- Place the end of the control cord for locking the ram in the
tractor cab.
- Check if the lever arms remain at an equal height when the
cutter bar is folded up.
3 TRANSPORT
The SPLENDIMO L disc mower can be transported on the
tractor’s 3-point hitch.
- Pull up the locking hook for the hydraulic ram and retract
the ram completely.
- Check if the ram is secured by the locking hook (fig. 6).
•
Use all such lighting and warning signals as are man-
datory by law.
• For transport on public roads: make sure that the front
axle weight is sufficient (fit front weights, if necessary)
and that the rear axle weight allowed as a maximum is
not exceeded.
The machine is now ready for transport.
4 MACHINE ADJUSTMENTS
- Pull up the locking hook of the hydraulic ram and lower the
cutter bar carefully by means of the ram.
- Adjust the tractor hitch in such a way that the hinge pin of
the intermediate chassis has a height of 55 cm over ground
level (fig. 5). Take tractor wheelings into account.
Limit a downward movement with, for example, a stabili-
sation chain (optional extra) if it is impossible to maintain
the adjusted height of the tractor hitch.
- Adjust the mowing height by adjusting the forward inclina-
tion of the cutter bar with the aid of the top link (fig. 7).
When steep slopes are mown, crop flow through may be
affected by the swathboard. If so, remove the swathboard
and its support.
