Work carefully to make sure that hydraulic valve bank to make sure that the frame is completely lowered, and
then adjust the height of the tines (H) above the ground. To change the distance between the tines and the
ground, turn the adjusting support (4) and rotate the locknut (5) to adjust the tilt of the machine relative to the
ground.
It is advised to adjust the front tine so that it is 1-3/8” from the ground. If adjustment is too high, the forage will
not be completely picked up and if it is too low, the forage risks becoming soiled. The grass will be damaged
and the double elastic tines will be worn down.
Before starting off to work, be sure that the machine is correctly assembled and in good operating condition.
6.2 Safety Tow Chain
If the mower is towed on a public roadway, a safety chain with tensile strength equal to or greater than the
gross weight of the mower must be connected between the tractor and mower. This will help control the
implement in the event the tongue becomes disconnected from the drawbar. Make sure the chain is attached
to a secure location on the tractor and not to an intermediate support.
After connecting both ends of the safety chain, drive the tractor to the right and left to check for proper chain
length. Adjust length as necessary and allow only enough slack in the chain to make a maximum turn in both
directions. When not in use, store the safety chain to protect it from mud or standing water by wrapping the
chain around the tongue. Replace the safety chain if one or more links or end fittings are broken, stretched or
otherwise damaged or deformed.
OPS-U-0039
Never work under the Implement, the framework, or any lifted
component unless the Implement is securely supported or blocked up
to prevent sudden or inadvertent falling which could cause serious
injury or even death.
