To operate this machine the following tractor requirements are necessary:
-
Tractor power:
NOVADISC 222 - from 103KW / 140PS
NOVADISC 262 - from 103KW / 140PS
NOVADISC 302 - from 103KW / 140PS

to guarantee braking and steering capabilities.

ife hazard - Steering or brake system failure due to
inadequate weight distribution between the tractor
axles.
•
Make sure that when the implement is
hitched, at least 20% of the tractor weight is
placed on the front axle.
Lifting unit (three-point linkage)
-
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)

For dual-action hydraulics:
- Set the hydraulic control unit (ST) to "DOWN" and
lower to the ground.
- Release rope (S) when swivelling
TIP
Lower the cutter bar to "pressure" if a dual-action
control unit is connected. The movement is
controlled and even and protects the machine.
Otherwise (when lowering to the float position)
the downward movements will be in jerks and
jolts. Increased stress will be placed on the joints.
For single-action hydraulics:
-Setthehydrauliccontrolunit(ST)to"FLOAT POSITION"
and lower to the ground.
