MAINTENANCE

The engine will not start unless the clutch/brake pedal is depressed and the cutter drive is disengaged.

WARNING

The engine will stop if the operator leaves the seat with the speed selector engaged and/ or the cutter drive engaged.

WARNING

If the interlock system fails, see an authorised Rover Service Dealer. Do not operate the mower until the fault is corrected.

CAUTION

The safety switch circuit may become defective if wet. Do not spray switches and connections.

STORAGE:

Never store the engine with fuel in tank indoors or in poor ventilated enclosures where the fuel fumes may accumulate.

If the machine is to be stored over 30 days proceed as follows:

1.Remove all fuel from the carburettor and the fuel tank to prevent varnish-like gum deposits.

2.Remove the spark plug and pour 30ml of engine oil into the cylinder. Crank the engine several times to distribute the oil. Replace the spark plug.

3.Clean the engine and cooling fins, etc., and any clippings, dirt and chaff.

4.Clean the underside of the mower and cutting unit. Paint any chips or scratches.

5.Lubricate the chassis components.

6.Remove and charge the battery and store in a cool dry spot. Recharge every 30 days.

7.Store the machine in a clean dry place.

REMOVAL FROM STORAGE

1.Change the oil

2.Fill the fuel tank with fuel

3.Check the spark plug

4.Check the drive belts

5.Check the drive chain

6.Lubricate the drive chain

7.Lubricate the pivot points

8.Grease the front axle spindles

9.Check the tyre pressure 10.Check safety interlock 11.Check cutting blades.

SAFETY SWITCH ADJUSTMENTS

Clutch Brake Pedal

1.Depress the clutch brake pedal and apply the parking brake.

2.Loosen the two safety switch retaining screws and slide the safety switch towards the rear of the mower. Fig. 29

3.Depress the clutch brake pedal and release the parking brake allowing the clutch brake pedal to return to its normal disengaged position.

4.Slide the safety switch towards the tab on the clutch brake shaft. Position the safety switch with a clearance of 6mm between the safety switch body and the tab.

5.Tighten the two safety switch retaining screws.

Cutter Engagement Safety Switch

The cutter engagement safety switch does not require any routine adjustment. It should be checked occasionally for operation, working condition and it’s fasteners checked for tightness.

Seat Panel Safety Switch

1.Raise the seat panel and allow it to open till it rests on the steering wheel.

2.Loosen the two safety switch retaining screws.

3.Position the safety switch to give the safety switch button 10mm of protrusion above the cowl body panel.

4.Tighten the two safety switch retaining screws.
