ATTACHMENT Hitch mower up to tractor Important: The mower must be aligred so that the edge of the tractor-side drum is just outside the right-hand tractor tyre. - Unterlenkerbolzen am Anbaurahmen entsprechend verstellen. - After hitching the mower at the tractor’s 3 point linkage, set it horizontal (as seen from behind) by adjusting spindles (15) of the linkage arms.
ATTACHMENT - Make hydraulic plug connection for pivoting cylinder. • Before using for the first time, the length of the drive shaft must be checked and adjusted if necessary (see also supplement B „Drive shaft adaption“). How to use the jack stand - Lift cutter bar with the tractor hydraulics.
TRANSPORT Converting from operating to transport position Safety Precaution! Changing from - Lower the cutter bar on to ground. working position - To release the hooks (40), pull on the cable and then to transport move forwards with the tractor. At the same time, the position is only to cutter bar swivels back as far as possible until the be carried out on...
TRANSPORT Changing from transport- to working position Safety Precaution! Changing from transport position Swinging the cutter bar down. to working position is only to be carried out on 1. Make sure that swivel area is free and that nobody is even, firm ground.
TRANSPORT Road Transport • Observe the regulations issued by your country's legislative body. • Travelling on public roads may only be undertaken as is described in the chapter "Transporting Position". • Fasten lower hydraulic link so that implement cannot swing out sideways. Parking the machine - When the implement ist parked, either remove the driveshaft and store it, or secure it with a chain.
STARTING WORK Important points befor starting work (see supplement-A1 points 1, 3 and 4) Positioning (60 cm): - The tractor hydraulics must be set to enable the mower to adapt to uneven ground surfaces. This means that the lowest hydraulic position (60 cm) must be limited. TD20/91/1a - Mounting frame horizontal.
STARTING WORK - Check initial spring tension. Adjustment settings: 530 mm without conditioner 490 mm with conditioner TD 20/98/03 Safety hints 1. Check: - Check wear of blade bolt (31). Replace blade holder when bolt diameter is less than 9 mm. - Check blade holder (30) on damage.

STARTING WORK 4. Pay attention to correct p.t.o. direction of rotation! To mow, slowly throw in the p.t.o. away from the mowing area and bring the mowing rotor up to full speed. The travelling speed depends on ground contours and type of forage.
CUTTING HEIGHT Cutting height adjustment By adjusting the center disc (M), the cutting height can be adjusted to any interval between 30 mm and 65 mm. TD41/90/37 - Bring the pitch cutter bar into the vertical position and lock (13). For Your Safety: Der Stützfuß...
CONDITIONER Variation (...-BJ 1998) Mowing with the conditioner - You can modify the conditioning effect with lever (13), which adjusts the gap between adjustable plate and rotor. The conditioning effect is most inlense with the lever at the buttom of its travel. However the crop should not be chopped.

EXTRA DRY Variation "Extra dry" system Note The settings listed below are to be understood as basic settings. Because of the various types of crops, an optimum setting of the guiding plates can possibly first be ascertained when the machine is in use.
ANTI-HINDRANCE SAFETY DEVICE Anti-hindrance safety device: When moving around trees, fences, boundary stones etc., collisions between the cutter bar and obstacles can occur despite careful and slow driving techniques. Therefore,in order to prevent such damage, collision protection has been planned for the cutting device. Attention! It is not the intention of the collision protection to prevent damage to the machine when working at full speed.
