Safety
Obey safety instructions
Obey the safety instructions at the execution of all work. Any disregard
for safety instructions can lead to serious or fatal injuries.
»Safety instructions«, see page 8.
Wear safety shoes
During all jobs at the machine never bring your feet under the machine
and always wear safety shoes, to decrease the risk of serious injuries.
Switch off the tractor and secure it
Never work at a running machine, make sure that:
> All hydraulic systems are switched off.
> The engine is switched off.
> The ignition key is removed.
> The electronic systems are switched off.
> The tractor is secured from rolling away.
In case of negligence, serious or deadly injuries can occur.
Check all hydraulic connections
Before use, check if all hydraulic connections are fitted correctly to the
corresponding single acting valves at the tractor. Incorrect connected
hydraulic hoses can cause unpredictable movements of the machine,
which may result in serious or fatal injuries.
Top link and lower
links adjustment
The mowing angle can be adjusted by setting the top link and the
lower links of the tractor.
Standard fixed hitch
frame
The top link and the lower links of the tractor have to be set in such a
way that the machine always stays horizontal when lowering or lifting.
This also avoids irregular running of the PTO drive shaft. The machine
may tilt a slightly forward when lowered in operating position.
N
OTE
