The first mower unit is driven from the top. A spring-steel shaft then transfers
the drive from the first mower unit to the other mower units. All mower units
are directly driven by this shaft.
The mower units turn in pairs, either clockwise or counterclockwise.
The mower knives are connected to the mower units by the Splendimo Clip
quick-release system. This enables easy replacement of mower knives.
1.2 Hydraulic System
The hydraulic system raises and lowers the cutter bars. It also permits
operation with one cutter bar in the headland position.
When the hydraulic system is set to the floating position the cutter bars can
closely follow ground contours.

1.3.1 Wear Plates

1.3.2 Topping Skids
Topping skids can be installed on the bottom of the skids to raise the mowing
height
approximately 3 cm. This is used for topping or when the mower is used
on rough ground, and reduces damage to the cutter bar by stones and other
debris.
If topping skids are installed, position 2 or 3 of the parking jack must be used.
1.3.3 Agitators
Agitators can be installed on the mower discs to improve the crop flow across
the cutter bar in certain circumstances.
