TRANSPORT POSITION
1. Fold front protection covers back(1)
This is necessary with many tractor types. It prevents
damage to the rear window or the mud guard later on
when raising the mower bar.
2. Fold external protection cover up (10)
- The external guard plate (10) can be swivelled in
to reduce the total height (- 30 cm) when in the
transport position.
3. Raise stop-lock support using the rope (S)
- stock-lock support to position „B“
4. Raise cutter bar hydraulically
- actuate servo-valve (ST)
- release rope (S) during
raising
- let stop-lock support
engage (T1)
5. Briefly move servo-valve (ST) into „LOWER“
position (S)
This enables stop-lock support to sit firmly in the catch
(T1) and secures cutter bar in the raised position (T)
