WOrking On sLOpEs Take care when turning on slopes! The tractor's travelling characteristics are influenced by the weight (g) of the mower unit. This can lead to dangerous situations, especially on slopes. Danger of tipping occurs - when the mower unit is facing downhill and in a raised position, - when travelling in a left-hand curve with the mower unit raised, - when travelling in a left-hand curve in the transport position (mower unit completely raised).

starting WOrk Operation Adjustment - Adjust tractor hydraulics in a way that the machine can adapt to uneven ground. 1. Adjust cutting height by turning upper link spindle - Put hydraulic control device (ST) into "free gear" (floating (inclination of the cutting discs max. 5°). position or "lower") - The drive shaft (GW) position should be approximately horizontal when mowing.
