CUTTING MEANS
A badly sharpened cutting means pulls at the
grass and causes the lawn to turn yellow.
Do not touch the cutting means until
the key has been removed and the cutting
means is completely stationary.
All work on the cutting means (disassembly,
sharpening, balancing, repairing, reassembly
and/or replacing) are demanding jobs that
require special skills as well as special
tools. For safety reasons, these jobs are
best carried out at a Specialised Centre.
Make sure damaged, mis-shapen or worn
cutting-means are replaced, together with its
own screws in place to preserve balance.
IMPORTANT Always use original cutting means
bearing the code indicated in the "Technical Data".
Given product evolution, the cutting means
listed in the "Technical Data" table may be
replaced in time with others having similar
interchangeable and operating safety features.

DRIVE ADJUSTMENTS (FOR
CR/CS SERIES ONLY)
The proper belt tension is obtained by adjusting the nut
