MAINTENANCE

Checking the Blades

In order to attain the best mowing effect, it is important that the blades are well sharpened and not damaged. :

Bent or cracked blades or blades with large nicks must be replaced.

Check the blade mounts.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The replacement or sharpening of blades should be carried out by an authorized service workshop.

Damaged blades should be replaced when hitting obstacles that result in a breakdown. Let the service workshop decide whether the blade can be repaired/ground or must be replaced.

Brake Rod Adjustment

1.Make sure the rod is installed into the proper hole in the brake arm. The brake rod should be in the lower hole on the brake arm.

2.To increase braking, turn the wing nut down on the rod. Do not turn the wing nut down too far as this will result in a constant braking action and will excessively wear the brake lining and cause premature failure.

Under side of rear deck

Remove grass and debris.
