Mowing
Start mowing
> Switch on the PTO at a low tractor engine rpm, to avoid damages
to the machine driveline due to the mass inertia of machine parts.
> Use the manual throttle at the tractor to keep a constant PTO
speed of 1000 rpm (or 740 rpm in case of a 740 rpm drive set [+]).
> Lower the 3-point hitch and be sure that the mowing drums are
rotating at full speed (PTO at max. 1000 rpm or 740 rpm) before
entering the crop.
> Start driving with a recommended speed between 8 and 12 km/h.
> During mowing, regularly check if the machine does not tilt
forwards or backwards. Adjust the settings if required.
Headland driving
> Swith off the tractor PTO.
> When the machine has come to a complete stand still, use the
3-point hitch to lift the machine.
> Take curves always with a low speed, especially when making tight
curves and during turning around.
End of the job
> Switch off the tractor PTO.
> When the machine has come to a complete stand still, use the
3-point hitch to lift the machine.
> Fold up and lock both lateral guards (1).
