MAINTENANCE

Service position for the cutting unit

The cutting unit can be set in a service position to provide good access for cleaning, servicing and repair. The service position means that the unit is raised and locked in the vertical position.

Placing in the service position

1.Position the unit so it hangs over the outer hooks by carrying out sections 1–11 under ”Removing the cutting unit”.

2.Take hold of the front edge of the unit and lift it vertically. The unit is automatically locked in the vertical position.

Releasing from the service position

1.Loosen the top edge of the unit (move it backwards), move the handle forwards and slowly lower the unit to its horizontal position.

2.Slide the unit into its working position by carrying out sections 4–8 under ”Fitting the cutting unit”.

Checking the blades

To achieve the best mowing results it is important that the blades are undamaged and well- sharpened.

Check that the blades’ attachment screws are tight, (45–50 Nm, 33–44 lb.ft)

The friction washer and break-pin should also be replaced when replacing the blades.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Replacing or sharpening the blades should be conducted by an authorised service workshop.

The blades should be balanced after sharpening.

Damaged blades should be replaced when hitting obstacles that result in a breakdown. Let the servicing dealer judge whether the blade can be repaired/ground or must be discarded.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The Bioclip 103 unit should always have the blades in the relative positions shown in the diagram, with a 90° angle between the blades. Otherwise the blades can go against each other and cause serious damage to the unit.
