3 ASSEMBLY
3.1 Assembly
1. Place the deck in position in front of the ma-
chine.
2. Check that the deck mounts are installed on the
machine as follows.
Park 4WD, Villa and Ready:
• Washer (3:D). Only machines up to and in-
cluding 2006.
• Deck mount (3:C).
• Washer (3:B).
• Circlip (3:A).
Park 2WD:
• Deck mount (4:G).
• Washer (4:F).
• Lock pin (4:E).
3. Screw the arms into each other. See fig. 5.
4. Remove the belt cover (6:H) by loosening the
screws 6:I.
5. Set the maximum cutting height.
6. Locate the belt around the machine's belt pulley
and cutting deck's pulley.
7. Tension the belt as follows.
Park 4WD:
Grip the belt tensioner's lever with your left
hand. Pull the lever and apply the tensioner to
the outside of the belt with your right hand. See
fig.7.
Park 2WD:
Tension the belt with the belt idler. The belt
idler should be on the left side of the belt
viewed from the driver's position. See fig. 8.
Villa, Ready:
Tension the belt with the belt idler. The belt
idler should be on the inside of the belt and pull
out to the left (viewed from the driver's posi-
tion). See fig. 9.
8. Install the belt cover (6:H) with the screws (6:I).
9. Suspend the unit in the implement lifter. See fig.
10.
10.Move the deck to the basic setting by lifting and
securing as follows.
On machines with 17" wheels: Install the wash-
ers and the pins in the top hole. See fig. 11.
On machines with 16" wheels: Install the wash-
ers and the pins in the middle hole. See fig. 12.
See also "3.3".
11.If the deck has electrical cutting height adjust-
ment, connect the cable to the machine's front
right socket. See fig. 13.

3.3 Basic setting
In order for the cutting deck to cut optimally, the
correct basic setting is required. The deck is in the
basic setting when its rear edge is 5 mm above its
front edge. This means that the deck is inclined
forwards.

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. 14.
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 Basic setting
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. See 3.1.10.
4.2.2 Greater inclination
When the cutting deck is inclined forwards, the
"Multiclip" effect is reduced while the cut grass is
dispersed better.
Inclining forwards is recommended for thicker
grass.
