USE
MOWING HEIGHT
The mower deck has 17 fixed mowing heights,
from 30 mm to 80 mm.
N.B. The stated mowing heights apply when the
machine is standing on firm ground.
Before driving up onto a ramp, trailer
or the like, first adjust the mowing
height to the lowest position.
Otherwise there is a risk that the mower deck will
be damaged when the mower deck stops strikes the
underside of the base machine.
MOWING HINTS
For the best "Multiclip" effect follow this advice:
- mow regularly.
- use full throttle on the engine.
- keep the underside of the mower deck clean.
- use sharp blades.
- do not mow wet grass.
- mow twice (using different mowing heights)
if the grass is long.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

PREPARATIONS
Unless otherwise stated, all service and mainte-
nance must be performed on a machine that is
standing still where the engine has been switched
off.
Prevent the machine from rolling, by
always applying the parking brake.
Prevent involuntary engine start by al-
ways stopping the engine, loosening the
spark plug cable from the sparking
plug and earthing it. Remove the minus
(-) cable from the battery.
MAINTENANCE TIPS
The mower deck can easily be raised to facilitate
cleaning and maintenance:
1. Set the height adjusting lever to position "5".
2. Unhook the mower deck lifting spring E from
ENGLISH
the attachment lift.
3. Remove the transmission cover.
4. Prise off the v-belt from the mower deck pulley.
5. Remove the two pins J (fig 11).
6. Grasp hold of the mower deck frame (fig 12).
7. Fold up the mower deck until it is standing up-
right on the two rear support brackets (fig 13).
When refitting for use: Make sure the tension roll-
er F rests on the outside of the v-belt (fig 9).
CLEANING
After use the underside of the mower deck should
be hosed down.
If grass cuttings have dried on to the mower deck,
scrape the underside clean.
If necessary touch-up the underside using a suita-
ble paint to prevent corrosion.
Do not spray with high pressure water
against the bearing housings on top of
the mower deck when the transmission
cover is removed (fig 14). Otherwise
water may penetrate the bearings.
DRIVE BELTS
If any of the blades have hit a solid object (e.g. a
stone) the belt tension can change. This means that
the drive belt can, "miss-mesh" which in the long
term can damage the blades.
If necessary adjust the drive belt:
1. Dismantle the transmission casing.
2. Loosen the tension arm K (fig 15).
3. Loosen the bearing box's fixing bolts L (fig 16).
4. Tension the drive belt by pressing the tension
arm backwards.
5. Tighten the tension arm's fixing bolts.
6. Tighten the bearing box's fixing bolts.
7. Carry out the same procedure for the other drive
belt.
When changing the drive belts, make
sure that the outer blades are always at
90° to the centre blade (see fig 17).
If you fit the drive belts incorrectly the blades will
collide as they overlap each other.
