Stop the tractor before
working on the machine
Be careful! Always let the tractor
come to a stop and remove the
ignition key before you repair,
rinse, lubricate or carry out any
maintenance work on the
machine.
Ensure no clothing/body parts
get caught in the PTO shaft
Guards may not be removed or
opened until the machine has
stopped rotating. The tractor
engine must be stopped, the
ignition key removed
and the handbrake applied.
Read and observe the
instruction manual
Be careful! Read and ensure you
understand the instruction
manual before the machine is
used.
Risk from loose chippings
Keep a safe distance from the

Use the correct support for the
machine
Your body could become caught!
Never work under the machine
without using the correct support.
The tractor engine must be
stopped, the ignition key
removed and the handbrake
applied.
Ensure no body parts get
caught in the transmission
Guards may not be removed or
opened until the machine has
stopped
rotating. The tractor engine must
be stopped, the ignition key
removed
and the handbrake applied.
Your body could become
caught
The machine mast never be
uncoupled in the transport
position. The machine will
become unstable and may
overturn.
Reflective equipment for slow-
moving vehicles – SMV
This triangular sign must be
placed in the center at the rear of
the tractor or machine, so that it
is clearly visible at all times when
the machine is in the transport
position. This sign is compulsory
for machines that are being
transported at speeds of below
40 km/h (25 mph) on public
roads.

Crane lifting safety Crane lifting safety
Only use approved lifting equipment which is correctly
fastened to the machine. This will increase your personal
safety. Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in
serious injuries or accidents.
Crane lifting

Assembly - attachment
Preparation Preparation
Adjusting lift arms Crossbar
• Swing the lower link crossbar
to the side or remove the
lower link crossbar.
• Bring the lift arms on the
same height
Preparation Preparation
Stabiliser chains Checking the PTO shaft length
• Tighten the tractor's
stabilizer chains.
• Because of the increase in
weight, it is recommended
that the tractor's left-hand
stabilizer chain is tightened
up more than usual, so
that the machine is pulled
as tight as possible to the
tractor.
• Pull the PTO shaft apart.
• Fit one half on the tractor's PTO outlet.
• Fit the other half on the machine's PTO
input shaft.
• Position the two halves of the shaft
side by side and:
• Check that the halves of the shaft have
a minimum overlap of 200 mm (8”) [b].
• Check that the PTO shaft has a
minimum clearance of 20 mm (7/8”) [a].
• Shorten both profile tubes and the
protective tube by the same amount.
• DE burr the ends of both profile tubes.
• Clean any metal shavings or similar
from the profile tubes.
• Grease the sliding surfaces of the
profile tubes thoroughly.
• Fit and connect the two halves of the
shaft.

Preparation
Checking the springs
The following must be done
before the machine is connected
to the tractor:
• Pull the piston in the hydraulic
cylinder out completely.
• Check that the machine is
fitted with the correct springs:
• If the above conditions are not
met, the machine will not be
able to work satisfactorily.
The machine is fitted with linkage
pins which can be changed as
shown.
The linkage pins are changed in
the following way:
• Use a suitable tool to loosen
the bolts on the linkage pins.
• Remove the linkage pins and
change them.
• Fit the linkage pins.
• Use a grease gun and pump a
suitable quantity of grease
into the holes shown.
• This lubrication should be
carried out the first time the
Machine is put into use.

• Fit the bolts and tighten to the
torque shown.

• Turn the support leg around
and raise it up as shown.
• Mount the machine onto the
tractor's lift arms.
• Selecting the position of the
top link:
TIP! It is recommended that the
top link is parallel to the tractor's
lift arms.

Parking catch
Attachment
Stabilizer chains
• Lift the machine well clear of
the ground.
• Tighten the tractor's stabilizer
chains.
Release the parking catch on the
machine.
• Turn the catch to the position
shown.
• The catch must be able to be
turned to the position shown
when the machine is attached
and is lifted free of the ground
with the tractor's three-point
hitch.
Assembly - attachment
• Attach the PTO shaft to the
tractor.
• Check that the PTO shaft is
secured to both the tractor
and machine.
• Check that the protective
tubes are secured with chains
so that cannot rotate with the
shaft.
• The freewheel on the PTO
shaft should turn towards the
machine.
The suspension is adjusted in the
following way:
• Lifting bolts both horizontal.
• Raise/lower the lift arms until
there is approx. 15 - 30 mm
(5/8” - 1 3/16”) clearance
between the lock catch and
the stop.

Chain for locking the lift arms
(option)
• The machine can be equipped
with a chain to prevent the
tractor's lift arms from
lowering. The chain is fitted
between the highest point on
the tractor and one of the lift
arms.
To ensure that the cutting unit is
correctly balanced, the springs
should be pre-tensioned in the
following way:
• If lower ground pressure is
required, the distance shown
must be reduced.
• If higher ground pressure is
required, the distance shown
must be increased.
Assembly - attachment
•The machine's spring must
not be detached, under any
circumstances. If an
attempt to detach it is
made, large amounts of
energy which are stored in
the spring will be suddenly
released and can cause
serious injuries or death.
•Only authorized persons
may detach this
component.
Option but standard for the US
and Canada.
• The spring catch keeps the
machine in position in relation to
the tractor. If the machine meets
an obstacle, release the catch,
and the machine will swing
behind. After the obstacle has
been passed, the suspension
spring will pull the machine back
and the catch will automatically
lock again. The spring catch is
factory fitted as shown.
• The spring catch must be
tightened to a maximum of 62
mm (2 7/16”), otherwise the catch
may lock.
• On hilly ground, it is possible that
the spring lock may be tightened
further during use. It is
recommended that the screw be
tightened by one turn and then
the setting checked.

Lower stubble height High skids (option) High skids (option)Higher stubble height
• Shorten the top link for a
lower stubble height • Extend the top link for a higher stubble height • There are 2 skids on the
outer ends of the cutterbar
and they are replacing a
standard skid.
Assembly - attachment
The skids are available in the
following heights:
• 20 mm (3/4”)
• 40 mm (1 9/16”)
• 80 mm (3 1/8”)
High skids are recommended
for uneven fields with lots of
stones or molehills.
Note; 20 mm. (3/4”) is standard
for the US and Canada
