MAINTENANCE

Checking and adjusting the cutting unit’s ground pressure

To achieve the best cutting results the cutting unit should follow the underlying surface without pressing too hard against it.

The pressure is adjusted with a screw on each side of the machine.

1.Check the air pressure in the tyres 60 kPa (0.6 kp/cm2/8.5 PSI).

2.Place the Rider on a flat surface.

3.Put the lifting lever in the mowing position.

4.Place a set of bathroom scales under the cutting unit’s frame (front edge) so that it rests on the scales. If necessary a block can be placed between the frame and scales so that the support wheels do not bear any weight.

5.Adjust the unit’s ground pressure by screwing in or out the adjusting screws located behind the front wheels on both sides.

The ground pressure should be between 12 and 15 kg (26.5-33 lb).
