B) Attaching the machine
- Attach the lower links (A) to the hitch pins and
secure with linchpins (photo E).
Select the attachment holes of the turn buckle
(P) on the tractor side and machine side (D) so
that it is approximately parallel with the tractor
lower draught arms (A) in working position and
in raised position (photo E).
- Connect hydraulic hose (H) to the tractors
single
acting valve
(photo E). First make sure that the
hydraulic connection is clean ; if not, cylinders may
not function correctly.
C) Adjusting cutting / conditioning unit
horizontal position
- Activate the tractors hydraulic lift mechanism and
check that the 3-point frame is lifted parallel to the
ground (photo F). If necessary, adjust levelling rods
(F) (photo E).
If, once this adjustment has been made, the cutting/
conditioning unit is still not parallel to the 3-point
frame, level it by adjusting threaded cylinder rod (V)
(photo F).
D) Raising cutting / conditioning unit
and parking stand
NOTE : ONLY OPERATE THE PARKING STAND
(L) WHEN THE CUTTING CONDITIONING
UNIT IS IN THE VERTICAL TRANSPORT
POSITION (COMPENSATING SPRING
IS RELEASED).
- Activate the machines hydraulic cylinders to bring
the cutting/conditioning unit into its vertical posi-
tion.
- With the machine in the transport position (cutter-
bar vertical), raise the stand (E) and connect it to the
suspension rod (F) using pin (L) (photo G).
(
Note : The PTO shaft must be adapted
at a later stage. Correct length can-
not be checked as long as the cut-
ting / conditioning unit is in horizon-
tal position.
