A rusty plunger rod can damage cylinder's sealing elements.
At season's end
- clean plunger rod and all other shiny parts, then grease them
- park implement with
attachment frame (H) raised, which will protect plunger rod from rust
- pay attention to the hints in
chapter "MAINTENANCE"
Raising the frame
Safety hints:
see supplement-A1 Pkt.8a. - 8h.)
- Do not attach implement to tractor's lifting gear.
- Connect hydraulic snap coupling (60) for swivel cylinder.

Attaching implement to tractor
Safety hints:
see supplement-A1 points 7.), 8a. - 8h.)
- The U-shaped flap (if available) should be swivelled up (A).
In this position the relieving spring is not so strongly tensioned which enables the mower's attaching frame to remain horizontal.
- Attach mower so that the edge of the tractor-side drum is just outside the right­hand tractor tyre!
- See also chapter "Side-located attachment", supplement-D
- Adjust lower link bolt (1) on frame accordingly.
- Bring frame into horizontal position by adjusting linkage arm spindle (15).
- By turning upper link spindle (16) the cutting height is adjusted .

Adjusting lower links
- Adjust tractor's hydraulics (ST) using bottom stop.
Lower links approx. 600 mm.
This height allows optimal evenness when working on uneven ground and need not be changed for swinging cutter bar up.
- Connect hydraulic snap coupling for swivel cylinder.
Important recommendation!
A transfer, which is located near the gear, advises which p.t.o. speed your mower unit is equipped for.
Standard: Gear for power take-off 1000 rpm. Order number: spare part book
Fitting drive shaft
- Before operating for the first time, drive shaft is to be checked and adapted if necessary. See alse chapter "Drive Shaft" in supplement B.

TRANSPORT AND WORKING POSITION
- 8 -
GB
Transport Position 2
• Mower bar only swivelled up at the side.
- Pull on rope (S2) and simultaneously actuate servo­valve (ST).
- Gradually move cutter bar into vertical position and release rope(S2).
- Secure cutter bar with hook (13).
- Before driving on roads always check correct locking!
Attention!
Never let mowing mechanism run with the mower raised.
- Connect lighting and raise implement for transport .
- Before leaving the tractor lower cutter bar to ground!
Reducing the Total Height in the Transport Position
Before converting to transport position
• The external guard plate (10) can be swivelled in to reduce the total height (- 30 cm) when in the transport position.
For safety reasons the mower disks must be at a complete standstill before swivelling the guard plate.
Conversion from Working to Transport Position
Safety Precaution!
see supplement-A1 points 7.), 8c. - 8h.)
Changing from working position to transport position is only to be carried out on even, firm ground.
• The mower bar can be swivelled into 3 different positions for transportation.
Transport Position 1
• Mower bar swivelled back.
- Lower cutter bar to ground.
- Release hook (40) by pulling on the rope (S1) and move forwards with the tractor.
In doing so, the cutter bar swivels back so far until the hook(41) is locked into position.
- Raise the implement using the tractor's lifting gear.
Note: Only short runs at low speed may be carried out in this position.

TRANSPORT AND WORKING POSITION

GB
Conversion from Transport to Working Position
- Swivel U-shaped flap into position "G".
When cutting bar is lowered the relieving spring is somewhat more tensioned which enables the bar to rest on the ground with less weight.
Swinging cutter bar down
- Make sure that swivel area is free and that nobody is standing in the danger area.
- Gently raise cutter bar with swivel cylinder so that hook (13) can be released.
- Release hook (13) by pulling on the rope (S2).
- Lower cutter bar hydraulically.
Lowering the Machine
- Before disconnecting hydraulic hose (26) extend cylinder (27) completely, so that no residual pressure interferes with connecting up later.
Parking in the open
When parking for longer periods in the open, clean plunger rods and then coat with grease.
Transport Position 3
• Mower bar swivelled back and then up.
1. Swivel mower bar back as described in "Transport Position 1".
2. Move mower bar into vertical position as described in "Transport Position 2".
- Secure cutter bar with hook (13).
3. Before driving on roads always check correct locking!
Attention!
Never let mowing mechanism run with the mower raised.
- Connect lighting and raise implement
for transport.
- Before leaving the tractor lower cutter bar to ground!
Reducing the Total Height in the Transport Position
In this position the external guard plate can also be swivelled in (see previous page).

WORKING ON SLOPES
GB
Take care when turning on slopes!
The tractor's travelling characteristics are influenced by the weight (G) of the mower unit. This can lead to dangerous situations, especially on slopes.
Danger of tipping occurs
- when the mower unit is facing downhill and in a raised position,
- when travelling in a left-hand curve with the mower unit raised,
- when travelling in a left-hand curve in the transport position (mower unit completely raised).
Safety advice
• Reduce speed in left-hand curves accordingly.
• Travel so that the raised mower unit is facing uphill.
• It is better to travel in reverse on a slope than to carry out a risky
turning manoeuvre.
