Rotor safety system

A shear bolt safety system protects the rotor drive.

Shear bolt replacement

- Use mowing unit lift cylinder to lift the mowing unit.
- Position 2 blocks between ground and cutterbar (1).
- Shut-off mowing unit lift cylinder lock valves (2).

The rotor safety system is fitted with 3 nuts.

Nuts are spaced at 120°.

If all 3 nuts have been used, replace them (See
chapter : Maintenance and storage /
Maintenance / Rotor safety system /
Replacement of the rotor safety system nuts).

Immediately replace worn or damaged parts
with original manufacturer parts.
