The cutting-means assembly must ne-
ver be lifted with the quick-release sup-
ports open. Failure to observe this re-
commendation constitutes a crushing
hazard.
11. Take hold of the front cutting-means as-
sembly edge and lift. Continue lifting until
the cutting-means assembly is completely
vertical and rest the back end on the ground.
See fig. 25.
12. Restore the cutting-means assembly to its
original position as specified in heading 5.2.3
from point 9 onwards.

CLEANING
Always clean the bottom part of the
cutting-means assembly after use.
Take care over the sharp blades. Wear
protective gloves.
Set the cutting-means assembly to the washing
position.
Clean the bottom of the cutting-means assembly
with great care using only water and a brush.
If during use any of the paintwork has got
scratched or come off, touch up when the surfa-
ces are completely clean and dry.
Use non-perishable yellow paint for outdoor appli-
cations which is suitable for metal.

CUTTING MEANS (21:A)
8.5.1 Introduction
The cutting-means assembly is fitted with a
number of safety devices which reduce the risk
of damaging the cutting-means assembly and
the drive system should the same hit an obstacle
while in motion.
These devices are:
• Shear bolts (14:C) which secure the cutting
means (14:A) to the cutting means holder bar
(14:B),
• Torque limiter for cutting-means assembly drive
shaft transmission.
• possibility for positive drive belt slipping over the
plastic gearwheels.
8.5.2 Cutting means replacement
Wear protective gloves.

ENGLISH
(Translation of the Original Instructions)
Check that the cutting-means assembly is always
perfectly sharpened.
This is essential for obtaining optimum results.
Replace the cutting means once per
year
Always check the cutting means after
an impact, replace them if damaged.
To sharpen cutting-means assembly
contact an authorized technical assi-
stance service.
Damaged
must always be replaced.
When replacing cutting means, always
replace both cutting means on the
same holder bar to avoid loss of correct
balance.
Use genuine spare parts only.
Non-genuine spare parts, even those
which can be installed on the machine,
may cause injury or damage the machi-
ne.
Re-assemble the cutting means as follows:
• Install the cutting means (14:A) on the cutting
means holder bar (14:B) using the relative
screws (14: C and D).
• Install the cutting means hold bar on its support
(14:E).
• The cutting-means assembly can be turned
1/3 of a turn on their supports. Synchronize the
cutting-means assembly so that they are at a
90° angle to one another. See heading 7.5.3
Cutting means fixing screws tightening torque:
• Screw (14:F): 45 Nm
• Screws (14:D): 45 Nm
• Shear bolts (14:C) 9.8 Nm
In the event of collision, the shear bolts (14:C) may
snap.
If this occurs, install new, genuine shear bolts and
tighten to the torque indicated.
8.5.3 Cutting means synchronization
The cutting-means assembly are correctly syn-
chronized when their axes are set at a 90° angle to
one another. See Fig. 21
Synchronization may be lost if the cutting means
hit an obstacle with the resulting risk of interferen-
ce.
