4.2 Mechanical disconnection.
Mechanical disconnection is the connection de-
scribed above in reverse.

5 USING THE MACHINE

Check that the grass that is to be cut is
completely free of foreign objects such
as stones etc.
5.1 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. 4.
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.
5.2 Incline
In order for the cutting deck to cut optimally, the
correct incline is required. The cutting deck's rear
section can be adjusted so that the deck has a great-
er forward incline than that provided by the basic
setting. This incline affects the cutting results as
follows.
5.2.1 Basic setting
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.
The deck is default set upon delivery.
When the deck is in the basic setting, the best
"Multiclip" effect and good dispersion of the cut
grass are achieved. The basic setting is recom-
mended for normal grass.
5.2.2 Greater inclination
When the cutting deck is inclined forwards, the
"Multiclip" effect is reduced while the cut grass is
dispersed better and the capacity is increased.
Inclining forwards is recommended for thicker
grass.
The incline of the deck can be adjusted as follows:
• By varying the number of washers under the
locking pins (5:A).
NOTE! There must be an equal number of
washers on each side.
• By adjusting the links (5:B) between the raising
levers.

5.3 Composting/rear ejection
The deck can cut grass in the two following ways
by setting the decks' hatches according to the table
below:
Cutting method
Composts the
grass into the lawn
Ejects the grass
behind the deck
5.4 Mowing advice
In order to achieve optimum mowing results, fol-
low the advice below:
• Cut frequently.
• Run the engine at full throttle.
• The grass should be dry.
• Use sharp blades.
• Keep the underside of the cutting deck clean.

6 MAINTENANCE

6.1 Preparation
All service and all maintenance must be carried out
on a stationary machine with the engine switched
off.
Prevent the machine from rolling by al-
ways applying the parking brake.
Stop the engine.
Prevent unintentional starting of the
engine by removing the ignition key.
6.2 Washing position
It is absolutely forbidden to start the
engine when the deck is in the cleaning
position.
6.2.1 Hydraulically operated deck
1. Activate the parking brake.
2. Set the deck in the transport position.
3. Set the minimum cutting height. Otherwise the
hydraul hoses might be damaged.
4. Stop the engine
5. Disconnect both thick hydraulic hoses at the
socket (2:PTO) on the machine. See fig. 6.
6. Remove both pins (5:A) and remove any wash-
ers.
7. Set the catch (7:C) to the rear position so that it
can lock.
