OPERATING THE MOWER
Release lock by applying pressure with the hand palm
(arrow 1) and fold front safety bar (V) downwards (arrow
2) (photo 35) till it is automatically locked in working
position.
ENSURE THAT THE SAFETY
CURTAIN IS COMPLETELY IN
PLACE AROUND THE CUTTER-
BAR.
Safety curtain will avoid projection of most foreign
objects.
Always allow a few minutes for oil to spread in the
cutterbar before engaging PTO when changing cutterbar
from transport to operating position.
Before cutting, engage tractor PTO and slowly increase
speed up to 540 rpm.
Do not be disturbed by the high pitched whine of the
discs. This will be reduced to some extent when
cutting.
Forward speed must be adapted to working conditions and should be reduced when mowing dense crops.
Check correct fixation of plugs (C) (photo 35) on the outer and inner disc cone.
Replace lost or worn plugs immediately.
ADVERSE FIELD CONDITIONS
NEVER MOW IN STONY OR ROCKY GROUNDS.
Extra care and precautions should be taken in rough or debris-ridden fields. The following adjustments should be
made to the mower in these conditions to minimize the possibility of foreign objects being deflected by the cutting
knives.
1° Tilt the angle of the cutterbar back towards the horizontal position by turning the top link handle (H) (photo 29,
page 22 and photo 30 page 23) to raise the cutting height of the knives.
2° Reduce the forward speed.
3° Make sure the cutting knives can pivot if an obstruction is hit.
NEVER OPERATE THE MOWER WITHOUT THE PLASTIC COVER IN PLACE. DO NOT
LEAN AGAINST OR STAND ON THE GUARD COVER.
