Adjusting the Bowden cable of the
wheel drive (15)
The Bowden cable of the wheel drive lengthens
over time. If the wheel drive can no longer be
switched on with the motor running, the Bowden
cable has become too long and must be tight-
ened.
CAUTION!
Risk of injury
Sharp-edged and moving appliance
parts (e.g. cutting blade) as well as a
suddenly starting lawnmower can lead to
injuries.
■
Only adjust the Bowden cable when
the motor is switched off and the
mower mechanism has come to a
standstill.
1. Switch off the appliance: Turn the safety key
to 0 and remove it.
2. Turn the adjusting part (15/1) on the Bowden
cable (15/2) in the direction of the arrow, i.e.
anticlockwise until the Bowden cable is taut
between the gear engagement bar (15/3) and
holding point (15/4).
3. To check the Bowden cable setting: Switch
on the appliance, start the motor and try to
switch on the wheel drive.
4. If the wheel drive does not switch on: Repeat
the previous steps.
If the adjustment of the Bowden cable is not suc-
cessful: Contact an AL-KO service centre.
