3. DRIVING AND OPERATION

A forward inclination of about 3º results in a theoretical stubble height of 27 mm.
The forward or backward inclination of the suspension should not exceed 3º since
this would result in a deviation of the PTO shaft and consequently vibrations and
increased wear. Furthermore guide shoes, discs and blades are quickly worn if the
cutting height is low and there is a risk of crop contamination.
If you want an extra high stubble, e.g. when topping fallow fields, high guide shoes
can be mounted. See spare parts book.
SECURING AGAINST OVERLOAD
IMPORTANT:
The tractor driver can secure the transmission against overload!
When using the machine, the following should be considered:
1) Always start the machine with the engine running at low speed. This especially
applies to tractors with electro-hydraulic connection of the PTO shaft.
2) Only start the machine with the cutting units lowered to working position.
3) A sudden increase in the number of RPM of the machine, e.g. when driving into
the field or after turning in the field should also happen with the machine
lowered to working position.
4) Listen to the RPM of the tractor when working in the field. If the number of RPM
falls slowly or is suddenly reduced it may be a sign of overload of the
transmission due to too high driving speed or foreign matter in the cutting unit.
In this case, the friction clutch will slip and you should disconnect the PTO
immediate
ly and let the machine “rest”.
