ADJUSTMENTS
3) Cylinder stroke sensor for right-
hand cutting position
The rear cylinder (1) sets the position of the cutting/
conditioning unit relative to the drawbar :
- Fully retracted, cylinder (1) sets the unit to the left
side of the tractor for work.
- Fully extended, this cylinder places the unit in the
lengthway transport position.
- To mow at the tractor’s right, the cylinder (1) must
then be extended to an intermediary position which
is defined by the end position sensor (2) (P/N.
832 300 04). The sensor is activated by the core (3)
of the sliding rod (4) when the measure “A” = 557
mm / 1’10" is reached.
NOTE : The measure "A" = 557 mm / 1"10" is
preinstalled at factory.
4) Drawbar pressure pad adjustment
The preload applied by pushers (5) onto pressure
pad (6) is adjusted as follows :
- Rotate nuts (7) until all play has been taken up.
- Preload the conical spring washers (8) by retaining
the nuts (9) and tightening bolts (7) to a torque of
5 da N.m / 37 ft.lbs.
