4 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Check before use
Before you operate the disc mower-conditioner for the first
time, perform the following items:
• Read this operator's manual carefully; especially the
chapter headed ”Safety information”.
• Check the correct assemblage of the implement. Also
check that the implement is undamaged.
• Check that no parts have been tied up inside the imple-
ment in connection with the delivery of the implement.
• Check that the protection (guards and canvases) on the
implement are complete, intact and correctly mounted,
and that the side guards are folded down. Canvases
and shields secure against ejection of stones and for-
eign matter.
• Check the revolving parts (blades, blade bolts, discs
and flow caps). Replace damaged, worn or missing
parts immediately.
• Check the correct installation of the discs and the
blades.
• Check the correct installation of the safety devices.
Also check if the safety devices are intact.
• Remove all the tools from the implement, including the
quick-change blade tool.
• Check that the Power Take-Off (PTO) speed of the im-
plement (and of the tractor) is correct. Too high PTO
speed can be dangerous. Too low PTO speed causes
bad cutting, blocking of the disc mower and high torque
on the drive shafts.
• Make sure that the tractor is capable of maintaining the
specified
1000 RPM
with no load on the implement.
• Check the length of the primary PTO shaft. If the PTO
shafts is too short or too long it may damage the trac-
tor as well as the implement considerably. Check that
the protection tubes do not get jammed or damaged in
any position. Secure the safety chains of the protection
tubes properly. Check that the safety chains do not in
any position get too tight or damaged.
