2. Check that the deck mounts are installed on the
machine as follows.
• Washer (3:D). Only machines up to and in-
cluding 2006.
• Deck mount (3:C).
• Washer (3:B).
• Circlip (3:A).
3. Screw the arms into each other. See fig. 5.
4. Remove the belt cover (6:H) by loosening the
screws 6:I.
5. Loosen the belt guide screws (7, 8:K) a couple
of turns.
6. Set the maximum cutting height.
7. Work off the belt from the cutting deck pulley.
8. Fit the belt to the machine pulley and after that
to the cutting deck pulley.
9. Tighten the belt guide screws (7, 8:K).
10.Tension the belt as follows.
XK4-serie:
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.9.
XM:
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. 11.
11.Install the belt cover (6:H) with the screws (6:I).
12.Suspend the unit in the implement lifter. See
fig. 13.
13.Perform the cutting deck basic setting. See 3.5.
3.2 XK-serie with fixed deck con-
nections
Example of fixed deck connections, see 3:C and
4:G.
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.
• Deck mount (4:G).
• Washer (4:F).
• Lock pin (4:E).
3. Screw the arms into each other. See fig. 5.
4. 5.Set the maximum cutting height.
5. Locate the belt around the machine's belt pul-
ley.
6. Tension the belt as follows.
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. 10.
7. Suspend the unit in the implement lifter. See fig.
13.
8. Perform the cutting deck basic setting. See 3.5.

3.4 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.
Move the deck to the basic setting by lifting and
securing as follows.
Install the washers and the pins in the middle hole.
See fig. 15.

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 3.5.
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.
