LUBRICATION POINTS WITH GREASE
Lubricate the following elements with grease every 50 hours the front wheel pin (fig. 5, ref. A) and all the
handlebar's joints and the cables.
CHECKING THE BLADES AND CUTTING DECK
A blunt blade rips the grass, leaving it unattractive. Therefore both blade cutting edges must be always
well-sharpened. Sharpen both cutting edges using a medium-grain grinding wheel. If the grass-cutter
vibrates abnormally check that the blade is balanced by placing it on a round bar inserted in the central
hole. To remove a blade, hold of it firmly, always wearing work gloves, and unscrew the central screw.
Caution: it is the screw on the right (fig. 13).
CAUTION!
Tighten the fixing screw firmly (fig. 13). ALWAYS USE ORIGINAL BLADES!
BLADE – ENGINE BELT
To adjust the belt tension operate on the register (fig. 6, ref. D) that is placed near the pulley on the blade
axle. During work, the spring should stretch up to 2 mm. If the belt becomes twisted or comes off, check
pulley alignment. Take care when positioning the belt guides: move them towards the belt. Guides must
never touch belt.
HYDROSTATIC AXLE – ENGINE BELTS
Check the spring tension. To replace the belts, release the tension spring (fig. 7. ref. A).
BLADE ROTATION
To engage and disengage the blade, use the lever (fig. 2, ref. B). When engaging the blade, the engine
must already be running at medium rpm and the grass-cutter must not be in the grass for cutting.
Disengage the blade by releasing the lever (fig. 2, ref. D). The blade must stop within 5 seconds; if this is
not the case, adjust the brake using the load spring (fig. 6, ref. A) and replace the brake unit if necessary
(fig. 6, ref. B). N.B. This operation must be carried out by an authorized Service Centre.
CHANGING THE BELTS
The movement is transmitted from the engine to the hydraulic transmission and to the blades by means
of two V-belts. Replace the belts if they show any sign of wear! Their replacement and subsequent
adjustment are fairly complex procedures and must be carried out by an authorized Service Centre. To
replace the belt going from the engine to the cutting deck, remove the belt guide on the engine pulley.
ALWAYS USE GENUINE BLADES!
TRACTION RELEASE LEVER
The traction release device is located at the side of the grass-cutter under the rear frame (fig. 12, ref. A).
If the grass-cutter breaks down, to allow it to be towed or moved by hand, move the lever to idle position.
In the internal position the grass-cutter is ready to work.
