3. When the clutch loop is
pressed in approx. 2 cm (posi-
tion 1) there should be some
resistance when moving the
mower backwards. With the
clutch loop fully pressed in
(position 2) it should not be
possible to pull the mower
backwards. Loosen the lock-
ing nutUand screw out the
nippleTuntil this position is
achieved.
4. Finally tighten the locking nutU.
ADJUSTING THE VARIATOR CABLE (*)
If the speed difference between the settings on the
variator control, which gives the highest speed
(position 3 and ), are judged to be too little or do
not exist at all it may be necessary to adjust the var-
iator cable (fig. 16).
1. Run the mower in the position for a few
minutes.
2. If there is any play on the variator cable by nip-
pleYthe cable must be adjusted. Loosen the
locking nutXand adjust the cable by screwing
out the nippleYuntil the play on the cable is
taken up.
3. Tighten the locking nutX.
Note! Do not tension the cable more than neces-
sary, it should just sit in the nippleYwithout play.
Too much cable tension will cause the drive belt to
break or result in damage to other parts of the
transmission. When adjusting after, e.g. fitting a
new belt, always start with the nippleYscrewed in
fully.
CHANGING BLADES
Use protective gloves to prevent cuts
when changing blades/knifeblades.
Check the blade system regularly. Pay
special attention to the curved area be-
hind the blade edge for signs of wear
and tear (fig. 31). If the blade shows
signs of damage, it should be replaced. A
worn down blade creates imbalance and
can damage the mower.Always check the blade(s) after an impact. First
disconnect the ignition cable. If the blade system
has been damaged the defective parts must be
changed. Always use genuine spare parts.
To replace the blade, slacken the screw (fig. 30).
Fit the new blade so that the stamped logotype is
turned facing the blade attachment (and not facing
the grass). Refit the washer and screw. Tighten the
screw fully to a torque of 40 Nm.
When replacing the blade, the blade screw should
also be replaced.The guarantee does not cover
damage to the blade, blade holder or engine caused
by running into obstacles.
When replacing the blade, the blade holder and
blade screw, always use original spare parts. Non-
authentic spare parts could lead to the risk of per-
sonal injury or damage, even if they fit the ma-
chine.
SHARPENING OF THE BLADES
Sharpening of the blades must be done by wet
method grinding, using a whetstone or a grind-
stone.
For the sake of safety, the blades should not be
sharpened on an emery wheel. A very high temper-
ature could cause the blade to become brittle.
Once the blade has been sharpened, it
must then be balanced so as to avoid vi-
bration damage.
STORAGE
WINTER STORAGE
Empty the fuel tank. Start the engine and let it run
until it stops. The same petrol must not remain in
the tank for more than one month.
Tip up the mower and screw out the sparking plug.
Pour a teaspoon of engine oil in the sparking plug
hole. Pull out the starting handle slowly so that the
oil is distributed in the cylinder. Screw in the
sparking plug.
Thoroughly clean the mower and store it indoors in
a dry place.
