Preparing the mower for work
WARNING!
Before sale SaMASZ protects the cylinders with special grease against weather
which may cause premature wear. Before operating the mower, remove the
exceess grease from the cylinders.
Put the mower into motion when the cutterbar is on the ground so that oil can fill the whole cutterbar.
When the mower is in working position, please do the following:
❑
be sure cutterbar to the ground,
❑
connect PTO shaft between tractor and mower,
❑
by means of upper regulating bar of the mower, adjust the cutterbar’s height and inclination towards
the ground. Proper inclination of the cutterbar is between 0° and 5°. It is regulated by extending or
shortening the bar,
❑
slowly
engage the PTO clutch and wait until the cutting unit reaches its rated speed. Tractor’s
engine rpm should be considerably lower, so that the fuel consumption could be reduced,
❑
engage tractor gear and drive slowly into the grass-field. Flat meadows can be mowed with any
speed. If the meadow in uneven, reduce speed.
WARNING!
Do not operate the conveyor when it is in vertical position.
NOTICE:
DO NOT pull the cutterbar towards the tractor, because it will lead to cutterbar’s
premature wear or even its damage.
