ATTACHING TO TRACTOR Attaching implement to tractor Safety hints: see supplement-A1 points 7.), 8a. - 8h.) - Attach mower so that the edge of the tractor-side drum is just outside the right-hand tractor tyre! - See also chapter "Side-located attachment", supplement-D - Adjust lower link bolt (1) on frame accordingly.
ATTACHING TO TRACTOR Adjusting lower links • The drive shaft (GW) position should be approximately horizontal when mowing. - Set the tractor's lifting gear accordingly (H1) - Set the tractor hydraulics (ST) using the bit stop. This height allows optimal evenness when working on uneven ground TD 4-00-1 and need not be changed for swinging cutter bar up.

WORKING ON SLOPES Take care when turning on slopes! The tractor's travelling characteristics are influenced by the weight (G) of the mower unit. This can lead to dangerous situations, especially on slopes. Danger of tipping occurs - when the mower unit is facing downhill and in a raised position, - when travelling in a left-hand curve with the mower unit raised, - when travelling in a left-hand curve in the transport position (mower unit completely raised).
STARTING WORK Safety hints Adjustment • Adjust tractor hydraulics in a way that the machine can adapt to 1. Check: uneven ground. - Check wear of blade bolt (31). - The drive shaft (GW) position should be approximately horizontal when mowing. Replace blade holder when bolt diameter is less - Frame horizontal.
STARTING WORK Operation Cutting height adjustment Safety points 1. Adjust cutting height by turning upper link spindle - Turn engine off when (inclination of the cutting discs max. 5°). adjustment, service and repair work is to be done. - Do not work under the Cutting height adjustment machine without safe support.

CONDITIONER Mowing with the conditioner The conditioning effect can be modified: - with lever (13), which adjusts the gap between adjustable plate and rotor. The conditioning effect is most intense with the lever at the bottom of its travel (Pos. 3). However the crop should not be chopped.
CONDITIONER Dismounting and mounting the conditioner Reduce spring tension before dismounting the conditioner Pin bolt (18) in the relative position (a, b, c) - see chapter "MAINTENANCE" Otherwise the danger exists that the mounting frame of the cutter bar could swivel up in jerks and jolts when uncoupling the 1.

CONDITIONER Mowing without Conditioner Take particular notice when the conditioner is detached rom the cutter bar Safety hint A machine with a conditioner (CR) as a complete unit is fitted with proper protection elements. Should the conditioner be detached however, the mowing unit no longer has complete protection covering.
SET THE POSITIONS OF THE GUIDING PLATES Variation NOVACAT 305 extra dry EUROCAT 275 extra dry "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.
SET THE POSITIONS OF THE GUIDING PLATES Dismount guide plate When spreading it could occur that the left mounted guide plate (LB) reduces the spread width. - Mount guide plate (LB) onto the top side of the conditioner If a greater spread width is required, the guide plate can be removed.
SWATHFORMER Montage of the transport-rings. Fitting inner conveying guides Additional transport-rings can be fitted to the inner mowing drums For dense fodder additional conveying guides can be fitted to prevent to prevent clogging when working with dense fodder. clogging Adjustment "8 - 10 cm" Attention! Remove conveying clamp when mowing with the conditioner (CR)
COLLISION SAFETY DEVICE Collision safety device When mowing around trees, fences, boundary stones etc., collisions between the cutter bar and obstacles can occur despite careful and slow driving. 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 safety device to prevent damage to the machine when working at full speed.
MAINTENANCE Safety point Parking in the ope Safety points! • Turn engine off when ad ju st ment, service and repair When parking in the open for work is to be done. long periods of time, clean • Turn engine off piston rods and then coat when ad ju st ment, with grease.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE Holder for a quick change of cutter blades Changing the Cutter Blades Attention! For Your Safety 1. Insert lever (H) horizontally between cutter disc and - Regularly check that cutter blades are tightened firmly! - Cutter blades on a cutter disc should wear out simultaneously (danger of imbalance).
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE Cutters The cutters on a cutting drum should be evenly worn out, (danger of imbalance) otherwise they are to be replaced by new ones. Fahrtrichtung Pay attention to correct assembly! - Cutters with the notation “L” are only to be mounted on the left TD 86/98/08 rotating mowing drum.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE Increased cutting height with high – cut mowing plates Distance disc (basic equipment) • In the basic equipment of the machine the cutting height can be adjusted by adding distance discs - See chapter « Bringing into operation » High - cut mower disc (optional equipment) By doing so the cutting height is increased by 23 mm.
MAINTENANCE Check initial spring tension. 1. Mount the implement onto the tractor - see chapter “Mounting onto Tractor” 2. Lower cutter bar to the ground - the ground bearing load of the cutter bar outside right should be about 75 kg. Alter spring tension 1.
MAINTENANCE - Bj. 2001: At the same time turn the half-bolt 180° and take it out of the bore (17a). Afterwards put in the half-bolt (17) and turn as far as possible so that the pin bolt can be again inserted. + Bj.
