Operating The Splendimo Mc - LELY SPLENDIMO 320 MC Betriebsanleitung

5 OPERATING THE SPLENDIMO
• Make sure that nobody is near the machine at the
moment the PTO is engaged.
• Do not allow anyone to come within a 100 m radius from
the machine during work.
• Stop the tractor engine before leaving the tractor cab.
!
• The safety covers, canopies and plating (fig. 11) are
essential protective components of the machine. So:
operate the mower only with these components duly
fitted.
• Always operate with the safety cover folded down.
Secure it firmly in the clamp block ( fig. 11).
To lift the machine on headlands, you need to retract the
hydraulic ram by actuating only the single acting tractor
valve.
Lifting of the machine will stop automatically at an inclined
position of approx. 20° up (fig. 12).
The following directions should be followed for operating
the machine:
- Lower the machine by means of the hydraulic ram until it is
just above crop level.
- Engage the PTO shaft at the lowest possible engine
!
speed.
- Rev up PTO speed up to 1.000 RPM which is the
maximum RPM allowed during work.
- Lower the machine into the crop.
- Ensure the floating position of the hydraulic valve; the
rams have to telescope smoothly throughout the operation.
- Do not drive too slowly. Effective working speeds start at
approx. 8 km/h. A lower speed may affect crop flow-
through across the cutter bar.
- Make sure that the PTO speed of 1.000 r.p.m. is maintained
during work.
A (temporary) drop of speed may cause crop entanglement
in the cutter bar and/or winding of long crop material
underneath the discs.
- First, lift the machine from the crop and then reduce the
PTO speed immediately.
