ADJUSTMENTS
Never adjust the mower while the PTO drive shaft is engaged. Stop the tractor
engine before you adjust the machine. It is important not to remove the guards until
all revolving parts have stopped.
Before starting check that no blades are missing or are defective and can be turned
freely. Likewise, check that the blade holders are not loose or defective. Replace
damaged blades and blade holders. (See section 5: MAINTENANCE)
Check periodically if blades and blade bolts are worn according to the rules in the
instruction manual. (See section 5: MAINTENANCE)
TRANSPORT
If you wish to transport the machine on the public road, please make sure that the
combination tractor and machine observes the traffic rules in your country. This gives
you and your surroundings the best possible safety.
As an example the following should be checked:
The lighting and warning panels are correctly mounted
The allowable transport dimensions and weights are observed
The tractor and machine combination has sufficient braking capacity
Always adjust the driving speed to the conditions of the road. In case of bad road
conditions and high driving speeds, big forces may occur and cause overload of
tractor and machine. The speed should always be adjusted according to the road and
weather conditions.
Always check that mechanical transport safety devices are activated before
transport.
WORKING IN THE FIELD
The machine should only be put into operation according to instructions from the
dealer or the service engineer of the company.
Before working check blades, blade holders, discs and guide shoes for cracks and
other damage. Replace damaged parts.
Check periodically if blades and blade holders are worn according to the rules in the
instruction manual. (See section on maintenance)
Loose stones and foreign matter in the field might get in contact with the revolving
parts and get thrown out again at a very high speed. Therefore, all guards must
always be correctly mounted and intact when you are working with the machine.
