– Do not kink nor squeeze the throttle cables in the process.
CAUTION
When folding the bar for transport and storage purposes, when loosening the wing nuts and snapping the locking
cams from the drilled holes in the housing, it is possible that unintentional upsetting of the bar may occur. In
addition, this may result in crushed areas between the top and bottom part of the bar as well as the housing. This
may result in a risk of injury!

Transporting and securing the equipment (Illustration N )

– If the equipment has to be carried, do not hold the ejection flap! Hold the front and rear part on the handle
(see illustration N ).
Pay attention to the weight of the equipment before you lift or carry the equipment (see Technical data). Lifting heavy
loads can cause health problems. We recommend that the equipment be always lifted or carried by at least two people.
– Transport the equipment in the upright posture.
– Park the means of transportation on level ground so that the equipment cannot roll away before it is secured
– Hang out the collection bag and secure it separately during transportation
– Secure the equipment with approved load-strapping means (e.g. tie-down straps with clamping elements) on or inside
the vehicle. Tie-down straps are belt bands made of synthetic fibres. Every tie-down strap is designated. The label
contains important details for application
– For loaded goods that can roll, it is recommended to use direct strapping with four belts. Secure the equipment on the
wheels so that it does not move during transportation.
ATTENTION
Do not tighten the belts too firmly. Fixing the equipment too firmly can cause damages.

Maintenance of the blade

A sharp blade guarantees optimum cutting performance. Before you start mowing, always check the condition and firm
attachment of the cutting blade. The blade attachment screw must always be tightened by an authorised workshop. If the
blade screw is too tight or too loose, the blade coupling and cutter bar can become damaged or loose which can lead to
serious injuries. A worn or damaged blade must always be replaced.

Sharpening and balancing the blade (Illustration Q )

WARNING
The sharpening and balancing of the blade should be carried out only by an authorized specialist workshop. An
improperly sharpened or unbalanced blade can cause severe vibrations, and damage the lawnmower.
The cutting edges of the blade must only be ground down to the mark (1) (see illustration Q ) on the blade (ring). Warning!
Keep to a grinding angle of 30°. Your professional workshop can check this value - (grinding limit) for you!
WARNING
A blade by which the wear limit (marking) has been exceeded can break off and spin away; this can cause severe injuries.

Replacing the blade

WARNING
The cutting blade bar must always be replaced by an authorised workshop. A wrongly assembled cutting blade
coupling or a blade screw that is tightened too tightly or too loosely can allow the cutting blade bar to become loose
and cause severe injuries.
– Only use original blades for replacement purposes.
– Blades must be indelibly marked with name and/or trademark of the manufacturer or supplier and with the parts number.

Servicing the front wheels

Oil the bearings of the wheels once a year or every 50 hours of operation.
– Remove the wheel cap cover on both sides.
– Use a socket wrench to loosen the hexagonal nut, remove the washer and take the wheels along with the wheel cap
and the disc from the wheel axle. Remove the wheel cap from the wheel.
– After greasing the bearing, slide the wheel into place. First insert the disc into the wheel, fit the wheel cap and then push
until you hear a click. Fit the washer, secure with the hexagonal nut and tighten so that the wheel is able to rotate freely
but has no play. Replace the wheel cap cover.

Servicing the rear wheel drive (Illustration R )

Oil the bearings of the wheels once a year or every 50 hours of operation.
– On both sides, remove the wheel cap cover and the washer and take the drive wheels along with the wheel cap and the
disc from the wheel axle.
