These recommendations and adjustments must be respected to avoid damage or
premature wear of the PTO. Repeat these checks when the machine is fitted to any other
tractor.
Only attach the FC 240 P to the 540 rpm PTO and the FC 280 P to the 1000 rpm PTO.
To avoid accidents which could be serious, make sure that the guards are always correctly
in place and secured with the safety chains (C). On the machine side the chain should be
fixed onto the oscillating arm grommet (photo N). Replace the guards immediately as soon
as they have been damaged.
TRANSPORT
WARNING : WAIT UNTIL DISCS AND ROTOR COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE
RAISING THE CUTTING CONDITIONING UNIT INTO THE VERTICAL POSITION.
BE SURE THAT EVERYONE IS AT A SAFE DISTANCE FROM THE MOWER CONDITIONER
PIVOTING AREA.
WARNING : BEFORE TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE ON THE PUBLIC HIGHWAY, THE
OPERATOR SHOULD MAKE SURE THAT THE MACHINE CONFORMS TO THE HIGHWAY
CODE.
To transport the machine on public roads or from one field to another, proceed as follows :
- Make sure discs and rotor have come to a complete stop.
- Lift the machine using the tractor 3-point linkage
- Pressurize the hydraulic cylinders to lift the cutting conditioning unit into its vertical position.
- The cutting conditioning unit will lift and simultaneously pivot towards the rear.
- Once the cutterbar has reached the end of its trajectory,
release hydraulic pressure
and the cutterbar will be
automatically locked in place (photo 20).
Never operate the PTO shafts at too great an angle (X = 25° maximum) (fig. M).
