safety, and maintenance regulations. Conrmation is necessary to prove that the machine and operating
manual have been handed over accordingly.
For this purpose,
- document A is to be signed and sent to Pöttinger,
- document B remains with the dealer supplying the machine,
- and the customer receives document C.
In accordance with the laws of product liability, every farmer is an entrepreneur.
According to the laws of product liability, property damage is damage caused by a machine and not to
it. An excess of Euro 500 is provided for such a liabilioty.
In accordance with the laws of product liability, entrepreneurial property damages are excluded from
the liability.
Attention! Should the customer resell the machine at a later date, the operating manual must be given
to the new owner who must then be instructed in the recommended regulations referred to herein.

TRANSPORT
Transporting on public roads
• The transport width is more than 3 m, a reduction in
width is not technically possible.
Therefore an application to the appropriate authorities
for a special permit for travelling on public roads is to
be made.
FRG: A certificate issued by the Bavarian TÜV, for presentation to
the authorities, can be found in the supplement of this booklet.
• 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.

- Turn p.t.o. offandwaitfor cuttertocompletelystop(mower
runs after turning off for approx. 30 seconds)
2. Raising the machine
- Raise mower: extend lifting cylinder (1) completely out.

OPERATION
Important points before starting work
After the rst hours of operation
• Retighten all knife screw fittings.
1. Check
- The cutter condition and xture
- 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.)areinproper orderandareintheirprotective
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
fordamage. Themowing 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 elds, 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,thentheemployer (farmer)musthave
suitable hearing protection available (UVV 1.1
§2).
- When a noise level of 90 dB(A) is reached or
exceeded,thenhearingprotectionmust beworn
(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.

- 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.

3. Adjusting swath width
- Loosen swath board (12) with clamping leaver

- 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.

(-), 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.
Thecorrectsetting dependsonthevolumeofforage,
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

CROSS CONVEYOR
Safety points
• Turn engine off when adjustment, service and repair work is to
be done.
• Do not work under the
machine without safe
support.
- Retighten all screws
after the first hours of
operation.
Road transport
• Cross conveyor lowered (Q2)
- Only in this position when travelling on public roads
Settings
Setting for moist forage:
• Fit both the accompanying shims (16).
This enables the cross conveyor to be mounted more evenly
onto the machine. This improves the conveying operation with
particularly moist forage.
Setting for normal operation:
• Remove both the accompanying shims (16)
This enables the cross conveyor to be mounted onto the machine
in the normal position. This position is adequate for most
operations.
Description
A swath can be deposited offset using the cross conveyor. The
forage is not deposited directly behind the machine, but to the left
of it. With this a double swath (S1, S2) can be produced. This can
be collected up with a wider Pick-up.
- Thecrossconveyorisdrivenbyahydraulicmotorwhichispowered
by a hydraulic pump (board hydraulic).
Necessary hydraulic connection
• Single action hydraulic connection
- to raise the cross conveyor
1. Depositing a single swath (S1)
• Cross conveyor raised (Q1)
2. Depositing a double swath (S1, S2)
• Cross conveyor lowered (Q2)
• The second swath (S2) is deposited next to the first (S1)
