Checking the installation position of
the mowing blades (RT 5112 Z,
RT 6112 ZL, RT 6127 ZL):
Risk of injury!
The mowing blades must be
installed offset at an angle of
approx. 90° to each other to
prevent them touching during
mowing.
The mowing deck must not be
engaged if the angle of the blades
relative to each other is not as
specified.
If necessary consult a specialist
dealer. STIHL recommends STIHL
specialist dealers.
STIHL recommends removing the
mowing deck if the installation
position needs to be checked.
If a suitable lifting platform is
