TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
WORKING SPEED
The working speed depends on the type of vegetation, and the height and density of the material to be cut. Under
normal conditions, 5 kph is the ideal speed. The speed of the power take-off may not exceed 540 rpm. Operate the
mower unit at a maximum power take-off speed of 540 rpm to achieve a consistent result.
WARNING
The specified maximum power take-off speed may not be exceeded. If the specified speed is exceeded, this may
cause defects in the drivetrain or blades. This in turn can lead to serious injury or even death.
TRANSPORTATION BY ROAD
Be extremely careful when transporting the tractor and equipment on public roads. Ensure you comply with all
regional regulations with regard to the transportation of equipment on public roads and highways. Do not exceed
a speed of 25 kph. Adjust speed to suit the road conditions and reduce speed considerably on roads or tracks with
potholes, as this could otherwise damage the tractor or the mower unit.
STORAGE
If your mower unit is not going to be used for an extended period, follow these recommendations: Wash the
machine completely and let it dry.
Grease all bearings with sufficient grease. Refer to the section
"Installation instructions" regarding grease nipples and greasing axles.
To prevent corrosion, protect the whole machine with a tarpaulin and place it in a dry place – preferably in a shed
or barn.
PRE-SEASON INSPECTION
Check the transmission oil level and grease all bearings. See "Installation instructions". Adjust the drive belt tension,
see "Adjusting the drive belts".
Examine all equipment and replace damaged or worn parts. Tighten all screws and nuts.
Check the equipment for missing and/or broken knives/blades. Replace where necessary.
Run the mower unit at low PTO speed and check that all parts of the drive train are moving freely.
