Assembly: Cutterbar to Drive/Machine
The assembly of the cutterbar is only permitted at points agreed between ESM and the respective device manufacturer. Should the
installation respectively the drive deviate, then the manufacturer of the completed machinery is responsible for the assembly and operational
safety as well as for the provision of comprehensive assembly instructions in his operating manual!
Side-/Central drive:
Assembly of the Cutterbar is described briefly in the following. The assembly instructions for the respective cutter drive specify the detailed
procedure:
4.
Attachment of the knife head (if not already factory-assembled).
5.
Attachment of the cutterbar to the cutter drive using the screws provided (it must be ensured that the connecting bolt encroaches
into the knife head).
6.
When possible, manually check the function of the implement without a mechanical drive at first and if required, assemble the
safety equipment and knife protection strip
Intended Use:
This equipment may only be used for standard agricultural, forestry and municipal mowing, as well as for extensive landscape cutting
operations. In special cases (refer to the specific operating instructions) operation of the equipment is also allowed when it is in a vertical
position. Any use other than the intended is not permitted and the manufacturer accepts no liability for any damages which may thereby be
incurred.
The Intended use also includes the adherence to all safety, assembly, disassembly, commissioning, operation and servicing specifications of
the manufacturer and the distributors.
For your own safety, never operate the cutterbar;
.
at a rotational speed higher than 1100 rpm (on a short stroked cutterbar (~ 55 mm))
.
at a rotational speed higher than 850 rpm (on a long stroked cutterbar (~ 85 mm))
Attention!
Due to its functional design, all potential risks cannot be eliminated. The attached document "General Safety Instructions" makes
reference to these residual risks, for the avoidance of which the operator bears the full responsibility!
Maintenance: Inspection, Adjustment and Cleaning
Operational breakdowns caused by inadequate or improper maintenance may lead to high repair costs and long downtimes of the cutterbar.
Regular inspections and maintenance to assure operational reliability is therefore essential!!
.
Only sharp, well adjusted and ground knives work trouble free
.
The mowing knives must always be straight, bent knife sections and knife backs must be straightened
.
If there is heavy wear-off or damage to the knife, we recommend replacing the knife
.
Damaged, loose or worn out knife sections need to be replaced
.
Knife sections must lie on top of one another without any free-play between them. Should this not be the case, the knife guides
must be readjusted or need to be replaced due to heavy wear down.
