Brake Adjustment
For fine adjustment, loosen set screw on side of
brake lever knob. Adjust clockwise to tighten
brake; adjust counter clockwise to loosen brake.
(Wheel should lock completely, tighten set
screw). For coarse adjustment, turn adjusting
nuts on brake cable fitting at brake cable mount.
Two minute rule
The machine may be tipped backward or on its
side to facilitate access for cleaning or service,
but
no longer than 2 minutes.
If the machine is held in this position for too
long, the engine can be damaged by gasoline
draining into the crankcase. Should this happen,
perform an extra oil change on the engine over a
few revolutions with the starter handle before starting the engine again.
Cleaning and washing
Regular cleaning and washing will increase the machine’s life span. Make it a habit to clean the
machine directly after use, before the dirt sticks.
Check before reusing that the fuel tank lid is properly in place to avoid getting water in the tank.
Use caution when using high­pressure spray because warning decals, instruction signs and the
engine can be damaged.
Do not exceed 70 bar/1000 PSI water pressure when cleaning.
Lubricate the machine after cleaning. This is particularly important if the machine is to be stored.
Lubricating Bearings
Cutting blade bearings should be greased after
every 10 hours of operation.
Lubricate two fittings (one on each cutting
blade bearing).
NOTICE
Pump grease in slowly and carefully to
prevent damage to the bearing seals. Use
extreme caution when using a high pressure
or high volume grease gun.
