Blade
Inspection of the blade
1. Tilt the rider with the back upwards.
2. Inspect blade for damage, cracks or excessive rust
or corrosion.
3. Check that the blade bolt is tightened.
Note:
A dull blade can be sharpened! But a blade that
is worn, bent, cracked or otherwise damaged must be
replaced.
Removing the blade:
If you remove the blade to sharpen or replace it, you
must use a torque wrench and some heavy gloves to
protect your hands.
1. Loosen the blade bolt. Use a piece of wood to
prevent the blade from turning around.
2. Remove the bolt, washer, blade and blade holder
in that order
3. Sharpen or replace the blade.
4. Insert the blade holder, blade, washer and bolt in
that order.
5. Tighten the blade bolt. Use a piece of wood to
prevent the blade from turning around.
Warning : A blade must be sharpened so it is in
100 % balance, otherwise it may cause vibrations that
could damage the engine. Damage to engine due to
faulty sharpening is not covered by warranty. We
therefore recommend letting a service center sharpen
the blade.
Water nozzle
The left side of the rider deck is fitted with a water
nozzle for washing the deck. ill.4
1. When using the water nozzle, the machine must be
in the lowest height position and placed on the
lawn. This ensures that the water remains under
the deck during cleaning.
2. Attach a hose to the nozzle.
3. Turn on the water and start the engine.
4. The rotations of the blade will ensure that the water
will clean the underside of the deck.
If above instruction is not followed, water may
splash back on the gearbox and clutch cable,
which increases the risk of corrosion and damage
to both parts. This will not be covered by the
warranty!
Note:
For best result clean the deck with the water
nozzle function right after each mowing. If the grass
dries out, this function will not work optimally.
