OPERATING THE MOWER
E N S U R E T H A T T H E S A F E T Y
CURTAIN IS COMPLETELY IN
PLACE AROUND THE CUTTER-
BAR.
- Safety curtain will avoid projection of most foreign
objects.
- Always allow a few minutes for oil to spread in the
cutterbar before engaging PTO when changing
cutterbar from transport to operating position. Before
cutting, engage tractor PTO and slowly increase
speed (rotational frequency) up to 540 rpm (min
-1
).
- Forward speed must be adapted to working condi-
tions.
- During work the tractor valve should always be
in the detented free floating position to ensure
mower will follow variations in ground contour.
- When manoeuvring on headlands, the cutterbar
is raised and lowered using the mower hydrau-
lic cylinder (photo 32). The lift linkage is conceived
to clear the main frame from the ground at the same
time as the cutterbar lifts itself. To do this, activate
the hydraulic cylinder until the cylinder parking latch
(S) comes up against the stop (photo 31).
