5.5. Switching from transport to working position
WARNING!
Switching the mower from operating position to transport position and vice
versa could only take place on even and stable ground. Prior to approaching
works make sure whether there are no unauthorized persons exposed to getting
crushed.
The safely move to the operating position, do the following:
❑ open the shut-off valve on the hydraulic cylinder (Fig. 12a),
❑ lower the mower until the cutterbar is at least 40 cm / 1′ 4″ above the ground,
❑ make sure there is nobody around in the place where you are going to lower the mower,
❑ tighten the cord until the lock G is released (Fig. 10) and by means of hydraulic cylinder put
the mower into horizontal position,
❑ with tractor’s lever lower the cutterbar to reach the horizontal position in a possibly slow way,
❑ lower the mower until the support chain tightens. If the 3-point linkage frame is more than 40 cm
above the ground, adjust the chain.
❑ By means of link S (Fig. 8) adjust the cutting height. Extending the link S increases the cutting
height and shortening the link reduces it.
❑ The proper distance between the end of cutterbar and tractor’s tyre Y should be about 0 to
10 cm / 4″ for KDT 180, KDT 220, KDT 260. For KDT 300 Y should be from 30 / 11.8″ to
40 cm / 1′ 4″. For KDT 340 from 50 / 1′ 8″ to 60 cm / 1′ 12″.
