After all hydraulic pressure is released, disconnect all hydraulic lines from the tractor.
Then disconnect the 7 pin lighting plug. Finally disconnect the PTO shaft followed by
the top-link and lift arms and drive away from the mower.
8.2 Conditioner adjustment
To change the conditioner speed, lift the curtain and side cover beside the gearbox to
expose the nearest drum, which must be rotated a little to allow the gears to re-mesh
as the lever is moved from one speed to the other.
8.3 Swath width adjustment
The swath width can be adjusted between 1.3 and 2.3 m wide. The adjustment is
achieved by loosening the eye bolts holding the swath plates on each side and
adjusting them in or out in the slots provided. The position within the slots should be
balanced each side to keep the swath central.
The deflector plate on the rear helps control the height of the swath and the angle can
be adjusted. Once the desired setting is reached, then the eye bolts should be
tightened securely using a short lever.
CAUTION: Ensure the tractor is shut down
Ensure that the tractor engine has been shut down, the key removed
and the brakes applied before carrying out the following procedure.
Conditioner plate: Varying the distance between
the rotor flails and the conditioning plate affects the
amount of crop conditioning as it passes through
the gap. There are six specific lever positions or
settings available. The - and + symbol indicates
less or more aggressive, depending on the degree
of conditioning desired for the crop being cut.
Conditioner speed: Varying the conditioner speed
also affects the amount of crop conditioning as it
passes through. There are two specific lever
positions or settings available. The 700 and 1,000
symbol indicates less or more aggressive,
depending on the degree of conditioning desired
for the crop being cut.
CAUTION: Ensure the tractor is shut down
Ensure that the tractor engine has been shut down, the key removed
