3.0.6 ADAPTING THE MOWING BAR

To ensure optium use, the mowing bar must completely project
from the tractor (Fig. 19); threee situations are shown in the
Figures (20):
- hitching to a tractor normally used for mowing jobs (K1, Fig.
20);
- hitching to a large tractor (K2, Fig. 20);
- hitching to a small tractor or to certain types of tracked vehicle
(K3, Fig. 20).

3.0.7 ADJUSTMENT

Before starting a mowing session, adjust the machine so that
the best working setup is obtained. Correct machine setup
guarantees excellent mowing, allows for the best machine-tractor
performance and remarkably reduces wear of the cutting blades.
- Remove safety hook (B1, Fig. 21), required only for
transportation, and fit it back in the slot positioned above the
chassis.
- Fit the mower by adjusting the tractor tie-rods so that, when the
mower attachment is fitted to the three points on the tractor, the
external tip of the cutting arm is approximately 5 cm. foward
with respect to the arm base (Fig. 22).
- Connect one end of the chain (L, Fig. 23) to the mower using
the supplied pin and the other end to a stationary point on the
tractor.
Adjust the height of the mower to the ground (50 to 55 cm, Fig.
33) by moving the rings of the chain (L, Fig. 23) in the hole on
the plate (F).
When the lifter is lowered, this precaution will constantly hold
the mower at the same height from ground level. Also, check
that the inner skid is still touching the ground and adjust the
spring (M, Fig. 23) if necessary.
