A REPAIRS TO THE CUTTER BAR
A.1Cutter bar assembly/disassembly
The figures placed between brackets correspond with the numerals 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, mower elements can be replaced quickly, as can the drive shaft.
Install supports underneath the cutter bar if it is lifted from the ground, and you intend to carry out
work to the machine.
Dismount the cutter bar as follows.
- Place the machine on a level floor.
- Remove the securing plate (6).
- Untighten the nut (7) by a few turns.
- Lift the cutter bar a few cms from the ground. Block the hydraulics keeping the cutter bar from going down.
- Remove the nut (7) and the ring (8).
- Untighten the five bolts (14) at the bottom of the support and remove the end plate (9).
- Slide the mower elements and intermediate spacers from the connecting rod (3).
