Mulching
If the mowing material is only to be cut off, chopped to smaller pieces
and deposited back on the ground, the flap which is normally used to
guard the rotor when the hopper is raised can also remain closed
during mowing.
To set the flap, the operating lever is swung upwards (Fig. 6.4-1) and
secured in the locking slot provided (Fig. 6.4-2). The mulch flap is
reset to its normal position when the hopper is raised or lowered.
The machine should always be raised and lowered evenly, i.e. care
should be taken to keep the machine as level as possible in every
lifting position. If the machine is raised too much on one side only,
whether at the front or rear, damage may be caused to the PTO shaft,
if the machine is still running.
When the machine is in the working position, the hydraulic lines for
the height-adjustable guide wheels must be unpressurised. Other-
wise, on uneven terrain, the cage roller may be raised off the ground
unintentionally and, as a result, the cutting height will be uneven.
