Adjustments & Maintenance
STOP - Remove the isolator key and the batteries before making any adjustments
and wear gloves if you are working near the blades.
Note: To ensure long and reliable service, carry out the following maintenance regularly.
Regularly check for obvious defects such as a loose, dislodged or damaged blade, loose
fixings, and worn or damaged components. Check that covers and guards are undamaged
and correctly fitted. Carry out necessary maintenance or repairs before using. Clean the
exterior of the machine thoroughly
using a soft brush and cloth. Do not use water, solvents or polishes. Remove all debris,
especially from around the motor . If the mower should happen to fail despite the care taken
in manufacture and testing, repair should be carried out by an Approved service agent.
Speed adjustment
Please refer to illustration (K).
Adjust the speed as required by moving the speed control knob (4) between 1 (min) and 6
(max.). The speed control knob adjusts both forward travel and cutting cylinder speed.
If the grass is moist and heavy or if you are scarifying, a high cylinder speed is
recommended to improve collection performance. Set the speed adjustment knob to position
5-6.
If the grass is dry and light, a lower cylinder speed is recommended to improve collection
performance. Set the speed adjustment knob to position 3-4.
