Care And Maintenance; Electrical Unit - AL-KO SOLO Series Betriebsanleitung

Switching the mowing appliance off
• Put the mowing appliance switch onto position "0".
• The mowing appliance can be switched off both at a standstill and
also during movement.
Attention!
A rotating / slowing blade can cut hands and feet.
Therefore, keep your hands and feet away from the blades.
Setting the cutting height
11
The blades are raised and lowered with the position lever to
the right of the driver's seat.
Six height settings with a cutting height between 30 and 90
mm are possible.
Allow the position lever to engage at the height adjustment
position required.
Adjustment of the cutting height can be done both at a
standstill and also during movement.
Attention:
Set the highest cutting height:
- before switching the cutting appliance on
- when driving without mowing
Driving without traction (pushing)
Attention!
Only with the engine switched off and the blades stationary!
12 For a hydrostat drive:
1. Push the lever for bypass
lower side .
2. Release the brake.
The lawn tractor can now be pushed without any difficulty.
Driving and mowing
In order to achieve a tidy mowing result, the traction speed must
be adapted to the state of the lawn.
Select at most two thirds of the possible driving speed at the pedal
when mowing. The maximum speed of the tractor is exclusively inten-
ded for driving without the mower mechanism switched on.
In a normal case, the cutting height is about 4-5 cm. This corresponds
to the 2nd/3rd position of the height adjustment. Cut moist or wet grass
with a higher cutting height.
The best thing to do with very long grass is to cut it twice. For the first
cut, set the machine to max. cutting height and set it to the required
height for the second cut.

Driving on slopes
Special care is needed when driving on slopes.
Please observe the following information:
- Do not drive on slopes with an inclination of more than 10° (18%).
- Do not jolt when starting.
- Keep the speed low.
- Do not stop or accelerate strongly.
- Do not declutch when going down the slope.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the lawn tractor
In order to work properly, the lawn tractor must be cleaned regularly.
After each use, clean adhering residue from the lawn tractor.
Housing / engine / transmission
The engine and all the bearings (wheels, transmission, blade bearings
etc.) must not be cleaned with water, in particular not with a high-pres-
sure cleaner.
Any water penetrating into the ignition unit, into the carburettor and the
air filter can cause damage. Water in the bearings can lead to a loss of
lubrication and thus to the destruction of the bearings.
To remove dirt and residue of grass, use a cloth, a hand-held swee-
per, a long-handled brush etc.

Electrical unit

Do not clean the electrical unit with water. Penetration
of water into the electrical unit (switch, display, cable,
operating elements etc.) can lead to damage.
Replacing and resharpening the mowing
blade
At the end of the mowing season always resharpen the mowing blade
or, if required, replace the mowing blade with a new one.
Always have the mowing blade resharpened or replaced by a customer
service centre (measurement of imbalance).
Unbalanced blades will cause the lawn mower to vibrate violently –
risk of accident!
