ADJUSTING THE CUTTING HEIGHT
The cutting height is determined by the shims 1-2-
3-4-5, which are inserted between the wheel unit 6
and the axle 7 in various combinations.
These determine the different cutting positions
ranging from a minimum of 15 mm (5/8") to a max-
imum of 92 mm (3" 7/8).
To carry out this operation you should keep the
machine raised.
Remove the split pin 8 which secures the wheel
unit 6 to the axle 7.
Then select the position of the shims which allows
you to obtain the desired cutting height. Re-lock
wheel unit 6 with the split pin 8.
6.6.3
USE
When you wish to cut in the field, change the machine from its transport position to its working position.
Warning: Under no circumstances should anybody stand near the machine or any moving parts. It is the du-
ty of the operator to ensure that this requirement is respected.
In order to change the machine to its working position, operate the cylinders so that the safety cowls are re-
moved. Then use the cable to move the hooks and free the lock pins. Invert the movement of the hydraulic
cylinders to lower the arms with the side and rear cowls.
Continue to lower the cylinders until the cowl rests freely on the ground. The tie rod must be placed at the
end of the slot on the arm holding the cowl. Once the cowls have been placed on the ground, gently switch
on power take-off and then begin to cut. Pay attention to the overall dimensions of the machine and if neces-
sary, switch off power take-off and then raise the arms when the rotors have stopped, in order to avoid any
obstacles. Lower the cowls to the ground once more before starting work again.
