MOWING
- Remove support (C and D, Fig. 28) and remount them, upside-
down in their seat .
- Remove tie rod (A, Fig. 29) from the cutting arm and secure it in
its seat.
- Remove safety hook (B1, Fig. 28), required only for transportation,
and ¿ t it back in the slot positioned above the chassis.
- The mower is ¿ tted with a safety device for protection against
obstacles. If this device is tripped by impact with an obstacle,
stop the tractor without raising the cutting arm. Check that the
universal joint has not become seperated, if so, reassemble it.
Position the safety tie rod parallel to the ground, and reverse
the tractor until the safety tie rod hooks up again. If the tie
rod releases easly, adjust spring (T, Fig. 30) using nut (U, Fig.
30) which should be tightened half turn at a time.
ATTENTION
A spring compression other than that indicated in Figure 30 (15
mm) can make the safety device ineffective.
For successful mowing and to avoid jamming, we advise you to:
- Set and maintain the power take-off at a constant rate of 540
rpm to ensure correct blade frequency; maintain an engine
speed of 1800÷2000 rpm.
- compatibly with the soil conditions and the type of fodder, main-
tain a steady work speed: no slower than 8 km/h to favour the
discharging of the mown fodder and no faster than 10 km/h to
avoid breaking or damaging the machine's structure.
- if the fodder is tangled or À attened, keep the cutting bar grazing
the ground.
ATTENTION
If the blades become jammed, it is advisable to intervene
carefully wearing suitable personal protection gear.
All the maintenance, adjustment and work preparation ope-
rations, must be carried out with the tractor strictly switched
off and properly stationary, with the ignition key out and the
planter on the ground.
- Always raise the implement in order to reverse or change
direction.
- The cutting arm should not be raised abruptly in order to
avoid damaging the cutting blades.
- Do not work whit P.T.O. in synchronism with the wheels.
- Power take-off must not exceed 540 r.p.m.
- Never run the motor at maximum power while mowing.
- In order to prevent breakages or damage, the speed of the
tractor must never exceed 10 Km/hour when the implement
is working.
The mowing machine has sharp cutting blades. Always make
sure that there are no person, chidren, domestic animals,
electrical cables, pipes and so forth, within the fi eld of action
of the implement.
HAZARD BAR
The hazard bar has been included with the equipment of the
machine for safety reasons, to indicate the space occupied by the
mower at work. For working, position the hazard bar in position
(V) (Figure 31) and lock it in place with the screw (Z). For transport
put it in position (W).
