set to 60-65 Nm. If necessary, replace nuts and bolts only with GENUINE
SPARE PARTS.
6.3.2 C
UTTING DECK ALIGNMENT
The cutting deck should be properly set to obtain a good cut. 
To achieve good results from cutting, the front part should
always be 5 - 6 mm lower than the rear.
1. Put the machine onto a flat surface and
check the tyre pressure;
2. put 26 mm blocks (1) under the front edge
of the deck and 32 mm blocks (2) under
the rear edge, then put the lifting lever into
position «1»;
3. loosen the nuts (3-5), the locknuts (4-6) on
the right and left-hand side and the nuts (7
– 8), so that the deck is resting firmly on
the blocks;
4. tighten the nut (3) and the locknut (4);
5. turn the nut (7) until the front part of the
deck just begins to rise;
6. turn the nut (5) until the rear part of the
deck just begins to rise and tighten the
locknut (6);
7. check the front part and if necessary, turn
the nut (7);
8. tighten the nut (8) on the pin (9).
If you are unable to adjust the cutting deck properly, consult a Licensed Service
Centre.
6.3.3 A
DJUSTING THE ENGAGEMENT AND BRAKE OF THE BLADE
When you operate the lever to disengage the blade, this also brings the brake
into operation for stopping the blade within few seconds. If this is faulty, contact
a Licensed Service Centre.

							6.3.4 BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
If the braking distance lengthens, the
brake will need adjusting. 
The adjustment will need to be made with
the parking brake ENGAGED. 
1. Remove the collector channel (1),
which is fixed by a pin (2) and split pin
(3);
2. turn the adjusting nut (4) (which is
reached by taking off the engine cover)
until there is a distance of 86-88 mm
between the bracket (5) and the upper
part of the lever (6).
3. refit the collector channel (1) and put
the pin (2) and split pin (3) back in
place.
If the brake still does not work properly even after this
adjustment, immediately contact the Licensed Service Centre. DO NOT
ATTEMPT ANY OTHER WORK ON THE BRAKE THAN WHAT IS
DESCRIBED HERE.
6.3.5 A
DJUSTING THE TENSION OF THE DRIVE BELT
If you should notice that forward drive power
has dropped, it will be necessary to adjust the
spring of the stretcher. Make the adjustment
with the parking brake DISENGAGED (to make
sure that the machine does not move) and with
the cutting deck in position «3».
1. Remove the collector channel (1), fastened
by a pin (2) and the split pin (3);
2. check that the cap (4) of the engagement
cable is fitted firmly in its correct position;
3. turn the nuts (5) until the spring (6) reaches a
total length of 174 - 176 mm measured from
the outer ends of the eyelets;

4. check that the spring (7) of the engage-
ment cable is not too taut or too loose.
Otherwise, turn the adjusting nut (8) until
the spring reaches the right condition.
5. check the measurement of the spring (6)
again;
6. refit the collector channel (1), and always
put back the pin (2) and the split pin (3).
6.4 DISMANTLING AND REPLACEMENT
6.4.1 R
EPLACING WHEELS
1. Place the machine on a flat surface and
put blocks under a load-bearing part of
the frame on the side of the wheel to be
changed;
2. using a screwdriver, remove the snap ring
(1) and the washer (2);
3. pull out the wheel.
Smear some waterproof
grease on the axle and after refitting the
wheel, carefully refit the washer (2) and the
snap ring (1).
Should you replace wheels or tyres, ensure that the right and
left wheels are of the same rolling diameter, and check that cutting deck is ad-
justed properly to prevent an uneven cut.
6.4.2 R
EPLACING AND REPAIRING TYRES
All puncture repairs or replacements will have to be carried out by a tyre repair
expert in accordance with the methods for the kind of tyre used.

							6.4.3 ELECTRIC AND PROTECTION SYSTEM
In the electric start models:
The electric system and the electronic card
are protected by a fuse. When it blows the
machine stops, so in this case:
1. remove the engine housing (1) using a
screwdriver;
2. replace the fuse (2) with another one
with the same capacity; 
3. remount the engine housing (1).
The fuse capacity is indicated on the fuse.
A blown fuse must
always be replaced by one of the same
type and ampere rating, and never with
one of another rating.
If you cannot find out why the fuse has blown, consult a Licensed Service
Centre.
In the manual start models:
The electric system and the card are not protected by any fuses. If the safety
system fails to work properly or there are engine problems due to the electric
system, contact a Licensed Service Centre.
6.4.4 R
EPLACING THE BELT
The belt replacement must be carried out at a Licensed Service Centre.
Replace the belts as soon as they show obvious signs of
wear! ALWAYS USE GENUINE REPLACEMENT BELTS!
