Preparing the equipment for use
5.5 Shield installation
Fig. 6
! Pull anti-vibration piece (32) with the bead
uppermost (towards the engine) over the shaft tube.
For this, the anti-vibration piece can be bent open at
the slot.
! Insert both square nuts (33) from the inside into the
contact shield.
! Secure shield (26) with both screws (34), both semi-
shells (35) and spacers (36) around the anti-
vibration piece on the shaft tube.
! Both factory-fitted gearbox screws (37) must grip
into the shield holes to safeguard its correct
position. This also prevents the shield from slipping.
! Tighten screws (34) alternately and evenly.
Please note: No other mounting position is acceptable
for the shield!

5.6 Cutter installation
Always switch off the engine, pull the spark plug cap
and wear protective gloves when fitting or replacing the
cutter!
A) Fitting the grass cutter blade
Fig. 7
! Position thrust piece (38) on gear shaft (39). Ensure
that the chamfered edge points towards the
gearbox.
! Position the grass cutter blade accurately on collar
washer (42) and push onto gear shaft (39).
! Position disc (43), fit spring washer (44) and lightly
secure locking nut (45). Please note: left-hand
thread! Fit the nut anti-clockwise.
! Lock the gear shaft; for this, insert assembly pin
(40) through the recess in winding protection (41).
! Slightly turn the gear shaft, until assembly pin (40)
catches in the recess of thrust piece (38).
! Tighten nut (45) (25 Nm). Please note: Left-hand
thread! Tighten the nut anti-clockwise.
Note: The thrust piece has been fitted incorrectly, if
the cutter can still be turned, even though the nut
has been tightened and the gear shaft has been
locked. In that case, repeat the assembly in the
correct manner.
! Remove assembly pin (40), and check the free
rotation of the grass cutter blade.
