Brake Adjustment - Honda HF2317 Manual De Instrucciones

– position two 24-28 mm spacer blocks (1) under the front edge of
the cutting-means assembly and two spacer blocks (2) 5-7 mm
higher under the rear edge, making sure they are positioned along
the centre line of the cutting means;
– shift the height adjusting lever to position «1».

– Fully loosen the two nuts (3), the nuts (4 – 6 – 8) and the lock-
nuts (5 – 7 – 9) of the three connecting rods until the cutting-
means assembly is resting on the blocks;
– screw the two upper right nuts (6 - 8) and the lower left nut (4)
until the cutting-means assembly starts rising; tighten the three
locknuts (5 - 7 - 9) and turn the nuts (3) until a minimal move-
ment of the lifting lever causes analogous movement of all the
lifting connecting rods.
Any difference in height from the ground between the left and
right sides of the cutting-means assembly can be compensated
by turning the two nuts (4 - 8) and locknuts (5 - 9) of just the back
connecting rods.
Move the control lever to 2 or
3 different positions, making
sure that the cutting-means as-
sembly rises evenly and that
the difference in height from the
ground remains the same be-
tween the front and rear edge.
If the front part tends to rise
faster or slower it can be ad-
justed by turning the nuts (10)
on the connecting rod (11).
Screwing the nuts down on
the rod will lift the front part
and make it rise faster, and un-
screwing them will give the op-
posite effects.

– Loosen the nuts (3), the screws (5) and the locknuts (4-6) on the
right and left-hand side, so that the cutting-means assembly is
resting firmly on the blocks;
– push the two connection rods
backwards (7) and tighten
the nuts (3) to the respective
rods until both the left and
right side of the front part of
the cutting-means assembly
begin to rise and then tighten
the locknuts (4);
– turn both the rear screws (5)
until both the left and right
side of the rear part of the
cutting-means assembly be-
gin to rise and then tighten
the relative locknuts (6);
If you are unable to adjust the
cutting-means assembly properly,
consult your Dealer.
6.3.3 Adjusting the cutting means gear and brake
When you operate the lever to disengage the cutting means, this

also brings the brake into operation which stops rotation within a
few seconds.
A stretched cable and/or changes in the length of the belt can impair
the correct engagement or rotation of the cutting means.
In such cases, turn the adjuster as foreseen for the model in ques-
tion.
Adjust the register (1) till the spring (2) is the correct length.

In any case, please contact your Dealer if, after the adjustment,
the gear is not able to engage the belt correctly or block the cutting
means within a few seconds.

6.3.4 Brake adjustment

Braking distances that are longer than those indicated
( 5.3.6), require a brake spring adjustment.
The adjustment will need to be made with the parking brake en-
gaged.
It is possible to access the adjustment by removing the door located
on the tunnel at the base of the seat.
Loosen the nut (1) which retains
the bracket (2) and then turn the
nut (3) so that the length of the
spring is:
B = 45 - 47 mm
measured from the inside of the
washers. When the adjustment
has been made, tighten the nut (1).
IMPORTANT
Do not tighten the screws below these values to
avoid overloading the brake unit.
WARNING!
If the brake still does not work properly even
after this adjustment, immediately contact your dealer. DO
NOT ATTEMPT ANY OTHER WORK ON THE BRAKE THAN
WHAT IS DESCRIBED HERE.
6.3.5 Adjusting the tension of the drive belt
