Adjusting the Cutter Bar

135° Version
The angle of th cutter bar can be
adjusted upwards in 4 stages from 0°
(straight) to 45°, and downwards in 8
stages from 0° to 90° (right angle facing

There is also a special transport position
for the cutter bar.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, carry out the
adjustment only when the cutting blades
are at a standstill – engine at idle speed.
