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
