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.

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

3. Adjusting swath width
- Loosen swath board (12) with clamping leaver
(13).
- Adjust swath board by shifting clamping lever.
- Secure.
4. Adjusting processor angle (Baujahr: - 1997)
• Turn lever (14) to the right. This brings impact plate
(15) closer to processor tines.
• Turn lever to the left. Impact plate is further away.
Thedistancebetweentheimpactplateand processor
tines can change the conditioning effect.
- Conditioning is most efficient in the lowest position
(-), the forage surface is intesively worn down but it
should not be beaten. Mais veiller à ne pas broyer
le fourrage.
- The opposite effect is the case for the highest po-
sition (+) as the forage surface is only lightly worn
down.
Thecorrect setting dependson the volumeof forage,
speed and tractor power among other things.
5. Adjusting processor angle (Baujahr: + 1998)
The gap between the beating arm and rotor is adjusted using the
hand lever.
Through this the processing effect can be changed.
• Processing is most effective in lowest position (5) where
forage surface is strongly reamed. But forage should not be
crushed.
• The opposite occurs in the uppermost position (0) where forage
is only lightly reamed.
The correct setting depends on the volume of forage, speed
and tractor power among other things. Therefore no references
necessary for the correct lever position can be given at this
point.
6. Altering rotor rpm
- byexchangingpulley
(A) and belts (B).
Parts: see Spare Parts
List
• 630 rpm
- pulley with ø 147 mm
This rpm is recommended for very leafy forage because it is
not intensively crushed.
• 860 rpm
- pulley with ø 197 mm
These prepare forage for quick drying. But forage should not
be crushed.
• 1000 rpm
- pulley with ø 224 mm

Long swath board
The left standard swath board (SB) can be replaced by a longer
one (SB – 1).
By doing so the swath width (S1) can be reduced.
Problem:
In difficult working conditions (long, heavy grass) the longer swath
board (SB-1) may lead to clogging. In such a case the standard
swath board (SB) must be mounted.

Cleaning of machine parts
Attention! Do not use high-pressure washers for the
cleaning of bearing- and hydraulic parts.
- Danger of rust!
- After cleaning, grease the machine according to the
lubrication chart and carry out a short test run.
- Cleaning with too high pressure may do damage to
varnish.
Safety point
• Turn engine off when adjustment, service and repair
work is to be done.
Hydraulic unit
Caution! Danger of injury or infection!
Under high pressure, escaping fluids can penetrate
the skin. Therefore seek immediate medical help!
After the first 10 operating hours and then every
consecutive 50 operating hours
- Check the hydraulic unit and lines for tightness and
retighten screw connections if necessary.
Before operation
- Check hydraulic hoses for wear.
Replace worn or damaged hydraulichoses immediately.
The replacement hoses must meet the manufacturer’s
technical requirements.
Hose lines are subject to natural ageing. The period of
use should not exceed 5 – 6 years.
Winter storage
- Thoroughly clean machine before storage.
- Put up protection against weather.
- Change or replenish gear oil.
- Protect exposed parts from rust.
- Lubricate all greasing points according to lubrication
chart.

Every 50 hours of operation
- Grease all grease nipples according to lubrication chart.
- Grease both drive shafts in machine (see lubrication
chart):
Take sliding sections apart and grease well.
Cutter bar-oil change
After the first 50 hours of operation, then after every
500 hours of operation, or annually.
Note:
• Change oil when at operating temperature.
The oil is too viscid when cold. Too much old oil remains stuck
to the gearwheels and because of this any suspended matter
present cannot be removed from the gearing.
- Drain oil:
- Lift the right side of the mower bar so that the oil gathers in the
drain plug area.
- Remove drain plug (62), drain old oil and dispose of properly.
- Fill with oil:
Full amount: 2,5 - 2,7 litres: SAE 90 EP
Fill check raised 10 cm
1. Lift one side of the mower bar (10 cm) and support.
• The side where the oil refill screw is located remains on
the ground.
• Lift the other side of the mower bar about 10 cm and
support with a suitable prop.
2. Let mower bar stand in this position for some 15 minu-
tes.
• This time is necessary to allow the oil to gather in the
lower area of the mower bar.
3. Remove oil refill screw (5).
The oil level is measured at the oil refill screw hole.
Important!
In doing so the cutter bar must be in horizontal position.
4. Check the "4 - 6 mm" oil level using a wooden stick and
top-up if necessary.
• Too much oil leads to the mower bar overhe-
ating during operation.
• Too little oil does not guarantee the necessary
lubrication.
