/ CUTTING MEANS
9.2.1 Aligning the cutting-means assembly
The cutting-means assembly should be properly
adjusted to obtain an evenly mown lawn (fig. 18).
If mowing is uneven, check the
tyre pressure (par. 7.1.3).
If this is not sufficient to achieve an even
cut, please contact your Dealer to adjust the
alignment of the cutting-means assembly.
9.2.2 Cutting means
A badly sharpened cutting means pulls at the
grass and causes the lawn to turn yellow.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Always have damaged, bent or worn
cutting means, along with their own screws,
replaced in pairs to maintain balance.
CAUTION
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 an Authorised Dealer.
