Preparing for Operation

Operating the rear-mounted disc mower combination

requires three single acting control units on the tractor.

• Control unit (1) (blue) lifts the mowers from headland

to transport position

• Control unit (2) (red) lifts the RH mower from working

to headland position

• Control unit (3) (yellow) lifts the LH mower from

working to headland position

When the hydraulic hose is connected,

the hydraulic control device must be in

floating position or in the “Lower”

position.

or working positions

• The control cable does not come into

contact with the tractor tyres.

EC800006

• Release the pressure before

disconnecting hoses and before any work

is carried out on the hydraulic system.

• Check hydraulic hoses regularly, and

replace any damaged or worn hoses.

Replacement hoses must conform to the

mower manufacturer’s technical

specifications.

• When connecting the hydraulic hoses

to the tractor, the hydraulic system on

both sides must be free from pressure!

• When tracing leakages, use suitable

aids and wear protective goggles to

prevent injury.

• Fluid escaping under high pressure

(hydraulic oil) can penetrate the skin

and cause serious injury! If such

injuries occur, consult a doctor

immediately. Danger of infection!
