OPERATING RECOMMENDATIONS

WARNING
Never operate the mower without the cutter bar
curtain in place. Failure to comply could result in
death or serious injury.
NOTE: Optional left and right swathboards are
shown.
1. Never operate the mower without the covers, 1,
on the rotating crop divider drums.
2. Engage the tractor PTO and slowly increase to
540 RPM. Always operate the tractor at 540
RPM. DO NOT OVERSPEED. Overspeeding or
underspeeding could damage the mower and
will cause stripping or streaking in light crops.
3. Regulate ground speed according to crop
conditions. A slower ground speed may be
necessary in heavy down crops.
4. Make sure the knives can pivot. Replace knives
if they are bent.
5. Knives can be removed and turned over to use
the other cutting edge. Knives should be turned
or replaced before they become excessively
worn.
6. Replace knives in pairs or sets so disc balance
is retained. When changing knives, always
replace worn or damaged knife hardware. Refer
to the "Maintenance" section of this manual for
further knife information.
WARNING
Do not attempt to remove material from the
mower while it is in operation. Turn off the tractor
engine and allow the rotating discs to stop before
leaving the tractor. Failure to comply could result
in death or serious injury.
