to check for proper assembly and adjustments
before actual cutting begins. Stop and rechcck
all parts after 30 minutes of operation and
rctlghtcn loose parts. Also follow lubricating
instructions found on page 12. Operate tractor
at full throttle. It will be necessary to regulate
tractor forward travel to meet existing cutting
conditions, which can vary greatly* depending
on material that is being cut. HUN INNER

FORMANCE. Cutter bar has additional width
of cut to compensate for overlay. Care must

cessive ground speed when cutting rough ter¬
rain. The lift arm must always be set in
operating position (B) when cutting.
Under severe conditions the sickle knlve.s
should be sharpened after every four hours
