During normal use ensure the couplings for the side
knife are connected together inside the RHS guard to
avoid damage to the hydraulic pump.
When the filler plates are being used, ensure that the
knife is retracted against the filler plates on a daily
basis and make sure the power switch for the
cutterbar is SWITCHED OFF.
Skids
The skids underneath the cutterbar should be
set to suit the local conditions i.e stones, loose
soil, etc. It is recommended that they are lifted
right up in abrasive conditions.
VARIO (if fitted)
VARIO cutterbars allow the operator to vary the position of the knife to suit different
crop conditions. In short crops the knife can be retracted by up to 10cm and extended
by 20cm from its ‘normal’ position for taller crops. For extremely tall crops such as
Oilseed Rape the knife can be extended by 50cm from it’s normal position, in
conjunction with the fitment of filler plates.
Check the hydraulic oil in the oil
tank on the back of the cutterbar
daily.
When using the cutterbar in normal
conditions the knife positions can
be saved as part of the pre-set
working positions.
