Resumen del manual
It’s now time to do a running operational safety check. It is important that at any time during this safety check you detect amalfunction in either the cutter or tractor that you immediately shut the tractor off, remove the key, and make necessary repairs and/or adjustments before continuing on. Make sure before starting the tractor that the park brake is engaged, the PTO is disengaged, and the cutter is resting on the ground with both wings down. Start the tractor and set the engine throttle speed at a low idle. Raise the cutter with the tractor’s rear hydraulic lift control lever to transport position making sure that the PTO shaft does not bind and does not contact the cutter frame. Lower the cutter to the ground and at a low engine speed engage the PTO. If everything is running smoothly at a low idle, slowly raise the cutter to transport height checking for bind or chatter in the driveline. Lower the cutter to the ground and increase the tractor’s engine rpm until it reaches the cutter’s full PTO operating speed which will be either 540 or 1000rpm. If everything is still running smoothly, once more raise the cutter to transport height to check for driveline bind or chatter. Lower the cutter to the ground, return the engine to a low idle, and disengage the PTO. Position the adjustable stops on the tractor’s hydraulic lift lever so the cutter can be consistently returned to the same cutting and transport height. Make a tight turn to ensure that the rear tractor tires are not coming into contact with the deck. You should now be ready to transport to your cutting site at a safe ground speed. On roadways, transport in such a manner that faster moving vehicles can easily see you and pass you safely. Reduce your speed when traveling over rough and hilly terrain. Avoid quick or sharp steering corrections. Take extra care to insure that the mower doesn’t come into contact with obstacles such as trees, buildings or fences. Use accessory lights and Table of Contents Land Pride Section 2: Operating Instructions appropriate reflective devices to provide adequate warning to pedestrians and other vehicle operators when traveling on public roads and in the dark of night. Comply with all local, state and federal laws. It is important that you inspect the area where you will be cutting and clear it of safety hazards and foreign objects either before or after you arrive at the cutting site. Never assume the area is clear. Cut only in areas you are familiar with and are free of debris and unseen objects. Extremely tall grass should be cut twice to detect potential hazards. In the event you do strike an object stop the cutter and tractor immediately to inspect and make necessary repairs to the cutter before resuming operation. It really pays to inspect a new area and to develop a safe plan before cutting. You will need to maintain either 540 or 1000 rpm PTO speed and 2 to 5 mph ground speed to produce a clean cut. Make a tractor gear and range selection that will enable you to maintain these speed combinations. Generally the quality of cut is better at lower ground speeds. Dense ground cover will create the need to slow down even more. In certain conditions tractor tires will roll grass down resulting in an uneven cut when the grass fails to rebound. Should this happen you may try reversing the direction of cut and/or double cut to achieve the desired finish. Avoid very low cutting heights especially on extremely uneven terrain. Always cut downward on slopes and avoid crossing the face of steep slopes. Avoid sharp drops and cross diagonally through dips to prevent hanging up the tractor and cutter. Slow down in turns and avoid sharp turns if at all possible. Remember to look back often. Now that you’re prepared and well briefed you may begin cutting. Begin cutting by doing the following: • Reducing the tractor’s engine rpm. • Make sure the wings are on the ground and the cutter is in cutting position. • Engage the PTO. • Raise the engine rpm to the appropriate PTO speed. • Begin cutting. Make wide turns when possible. Operators of pull-type models must plan ahead and choose a cutting pattern that allows for wider turns. Try increasing or decreasing ground speed to determine the effect on quality of cut. With a little practice you will be pleased with what you and your Land Pride Rotary Cutter can do. Whether you are done mowing, need to take a break, or just need to make a few adjustments to the cutter, remember to always do the following: • Reduce the tractor’s engine rpm. • Disengage the PTO. • Stop on level ground. • Set the park brake. • Turn off the engine and remove the key. • Stay on the tractor until the cutter blades have come to a complete stop. 20 RCB6010 & RCB6015 (540 RPM) and RCMB6010 & RCMB6015 (1000 RPM) Rotary Cutters 318-263M 9/04/08 Land Pride Table of Contents Section 3: Adjustments Center and Wing Section Leveling These adjustments should be made with the cutter hooked up to the same tractor that will b...
