The mower has a factory-set cutting height of 58-60mm. The cutting height can be adjusted by
removing a distance ring (spacer), as shown in Fig. 19. After removing a new cutting height of 50
mm is achieved. By putting one additional spacer over the support saucer a cutting height of 66-68
mm is obtained. Additional spacers are available (optional extras).
CAUTION:
When mounting additional distance rings longer bolts - M10x35 must
be used and tightened to a torque of 55 Nm.

5.5. 3-point linkage support chain
Support chain (Fig. 20) is used to ensure 3-point linkage frame of the mower is always at the same
height, to set the mowing unit parallel to the ground and to relieve the hydraulic lift of the tractor. If
the cutting unit is not set parallel to the ground, the bearings of sliding saucers will be subject to
premature wear.
When connecting mower to the tractor, the hanger plate “A” of support chain should be
disconnected from chain and put on the pin “B” of top link. Then the mower has to be lifted with
hydraulic lift about 40 cm high (Fig.15). The support chain is then connected to the hanger plate
“A” so that is tensioned when the mower is in the working position.
Fig. 20. 3-point linkage support chain.
5.6. Maintenance and service
5.6.1. Checking the knives and knife holders
All knives should have the same lengths and weights. Always check mower before starting work for
damaged, missing and/or worn blades (knives). Replace blades, if necessary, only in sets. Make
sure all knives in a set are of the same length and weight. The knife holders must not be damaged or
deformed and the knife holder pin, on which the knife is pivoting, shouldn’t be worn down by more
than 50 % of its cross-section (Fig. 21).
If the knife holder pin is worn too much and/or the knife holder is worn or deformed on the outside
edges, please replace the knife holder immediately. The riveting of the pin in the knife holder must
be checked for safety and quality too. If the riveting is loose, replace the knife holder.
