Safety concerning maintenance work on the transmission
When working on the transmission the tractor must be stopped and
secured.
This prevents the machine from suddenly starting to rotate.
If the tractor and the PTO shaft have not been connected following the
instructions serious accidents causing damage to limbs can occur.
When working on the cutting unit:
• The tractor engine must be stopped.
• The ignition key must be removed.
• The PTO shaft must be disconnected.
• The tractor hydraulic system must be disconnected.
• The hand brake must be activated.
Every month
The universal joint between the transmission and the cutterbar is
checked in the following way:
Pull and release the lock.
Open the front guard.
Inspect the condition of the cutting discs for deformities and cracks.
Remove the guard around the PTO shaft between the transmission
and the cutterbar.
