-
The tractor’s lifting unit (three-point linkage) must be
designed for the applicable load. (See technical data)
-
The lifting struts are to be set at the same length (4)
using the appropriate adjusting device
(See the tractor manufacturer’s operating manual)
-
If the lifting struts on the lower links can be fixed in
different positions, then the rear position must be
selected. This relieves the pressure on the tractor’s
hydraulic system.
-
The limiting chain or lower link stabilisers (5) are to
be set so that the attached machine CANNOT move
sideways. (Safety measure for transportation)
Hydraulic control on the lifting gear
The lifting hydraulics shall be switched on

Wear hearing protection
The noise level in the workplace can deviate from the
measured value (see Technical Data) partly because
of the differing cabin types of various tractors.

then
the farmer (or contractor) must provide appropriate
hearing protection (UVV
1.1 § 2).

Mowing
1.
Adjust the cutting height by turning the upper
link spindle and with the hydraulic upper link
(max. 5° inclination to mower discs)
2.
To mow, slowly engage the pto outside the
mowed fodder (in field transport position) and
take the mower rotor to full speed.
Smoothly increase the p.t.o. speed, in order to avoid
noises in the free-wheel conditioned by the system.
-
Adjust travel speed to terrain and crop.
Reversing
Raise the mower when reversing!
Protective covers
The side guard and front guard can be folded up for cleaning
and maintenance work.
The two foldable guards lock mechanically in closed

Working on slopes
Take care when turning on slopes!
The tractor's travelling characteristics are
influenced by the weight (
G
) of the mower
unit. This can lead to dangerous situations,
especially on slopes.
Danger of tipping occurs
- when the mower unit is facing downhill and in a raised
position,
- when travelling in a left-hand curve with the mower unit
raised,
- when travelling in a left-hand curve in the transport position
(mower unit completely raised).
Safety information
• Reduce
speed
in
left-hand
curves
accordingly.
• Travel
so
that
the
raised
mower
unit
is
facing
uphill.
• It
is
better
to
travel
in
reverse
on
a
slope
than
to
carry
out a risky turning manoeuvre.
