ADJUSTMENTS
Speed adjustment
The speed of the self-propel drive can be adjusted to suit your walking pace by turning the RotoShift grip forwards
(see Fig. G). The Self-propel speed is independent of the cutter speed.
For cultivation operations it is recommended to use a relatively slow forward speed to maximise the effectiveness.
Handle height adjustment
WARNING: Do not attempt to start the mower until the handle has been locked at one of the lower 3 pre-set
operating positions K1, K2, K3 in Fig K. The upper most position K4 is a storage/maintenance position. The mower
will not operate when the handle is in the storage/maintenance position K4.
To adjust the foldable handle, proceed as follows:
1. Press and hold the quick adjust lever (8) to release the handle lock.
2. Pivot the handle gently into the required position then release the lever.
3. Make sure the lock pin is engaged in one of the different holes K1, K2, K3, K4 as shown in Fig K.
Handle telescopic adjustment (See Fig. J & L)
To extend the handlebars pull both locking clamps out, raise or lower the handlebar section to one of the 3 available
positions. To secure the adjustment press both locking clamps in, making sure the holes line up for the clamping
pins.
Height of cut adjustment (See Fig. M)
Your mower has an infinitely adjustable height of cut between 10 - 50 mm for mowing grass, for sports surfaces a
lower height of cut is achievable with the 10-blade cartridge and sports blade option. Your mower can use cultivation
cartridges (purchased separately) to a maximum depth of 15mm below the surface.
The height of cut is adjusted by turning the knob (7) at the right-hand side of the machine. The comb will also
require adjustment, see “Comb Adjustment”. The numbered scale on the side of the mower can be used as a guide
for either cut height shown in mm on the Left or cultivation depth shown in mm on the right.
It is advised to start high and work down to your required cut height. Never take more than 1/3 of the plant height
off in one go.
Comb adjustment (See Fig. N)
Your mower is fitted with an adjustable comb (22) which can be used on the lower heights of cut. It is set by
loosening the screws (21) and rotating the comb until the tines are 6-
12mm (¼” – ½”) above the ground. You may
need to re-adjust after changing the height of cut. Take care not to set the comb too deep, as this could cause
damage to either your mower or lawn.
Cutting long grass
– side wheel kit (See Fig. N)
Your mower is fitted with a full width front roller which is suitable for normal smooth lawns. For cutting longer
(>50mm, >2”), coarse grass a side wheel kit can be fitted. To fit this kit, proceed as follows:
1. Tilt the mower back and wedge securely.
2. Remove the front roller/comb assembly by removing screw (20) and removing screw (21) on both sides.
3. Fit the side wheel (18) on to the side wheel spindle (19).
4. Fit each side wheel assembly on both sides of the roller brackets as shown and fix with screw (20) from
above. To refit the full width roller following steps 1-4 in reverse.
