Do not wear loose clothing which might catch in any of the moving
parts. In dusty conditions a suitable mask to EN 149 must be used.
Take care of excessive sound level. Certain tractor/implement combi-
nations, dependant on operating conditions, may generate a noise
level in excess of 85 dB at the operator’s ear, even in a ’Q’ cab. In
these circumstances ear defenders must be worn. Keep cab windows
and doors &/26(' at all times to reduce noise level.

Check that the machine is correctly assembled and that no damages
have occurred. As to machines with hydraulic stabilizer, make sure
thatthehydraulichoseislongenoughtoallowthecylindermovement.
Check that the machine is set up for the required PTO speed, i.e. ei-
ther 540 or 1000 RPM.
Be very careful when the machine is attached to the tractor. If the at-
tachment is not correct, the machine will not work properly.

Be very careful when the PTO shaft is fitted. A too short or too long
PTO shaft can cause great damage to the machine and tractor. Over-
run clutch must be mounted on the axle journal of the machine.
If the PTO shafts of the machine DUHQRLV\RUYL UDWH, the fitting in-

Before starting up a new machine, it must be lubricated. Check that
gearbox and cutterbar are filled with oil and that the oil level is correct.
Only use the oil types recommended in this manual.
Before starting up the machine, check that all bolts at cutting discs and
rotor have been tightened.
After approx. 1 hour of operation all bolts must be retightened. This is
especially important for fast rotating parts. Also re-tighten after service
work.

For the transport to the user, the machine has been taken down into
main components. The machine must be assembled according to the
special assembly instructions delivered with the machine.
The instructions given in the following paragraph must be followed
when assembling the machine for the first time (shortening of PTO
shaft etc.). For the next attachment it is only the specific attachment
points which must be carried out.
Take care when attaching a new machine for the first time. Make sure
that all general rules have been followed.

The attachment of the machine to the tractor must be carried out ac-
cording to the rules given. The three hitch pins of the suspension must
be properly locked by means of heavy duty pins. If the machine is
pulled away from the tractor, this could result in serious damage or
even have fatal consequences.
If the tractor width is below 2200 mm, measured from the outer edge
of the tyres, the hitch pins shown must be used.
For tractors wider than 2200 mm the hitch pins shown on the photo
must be used.
Check that both lift arms are raised to the same height above the
ground.
7 ,36  To avoid unnecessary inclination of the machine during work, it is re-
commended to check the tyre pressure of the tractor rear wheels be-
fore attaching the machine.
Reverse the tractor up to the machine and mount the lift arms.

Attach the machine to the tractor and lift the suspension slightly so that
the support leg is clear of the ground and then raise both support legs
as shown.
A top link mounting as shown here will cause a non-satisfactory oper-
ation of the machine .
Choose the adequate top link hole to make the top link follow the lift
arms as shown when the suspension is raised to working position.
