FREE WHEEL BLOCKING
•
The wheels are blocked through two rings at both ends of the transmission shaft. One of these rings is
provided with a pivot and can be fixed in two different positions:
•
Pivot position towards the outside (picture D)
: in this position the wheel is free to turn, this produces a
differential effect and helps the machine while moving forward in a curve.
•
Pivot position towards the inside (picture A)
: in this position the wheel is blocked to the shaft so that the
differential effect is lost. In this way, however, if the machine moves on a downhill ground it follows the throttle
control without getting an exaggerate speed.
•
To change the position of the ring it is necessary to unscrew the bolt and then screw it tight again till it is
completely blocked (pictures B+C).
ADJUSTMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION BELT.
1. After unscrewing the 4 screws, remove the front guard ( Pos. B in Pict.6).
2. Loosen the nut Pos .C in Pict. 7, using a spanner size 17, and let the screw supporting the belt-tightener ( pos. B
in Pict.7), until the belt is properly tight.
3. Block again the Nut ( Pos. C in Pict 7) in the correct position
The adjustment of the belt-tightener should be regularly done, and the transmission belt should be always perfectly
aligned, and tight.
•
For the adjustment of the driving levers on the handlebar, and the relative cables, please check the second
Chapter “ PACKING AND ASSEMBLING”.
•
For mowing very high and strong grass, you can remove the side conveyor (Pos.A in Pict.8), and also the front
guard (Pos. B in Pict.8), after unscrewing the fixing screws. Before doing this job, please make sure that the engine
is off, and the spark plug disconnected.
•
IMPORTANT ! The operator must be aware that the machine at work could throw out stones and other
dangerous things. He should always make sure that the working area is free, for a minimum radius of 50
metres in any direction .It is recommended to delimit the working area with safety stripes,and signals of
danger.
