A REPAIRS TO THE CUTTER BAR
A.1 Cutter bar assembly/disassembly
The numbers between brackets correspond to the numbers in figure A-1.
The cutter bar is built up of independent units (1). These mower elements are kept apart by intermediate spacers (2).
The units and spacers are kept together by a connecting rod (3).
The cutting units are driven from the drive element (4) by a drive shaft (5).
Thanks to the modular design, a cutting unit or drive shaft can be replaced quickly.
Install supports below the cutter bar if it is lifted from the ground and you intend to carry out work
underneath the machine.
Dismount the cutter bar as follows.
- Attach the machine to the tractor's front hydraulics.
- Place the machine on a level floor.
- Remove the securing plate (6).
- Unscrew the nut (7) by a few turns.
- Loosen the five bolts (14) at the bottom of the support and remove them.
- Lift the cutter bar a few centimetres off the ground. Block the hydraulics so that the machine cannot be lowered.
- Remove the nut (7) and the ring (8).
- Remove the end plate (9).
- Slide the mower elements and intermediate spacers from the connecting rod (3).
