GB OPERATION
1. Adjust cutting height by turning upper link
spindle (inclination of the cutting discs max.
5°).
2. To mow, gradually supply power to the p.t.o.
before entering the crop and bring the mowing
discs up to full revs.
Smoothly increase the p.t.o. speed, in order to avoid
noises in the free-wheel conditioned by the system.
- Adjust travel speed to terrain and crop.
Adjustment:
- Frame horizontal (15).
- Fix hydraulic lower links in a way that the machine
cannot swing out sideways.

Collision safety device
When mowing around trees, fences, boundary stones
etc., collisions between the cutter bar and obstacles
can occur despite careful and slow driving. Therefore,
in order to prevent such damage, collision protection
has been planned for the cutting device.
Attention!
It is not the intention of the collision safety
device to prevent damage to the machine
when working at full speed.
How the hydraulic collision safety device
functions
When a collision with an obstacle occurs, the cutter
bar swivels back far enough for it to pass by.
Then the cutter bar can be swivelled back hydraulically
into the operating position.
To do this, actuate the double-action control valve
(ST).
