Machine Settings & Adjustments
Before working on any component of an attached machine,
ensure that the tractor engine is turned off and the starter key
removed to prevent anyone else from starting the tractor whilst
it is being worked on.
WARNING: Always ‘park up’ on a suitable firm, level surface with the parking
brake applied, and ensure the machine has come to a complete stop before
adjusting or setting the machine.
WARNING: Before attempting to access the underside of the machine, ensure it
is adequately and safely supported. Do not rely on the tractor’s hydraulics. Use
safety supports that have a minimum Safe Working Load (SWL) of 1.5 tonnes.
Cutting Height Adjustment
The height of the pasture topper can be adjusted to cut at heights from 30mm to
150mm. This is achieved by moving the bolt-on skids at each side of the machine to
the desired height position
–
see photo below.
Request assistance when removing and replacing the skids,
they are heavy and may cause injury.
To adjust the cutting height:
o
Raise the machine on the tractor lift arms and support it on suitable safety
supports.
o
Remove the nuts, bolts and washers securing the skid to the machine.
o
Reposition the skid to the new desired position; use the cutting height decals on
the side of the machine (indicated in the photo above) as a guide.
o
Fit and tighten all nuts and bolts securely, see ‘Torque Settings’.
o
Repeat the process for the other skid, ensuring that both skids are at the same
height setting.
o
Raise the machine on the lift arms and remove the safety supports.
Re-try the machine and re-adjust the skid height if the cutting height is still not
suitable.
