20 (30) Recommended operating speed and maximum allowed oil flow: Adjust engine RPM so that the loader's auxiliary hydraulic flow is within the specified range for the cutting bar. Too little flow will not move the blades fast enough for good cutting results. Correct flow makes sure that the blades move fast enough for a good finish.
21 (30) 6.3 Working on uneven ground Extra caution is needed when using the equipment on inclined terrains and slopes. Drive slowly especially on inclined, uneven, or slippery surfaces, and avoid sudden changes in speed or direction. Operate the controls of the loader with careful and smooth movements.
22 (30) 6.5 Transport position When driving with the loader, keep the cutting bar lifted off the ground and tilted sideways, as shown in the adjacent figure. Also keep the hydraulic boom completely retracted during transport. For safety, it is recommended to disconnect the auxiliary hydraulics outlet during transport drive.
23 (30) 6.6 Uncoupling and storage Uncouple and store the attachment on level ground. The best way to store the attachment is a place where it is protected from direct sunlight, rain, and extreme temperatures. Avoid leaving the attachment laying directly on the ground for long periods of time. Place it on blocks of wood or on a pallet, for example.
24 (30) 6.6.2 Storage of uncoupled cutting bar When storing the cutting bar for longer periods than temporary uncoupling from the loader, the cutting bar should be disconnected from the side arm and stored separately. Avoid leaving the attachment laying directly on the ground. Place it on blocks of wood or on a pallet, for example.
Finding any fault means that the hydraulic hose or component must be replaced and the equipment must not be used until it is repaired. Spare parts are available from your nearest AVANT retailer or authorised service point. Leave the repair work to professional service technicians, if you don’t have adequate knowledge and experience about hydraulic assemblies and how to perform the repairing safely.
26 (30) 7.2 Cleaning the attachment Clean the attachment regularly to prevent accumulation of dirt which is more difficult to remove. A pressure washer and mild detergent can be used for cleaning. Do not use strong solvents, and do not spray directly at the hydraulic components, or at the labels on the attachment.
27 (30) 7.5 Mower blades There are a total of 19 blades, product number 65810. Their teethed edges help to retain good cutting properties over a long time. Damaged blades can be replaced, and also blade guides should be checked and replaced as necessary.
