In contrast with 2-drum mowers straight mounting of the mower and full speed is not always
-
possible. Adjust experimentally inclination of the mower, PTO rpm, speed and correctness of
knife-mounting.
In case of mowing soft meadows the pressure of the cutterbar on the ground should be reduced
-
by adjusting support springs.

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
