breakaway
From the tractor seat:

Cutting height ad-
justment
Only in horizontal position
Before adjusting the cutting height, the mowing unit must be
• positioned horizontally
• prevented from unwanted lowering
Wear safety shoes
During all work at the machine never bring your feet under the ma-
chine and always wear safety shoes. Wearing safety shoes prevents
or decreases the risk of serious injuries.
The cutting height is adjusted through spacers between the skid disc
and the mowing disc. One spacer per mowing disc is standard mount-
ed. Extra spacers are optional.

No more than three spacers per skid disc may be mounted.
