STENSBALLE rotary mowers

Operating Instructions

GB

Daily use

The following applies to mowers where the cutting height is adjusted by 

means of hydraulics controlled from the tractor cab.

1.  Lower the mower to the lowest position and activate the hydraulics 

for 10-20 seconds until all the adjustment cylinders are completely 

in the outer position, and no air is left in the system. Use this 

method to reset the cutting height, so all the cutting units are at 

exactly the same height.

2.  Raise the mower to the desired cutting height. Use the guide scale 

on the inner, left cylinder.

If there is a difference in height, you can reset the system by lowering 

the cutting height all the way to the bottom position, and activate the 

hydraulics until all the cutting units are at the bottom, and no air is left in 

the system. You can now set the height as described above.

Before you start the machine, you should inspect the working area and 

remove any foreign objects.

If the machine is hydraulically driven, you must ensure that you are 

well-acquainted with the machine's hydraulic functions.

STENSBALLE mowers are only designed to mow grass and no other 

forms of vegetation. Avoid mowing areas with more robust vegetation. 

Pay attention to any foreign objects and avoid them as much as 

possible. Mowing in areas with more robust vegetation will lead to 

greater wear on the blades and may lead to undue damage to the 

machine and mean that your warranty will be voided.

Mowing in high and/or thick grass restricts the forward driving speed. 

We recommend a speed range of 4-10 km/h. As the owner of this 

mower, you should be careful to maintain the nominal rpm, despite 

the load on the mower.

The machine must run on its own wheels while mowing. It must not 

hang in the tractor's hitch.

Central, hydraulic 

height adjustment

Type: BR/LM, FR/LM, FR/

LH, R3H, Triplex C

CAUTION

Foreign objects can cause major damage to the rotor 

blades and other parts in the transmission. 

If the rotor blades collect foreign objects, stop and 

clean the mower immediately.
