- Depress the cutting device from the ground and secure with the handle for the transport position (fig.
3, item8)
- Use the hydraulics to lift the mower in the upper position, and then make the chain shortening (figure
3, item 6) to the required transport length, thus releasing the tractor hydraulic system.
MAINTENANCE OF THE MOWER
The mower should be neatly lubricated and properly adjusted. Lubrication of the mower should be a
constant practice, as this will prolong its lifetime. Before starting the work, it is necessary to lubricate
all lubrication points, the nozzle, which connects the movable lath with the crank lever and other
sliding joints.
For lubrication, use multi-purpose lubricant. A spherical ball sphere has a slit that serves to bring
lubricant to the joint.
Checking the belt tension and tightening them is done as follows:
- Remove three M8x25 screws securing the belt guard and then remove the guard.
- Press the straps with your hand and check how far they are. The correct belt loosening is 10 mm (see
Figure 6).
NOTE:
- When replacing worn-out belts, replace both straps regardless of the state of one against the other.
- After completion of the previous operations, install the belt guard.
Adjusting the gap on the cutting machine
After a longer period of use, the quality of mowing decreases due to the wear of the cutting machine
guide. Carefully clean the cutting machine and then slip the sliding joints, so that the cutting blade can
be easily started. Adjusting the gap between the guides is performed as follows:
- Check for proper clearance between the movable knife and the fixed knife on the double finger (see
fig. 7, items 1 and 2).
- If the clearance does not exist beneath the inner guides (figure 8, item 4), insert the adjusting pads
(fig. 8, item 6). When inserting the pads it is necessary to unscrew the screw (fig. 8, item 5) and
remove the outer and inner guide (Fig. 8, item 3 and 4) and then return the inner guide.
