1. INTRODUCTION
ADJUSTMENT
IMPORTANT:
Before adjusting the machine, always:
- Disengage the PTO from the tractor.
- Stop the tractor engine
- Wait until all moving parts have stopped.
It is important not to remove the guards until all revolving parts have stopped. This
especially applies to the delivery chute above the blade cylinder.
If the cutting parts in the blade cylinder must be adjusted or replaced, it is important
to block the blade cylinder as the sharp blades can easily cause injury.
Before working check that the feed rollers and the blade cylinder can move freely.
Also check that the blades are intact and without cracks. Damaged blades must be
replaced to prevent them from blocking or damaging the machine and to avoid metal
parts being thrown out from the delivery chute.
Check periodically if blades and blade bolts are worn according to the rules in the
instruction manual.
The first time you use the machine the blades and blade bolts may "bed in". For this
reason you must check and tighten the blade bolts after the first working hour.
When lifting the delivery chute above the blade cylinder make sure that nobody is in
danger of being hit by the guard. When lifting the guard, hold on to the hoop which is
fastened to the intermediate guard with both hands.
TRANSPORT
Limit the transport speed to maximum 30 km/h if the machine has not been marked
with another maximum speed limit.
Always check that mechanical transport safety devices are activated before transport
with trailed implements.
