SAFETY BREAK-AWAY
A breakaway latch allows the cutterbar to swing back
if an obstruction is hit (photo 31).
IF THE LATCH RELEASES, STOP THE TRACTOR
IMMEDIATELY AND DISENGAGE THE PTO.
To reset the cutterbar, back the mower until the
cutterbar is in its normal position.
The factory setting of the latch is adapted to most
working conditions.
NOTE
: Before using the mower, the break-away
linkage must be checked for good operation making
sure all components slide correctly and are well
greased. Check for any cutterbar damage if an obs-
truction is encountered.
For the
GMD 600
and
GMD 700
, the stack of spring washers should be compressed to 95 mm ( 3 3/4") (fig. 3).
Observe spring-washer arrangement in fig. 3 (photo 32) carefully.
If after resetting, the cutterbar continues to break away, the pressure of spring assembly (A) (photo 32) can be
increased, but in all cases stacking must not be less than 91 mm (3 2/3"), as otherwise safety disengagement cannot
function.
