MAINTENANCE
Safety System
The machine is equipped with a safety system
that prevents starting or driving under the
following conditions.
The engine can only be started when:
• the mower deck is disengaged.
• the steering controls are in the outer, locked
neutral position.
• the park brake is on.
Make daily inspections to ensure that the safety
system works by attempting to start the engine
when one of the conditions is not met. Change
the conditions and try again.
If the machine starts when one of these
conditions is not met, turn the machine off and
repair the safety system before using the machine
again.
Make sure the engine stops when the park brake
is not engaged and the operator leaves the
seated position.
Check that the engine stops if the mower blades
are engaged and the driver temporarily moves off
the driver's seat.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION To be able to
drive, the driver must sit in the seat and release
the park brake before the steering controls can
be moved into the neutral position, otherwise
the engine will stop.
Park Brake
Visually check that no damage is found on the
lever, links, or switch belonging to the park brake.
Perform a standstill test and check that there is
sufficient braking. For park brake adjustments,
contact the PoulanPro service workshop.
WARNING! Faulty adjustment will result
in reduced braking and can cause an accident.
Cutting Blades
CAUTION! Blades are sharp. Protect
your hands with gloves and/or wrap blades with
a heavy cloth when handling.
The sharpening of blades must be
carried out by an authorized service
workshop.
For the best mowing effect, it is important that the
blades are well sharpened and not damaged.
Replace blades that have been bent or cracked
when hitting obstacles.
Let the service workshop decide whether a blade
with large nicks can be repaired/ground or must
be replaced. Balance the blades after sharpening.
Check the blade mounts.
Blade Replacement
1. Remove the blade bolt by turning it counter
clockwise.
2. Install the new or re-sharpened blade with
the stamped GRASS SIDE facing toward the
ground/grass (down) or THIS SIDE UP facing
the deck and cutter housing.
3. Install and tighten the blade bolt securely.
4. Torque blade bolt to 45-55 ft/lbs (61-83 Nm).
IMPORTANT INFORMATION The special
blade bolt is heat treated. Replace it with a
PoulanPro bolt if required. Do not a use lower
grade hardware than specified.
V-belts
Check at 100 hour intervals of operation. Check
for severe cracking and large nicks.
NOTE: The belt will show some small cracks in
usual operation.
The belts are not adjustable. Replace belts if they
begin to slip from wear.
Deck Belt Removal
1. Park on a level surface. Apply park brake.
2. Lower the deck into the lowest cutting
position.
3. Remove bolts from belt shields and remove
shields.
4. Remove any dirt or grass that may have
accumulated around the cutter housings and
entire deck surface.
