ATTACHing TO TrACTOr
GB
Attaching in general
1. Observe safety hints in supplement-A.
• Please also observe the hints in the chapter “Special
attachment”
2. Mark off the implement at the tractor's threepoint linkage.
• Secure locking bolts with linch pins.
• Lock lower link bolts (2) so that they are free from
play.
3. Fasten lower hydraulic link (U) so that
implement cannot swing out sideways.
Driveshaft
- Before initial operation, check drive shaft length and
adapt if necessary (see chapter “Adapting to Drive
Shaft” in Supplement B also).
Optional extra: Hydraulic cylinder
Important!
The cutter bar can be moved left (L) or right
(R) using hydraulic cylinder (10).
Take this offsetting action into account
when shortening the drive shaft.
M = central position
4. Connect hydraulic lines (Hyd) on the plug-in
connector with the double-action control
valve.
Road Transport
• Observe the regulations issued by your country's
legislative body.
• Travelling on public roads may only be undertaken as
is described in the chapter "Transporting Position".
• Fasten lower hydraulic link (U) so that implement cannot
swing out sideways.

max.
TD 37/96/4
Because of the different lifting gears on various tractors
special attaching kits are to be used.
• see supplement-D
• see Spare Parts List also.
Maximum drive shaft angle
Most drive shafts in continuous operation may only be
angled to a maximum 25° (GW max.).
• Observe the advice in the drive shaft
manufacturer's operating manual.
Gearing positions
Gearing can be fitted in two positions (H1, H2)
For this the relevant adaptors must also be fitted.
- see Spare Parts List

In order to prevent damage
- Limit the lifting gear’s lifting height

Guard plates and protective aprons
Guard plates and protective aprons can be raised when
maintenance work is to be done.
Open the locking bar „R“ with a suitable aid (e.g. screw
driver) and simultaneously swing the protector up.
Opening the side protector
- Unlock the catch (R) and swing protector up
- engage protective frame in holder (3)
- left and right
Transport position (< 3 m)
When both protective elements have been raised and
are engaged in the holder (3), the total width of the unit
is less than 3m.
Working position
Before commencing work
Turn the p.t.o. on only when all safety devices
(coverings, protective aprons, casings,
etc.) are in proper condition and attached
to the implement in the correct protective
positions.
For safety reasons mowing may only be
conducted in this position.
Attention!
For safety reasons
it is necessary to
wait for mowing
disks to stop
completely before
raising and securing guard plates.
Open front protector
- Unlock the catch (R) and
swing protector up
- lock holder in place
(1a)
Close front protector
- Disengage holder and
swing protector down
The catch will engage
automatically
Closing the side protectors
Swing the protector down, the locking bar engages
automatically and locks the protector against
unintentional opening.

front lifting gear in
a vertical position
or inclined slightly
forward.
- Lock lower link bolts (2) so that they are free from
play.
Spring tension
Mounting kit (Optional extras)
The mower drum’s ground pressure is controlled through
spring tension
• The mowing bar should weigh 150kg resting on the
ground (75kg left and right).
- Raise the unit hydraulically
- Secure both chains
- Lower implement to ground.
Check angle 10° - 15°
Attaching problems
• For lifting gear with a crossbar between the lower links
damage to the cardan shaft could occur when lowering
the attached implement.
To prevent damage fit an uplift device between lifting
gear and Weiste triangle
In a case such as this please contact our Customer
Service Dept.
• For tractors where the cardan shaft end is located quite
far forward, the length must be extremely shortened.
When the implement is engaged then there is insufficient
casing to over the drive shaft.
In this case the mounting frames (K1, K2) are to be
fitted in the relevant positions (see Supplement-D)
Safety
hints:
see supplement-A1
Pkt. 8a. - h.)
Setting measurement "X1"
- Slip the hose clamp (20) onto the tension spring.
Doing this means that spring tension does not have to
be checked every time unit is attached to tractor.
Only when changing tractors is the setting (X1) to be
checked and if necessary reset.

Snap connector (Weiste triangle)
Pay particul arattention before initial attachment
to Tractor!
Attention!
For front lifting gear with double-action
hydraulic cycle (danger of damage)!
Remedy:
- Switch control valve to single-action
- Convert front lifting gear to single-action function
(bypass line) through a specialist work shop.
• When the mower is attached to the tractor,
the the hydraulic control (ST) must not be
set at „Lower“.
• Immediately after such an operating error,
reset the adjustable plate (P1).. Replace
damaged parts beforehand.
The following could happen after an operating error:
- the position of the plate (P1) has changed in the slot;
the gap to the locking hook (V) is therefore too great,
- the locking hook (V) breaks,
Reset the adjustable plate (P1)
1. Loosen screws (SK) slightly
- do not loosen too much; the plate (P1) should be
able to move in the slot when tapped lightly with a
hammer.
2. Couple the mower to the tractor´s lifting gear
3. Position the adjustable plate (P1) so that the locking
hook (V) can still be unlatched. The gap to the hook
should be as narrow as possible.
4. Uncouple the mower from the tractor´s lifting gear.
5. Tighten screws (SK) to 65 Nm.

Important points before starting work
After the first hours of operation
• Retighten all knife screw fittings.
Watch for the direction of rotation of the
mowing discs
General
For mowing, the power take-off shaft drive should be
switched to turn to the left.
Safety
hints:
see supplement-A
Pkt. 1. - 7.)
Remedy, if the tractor’s power take-off shaft drive
cannot be switched to turn to the left:
Mount the drive shaft in the gearing in position L
Note: With this change replace the rotary shaft seal (1)
and the sealing cover (2) with new ones (see Spare
Parts List)
Mowing
1. Adjust cutting height by turning upper link
spindle (16) (cutter disc inclination: max. 5°)
2. Before mowing, throw-in p.t.o. slowly outside
crop and bring mower drums up to full
speed.
Noises conditional to p.t.o. free-wheel system can
be prevented through an even continious increase in
r.p.m.
- Travelling speed is set according to ground conditions
and crop.
