Storing
Mower should be stored in paved, dry places, protected against precipitation. In order to
minimize the space necessary for storage the mower may be stored in a vertical position (Fig. 28)
but always on paved surface. Storing the mower on an unpaved surface may cause the mower to
lose stability and turnover.
NOTICE:
When stored for long time (e.g. in winter season), the machine should be in
an upright position on paved surface (Fig. 28) (with closed cylinders).
Storing the mower in a horizontal position may cause faster wearing (rusting)
of the cylinder from the inside (through vent valve) by being penetrated by
moisture from the air.

MOUNTING AND ADJUSTMENTS
6.1.
Mounting and timing of the knives
The knives should be mounted as shown in Fig. 29. The knives recommended by
the manufacturer have dimensions of 105x49x4 and comply with the norm PN-EN 795:2002.
Mount the knives so that cutting edges are directed towards the ground, so that a knife lifts the grass
after cutting.

damaged knives should be replaced immediately.
