n
Metering slide setting

recommended.
WARNING!
Danger of crushing and shearing due to externally-actuated components
When working on power-operated components (adjusting lever, metering slides), there is a
crushing and shearing risk.
u
Pay attention to the shear point of the metering slide opening and the metering slide during
adjustment.
u
Switch off the tractor engine.
u
Remove the ignition key.
u
Disconnect the power supply between the tractor and the machine.
u
Do not operate hydraulic metering slide during adjustment.

the right-hand and left-hand side.
The mechanics must be able to move freely in order to check the metering slide setting.
