6.3 Adjustments of deck
6.3.1 Cutting deck alignment
See Fig. 28
The cutting deck should be properly set to obtain a
good cutting result.
For achieving good results from cutting the front
part should always be 5-6 mm lower than the rear
part.
•
Place the machine on flat ground and
check the tire pressure
•
Put 26 mm blocks under the front
edge of the deck and 32 mm blocks
under the rear edge.
•
Adjust the nut 1 and nut 2 to keep the deck in touch
with the 26 mm blocks.
•
Adjust the nut 3 to keep the deck in touch with the
32 mm blocks.
6.4 Dismantling and replacement
6.4.1 Replacing wheels
See Fig. 29
Stop the machine on flat ground and put a block
under a load-bearing part of the frame on the side
that the wheel is to be changed.
The wheels are held by a snap ring which can be
eased off with a screwdriver.
If you have to replace one or both rear wheels,
make sure they have the same diameter, and check
that cutting deck is horizontal to prevent an uneven
cut.
Before remounting the wheel, apply grease to
the axle. Put the snap ring and supporting
washer back in place.
6.4.2 Replacing and repairing the tires
The tires are “tubeless” and so all punctures must be
repaired by a tire repairer following the procedures
required for this kind of tire.
6.4.3 Replacing the bulbs
The bulbs (12V/18W) have a bayonet fitting and are
installed in the bulb holder which can be taken out by
turning it anti-clockwise.
New light bulb has art. no. 439662
6.4.4 Replacing a fuse
See Fig. 30
The machine is fitted with 15A fuses.
When it blows, the machine stops, the dashboard
light switches off and the battery gradually runs
out. The machine will have problems starting.
Remove the fuse and replace with a same type fuse.
A blown fuse must always be replaced by one
of the same types and ampere rating, and never
with one of another rating.
6.4.5 Dismantling, replacing and remounting the
blades
See Fig. 31
Always wear work gloves when handling the
blades. Before you inspect or remove the blade,
stop the engine and disconnect the wire to the
spark plug.
Damaged or bent blades must always be
replaced, never try to repair them!
ALWAYS USE ORIGINAL BLADES!
Make sure the blades are correctly balanced.
Make sure you put them back in the right place
by referring to the code stamped on the outside
of each blade.
