Transporting on public roads
• Safety advice: see Supplement A1, pts. 1, 3, 4 and
6-9.
• Danger of injury can occur if machine swings out
during transportation.
- When travelling on public roads with machine swivelled in,
secure operating lever against swinging (E2).
• Travel on public roads only in transport position!
• Side guard rails (5):
- Remove linch pin (6).
- Fold guard rail up.
- Secure with linch pin.
• Check lighting and safety
equipment.
Changing from work to transport position
• Safety advice: see Supplement A1, pts. 1, 3, 4 and
6-9.
1. Before changing to transport position
- Turn p.t.o.offandwait forcutterto completelystop (mower
runs after turning off for approx. 30 seconds)
2. Raising the machine
- Raise mower: extend lifting cylinder (1) completely out.
• Lock (year of construction -1998)
- Remove spring pin (2).
- Fold locking device (3) up: Pos. O
- Secure with spring pin.
• Lock (year of construction +1999)
- Swing lever into position

OPERATION
Important points before starting work
After the first hours of operation
• Retighten all knife screw fittings.
1. Check
- The cutter condition and fixture
- The mower disc for damage (see chapter „Main-
tenance and Service“).
2. Only turn machine on when in work position
and do not exceed the stipulated p.t.o. r.p.m.
according to gearing fitted: 540 or 1000
r.p.m.!
• In principle, only turn p.t.o. on when all safety
equipment (covers, protective aprons, facings,
etc.)arein proper orderand are intheir protective
position on the implement.
3. Ensure the correct p.t.o. rotation direction! If
rotation direction is wrong then the drive runs
empty in the drive shaft free-running.
4. Damage protection!
• The surface to be mowed must be free of
obstructions or foreign objects. Such objects
(e.g. large stones, pieces of wood, boundary
stones, etc.) can damage the mower unit.
In the event of a collision
• Stop immediately and switch
off the drive.
• Carefully check the implement
for damage. The mowing discs
and their drive shaft must be
checked in particulare.
• Have the implement checked
also by a specialist workshop
if necessary.
After any contact with foreign objects
• Check the condition of knives and the knife holder.
• Retighten all knife screw fittings.
5. Keep away when motor is running
- Keep people out of the danger area as injury
can occur through out-thrown foreign bodies.
Take particular care on stoney fields, and near
roads and paths.
6. Wear hearing protection
The noise level in the working place can differ
from the measured values (see Technical Data),
particularly through the various designs of the
different tractor cabins.
• When a noise level of 85 dB(A) is reached or
exceeded,then theemployer (farmer) musthave
suitable hearing protection available (UVV 1.1
§2).
- When a noise level of 90 dB(A) is reached or
exceeded, then hearing protection must be worn
(UVV 1.1 § 16).
7. Check condition of V-belts
Replace worn out or damaged V-belts!
8. Check V-belt tension!
The disc on the pressure spring should be set at
the top control measurement. Adjustment takes
place by turning the adjusting nut accordingly.
Secure again with the locking nut afterwards (see
chapter "Maintenance and Service").
9. To mow, slowly throw-in the p.t.o. away from
the forage to be mowed and bring the mowing
drum up to full speed.
An even continuous increase in r.p.m. prevents
operating noises in the drive shaft free-running.
- The speed of travel depends on the terrain and
forage to be mowed.

Adjusting the machine
(up to 2003 / 1 model)
1. Upper link relieving springs (1)
- Improve cutter unit adaption to ground contours.
- Are preset in the factory.

2. Adjust cutter bar bearing pressure on main
springs (38)
- Preset in the factory: 150 kg
- left: 75 kg
- right: 75 kg
Fixed measurement console spring:
- left: L1
- right: R1
- Decrease bearing pressure: turn screw (4) to the right.
- Increase bearing pressure: turn screw to the left.
Caution when turning on slopes!
Danger of tipping exists
- when turning left
- when mower unit is positioned downhill
Safety advice
• Mount accompanying ballast weights onto left wheel bearer of
mower unit (these components are optional with some types,
see Spare Parts List also)
• When turning left reduce speed accordingly.
• Travel with mower unit positioned uphill.
• It is better travel in reverse on a slope than to make a risky
turn.
