4 USING THE MACHINE
Check that the grass that is to be cut is
completely free of foreign objects such
as stones etc.
4.1 CUTTING HEIGHT
The best cutting results are achieved when the
when the top third of the grass is cut off. I.e. 2/3 of
the length of the grass remains. See fig. 14.
If the grass is long and has to be cut significantly,
cut twice using different cutting heights.
Do not use the lowest cutting heights if the lawn
surface is uneven. This would entail a risk of the
blades being damaged against the surface and the
lawn's top layer of soil being removed.
4.2 INCLINE
The cutting deck's rear section can be lifted so that
the deck has a greater forward incline than that
provided by the basic setting. This incline affects
the cutting results as follows.
4.2.1 Basic setting
When the deck is in the basic setting, the best
mulching effect and good dispersion of the cut
grass are achieved. The basic setting is recom-
mended for normal grass. See 3.5.
4.2.2 Greater inclination
When the cutting deck is inclined forwards, the
"Multiclip" effect is reduced while the cut grass is
dispersed better.
Inclining forwards is recommended for thicker
grass.
4.3 MOWING ADVICE
In order to achieve optimum mowing results, fol-
low the advice below:
• Cut frequently.
• Run the engine at full throttle.
• The grass should be dry.
• Use sharp blades.
• Keep the underside of the cutting deck clean.
4.4 COMPOSTING/REAR EJECTION
The deck can cut grass in two ways:
• Compost the grass into the lawn.
• Eject the grass behind the deck.
The deck is set for composting on delivery. In or-
der to eject the grass behind the deck, the plug in
fig. 18 must be removed.
Set the deck in cleaning or service position in order
to remove/install the plug.

5 MAINTENANCE
5.1 PREPARATION
All service and all maintenance must be carried out
on a stationary machine with the engine switched
off.
Prevent the machine from rolling by al-
ways applying the parking brake.
Stop the engine.
Prevent unintentional starting of the
engine by disconnecting the spark plug
cable from the spark plug and remov-
ing the ignition key.
5.2 WASHING POSITION
1. Activate the parking brake.
2. Set the implement lifter in transport position.
3. Set the highest cutting height.
4. Detach the rear section of the deck on the right
and left-hand side as follows:
A. Lift up the left-hand rear section of the deck
slightly to reduce the load from the cotter pin.
B. Remove pins and washer. See fig. 2.
C. Remove the right-hand cotter pin and washer in
the same way.
5. Grip the front edge of the deck and lift up. Hook
on the chain so that the deck is pointing diago-
nally upwards. See fig. 16.
It is absolutely forbidden to start the
engine when the deck is in the washing
position.
6. Lower the deck to the ground in reverse order
after the corrective actions have been carried
out. Reset the deck according to "3".
5.3 SERVICE POSITION
5.3.1 Machines with fixed deck connec-
tions
1. Activate the parking brake.
2. If the deck has electrical cutting height adjust-
ment, disconnect the cable from the machine.
See fig. 13.
3. Set the maximum cutting height.
4. See fig. 2. Detach the rear section of the deck on
the right and left-hand side as follows:
A. Lift up the left-hand rear section of the deck
slightly to reduce the load from the cotter pin.
B. Remove pins and washer.
C. Remove the right-hand cotter pin and washer in
the same way.
