Pos. 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
Attention!
Before changing to

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 properorderand arein theirprotective
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 the employer (farmer) must have
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.
