Operation Securing the mower for road travel For longer road travel to the implementation site the mower can be safeguarded against oscillation. There are two possibilities for this; via the shut-off valves and via the locking pin. The safeguard must be removed for mowing! 6.1.1 Via shut-off valves (Only included for the option: Lift-out in maintenance position)
Operation 6.1.2 Via locking pin The mower deck can also be secured via the depicted locking pin. Fig. 15: Locking pin Adjusting the cutting height on the rigid frame Attention! Adjust the four wheels uniformly. Fig. 16: Caster on the rotary mower 1.
Operation Adjusting the cutting height on the hydraulic frame Caution – moving parts. Prior to changing the cutting height, ensure that no one is on the mower. The mower can be adjusted in height via the hydraulic cylinder. Fig. 17: Hydr. height adjustment Fig.
Operation Swing up the mower into maintenance position and swing it back down Do not switch on the mower in maintenance position. Switch off the engine and remove the ignition key, after the mower has been brought into mainte- nance position.
