary information to guarantee a correct and safe implementation.
The mulcher is intended for professional use only and should only be operated by specialised
personnel. The mower is designed for professional use and is only consented for specia-
lised operators. The use by minors or people in abnormal physical or mental conditions is

sed.

3.2 Ergonomics

In the prescribed operating conditions, the discomfort, fatigue, psychological stress and
physical stress of the operator must reduced as much as possible by taking into account the
following ergonomics principles:
- consider the difference in physical dimensions, the strength and the stamina of the opera-
tor;
- the operator must have enough space for body movement;
- the work rhythm should not be dictated by the machine;
- avoiding monitoring that requires lengthy concentration;
- adapt the man to the machine interface to suit the operators foreseeable characteristics.

Regulate the roller stand until the cutting hammers don’t come out of the surface made from
the two skids.
In so doing, even if the ground is uneven the cutting hammers will not penetrate the ground
being worked on. It is important to set the mulcher parallel to the ground so as to have an
optimum working condition.
The height must also be adjusted at a third point -Tp - on the tractor (Fig.5).

DANGER
Attachment to the tractor is a very dangerous stage: be extremely careful to carry out the
entireoperation following the instructions.

The Manufacturer declines all responsibility for breakages on the mulcher or the tractor conse-
quent on failure to comply with these instructions.

The correct distance between the mulcher and the tractor is determined by the length of
the drive shaft which is extended by 5 to 10 cm from the maximum contraction.

At this point, proceed as follows:

1. Bring the bars of the tractor hitch close, placing them inside plates A, B (Fig.6), insert the
pin in the hole provided and secure with the spring clip.
2. Lock the bars of the lifter on the tractor with the appropriate chains and parallel shackles;
this precaution must be taken to avoid any transverse movement by the mulcher.
3. Engage the drive-shaft and ensure that it is perfectly locked onto the power take-off. Check
WKDWWKHJXDUGURWDWHVIUHHO\DQG¿[LWZLWKWKHSURSHUFKDLQUHPRYHWKHVXSSRUWIURPWKH
drive-shaft.
4. Connect the upper point (C) and perform a correct adjustment with the tie-rod, checking that
the upper surface of the mulcher ends up parallel to the ground. This is very important with
DYLHZWRREWDLQLQJSDUDOOHOLVPEHWZHHQWKHD[LVRIWKHVKDIWRIWKHSRZHUWDNHRIIRQWKH
mulcher and that on the tractor. Operating in these conditions means limiting the stresses
on the power take-off and prolonging the life of the drive-shaft and the mulcher itself.

Release 03-05/12 Pag.16 Cod. C6.473.046

 WARNING
Raise the mulcher from the ground and set the cutting height (see 4.6).
Adjust the position of the mulcher with the lifting rig, so that the mulcher is horizontal
or with the front end slightly higher to facilitate the entry of the material.

4.4 Drive-shaft

The angle at which the drive-shaft is operating must be the minimum possible (10°): this
favours longevity in the drive-shaft and in the mulcher (¿JXUH).
N.B.: At the time of buying the drive-shaft joint, in order to get the right size, always
specify the power required to activate the mulcher.

CAUTION
Carefully read the instruction booklet which the manufacturer of the drive-shaft sup-
plies with it. If it is worn or broken, it must be replaced with a CE-marked drive-shaft
shaft.

CAUTION
The manufacturer of the drive-shaft recommends not modifying the drive-shaft: since
the drive-shaft is a component which rotates at sustained speed, it undergoes balan-

would have repercussions on the functionality of the mulcher itself, as well as on the
integrity of the drive-shaft.
When the drive-shaft is extended to the maximum under any working conditions, the
telescopic tubes must overlap by at least 1/3 of their length, as in (Fig. 7).
When it is closed up to the maximum extent, the minimum play must be 4 cm.
If that is not possible, consult the Technical Service department of the Manufacturer.
%HIRUHEHJLQQLQJZRUNFKHFNWKDWWKHVDIHW\FKDLQVDUHSURSHUO\¿WWHGWRWKHJXDUGV
to prevent them rotating with the drive-shaft, and check that they are in good condi-
tion.
Check also that the drive-shaft is suitable for transmitting the power required by the
mulcher. In case of doubt, contact the Manufacturer.

CAUTION
Before engaging the power take-off, make certain that the rotation speed corresponds
to that required by the mulcher (540 rpm).

