Preparing mower for operation
NOTE:
During storing of the machines in company SaMASZ the cylinders are
protected by special grease in order to secure them against weather which
may cause their premature wear. Before starting the operation excess grease
should be removed from the cylinders
.
Follow items 5.1, 5.2, 5.4, upon performing these activities the mower is ready for operation.
Then:
open hydraulic valves (
Fig. 11
),
lower cutterbar freely until cutterbar touches the ground,
adjust the cutterbar setting with mower’s upper connector onto desired mowing height. Optimal
angle of cutterbar in relation to the ground should be between 0° and 5°. This angle is result of
tightening or extending the link,
with hydraulic cylinders mount the mower on either tractor's left or right,
set the desired cutting width by folding guides back (
Fig. 15
) under proper angle,
slowly engage the mower's PTO shaft drive until cutting discs reach their nominal rotating
speed.
NOTE:
Folding the mower back is forbidden, as it leads to faster wearing of the
cutterbar or even its damaging.
