New Machine - be careful
Read the directions for use. Great care must be taken, when starting up a new machine. Incorrect
mounting, wrong operations, etc., can result in expensive repairs and loss of profits. Bush Hog’s
factory warranty is voided if the instructions of this manual are not adhered to.
NOTICE
Be especially attentive to the following when starting a new machine.
Check that the machine is mounted correctly, and that it is not damaged. Machines with hydraulic
stabilizer: Be certain that the hydraulic hoses are mounted so that they are long enough to allow
for cylinder movements.
Be very careful when the machine is coupled to the tractor. If the coupling has not been carried
out as explained in this manual the machine will not work correctly. Please note that the working
height (A) is adjusted correctly. See page 24.
Be very careful when fitting the PTO shaft. If the PTO shaft is too short or too long it can cause
great damage to the machine and tractor. Overriding clutch must be fitted on the shaft end of the
machine. See pages 22 & 23.
If the PTO shafts of the machine are noisy or vibrating the fitting instructions must be repeated.
See pages 22 & 23.
It is very important to check the area of motion of the stabilizer. If the adjustment has not been
carried out as explained in this manual the machine will not work correctly. See page 24.
Before starting up a new machine it must be lubricated. Check that gearbox and cutterbar are
filled with oil and that the oil level is correct. Use only the oil grades prescribed in the manual.
Check that all bolts at cutting discs and knives are tightened before the machine is started.
Check and re-tighten all bolts on the machine after the first hour of operation. This is espe-
cially important for quickly rotating parts. Also re-tighten after service work has been
carried out.
