WARNING SIGNS CE sign The CE sign, which is affixed by the manufacturer, indicates outwardly that this machine conforms to the engineering guideline regulations and the other relevant EU guidelines. EU Declaration of Conformity (see supplement) By signing the EU Declaration of Conformity, the manufacturer declares that the machine being brought into service complies with all relevant safety and health requirements.
ATTACHING TO TRACTOR Attaching implement to tractor Safety hints: see supplement-A1 points 7.), 8a. - 8h.) Centre-mount (M) mower unit to tractor - Adjust lower link accordingly. - Secure the lower hydraulic link so that the appliance cannot swing sideways. Frame in horizontal position - Bring frame into horizontal position by adjusting linkage arm spindle (15).
Setting upper link height using spindle Hydraulic connection - By turning upper link spindle (16) the cutting height is adjus- ted. Minimal hydraulic system: 1 x single-action hydraulic connection (EW) with unpressurized backflow 1 x double-action hydraulic connection (DW), for the starting lock Optimal hydraulic system: 1 x single-action hydraulic connection (EW) with unpressurized backflow 1 x double-action hydraulic connection (DW) for the starting lock...
Settings Screw (7) on the hydraulic unit must also be adjusted accordingly. 1. Disconnect electrical connection (E2, E3). Tractors with a "Load sensing" system - Screw (7) on the hydraulic unit must be screwed in all the way Tractors with a closed hydraulic system JOHN DEERE, CASE MAXUM, CASE MAGNUM, FORD Series 40 - Screw (7) on the hydraulic unit must be screwed in all the way Tractors with a open hydraulic system...
Observe rotation direction of cutting discs • Select appropriate rotation direction for the drive - if the necessary r.p.m. cannot be preselected on the tractor, then turn both gearings (G1, G2) 180°. Note! Before reinstalling a gearing on the NOVACAT 7800 machine: - Swap ventilation screw and drain plug positions.
Combination 3 Safety hint: see supplement A1/ pt. 7, 8a-8h Take note! The lifting gear cannot be progressively raised or lowered. When the hydraulic control valve is activated, the central cutter bar is either com- pletely raised or lowered (danger of crushing). Should it be necessary to convert from Combination 2 to Combination 3, the following steps must be carried out: 1.
Combination 2 Should it be necessary to convert from Combination 3 to Com- bination 2, the following steps must be carried out: 1. Disconnect electrical connection (pos. 2) - Attach the cable to a suitable place on the frame 2. Disconnect hydraulic connection (pos. 3) 3.
TRANSPORT POSITION Driving on public roads • Observe the official regulations of your country. • Travelling on open roads may only be carried out as described in chapter "Transport position". • Protection devices must be in proper condition. • Before travelling bring all swivelling parts into their correct positions and secure against dangerous changes to position.
”DIRECT CONTROL” DEVICE ”DIRECT CONTROL” device In general Before initial operation, various selections must be made using the “Direct Control” operation unit. These selections are particularly important so that the electronic monitoring systems are functioning correctly. After turning on the operation panel (ON) The following LED will light up for about 0.5 secs: * the LED for the selected hydraulic system * the LED for the r.p.m.
”DIRECT CONTROL” DEVICE Monitoring the r.p.m. of the conditioner rotors In general: During operation the desired r.p.m of each individual conditioner is monitored. If the desired r.p.m. of a conditioner drops more than 180 min-1, a signal is heard and the LED of the respective button on the switch panel blinks quickly (12, 13, 14).
”DIRECT CONTROL” DEVICE Description of the buttons Press the relevant button to preselect the desired hydraulic function. If one of the two arrow buttons (A1, B1) are pushed afterwards, the desired hydraulic function will be carried out. If a malfunction occurs: see "Establsih power supply" in the chapter "ATTA- CHING TO TRACTOR"...
”DIRECT CONTROL” DEVICE Conversion from working to transport position Safety Precaution! • Changing from working position to transport position is only to be carried out on even, firm ground. • Only transport the machine in the transport position! • Before swivelling the cutter bar up, turn off the drive and wait for the mower discs to come to a complete standstill.

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.
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.
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.

"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. Swathes Spread width 1.
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 remo- ved.
SWATH DISCS Swath Discs With the swath discs a narrower swath is formed when mowing. This prevents them from being run over by the tractor's wide tyres. Mount guide plates - left (1) and right (2) Setting both tension springs for high dense forage basic setting for short forage...

CROSS CONVEYOR BELT Swath courses - Standard setting - Special setting Left and right conveyor belts deposit the swath into the centre The rotation direction of the motor can be altered. - Swap the connections of both hydraulic lines (Hyd) (only on the right conveyor belt) The swath is then deposited to the outside.
CROSS CONVEYOR BELT Operating methods General The mower unit can be used in three ways. 1. Both cutter bars with coupled cross conveyor belts The cutter bars and cross conveyor belts are swivelled simul- taneously from the working position into the transport position and reversed.

MAINTENANCE 3. Remove oil refill screw (63). Cutter bar oil level check The oil level is measured at the oil refill screw hole. • Under normal operating conditions, oil is to be replenished annual- N.B.: - Check the level of the oil at a working temperature. When cold, the oil is too viscous.
Angular gear Cutter bar - Change oil after the first 50 operating hours. Under normal operating conditions, oil is to be replenished annually Changing oil (OIL LEVEL). - Change oil after the first 50 operating hours or after 100 at the - Change oil after 100 at the latest.
MAINTENANCE Adjustment of sensors Always carry out adjustments and controls in that operating position where the distance from the sensor is smallest. When doing this, a possible assembly clearance should also be taken into account. Distance 2 mm Setting the field transport position (end-of run turns) The following guide is valid for both cutter bars.
Disruptions and remedies to power failure • When there is a disruption in the electrical unit, the required hydraulic function can be carried out by means of an emergency application. • This mode of operation is not suitable for use while working with the machine. The function diagram´s analogue shows the respective outlet button to be used for the required function.

MOUNTING OF MOWING BLADE CHECKING WEAR Attention! Danger of accident if wearing parts are worn Wearing parts are: - mounting of mowing blades (30) - bolts of mowing blades (31) If such wearing parts are worn out they must not be used any longer. Otherwise accidents may be caused through parts that are flinged away (e.g.
Holder for a quick change of cutter blades Changing the Cutter Blades (up to 2003 model) Attention! 1. Insert lever (H) horizontally between cutter disc and For Your Safety holder (30) • Regularly check that cutter blades are tightened firmly! - Cutter blades on a cutter disc should wear out simultaneously (danger of imbalance).
