3.
Extrude the V-belt out of the axle dual pulley to the left into the groove in the frame next to the dual pulley.
4.
Extrude the V-belt out of the axle dual pulley to the left into the groove in the frame next to the dual pulley.
5.
Slide the V-belt forward for about 1.5 cm, and then move it to the wedge groove in the axle pulley per the selected gear.
Check visually and by touching whether the belt fits to the selected pulley groove.
6.
Install the V-belt into the groove in the gearbox pulley per the selected gear. Visually make sure that the belt is seated
straight in the correct pulleys per the selected gear (see
Fig. 12 and 13 ). The belt must not cross!
7.
Refit the two covers.
4.2.8 The Machine Working Area
It is always necessary to adjust the working width to the growth density!
We do not recommend utilizing the maximum working width (Table 4) allowed by the disc design. The operator cannot lead
the machine in the terrain sufficiently straight and accurately to cut the growth over the full width of the disc reach. We
recommend that the machine is guided during mowing partially (approximately 5-10 cm from the edge of the plastic front
cover) in already mowed area (shown from the operator's viewpoint on
Fig. 4 ).
4.2.9 Method of growth mowing
Before using the machine, the mowed growth must be free of solid bodies (stones, wires, loose
debris, etc.), which could be ejected or could damage the machine. If they cannot be removed, avoid such
spots.
When mowing in uneven terrain, care must be taken to ensure that the bottom disc continuously slides over the ground
and does not bounce. Disc bouncing results in a low-quality of growth mowing and uneven stubble.
Set the maximum engine speed, let the cutting disc spin at maximum speed, and then drive against the growth that you
want to mow. The mowed growth is ejected by the cutting disc to the right, on the side cover that defines rows.
When mowing, move through the growth so that the growth that is not mowed yet is always on the left side of the
machine (
Fig. 4 ).
When mowing on slopes, it is best to ride along the slope’s contour lines.
Observe safe slope access (Table 4)!
If the mowed growth is very dense, overgrown, rotten at the bottom, or flattened, it is necessary to reduce the machine
working width proportionally in such a way that there is no significant reduction in cutting speed and thus reduced mowing
quality.
4.2.9.1 Mowing problems
Pay special caution when lifting and reversing the machine!
When cleaning the space under the top cover, the engine must always be turned OFF!
Only tilt the machine back, on the handlebar. Take extra caution whenever you are underneath the
raised machine! Secure it against spontaneous movement!
Take extra care when cleaning the space underneath the top cover. Blade cutting edges are sharp.
When cleaning, protect your hands with work gloves or use a suitable item, such as a tree branch.
Always wait until the cutting disc stops before continuing any activity on or around the machine.
1.
The disc loses speed, the engine loses speed, but does not stop.
Immediately stop the machine travel and slightly back-up with the machine front gently lifted (pushing
the handlebar downwards). The space underneath the top cover partially cleans itself from the
excessive grass mass. Then move again against the growth.
2.
The drive stopped, the engine turned OFF.
Push the travel lever, lift the front of the machine by pushing on the handlebar, and move the machine
slightly backward. Clean the area under the top cover and spread the grass mass on the surface. Start
the engine and start moving against the growth.
3.
Mowed growth is trapped by the side cover (caused by too dense growth).
Stop the machine and turn OFF the engine. Remove the side cover and put it in a safe place outside of
the mowed area.
