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 “Assembling the 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, (45–60 Nm, 33–44 lb.ft)

The spring 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.
