bumper contacts the middle beam, � disconnect the tractor engine and engage neutral or engage hand-brake, so the tractor is

protected from moving, � put the mower safety breakaway device onto pin on the catch and protect with a safety pin

(Fig. 9).

b) In order to switch the mower safety breakaway device from operating to transport position, the following steps should be taken: � lower the mower cutterbar onto the ground, � disconnect the tractor engine and engage neutral or engage hand-brake, so the tractor is

protected from moving, � remove the safety pin and take the safety breakaway device off from the pin (Fig. 8), � connect the tractor engine, turn the wheels left most and drive the tractor forward until

the transport position clip is locked.

5. OPERATION OF THE MOWER 5.1. Attaching the mower to the tractor

The mower is connected to the tractor’s 3-point-linkage.

Once the mower is suspended the setting shall be adjusted on even ground with use of adjustment screw S (Fig. 10) and hangers W of the tractor lower links. The mower discs should be parallel to the ground; hence this is a condition for sustainable stubble management. Hangers W of the tractor lower links should be placed on pins A of the mower 3-point linkage frame.

Connect the mower hydraulic hose (optional) to the tractor one-section hydraulic connector. In order to achieve this entire unit must be weighed first, then drive onto the scale only with the front axle of the tractor (the mower must be in the transport position, lifted up). If the weight of the front axle of the tractor is at least 20% of the entire weight of the unit then steering ability has been preserved. If this is not the case the front axle should be additionally weighed down.

CAUTION: Operate machinery only with the articulated telescoping shafts designated for use with that machinery. Before strating work chceck if all the covers (tractor, machinery and shaft) are in place and functioning. Gamage or lost elements must be replaced with original spares. Check weather the articulated telescoping ahaft is properly installed. Never get close to rotating part sit could result in injury or death. During servicing of the shaft or the machine the engine and the power take-off the tractor must be turned off. Before operating any machinery carefully read the operating manuals of the shaft and the machine.

CAUTION: For Z 010/2 mower use shaft with right overrunning clutch only. See Tab. 2 and Fig. 4b. Use of shaft with no clutch may cause serious damage to the mower and therefore warranty to be invalid.

5.5. Adjustment of conditioner shaft’s position

Correct position of conditioner’s shaft in relation to cutting plates enables proper distribution of grass swath for further treatment. In order to achieve this pay particular attention to placement of lift, so constant distance of ∼2 cm is kept between ends of flails and surface of cutting plate. In the event of dense and abundant grass, the tolerance should be increased up to ∼3 cm, so soil breaker is prevented from clogging. Adjustment of this distance is performed with use of spacers installed between mower’s frame and conditioner’s lift (Fig. 18).

Fig. 18. Adjustment of conditioner shaft’s position

5.6. Replacement of flails in conditioner’s shaft

If flails worn on normal basis, they must be replaced. Prior to commencing any operation, on each occasion check condition of bolts, on which flails are set as well as condition of flails themselves.

CAUTION: By replacement of crimper’s ram always use a new bolt M12x50, zinc. cl. 8.8 and a new self-locking nut M12, zinc. cl. 8, tightening torque 55 Nm.

6.4. Adjusting the cutting height The mower has a factory-set cutting height of 58 - 60 mm. The cutting height can be adjusted

by removing a distance ring (spacer), as shown in (Fig. 25). After removing a new cutting height of 50 - 52 mm is achieved. By putting one additional spacer over the support saucer a cutting height of 66 - 68 mm is obtained. Additional spacers are available (optional extras).

CAUTION: When mounting additional distance rings longer bolts - M10x35 must be used and tightened to a torque of 55 Nm.

Fig. 25. Adjusting the cutting height by fitting or removing the distance ring

6.5. 3-point linkage support chain (Model Z 010/2)

Support chain (Fig. 25) is used to ensure 3-point linkage frame of the mower is always at the same height, to set the mowing unit parallel to the ground and to relieve the hydraulic lift of the tractor. If the cutting unit is not set parallel to the ground, the bearings of sliding saucers will be subject to premature wear.

When connecting mower to the tractor, the hanger plate “A” of support chain should be disconnected from chain and put on the pin “B” of top link. Then the mower has to be lifted with hydraulic lift about 40 cm high (Fig. 20). The support chain is then connected to the hanger plate “A” so that is tensioned when the mower is in the working position.

6.6. Maintenance and service 6.6.1. Checking the knives and knife holders

All knives should have the same lengths and weights. Always check mower before starting work for damaged, missing and/or worn blades (knives). Replace blades, if necessary, only in sets. Make sure all knives in a set are of the same length and weight. The knife holders must not be damaged or deformed and the knife holder pin, on which the knife is pivoting, shouldn’t be worn down by more than 50% of its cross-section (Fig. 27). If the knife holder pin is worn too much and/or the knife holder is worn or deformed on the outside edges, please replace the knife holder immediately. The riveting of the pin in the knife holder must be checked for safety and quality too. If the riveting is loose, replace the knife holder.

Fig. 27. Permissible wear of knife holders

6.6.2. Checking the V-belts tension

Check the V-belt tension. Their deflection under finger pressure must not exceed 30 mm. V-belts are tensioned with spring tensioner (Fig. 28) equipped with checking plate (1). Distance “A” between plate tip and holder should be 0 – 3.0 mm. If the gap is wider the V-belts will be looser.

When any of the belts are damaged, the complete set must be replaced.
