Power diagram, hydraulic 3.1
Please use the diagram below to assess whether your vehicle has enough hydraulic power availa-
ble.
1. Add the power specifications of all options present on your machine.
2. Be aware of the information concerning the hydraulics of your vehicle.
As a rule, the hydraulic power of your vehicle that is available for additional
implements, is considerably lower than the engine power.
3. Enter the information in the table below: Example: maximum hydraulic pressure
on the vehicle 150 bar. Oil volumetric flow of 40 l/min. equals a maximum hy-
draulic power of 8.8 kW.

ble for compliance with the valid regulations.
Instruction 4.3.3
At transfer of the implement the owner receives instruction in the operation and maintenance of the
implement from the sales partner.
The owner must ensure that operating and maintenance personnel have been instructed in full
scope in the operation and maintenance of the implement.
Warning signs 4.4
Warning signs indicate hazards that cannot be countered through protective measures. To avoid
severe or fatal injuries the warning signs must always be obeyed.
Missing warning signs must be replaced without delay.
Do not operate the implement if the warning signs are missing.
You can order the warning signs by specifying the spare parts numbers listed
in section 4.5.2 (no. V000...).

Machine-specific notice 4.4.2
Machine-specific warning signs and instructions concerning operation and maintenance of the ma-
chine are explained in this section.
Danger due to ejected parts when the engine is running

Predominantly mid-mount, front, or independent engine PTO shafts.
Implement is only suitable for a PTO shaft speed of 1000 rpm!
Usually an independent engine PTO shaft.
Implement is only suitable for clockwise PTO shaft rotation! (CW)
Implement is only suitable for counterclockwise PTO shaft rotation! (CCW)
The direction of rotation is always specified when viewing the end of the PTO shaft from the front
(see Fig. 1 page 5).
Do not operate the mower without discharge guard or suction port!
After each use re-tighten all screws
Lubricating point
Safety devices 4.5
There are various safety devices on machines to protect people when working with a machine, or
who are in the direct vicinity of the machine, to prevent premature wear, and also to prevent envi-
ronmental damage. These safety devices are a fixed component of the machine and must not be
manipulated or removed. Missing or damaged safety devices must be replaced without delay.
Concerning the safety devices, a distinction is made between protective devices that prevent con-
tact with a danger point, and safety notices that alert to a hazard on the machine.
Likewise, hazards can occur through insufficient maintenance; consequently the maintenance in-
structions must also be classified as safety notices

Each time before starting to drive, ensure that all described safety notices
and protective devices are completely present and functional. Do not operate
the implement if safety notices or safety devices are missing or damaged.
