Tramontina CE30M Manual De Uso página 24

Models CE40M and CE45M
The adjusting devices are located next to the lawn mower wheels. To adjust the cutting height it is enough to move
the adjusting rod pushing it out of the chassis in order to release it from the adjusting plate [Fig. 28, Pag. 11]. Try to
set the same setting position for the height of both the front and rear wheels of the lawn mower.
Models CE40M and CE45M have 5 cutting height positions:
CE40M: 20 mm - 32 mm - 45 mm - 58 mm - 71 mm.
CE45M: 18 mm - 30 mm - 42 mm - 54 mm - 65 mm.
Side discharge
Using the side discharge, all the grass clippings will be directed to the side outlet of the lawn mower.
Some warnings are important when choosing the cutting height:
In order to make a low cut, the land must be flat, without undulations or holes otherwise the blade can touch the
ground impairing the engine output and damaging the lawn.
In very tall grass, first make a previous cut with the cutter adjusted to high level and then another cut with the
final desired cut. This will make the task easier and will not overload the motor.
Excess loading will cause an brisk fall in revolutions and engine overheating, which will reduce its useful
life or cause burnout and loss of warranty.
Before performing any kind of maintenance work, turn the engine off and unplug the equipment.
Ensure that all the screws and nuts are always well tightened by constantly checking if the equipment is ready for use.
If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by the manufacturer, an authorized dealer or a qualified person
to reduce risk of injury.
Instructions for waste disposal
Improper disposal of solid waste can cause serious damage to the environment, including soil and water
contamination. Therefore, solid waste should be separated and discarded properly. Recyclable waste materials
should be recycled.
Blade
To remove the blade and make the required repairs, it is enough to fit the screw or star key into the fastening
screw and turn it counterclockwise [Fig. 29, Pag. 12]. When reattaching the blade, put it back in the same position
it was when it was removed with the Tramontina logo visible to the user when installing it. The blade is correctly
positioned with the curved part facing down.
Whenever there is a stronger impact of the blade with any obstacle, the blade must be removed and
carefully inspected. If required, change for a new one. In case of a strange noise in the engine, take the
lawn mower to a specialized Technical Assistance service.
A worn, unbalanced or blunt blade may cause damage to the engine. Use original Tramontina blades.
Sharpening the blade
The blade can be sharpened using a file or an emery wheel.
Blade balance
To check the blade balance, pass a rod through the middle hole in order to achieve the smallest possible gap.
23 Rest the rod ends on two supporting and leveled points: if the blade is imbalanced, the heavier side will slant.
