Maintenance

Checking the engine’s cooling air 
intake

Clean the air intake grille in the engine cover behind the 
driver’s seat.

Open the engine cover.

Check that the cooling intake is free from leaves, grass and 
dirt.

Check the air duct, located on the inside of the engine cover, 
ensure it is clean and does not rub against the cooling air 
intake.

A blocked cooling intake will interfere with the cooling of the 
engine, which can damage the engine.

Checking and adjustment of the 
cutting unit’s ground pressure

To achieve the best cutting results the cutting unit should 
follow the underlying surface without pressing too hard 
against it. Pressure is adjusted using a screw and spring on 
each side of the Rider.

1

Check the air pressure in the tyres 60 kPa / 0.6 bar / 9 PSI.

2

Place a set of bathroom scales under the cutting unit’s 
frame (front edge) so that it rests on the scales. If 
necessary a block can be placed between the frame and 
scales so that the support wheels do not bear any weight.

3

Adjust the cutting unit’s ground pressure by screwing the 
adjuster screws, which are located behind the front 
wheels on both sides, in or out. The ground pressure 
should be between 12 and 15 kg and the springs evenly 
tensioned.

Checking the cutting unit’s 
parallelism

Check the cutting unit’s parallelism as follows:

1

Check the air pressure in the tyres 60 kPa / 0.6 bar / 9 PSI.

2

Place the machine on a flat surface.

3

Measure the distance between the ground and cutting 
unit’s edge at the front of the cover.

The cutting unit should have a slight slant, with the rear 
edge 2-4 mm (1/8”) higher than the front edge.

!

WARNING! The cooling air intake rotates 
when the engine is running. Mind your 
fingers.
