Remove grass that has accumulated on the underside of the mowing deck.
Make sure that the blades are sharp, are not deformed or damaged.
Check that the blades are properly fastened.
Check the blade shafts and the seating of the bearings. Replace them if they are
damaged or overly worn.
Check the bearing housings for damage. Based on your findings either repair or
replace them. When mowing thick grass or grass that is too wet, an unmowed strip
may remain. The travel speed should be adjusted to respect the mowing conditions
by shifting into a suitable gear. The engine should not run with the throttle valve fully
open.
Check that the blades are sharp and undamaged. Replace the blades if necessary.
Check the tension and condition of the V-belt of the mowing drive
The mowing deck drive belt may be damaged, when it jumps out of the pulley while
the machine is running. If it jumps out even after rechecking according to the following
steps, it is necessary to replace the belt.
Check the tension of the belt (
Check the belt guide pulleys.
Check the set mowing height, adjust if necessary.
Check whether the movement of the belt is not prevented by a foreign object. If yes,
remove the foreign object.
Recheck all the belts. Buckled or cracked pulleys may cause problems. Replace if
necessary.
Check the inside surface of the pulley on the engine. If it is coarse or has cracks, it is
necessary to replace the pulley.
Check the parts of the tensioning mechanism for wear, replace the worn out parts if
necessary.
Change the travelling speed (e.g. slow down)
Lift the mowing deck to a higher position
If the grass is too tall or wet, the mowing deck drive belt may slip through. Check that
the belt is not worn out. If it is, replace it.
Reduce the speed of the machine.
Increase the mowing height.
Check belt tension. If necessary adjust the tension.
Check the tensioning mechanism (spring, pulley). Replace the spring if it is
overstretched or damaged.
Check the belt guide pulley.
Check whether the movement of the belt is not prevented by a foreign object. If yes,
