3.2 Belt

The cutting deck’s rear section should rest on the floor (it should not be lifted or secured).

Install the belt as follows:

1.Set the maximum cutting height.

2.Locate the belt around the machine’s belt pulley (8:B).

3.Tension the belt with the belt idler (8:A)B. The belt idler should be on the left side of the belt viewed from the driver’s position.

4.Lift up and secure the rear section of the cutting deck.

On machines with 17” wheels: Install the wash- ers and the pins in the top hole. See fig. 2.

On machines with 16” wheels: Install the wash- ers and the pins in the middle hole. See fig. 2.

3.3 Tyre pressure

Adjust the air pressure in the tyres as follows: Front: 0.6 bar (9 psi).

Rear: 0.4 bar (6 psi).

4.3 Mowing advice

In order to achieve optimum mowing results, fol- low the advice below:

Cut frequently.

Run the engine at full throttle.

The grass should be dry.

Use sharp blades.

Keep the underside of the cutting deck clean.

125 Combi Pro can cut the grass in the following two ways:

Mulching: composting and spreading.

Rear ejection: ejects the grass in a line behind the deck.

The deck is set for mulching on delivery. In order to eject the grass in a line behind the deck, the plug in fig. 6 must be removed.

Set the deck in service position (see 5.3) in order to remove/install the plug.

4 USING THE MACHINE

Check that the grass that is to be cut is completely free of foreign objects such as stones etc.

4.1 Cutting height

The best cutting results are achieved when the when the top third of the grass is cut off. I.e. 2/3 of the length of the grass remains. See fig. 9.

If the grass is long and has to be cut significantly, cut twice using different cutting heights.

Do not use the lowest cutting heights if the lawn surface is uneven. This would entail a risk of the blades being damaged against the surface and the lawn’s top layer of soil being removed.

4.2 Incline

The cutting deck’s rear section can be lifted so that the deck has a greater forward incline than that provided by the basic setting. This incline affects the cutting results as follows.

4.2.1 No incline

When the deck is in the basic setting, the best mulching effect and good dispersion of the cut grass are achieved. The basic setting is recom- mended for normal grass.

4.2.2 Incline

When the cutting deck is inclined forwards, the mulching effect is reduced while the cut grass is dispersed better.

Inclining forwards is recommended for thicker grass.

5MAINTENANCE

5.1Preparation

All service and all maintenance must be carried out on a stationary machine with the engine switched off.

Prevent the machine from rolling by al- ways applying the parking brake.

Stop the engine.

Prevent unintentional starting of the engine by disconnecting the spark plug cable from the spark plug and remov- ing the ignition key.

5.2 Washing position

1.Activate the parking brake.

2.Set the implement lifter in transport position.

3.Set the highest cutting height.

4.Remove pins and washers. See fig. 2.

5.Grip the front edge of the deck and lift up. Hook on the chain so that the deck is pointing diago- nally upwards. See fig. 10.

It is absolutely forbidden to start the engine when the deck is in the washing position.

Reset in accordance with 3.2, point 4.
