Assembly
•
Place the cutter with the friction washer against the
cutter bracket. Make sure the cutter centres correctly
on the shaft. To avoid vibrations, place the mower
cutter so that the cutter bracket marking can be seen
on the sides of the cutter.
Fit the washer and tighten the bolt correctly. The bolt
should be tightened with a torque of 45-60 Nm.
•
Pull the blade around by hand and make sure it
rotates freely. Test run the machine.

MAINTENANCE
Air filter
•
Remove the air filter cover and take out the filter.
•
Champion, Excellent, Excellent H, Pro 17 H, Pro 19
H Clean the filter by knocking the filter against a flat
surface. Never use solvent with petroleum, for
example, kerosene, or compressed air to clean the
filter.
•
Triumph Remove the foam plastic filter. Wash the
filter well in tepid soapy water. After cleaning, rinse the
filter well in clean water. Squeeze out and allow the
filter to dry. NOTE! High pressure compressed air can
damage the foam. After cleaning the filter should be
oiled using engine oil. Wipe away excess oil by
pressing a clean cloth against the filter.
•
An air filter that has been in use for a long time cannot
be cleaned completely. The filter must therefore be
replaced with a new one at regular intervals. A
damaged air filter must always be replaced.
•
When reassembling, make sure that the filter
completely seals against the filter holder.
Oil change
•
Empty the fuel tank.
•
Excellent H, Pro 17 H, Pro 19 H Close the fuel tap.
•
Unscrew the oil filler cap.
•
Place a suitable vessel to collect the oil in.
•
Drain the oil by tipping the engine so that the oil runs
out through the filler pipe. Ask where you can dispose
of surplus engine oil at your local petrol station.
•
Fill with new engine oil of a good quality. See
instructions in the section "Technical data".
Fuel system
•
Check that the fuel cap and its seal are not damaged.
Excellent H, Pro 17 H, Pro 19 H Inside the tank cap
you will find a clock-shaped screen and a rubber
membrane to prevent evaporation losses. The
threaded spiral functions as a vent. If the tank cap
breaks, it is important to replace it with an original cap
appropriate for that particular engine.
•
Check the fuel hose. Replace if necessary.