 4.5 Before using

Before starting the mulcher the following procedures must be carried out:
- Check that all screws and nuts are tight;
- Check that the machine is in working order, the lubricants are at the correct levels (see
chapter “MAINTENANCE”) and all other wearing parts are in perfect working order;
- Check that the desired working height is well regulated.

4.6 Adjustment of the working height

To adjust the cutting height, raise or lower the supporting skids and the idler roller until the
correct position is obtained.
The following is the procedure necessary for adjusting the working height of the mulcher:
- With the tractor switched off and the parking brake applied, lower the mulcher, gradually
and completely to the ground, using the lifter.
- Adjust the working height so that the knives are at 3 ÷ 4 cm (Fig. 8) from the ground.
3 - 4cm

(Fig.8)

Cod. C6.473.046 Pag.19 Release 03-05/12

 4.7 Operation

When the PTO is connected the cutting knives of the mulcher rotate at a ratio proportional
to the motorised cultivator or the tractor.
To get the best performance out of your machine the following precautions have to be ta-
ken:
The best method to shred the material is obtained with the tow vehicle at low speed and high
revolutions: Lower the mulcher’s ground height gradually.
Do not push down the accelerator pedal while the PTO is coupled and to the mulcher when
not working. This could damage both the mulcher and the tractor.

CAUTION
To avoid damage and breakages the speed of the tractor with the mulcher at work
should not exceed 5km/h.

DANGER
Whilst working there is a possibility of stones or other debris being thrown by the
rotating knifes: Check constantly for people, animals or other obstacles in your wor-
NLQJUDGLXV¿JXUH

(Fig.9)

CAUTION
When transporting or when the mulcher needs to be lifted from the ground. it is a safe
practice to check that the lifting rig does not raise the machine higher than 30 - 35 cm
above the ground.
Avoid driving on public roads with the mulcher full of dirt, grass or other debris so as not to
mess on the road or cause an obstruction.

5.3 Hammers: use and replacement

The hammers that are supplied with the mulcher are adapted for working on normal ground
surfaces.
Check for wear and damage daily; hammers should be replaced immediately if accidentally
broken or bent during work. The replacement of a single hammer may only be carried out
LIDOOWKHRWKHUWRROVDUHLQH[FHOOHQWFRQGLWLRQDQGRQO\LIWKHRSSRVLQJWRROLVDOVRUHSODFHG
in order to balance out the weight. Replacing all the tools and not only those damaged
is always recommended.
However, after replacement is complete the roller must be electronically balanced to ensure
that the machine is not subject to any vibrations that may cause severe damage.

Bully is not liable for damages caused by vibrations generated by shredding

The Zanon
rollers whose hammers or blades have been replaced and then not balanced; therefore,
requests for replacement under warranty or reimbursements for damaged caused will
not be accepted.

To replace worn or broken hammers it is necessary to:

- Remove and replace the damaged hammer;
- Fasten the bolt and locknut A the hammer must be free to swivel around the bolt;
- Repeat the operation to replace the other damaged hammers.

The quality, integrity and safety of the mulcher are all dependent on the care which is devoted
to the hammers, which must be replaced immediately if damaged.
Normal wear and tear, which is particularly rapid on sandy ground or when working with the
mulcher set too low, and impact against obstacles, can produce distortion or fractures in the
hammers, which can cause a deterioration in the quality of work, an increase in vibration,
with possible damage to the mulcher, and complete or partial breakage of the hammers with
fragments being thrown out at high speed.
The hole for the pivot bolt in the hammer must not be worn oval by more than 2 mm from
its original diameter.

For worn hammers (see Fig. 11):

7KHOHQJWKRIWKHKDPPHUPXVWQRWEHOHVVWKDQWKHDPRXQWLQGLFWHGLQWKH¿JXUH
- The securing with pins can be carried out with nuts: the nuts must be changed every time
a hammer is replaced; the tightening couple is 250 Nm.
Special screws for securing hammers:
- If they are visibly damaged, bent or ovaled to the limit, as shown in (Fig. 11) it is necessary
to replace them.

CAUTION
Use only original spare parts.

 5.4 Transmission belts
The engine power is transmitted to the rotor via adjustable belts. The transmission belt
tension must be checked periodically, or in case of malfunction or slipping, by following the
procedure described below:

- remove the protection cover nuts A (¿JXUH);

- loosen the locknut B;
- turn the screw C to adjust the belt tension.
- replace the protection cover.
