REAR DISC MOWER
OPERATOR'S MANUAL
❑
connect the articulated telescopic shaft end onto the PTO of the tractor (if one end was
disconnected) or connect both ends of the shaft,
❑
push the button (
3
)
on the control panel (
) for setting pressure in hydro-pneumatic
system,
❑
using tractor's hydraulic valve lever set the pressure until mower's cutterbar is slightly chattered.
Gas pressure in the accumulator and in the entire system should be set, depending on the mower
model (
),
❑
turn off the button (
3
)
on the control panel
(
CAUTION: Otherwise automatic override to working
position will follow after 1 minute
),
❑
slowly turn on the power to the mower bringing the cutting discs to the nominal rotational speed of
the PTO of 950 - 1000 rpm. The rpm's should be as low as possible to decrease tractor fuel
consumption,
❑
engage tractor gear and drive slowly into the grass-field. Flat meadows can be mowed at any driving
speed, while in uneven terrain the speed should be adjusted to working conditions to minimize the
likeliness of risk.
NOTICE:
Too great pressure in support unit of cutterbars disables lowering of cutterbars from
transport to working position.
NOTICE:
Increasing pressure
–
lower impact on the ground.
Reducing pressure
–
bigger impact on the ground.
WARNING!
Improper unloading of the mower's cutterbar will result in increased pressure of
the bar onto the ground which may result in: faster wearing of sliding skids,
overloading the cutterbar, increasing fuel consumption, damaging the turf and
causing contamination to forage.
NOTICE:
After switching button (
3
)
to ON (
4
) position the automatic override to OFF (
5
)
position will follow after 1 minute - even without the need of the operator's action.
WARNING!
Making the oil flow from the tractor to working system will cause increase of
pressure in the system.
WARNING!
Tilting the mower back is forbidden as it will cause faster wear or even damage
of the cutterbar.
