MANEUVERING ON FIELD EDGES AND
MOWING EMBANKMENTS
ADVERSE FIELD CONDITIONS
NEVER MOW IN STONY OR ROCKY GROUNDS.
Extra care and precautions should be taken in rough or debris-ridden fields. The following adjustments should be
made to the mower conditioner in these conditions to minimize the possibility of foreign objects being deflected by
the cutting knives.
1° Tilt the angle of the cutterbar back towards the horizontal position by turning the top link handle (P) (photo 25,
page 28) to raise the cutting height of the knives.
2° Reduce the forward speed.
3° Make sure the cutting knives can pivot if an obstruction is hit.
