USE

CUTTING HEIGHT

The cutting height can be varied between a number of fixed positions, from 30 to 85 mm.

Item no. 13-2934:

The cutting height is continuously variable from 30 to 85 mm.

Note: Stated cutting heights apply when the machine is on a firm surface.

CUTTING TIPS

For optimum ‘Multiclip effect’, follow these tips:

-cut frequently.

-run the motor at full revs.

-keep the underside of the cutting deck clean.

-use sharp blades.

-do not cut wet grass.

-cut twice (with different cutting heights) if the grass is long.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

PREPARATIONS

Unless otherwise stated, all service and maintenance must be carried out on a stationary machine when the motor is not running.

Prevent the machine from rolling by always applying the parking brake.

Prevent unintentional starting of the motor by always stopping the motor, disconnecting the spark plug cable from the spark plug and earthing it. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.

LUBRICATION

The deck arms are equipped with grease nipples (fig. 8).

Lubricate these after every 25 hours of operation (or at least once per season) with universal grease.

MAINTENANCE TIPS

To make cleaning and maintenance easier, the

cutting deck can be folded up:

1.Set the cutting height setting to the maximum cutting height.

2.Lift the rear edge of the deck with one hand (fig.

9).

3.Push up the catch and release the rear edge of the deck (fig. 9).

4.Repeat the procedure on the other side.

5.Secure the tensioning arm on the hook.

6.Force the belt off the machine’s pulley.

7.Fold up the deck to the vertical position (fig. 10).

When the deck is folded down to working position, ensure that the catch drops down into position when the rear edge of the deck is lifted up (fig. 4).

CLEANING

After each use, the underside of the cutting deck should be rinsed off.

If the grass has dried solid, scrape clean the underside.

If necessary, paint the underside to prevent corrosion.

BLADES

Use protective gloves when changing blades to avoid cutting yourself.

Ensure that the blades are always sharp. This produces the best cutting results.

Always check the blades after a collision. If the blade system has been damaged, defective parts should be replaced.

Always use original spare parts. Non- original spare parts can entail a risk of injury, even if they fit the machine.

Install the blades according to fig. 11 where the blade edge is marked. The folded-up edge of the blade should be positioned inwards towards the blade mount.

The cutting system comprises two blade bars with two replaceable blades Y (fig. 12). When replacing blades, both should be replaced to avoid imbalance.

Install the new blades. Tighten screws V and W properly. Tightening torque: V - 9.8 Nm, W - 24
