Original Instructions
■ You may make adjustments and repairs described in this
manual. For other repairs, have the product serviced by
an authorised service centre only.
■ Contact an authorised service centre to replace
damaged or unreadable labels.
■ Check all nuts, bolts, and screws at frequent intervals
for proper tightness to ensure that the product is in safe
working condition.
■ The blade bolts must be tightened to the recommended
torque.
■ Check the brakes before each use and frequently during
use. Adjust and service the brakes as required.
■ Be careful during adjustment of the product to prevent
entrapment of the fingers between moving blades and
fixed parts of the product.
■ The cutting blades continue to rotate for a few seconds
after the motor is turned off. When servicing the blades,
be aware that even though the power source is turned
off, the blades can still be moved. Never place any part
of the body in the blade area until you are sure the
blades have stopped rotating.
■ The blade on the product is sharp. Use extreme caution
and wear heavy-duty gloves when fitting, replacing,
cleaning, or checking bolt security.
■ After each use, clean the plastic parts with a soft, dry
cloth. Any part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorised service centre.
■ Keep the product free of grass, leaves, or other debris
buildup.
■ Do not use water to clean the product. Use an air moving
device, such as a compressor or leaf blower to clean
the product.
TYRE MAINTENANCE
The product is equipped with tubeless tyres. When tyres are
worn, the traction of the mower decreases, which increases
the chance of having an accident. Replace the tyres when
the depth on the tread is 4 mm or less, or anytime there is
damage to the tyre. Always use original replacement tyres.
Using incorrect tyres on the product could cause loss of
control, which could cause serious personal injury.
Have the tyres replaced by an authorised service centre
only.
TYRE AIR PRESSURE
Check the air pressure in all four tyres before each use.
Improper air pressure affects handling, steering response,
traction, tyre life, level cutting, and operator comfort.
Make sure that tyres are inflated to the recommended air
pressure. Refer to the specifications table for tyre pressure
requirements.
The tyre air pressure should only be measured or adjusted
when tyres are cold.
TYRE REPAIR
If a leak or flat tyre occurs due to a puncture, the tyre may
be repaired using a plug-type patch. If the damage is from
a cut, or if the puncture cannot be repaired using a plug,
replace the tyre.
BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
See page 22.
If the mower travels further before stopping when stepping
on the brake pedal, the brakes need adjusting.
After final adjustment, test the brakes by driving the mower
at normal speed on flat ground to be sure that the mower
stops quickly when the brake pedal is stepped on.
CLEARING BLOCKAGES
■ Turn off the product, engage the parking brake,
and remove the start key. Set the cutting deck to the
maximum height. Make sure that all moving parts have
come to a complete stop.
■ Always wear heavy-duty gloves when checking or
clearing a blockage. The blades are sharp, and the
blockage itself could be a sharp object.
■ Check and carefully clear the side discharge chute for
blockages. Remember that the blade may move during
cleaning.
