Overview
The mower unit is designed for the attachment of either a
tine conditioner, a roller conditioner or a swath former. The
conditioners or swath formers are additionally designed as
a safety device and are imperative for use.
Left-Right-Balance
The left-right balance is basically set by default and you
do not have to worry about it.
However, when switching between swath former and
conditioner operation, it is important to note that a swath
former requires counterweights.
If the mower is operated with conditioner, you do not
need balance weights to keep the left-right balance.
• If the mower is operated with a swath former,
mount all balance weights (1) supplied and check
the balance.
Remove conditioner
DANGER

designed safeguards for this type of opera-
tion must be fitted to the mower bar.

These safety elements are not included in
the scope of delivery for a new machine with

ditionally (see spare parts list, component:
