Length of pressed safety breakaway device's steel spring (measurement R in Fig. 14) should be
R=130 mm, ø 10 mm, D = 37 mm. In the event if breakaway device is loosed often, dimension R shall
be reduced by 1–2 mm. Bear in mind, that too tight the spring tension may cause the breakaway device
to be locked, and therefore machine to be damaged.

5.7.3. Mower clogging and jams

When operating the mower pay attention to variable conditions on field, which may influence the
mower clogging and jams, such as: terrain unevenness, height and density of grass as well as other
objects in the grass (stones, branches, piles of soil). In order to avoid clogging and jams, operating
speed should be adjusted to the mentioned conditions.
WARNING!
Removing clogs and jams while the machine is in operation can lead to the
accident!
In case of machine blockage caused by wrapped material, set the machine on a flat surface,
remove excess material using sharp tool. After clearing the machine check if nothing has been
damaged.
To remove any clogging it is obligatory to disconnect the drive and the motor, take out the ignition
key. When eliminating any clogging on the machine, use also safety means for operator, so protective
gloves and tight wear.

5.7.4. Driving with mower over windrows when taking turns

Lift mower up by means of hydraulic cylinder and take a turn. Height of lifted up mower is
enough to have a drive over windrows without need of applying any lifting of mower on tractor lifting
devices. This is necessary, as not taking such maneuver may cause the cutter bar to get clogged with
grass.
