3 TRANSPORT
The SPLENDIMO PC mower can be transported behind the
tractor as follows:
- Lift the complete mower conditioner by means of the lift
ram (fig. 5) and both wheel rams (fig. 6)
- Completely retract the drawbar by means of the drawbar
ram (fig. 4)
- Block the hydraulic action of all rams by closing the ram
valves (fig. 5 and 6)
Stop the tractor engine. Disengage the PTO shaft from the
tractor PTO and place it in the catch hook (fig. 3).
- Remove the safety shield from the RH side of the machine
and place it at the front of the main chassis (fig. 7).
- Remove the safety screen from the LH side of the machine
and fixate it to the drawbar.
- Turn the RH disc in such a way that it is at right angles with
the cutter bar (fig. 7) and make sure that the blade on the
LH disc is turned inwards (please refer to 3 m transport
decal).
Use all such lighting and warning signals as are man-
datory by law (or other regulations prescribed by the
authorities).
The machine is now ready for transport.
4 MACHINE ADJUSTMENTS
4.1 Adjusting from the transport to the working
position
Adjust the machine as follows:
- Release the hydraulic action from the rams by opening the
ram valves.
- Lower the machine by putting the single acting valve into
the floating position.
- Ensure the horizontal position of the drawbar by means of
the tractor hydraulics. Take tractor wheeling into account.
- Limit a downward movement with, for instance, a stabi-
lisation chain (optional extra) if it is impossible to keep the
hydraulics at the pre-set height.
- Fit the two safety shields to the sides of the machine
(fig. 8).
Fit the safety chain of the protection tube to a solid part of
the tractor.
- Atach the PTO shaft to the tractor PTO.
