Preparation for use
35
General
For the realization of all preparations counts:
•
Secure the machine
•
Check the tractor’s tyre pressure
The following settings have to be realized before using the machine:
•
top and lower link adjustment
•
hitching frame adjustment
Top and lower link
adjustment
The top link and the lower links must be positioned with respect to
each other in order to ensure the mowing unit stays horizontally when
lifted in working position.
Top link adjustment
The mowing angle is set via the top link.
Adjust the top link to ensure the machine is level or slightly tilted
forward.
> Fit the top link so, that the machine is horizontal and does not tilt
backward
> Turn the top link out = machine tilts backward
> Turn the top link in = machine tilts forward
> Ensure the top link is blocked to guarantee the same mowing angle
T
IP
To avoid recutting, the mowing unit shall never be tilted backwards.
Lower link
adjustment
The lower links must be at the same height.
Before hitching the machine:
> ensure that both left and right lower link are at the same height
> Put the machine in working position
