ADVERSE FIELD CONDITIONS
IMPORTANT: Do not use this machine in rocky field
conditions.
Take extra care and precautions in rough, stony, or
debris-ridden fields. Make the following adjustments
to the mower in these conditions to minimize the
possibility of stones and foreign objects being
deflected by cutting blades.
1. Tilt the angle of the cutter bar back by adjusting
the top link length, 1, to raise the cutting height of
the knives. Do not tilt the cutter bar rearward past
horizontal position or premature knife wear will
result.
2. Make sure the cutting knives can pivot if an
obstruction is hit.
3. Install the high stubble kit, if crop conditions allow
a higher cutting height, to provide additional
clearance from stones or foreign objects.
WARNING

curtain in place. Failure to comply could result in
death or serious injury.
WARNING

support. The support is not designed for such
loads and could fail, causing injury. Failure to
comply could result in death or serious injury.
WARNING

deflected toward the operator on machines with
rotary blades. Failure to comply could result in
death or serious injury.
WARNING
Tilt the cutter bar back in fields where stones and
foreign objects are present to raise the cutting
knives and minimize deflection from the knives.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious
injury.
WARNING
