After the mower has been attached to tractor, check the balance and steerability of tractor-mower
set. To do this, calculate to formulas given in the appendix or weigh the set, and then drive on the
scales only with front axis of the tractor (the mower must be in transport position – lifted upwards).
If the pressure on the front axis is at least 20 % of the whole set’s pressure, it means the set is
stable. If not, the front axis should be balanced.

Preparing the mower for transport
To prepare the mower for transport and to meet safety precautions, please do the following:
lift the mower with tractor hydraulic lift until the lower lift pins of the mower 3-point linkage
frame raise about 1' 8'' above the ground (
Fig. 11
),
lift support leg up and secure it with split cotter,
remove the pin
1
and put it into the bush
2
(
Fig. 9a
),
lift the cutterbar by hydraulic cylinder vertically until the pawl
Z
locks in (
Fig. 9b
),
secure the cutterbar against falling by the shut-off valve (
Fig. 10b
) placed on the mower’s
hydraulic cylinder.
WARNING:
During transport the shut-off valve of mower hydraulic lift should always be
closed – the valve lever in
Z
position (
Fig. 10
). It protects the mower against
incidental falling in case of hydraulic failure.
