Page 7: Preface
PREFACE This Operator’s Manual is meant for personnel that are operating the machine and are responsible for its daily maintenance. Kindly read this manual fully prior to starting work. Such instructions as are related to your safety and/or that of others are marked in the margin by a warning triangle with exclamation mark. -
Page 8: Safety Instructions
- Use flashing lights or other safety signs, when required. - Don’t stand on the machine. - Use genuine LELY parts only. - Remove the pressure from hydraulic systems before starting work on them and/or before coupling/ uncoupling hydraulic hoses. -
Page 9: Explanation Of Safety Decals On The Machine
EXPLANATION OF SAFETY DECALS ON THE MACHINE - Carefully read operator’s manual before handling the machine. Observe instructions and safety rules when operating. - Attention! Moving parts. Stay clear of rotating machine parts. - Danger of flying objects. Maintain a sufficient, safe distance from the machine as long as the tractor engine is running. -
Page 10: Introduction
The machine is built up of a cutter bar and a conditioner unit. The cutter bar is fitted with type N or S discs (fig. 1). The cutter bar is composed of cutting units according to the modular Lely system. These elements as well as the intermediate spacers are torqued together by a connecting rod. -
Page 11: Mounting Behind The Tractor
2 MOUNTING BEHIND THE TRACTOR The headstock is fitted with double linkage pins (categoryII) giving two linkage possibilities (fig. 3) and allowing adjustment of the offset position of the machine behind the tractor. Depending on the method of mowing, the machine is positioned directly next to the tractor tyres, or offset to a certain extent. -

4 MACHINE ADJUSTMENTS Put the machine into the working position as follows: - Open the valve on the ram (fig. 7). - Pull the operating cord of the cylinder lock to raise the lock hook or to open the valve of the hydraulic system (fig. 6). - Actuate the double acting tractor valve and carefully extend the machine fully. -
Page 14: Ground Pressure
Ground pressure The ground pressure of the SPLENDIMO MC mower is set either with the mechanical ground pressure relief system using a spring packet or with a hydraulic ground pressure relief system. If, during operations, the cutter bar has a tendency to float which inhibits proper ground contour following, then the pressure in the relief system should be adjusted at a lower level. -

Page 30: Doptional Extras
Supplement D OPTIONAL EXTRAS Skids Skids fitted underneath the cutter bar ensure that the SPLENDIMO mower follows the ground contours more easily. Due to the streamlined shape of the skids, the mower does not dig into the ground in case of unevenness while at the same time soil is prevented from building up underneath the discs. - Page 31 Supplement D Crop divider When mowing very long crops, the grass still to be mown on the right side of the machine may tend to build up. A crop divider is available to ensure that the crop that has not been mown is pushed to the side, thus preventing it from building up.
