MOWING
- Remove support (C and D, Fig. 28) and remount them, upside-
down in their seat .
- Remove tie rod (A, Fig. 29) from the cutting arm and secure it in
its seat.
- The mower is fitted with a safety device for protection against
obstacles. If this device is tripped by impact with an obstacle,
stop the tractor without raising the cutting arm. Check that the
universal joint has not become seperated, if so, reassemble it.
Position the safety tie rod parallel to the ground, and reverse
the tractor until the safety tie rod hooks up again. If the tie rod
releases easly, adjust spring (T, Fig. 30) using nut (U, Fig. 30)
which should be tightened half turn at a time.
For successful mowing and to avoid jamming, we advise you to:
- Set and maintain the power take-off at a constant rate of 540
rpm to ensure correct blade frequency;
- compatibly with the soil conditions and the type of fodder,
maintain a steady work speed: no slower than 8 km/h to favour
the discharging of the mown fodder and no faster than 10 km/
h to avoid breaking or damaging the machine's structure.
- if the fodder is tangled or flattened, keep the cutting bar grazing
the ground.
ATTENTION
If the blades become jammed, it is advisable to intervene
carefully wearing suitable personal protection gear.
All the maintenance, adjustment and work preparation
operations, must be carried out with the tractor strictly
switched off and properly stationary, with the ignition key out
and the planter on the ground.
- Always raise the implement in order to reverse or change
direction.
- The cutting arm should not be raised abruptly in order to
avoid damaging the cutting blades.
- Do not work whit P.T.O. in synchronism with the wheels.
- Power take-off must not exceed 540 r.p.m.
- Never run the motor at maximum power while mowing.
- In order to prevent breakages or damage, the speed of the
tractor must never exceed 10 Km/hour when the implement
is working.
The mowing machine has sharp cutting blades. Always make
sure that there are no person, chidren, domestic animals,
electrical cables, pipes and so forth, within the field of action
of the implement.
HAZARD BAR
The hazard bar has been included with the equipment of the
machine for safety reasons, to indicate the space occupied by
the mower at work. For working, position the hazard bar in position
(V) (Figure 31) and lock it in place with the screw (Z). For transport
put it in position (W).
