TRACTOR REQUIREMENTS
Tractor
To operate this machine the following tractor requirements
are necessary:
- Tractor power:
NOVACAT 302 CF from 74 kW / 100 PS
NOVACAT 352 ED / RC / CF from 96 kW / 130 PS
NOVACAT 402 ED from 96 kW / 130 PS

lowerlinkCat. III/ Width3
NOVACAT 402 ED lowerlinkCat. III/ Width3
- Connections:
Seetable "Necessary hydraulicandpowerconnections"
Ballast weights
20%
Kg
Ballast weights
The front of the tractor must have sufficient ballast weights
to guarantee braking and steering capabilities.
DANGER
Life hazard - Steering or brake system failure due to
inadequate weight distribution between the tractor
axles.
t 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)
371-08-16
371-08-16
- The tractor’s lifting unit (three-point linkage) must be
designed for the occurring 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)
- Select the rear position if the lifting rods can be set in
various positions on the lower link. 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

t Check the vehicle for roadworthiness prior
to every operation (lights, brakes, protective
panels …)!
DANGER
Life-threateningdanger through implementoperation
with self-driven machines. The field of vision during
a transport journey is restricted when the device is
attached.
t Operate the machine only with tractors
whose field of vision remains unaffected by
the unit during transport.
For further safety instructions see Supplement A1, pt. 7),
8a. - 8h.)
Hitching implement to tractor
1. Set lower link on tractor
- Fix the lower linkage so that the implement cannot
swivel out to the side and the headstock is centrally
positioned.
2. Attaching implement to tractor
WARNING
Riskof injuryresulting indeathorother serious injury
from driving over or rolling over a person located
between the implement and the tractor.
t Before approaching the tractor, direct all
persons out of the danger area between
tractor and implement.
t After approaching the tractor, secure it
against rolling away (braking in, wheel
chocks) before anyone is allowed to enter
the danger area.
- Connect the lower linkage with the implement lower
linkage bolt, and secure. The hydraulic lower linkage
compensator can be fitted in the left lower linkage
arrester hooks by activating the dual-acting servo unit.
- Adjust the lower link bolts (1) on the bearing frame,
according to the three-point category, and the track
width using the fixing screw. The mower must not touch
the rear tractor tyres.
NOTE
Risk of property damage due to falling of the device.
t Make sure you hit the desired hole on the
bolt with the fixing screw! Otherwise the
device may come loose from the coupling
and fall to the ground.

UNHITCHING AND PARKING
General tips
DANGER
Life-threatening danger should the tractor start
moving on its own.
t Before carrying out maintenance and repair
work, switch off the engine and remove the
key and apply the tractor's brakes.
t Secure the machine with chocks if neces-
sary.
DANGER
Danger to life - by tilting the device
t Make sure the machine is standing securely.
t Park the implement only on flat, firm ground.
t Use the support feet provided for this pur-
pose.
DANGER
Life-threateningdanger existsifanotherperson starts
up the tractor and drives away or actuates the control
lever of the hydraulic system while you are engaged
in maintenance.
t Before carrying out maintenance and repair
work, switch off the engine and remove the
key and apply the tractor's brakes.
Unhitching implement from tractor
Depending on parking situation, mower can be unhitched
in the transport position (H) or working position (R).
H
r
The following procedure applies to both situations:
1. Set the single-action control unit to floating position to
lower the implement to the required parking position
(H, R).
2. Swivel safety flap (1) into (item A).
Pos. A
Pos. B

WARNING
Risk of an injury resulting in death or other serious
injury due to the failure of the safety flap (1).
t The safety lever (1) is a safety fixture. It
should not be changed in its form and
functions.
t The safety flap is designed in such a way
that it does not jump out of the locking posi-
tion when the cutter bar is folded up hydrau-
lically, therefore do not actuate the hydraulic
cylinder for folding up when the safety flap is
in the locking position. (Pos. A)
t Damaged safety flaps must be replaced
immediately with new ones.
3. Extend or fold out and secure the support feet (2).
4. Lower implement onto support stands.
