STARTING WORK Important points before starting work 4. Stay clear while engine is running. Safety hints: see supplement-A1 points 1. - 7.) After the ﬁrst hours of operation • Retighten all knife screw ﬁttings. bsb 447 410 Safety hints - Keep people out of the danger zone - foreign bodies which can be ejected by the mower could injure them.
Page 20: Operation
STARTING WORK Operation 1. Adjust cutting height by turning upper link spindle (inclination of the cutting discs max. 5°). 2. To mow, gradually supply power to the p.t.o. before entering the crop and bring the mowing discs up to full revs.
Page 21: Collision Safety Device
STARTING WORK 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.
