Drum Mower
5
3.2 Description of the machine and its parts
The drum mower (
Fig. 2 ) is built on its steel frame, to which all the critical components of the machine are attached. The
drive unit is attached to the mower flange. On the left hand side of the handlebar, there is the
2
travel pulley
lever, which
controls the machine's forward travel. The
1
disc drive pulley
lever that turns ON and OFF the cutting disc drive is located in
the slot on the left side of the cover. The travel is ensured by a worm gearbox with a belt clutch, which secures the smooth
transmission of the force (the machine does not roll through) to
the wheels
11
. The clutch gearbox is covered with the
plastic
gearbox cover
12
. At the front, there is the
cutting disc
5
with its four
steel blades
6
. The operator is protected
against mowed flying growth by the
plastic cover
8
and
7
. The mowed growth trimming is secured through the removable
side cover
4
, which is attached by its
screw connection

.
4 Operating Instructions
4.1 Machine Assembly
Request the machine unpacking and training from your seller as a part of his pre-sale service!
Gripping points when unpacking (from the box) (per
Fig. 1 ): in the front, the cutting disc
4
, in the rear, behind the drive
unit connection component
1
.
It is forbidden to lift an assembled machine by its front plastic cover. The cover is not
dimensioned for the machine weight.
4.1.1 Machine Assembly Procedure
Assemble the machine per the following procedure:
(We recommend completing the assembly by two persons)
1)
Following
Fig.1 - remove the disc cover
3
from the box, bag
6
, and side cover
2
. Grasp your machine
at its gripping points at the front
4
and in the rear
1
, and remove it from the box.
2)
Remove the M5 self-locking factory-installed self-locking nuts (2 pieces) with their washers, and attach the
disc cover to the machine so that the holes in the cover match the frame screws and the tapered section of
the cover is inserted under the engine plate. Return the M5 nuts and washers to the screws and tighten the
nuts.
3)
Following
Fig. 1 - attach the rear (shorter) side cover
6
to the shorter cover holder arm
2
, and attach the
side (longer) cover
6
to the longer cover holder arm
2
. Draw the tightening strips (2 pieces) through the
holes in the cover holder and secure both covers against sliding by tightening the strips.
4)
Following
Fig. 2 - unscrew fastening screw
3
, making sure side cover
4
may easily slide into the slot in
the frame. Tighten the mounting screw by hand and check that the side cover does not fall spontaneously.
4.1.2 Attaching and removing the drive unit
The process of attaching a drive unit is described in the operating instructions for the drive units. The attachment,
clamping, and removal process, as well as safety instructions, do not differ from other adapters and, therefore, this information
is not provided in this manual.
Before installing the drive unit, make sure the inner face of the clutch disc in the drive flange is
not dirty or greasy. Dirt or grease could make the centrifugal clutch slip, and that could lead to reduced
mowing performance and increased risk of wear and failure of the centrifugal clutch.
4.1.3 Control lever mounting
After installing and securing the drive unit in the drive flange, install the travel pulley lever (see
Fig. 2). The travel pulley
control lever is mounted on the left handle through the holder and M6 wing nuts. Install the lever so that it is possible to
operate the ignition safety lock latch. Move the lever slightly to the left/right (approx. 5° from the vertical plane) during the
assembly to make sure it is within your fingers’ reach.
Lead the bowden cable over the top of the handlebars. Its route should be smooth and radius bends as large as possible.
Attach the bowden cable to the handle bar in the area between the upper joint sides together with the gas bowden cable with
the supplied 7.6x200 (14) release strap (see
Fig. 2).
4.2 Machine Operation
4.2.1 Engine Starting
The drive unit motor is started as described in the drive unit operating instructions.
When starting the engine, both control levers (
1
and
2
in
Fig. 2) must be in the "OFF" position (see
Fig. 3 )!
Do not leave the machine after starting the engine!
4.2.2 Starting the cutting disc
Make sure that all persons (children!) are at a safe distance from the machine! Otherwise, do not
continue with this process!
