ALTERNATIVE ROTOR LINK POSITIONS
To enable extra angling (on the 1948) of the rotor unit three
positions for the attachment of rotor link to cylinder link are
provided. To achieve more downward angle of the rotor unit (for
trimming far sides of hedges, down steep banks, etc.) the pivot
pin should be fitted through the hole FIGURE 4-2 (A) and for
close in work (with rotor unit angled vertically upwards) through
the hole FIGURE 4-2 (B) in the ram link. The hole FIGURE 4-2
(D) is an intermediate hole.
A. Rest rotor unit on ground.
B. Remove linch pin and link pin.
C. Retract or extend third ram depending on which hole is being
used.
D. Replace Pin.
Grass Cutting
A. Run the rotor at normal speed (I.E. 540 rev/min. PTO speed)
B. Avoid taking in too much grass by regulating tractor speed.
C. If rotor shaft slows down or chokes up in grass, raise the rotor unit and allow grass to fall clear.
D. Before proceeding with the cutting let rotor speed pick up again.
E. Advantage may be gained in exceptional conditions by taking a narrow cut with part of the rotor shaft
running idle.
F. When working alongside or clearing ditches, take a cut along the edge of the ditch so that the ditch limits
can be seen.
G. Keep the highest point of the mower arms directly over the obstacle when working over a hedge or into a
ditch.
