IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS
1) Before starting work, lower the cutterbar onto the
ground and check that :
a) All safety guards have been lowered into work
position.
b) All safety curtains are fastened together with
the straps provided.
2) - The high pitched whine generated by the high
frequency of the discs will be considerably re-
duced when cutting.
- It is worthwhile to work with sharp knives.
- Adjusting the suspension system to lighten the
cutting/conditioning unit’s weight on the ground
allows the skids to glide over the ground without
damaging the grass stubble.
- It is important to retighten all bolts and nuts after
the first 2 - 3 hours of use.
3) Secondary PTO shaft
Retighten the conical bolts (4) of the
clamp yokes after the first day of use
(torque 15 daNm / 110 ft.lbs).
