4.1 PREPARING FOR WORK
The manufacturer guarantees that the machine is fully operational and has been checked
according to quality control procedures and is ready for use. This does not release the user
from an obligation to check the machine's condition after delivery and before first use. The
machine is delivered to the user completely assembled.
Before connecting to tractor, machine operator must check the technical condition of the
mower and prepare it for test start-up. In order to do this:
•
the user must carefully read this Operator's Manual and observe all
recommendations, understand the design and the principle of machine operation
•
check the condition of protective paint coat,
•
Inspect machine's individual components for mechanical damage resulting from
incorrect transport (dents, piercing, bent or broken components),
•
check all the lubrication points, lubricate the machine as needed according to
recommendations provided in section 5 "MAINTENANCE"’,

•
check if cutting blades, cutter bar, lifting arms and safety guards are correctly
installed,
•
check technical condition of hitching system pins and locking cotter pins,
•

If all the above checks have been performed and there is no doubt as to the machine's good
technical condition, it can be connected to tractor. Start the tractor's engine, check all
systems and perform a test run before beginning work. In order to inspect:
•
