MOWING
General guidelines for working with the
implement
- The mower unit is suitable for an upward inclination of
22° resp. downward 30° angle of repose.
Anti-collision device
When mowing around trees, fences, boundary stones
etc., collisions between the cutter bar and obstacles
can occur despite careful and slow driving. So in order
to prevent such damage, an anti-collision device has
been provided for the mower.
Beware! It is not the purpose of the collision safety
device to prevent damage to the machine when
working at full speed.
- The overload safety (34) allows the mower bars to swivel
back when running into an obstacle.
- If you drive backwards, the overload safety snaps back
in.
Setting:
If the impact safety is too little operated, the hexagonal
nut can be twisted.

If you are not sure whether the cutting area
is really free of obstacles, please work at an
appropriate slow speed!

Set the ground bearing load of the mower bar

H1 + reduce bearing pressure
H1 – increase bearing pressure
4. For mowing, slowly engage the p.t.o. shaft
away from the crop and bring the mower rotor
up to full speed.
Smoothly increasing the p.t.o. speed will avoid system-
related noises from the p.t.o. free-wheel.
- The driving speed depends on the ground conditions
and the crop to be mown.

• Single-action hydraulic control valve (ST) on "LOWER"
• Double-action hydraulic control valve (ST) on "Floating
position"
Reversing
Raise the mower when reversing!
