TO REMOVE MOWING ATTACHMENT –
Stop engine, ensure mowing attachment blades
have stopped rotating, and spark plug lead is
disconnected & grounded, disconnect battery
negative terminal to prevent accidental starting,
disconnect the belt tensioning spring (front left
hand side of mowing attachment). Lower
mowing attachment onto 20mm block front and
rear. Remove cutter belt from engine pulley.
Remove two M10 x 50mm bolts, nuts &
washers from mower suspension link at rear of
the mowing attachment. Remove mowing
attachment pivot pin lock screw and nut (6mm)
and remove mowing attachment pivot pin.
Remove the M8x35mm bolt from the cradle
frame attachment bracket. Turn the front
wheels a little to the left and twist the mowing
attachment to the right and slide the deck from
under the mower ro the right side.
Re-assemble in reverse order. To assist in
refitting mowing attachment pivot pin, raise the
mowing attachment slightly. Refit mower
suspension link & lifting links and M10x50mm
bolts, nuts and washers. Refit cutter belt,
connect belt tensioning spring and refit spark
plug lead and battery terminal.
CLUTCH PLATE ADJUSTMENT- Periodically
adjust the clutch plates as the cone drive
wears. Stop engine, ensure mowing
attachment blades have stopped rotating,
disconnect spark plug lead from spark plug
and ground it, disconnect battery at
negative terminal, to prevent accidental
starting. Carry out this operation, with
engine off. Centre the clutch arm assembly to
the neutral position. Loosen the four square
head set screws on the clutch plates using
tube spanner (AM006C1) and tommy bar
(AM007). Insert the clearance gauges
supplied, one between the forward clutch plate
and cone and the other between the reverse
clutch plate and cone and hook them onto the
intershaft. Slide both clutch plates against the
clearance gauges and cone, tighten the set
screws firmly onto the flat on the intershaft.
Remove gauges.
CHECK TYRE PRESSURES - Uneven
pressure can give an uneven finish when
mowing and overly low or high pressures
may cause damage to tyres and/or tubes.
The recommended pressure is: 170kPa (24
P.S.I.)Front. 140kPa (20 P.S.I.) Rear.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE- Batteries can be
dangerous as they contain acids (corrosive
chemicals), flammable vapours, large amounts
of stored electrical energy, which may cause
chemical burns, explosions or fires. Where
goggles and a protective face guard. Remove
jewellery/watches before handling the battery.
Do not perform any battery maintenance
where there are open flames or the possibility
of sparks. Always work in a well ventilated
area. Ensure the top of the battery is clean
and dry (free of dirt and grime) as a dirty
battery can discharge across the top of the
battery casing. Inspect the terminals, screws
and cables for breakage, damage or loose
connections and they are clean, tight and free
of corrosion. When not in use, a battery
discharges by as much as 1% a day, more
when the climate is warm. To make up for
this loss, a boosting charge should be given
once a month. Disconnect battery terminals
(negative terminal first) to charge, then
allow to stand minimum 1/2hr before re-
connecting (negative terminal first). If a
battery is not used for a period of more
than three (3) months, the terminals should
be disconnected and trickle charged at two
(2) amps for two (2) hours once every three
(3) months or before use. At the end of any
maintenance ensure the battery is securely
fastened in place, especially if it has been
removed.
BRAKE ADJUSTMENT- Remove the ‘R’ pin
securing the adjustable link rod to the brake
lever & turn adjustable link rod clockwise push
adjustable link rod into machine & refit link rod
to pedal & refit ‘R’ Pin.
CLEANING MACHINE WITH WATER
PRESSURE – Allow machine to cool down (min
2 hrs) before hosing down. Start engine and
engage drive and cutting systems to clear water
from pulleys and belts. Stop engine and allow
machine to dry. Lubricate as required. Do not
cover machine with plastic or vinyl type
material.
