Hydrostat speed control belt tension
• Before the belts can be removed, all belt catchers must first be moved back by loosening
all M8 bolts.
• Replace the belts with belts of a similar type and length. (type xxx)
• Now apply the proper amount of tension on the belt again (read § 11.4.3).
• After putting the belts back on, the belt catcher needs to be replaced so as to prevent the
belts from coming off when decoupling. They should be put on such that there is about
5mm remaining between the pulley and belt catcher.
• After calibrating and testing the belt tension, replace the protective covers.

Setting cutter plate
• Place the machine on an even, paved surface (e.g. concrete or asphalt, etc.).
• Turn off the engine.
• Partially loosen the 2 skid shoes by undoing the 2 M8 bolts per shoe.
• The 7 M8 bolts on the blade under the cutter head must then also be undone (not fully).
• Turn the ignition on without starting the engine. This enables the position of the cutter
head to be controlled.
• Lower the cutter head until a space of 5mm has been reached on both sides between the
frame of the cutter head and the ground.
• Lock this position by pushing both skid shoes onto the ground and then securing with the
M8 bolts.
• The blade is then positioned so that there is a margin of 2mm; the blade is then secured
with the M8 bolts.
• Note: it may be handy to secure the outer bolts first and then set the cutter head to its
highest position before securing the other bolts.
