TRANSPORT Conversion from working to transport position Safety • Before swivelling the cutter bar up, turn Precaution! off the drive and wait for the mower discs to come to a complete standstill. Changing from working position • Make sure that swivel area is free and that to transport nobody is standing in the danger area.
TRANSPORT Driving on public roads • Observe the official regulations of your country. • Driving on public roads must be carried out in the transport position only • Protection devices must be in proper condition. • Before travelling bring all swivelling parts into their correct positions and secure against dangerous changes to position.

TRANSPORT Unhitch device from tractor Safety Caution! note: Only park the mower combination in the Only park the disc working position (both mower units are mower on firm, folded down). Maximum danger of tipping level ground and over if the mower combination is parked ensure a secure in the transport position.
OPERATION Important points before starting work Safety hints: 1. Check 5. Stay clear while engine is running. see supplement-A1 - Check the condition of knives and the knife holder. points 1. - 7.) - Check cutting drums for damage (see also chapter "Maintenance").
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. Smoothly increase the p.t.o. speed, in order to avoid noises in the free-wheel conditioned by the system.
OPERATION Working on slopes Take care when turning on slopes! Safety advice • Reduce speed in curves accordingly. The tractor's travelling characteristics are influenced by the weight (G) of the mower unit. This can lead to • It is better to travel in reverse on a slope than to carry out a risky dangerous situations, especially on slopes.
