Husqvarna ProFlex 21 manual Cutting unit’s service position, Ground pressure

MAINTENANCE

Ground pressure

In order to achieve the best mowing result the cutting unit should follow the ground without touching it too heavily. Pressure is adjusted using a screw and spring on each side of the Rider.

Adjust the cutting unit’s ground pressure in the following manner:

1.Place a set of bathroom scales under the cutting unit’s frame (on the front edge) so that the unit rests on the scales. If necessary a block can be placed between the frame and the scales so that the anti-scalp rollers do not support any weight.

2.Adjust the cutting unit’s ground pressure by screwing the adjuster screws, which are located behind the front wheels on both sides, in or out.

The ground pressure should be between 12 and 15 kg and the springs evenly tensioned.

The cutting unit’s service position

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

Placing in the service position

1.Place the unit so that it hangs on the outer hooks by carrying out steps 1-11 under “Removing the cutting unit” on page 53.

2.Take hold of the unit’s front edge and lift it to a vertical position. The unit locks automatically in the vertical position.

Releasing the service position

1.Ease up the unit’s edge (tilt it back), move the handle forward and slowly lower the unit to the horizontal position.

2.Slide the unit into its working position by carrying out steps 4-8 under “Attaching the cutting unit” on page 47.
