• Run the machine at walking pace, in

strips that are a straight as possible.

For seamless mowing, the strips should

always overlap by a few centimetres.

• On slopes, always work across the

slope.

• For the first cut of the season, choose

a high the cut height and reduce the

height to around 20 mm for the subse-

quent cuts.

Cleaning and

Maintenance

Have work that is not de-

scribed in these instructions

carried out by one of our

authorised customer service

centres. Use only original

components. In this way you

avoid damage to the appli-

ance and possible injury to

people.

Wear gloves when dealing with the

blades. Risk of cuts.

• Check covers and safety devices for

damage and check that these are sitting

correctly. Replace if necessary.

Cleaning

Neither hose down nor use running

water to clean the mower.

• Always keep the machine clean. For

cleaning, use a brush or cloth, but no

cleaning agents or solvents.

• After mowing, remove any plant

remains stuck to the wheels and the

blade area.

• Rub the blades with an oil rag or spray

them with a metal maintenance spray.

• Due to the special cutting geometry,

the blade cylinder blades cannot be

re-sharpened. If necessary, the blade

cylinder and sub-blade must therefore

be replaced as a set. Have a specialist

workshop carry out the installation of

the blade cylinder.

Adjusting the Cutting

Clearance

The blade cylinder blades must be ad-

justed if the grass is no longer being cut

evenly and cleanly.

1. Remove the machine key (3) and

metal strips (feeler gauge) (4) from

the machine holder (cf. 5).

2. Push the metal strip (4) between a

blade cylinder (8) blade and the

sub-blade (11).

3. Turn the hex bolts (10) to the right

then to the left on the machine,

in small steps in the clockwise

direction until the metal strip sticks

slightly.

4. Check the setting by turning the

blade cylinder. None of the blade

cylinder blades should be in

contact and grinding on the sub-

blade.

5. Return the machine key (3) and

the metal strip (feeler gauge) (4) to

the tool holder (cf. 5).

If it is no longer possible to adjust

the cutting clearance, the blade

cylinder and sub-blade must be re-

placed as a set.
