Centre-mount (M) mower unit to tractor

- Adjust lower link accordingly.

- Secure the lower hydraulic link so that the appliance

cannot swing sideways.

Frame in horizontal position

- Bring frame into horizontal position by adjusting linkage

arm spindle (15).

Setting lower link height

- Adjust tractor's hydraulics (ST) using bottom stop.

- The drive shaft (GW) should be about horizontal

when mowing.

OPERATION GB

Take care when turning on slopes!

The tractor's travelling characteristics are influenced

by the weight (G) of the mower unit. This can lead to

dangerous situations, especially on slopes.

Danger of tipping occurs

• when the mower units are in a raised position

• when travelling in a curve with the mower units raised

Safety advice

• Reduce speed in curves accordingly.

• It is better to travel in reverse on a slope than to carry out a risky

turning manoeuvre.

These selections

are particularly

important so that

the electronic

monitoring

systems are

functioning

correctly.

Settings before initial operation

After turning on the operation panel (ON)

The following LED will light up for about 0.5 secs:

* the LED for the selected hydraulic system

* the LED for the r.p.m. of the conditioner rotors

Selecting the hydraulic system

1. Make the connection to the switch box (E1)

Couple power supply cable to tractor (E2)

2. Press and hold down the button for the hydraulic system

needed

A1 = closed hydraulic system (LED A1)

B1 = open hydraulic system (LED B1)

11 = “load sensing” hydraulic system (LED 11)

3. Zusätzlich die Taste "I/O" (10) drücken.

After about 5 seconds the relative LED lights up briefly

and the selected hydraulic system is stored.

When the storing process is completed, a short signal

is heard.

4. Release the button (A1, B1, 10, 11)

Setting the r.p.m of the conditioner

rotors

1. Make the connection to the switch box (E1)

2. Press and hold down the button for the drive variant

1000-GB DIRECT CONTROL_384

In general:

During operation the desired r.p.m of each individual

conditioner is monitored.

If the desired r.p.m. of a conditioner drops more than 180

min-1, a signal is heard and the LED of the respective button

on the switch panel blinks quickly (12, 13, 14).

Other settings

Monitoring the r.p.m. of the conditioner rotors

Elapsed time will start to be counted as soon as the r.p.m

of the p.t.o exceeds 300 min-1.

Elapsed time can be read on the LCD indicator inside the

job calculator housing.

Elapsed time is displayed in the following format

alternating with sensor diagnostics:

Elapsed time < 100:

14:36

Elapsed time < 100>

0346

Cancelling: When the r.p.m increases again, the whistling

and blinking passes at a slow rate. Only now can the

button be pushed (cancelling) and the whistling and

blinking will cease.

Note: In every instance the reason for the drop in r.p.m must

be eliminated otherwise cancelling cannot take place.

- Decrease speed,

- remove blockage,

- repair plug connection and cable.

- replace faulty sensor.

Monitoring only functions when the sensor is plugged in

and is not faulty.

The p.t.o is monitored in order to prevent any damage to

the cardan shaft when swinging the side mower unit out

over the field transport position

The button 11 function (road transportation)

can only be selected when the p.t.o sensor

hasn’t sent any impulses for at least 8

seconds.

- Drive shafts should no longer be turning.
