the outside of the bar connection. A damaged cable may result in a technical
defect of the equipment.
Transporting and securing the equipment
–
If the equipment has to be carried, do not hold the ejection flap! Hold the carrying
handle at the front and at the back (see Figure N ).
Please take the weight of the machine into consideration before lifting it (see
Technical Data). Lifting large weights can result in health problems.
We recommend that two people should always lift or carry the equipment.
–
Transport the unit upright on all 4 wheels to avoid fuel loss, damage to the
equipment and personal injury.
–
Park the means of transport on level ground so that the equipment cannot roll
away before it is secured.
–
Remove the collecting bag and secure it separately during transport.
–
Secure the equipment with approved load-securing devices (e.g. tie-down straps
with clamping elements) on or inside the vehicle. Tie-down straps are belt bands
made of synthetic fibres. Every tie-down strap is marked with a label. The label
contains important details for application. The information on this label must be
heeded when using the tie-down strap.
–
For loaded goods that can roll, we recommend using direct strapping with four
lashing straps. Secure the wheels of the equipment in such a way that it does not
move during transportation.
NOTE
Do not tighten the belts too firmly. Fixing the equipment too firmly can cause
damage.
Maintenance of the blade
A sharp blade guarantees optimum cutting performance. Before you start mowing,
always check the condition and firm attachment of the cutting blade. The blade
attachment screw must always be tightened by an authorised workshop. If the blade
screw is too tight or too loose, the blade coupling and cutter bar can become damaged
or loose which can lead to serious injuries. A worn or damaged blade must always be
replaced.
Sharpening and balancing the blade (Illustration Q )
WARNING
The sharpening and balancing of the blade should be carried out only by an
authorized specialist workshop. An improperly sharpened or unbalanced blade
can cause severe vibrations, and damage the lawnmower.
The cutting edges of the cutting blade may be grinded only until the respective value
(see illustration Q ) or the marking (1) on the cutting blade (ring) has been reached.
Attention! Observe the grinding angle of 30°.
Your professional workshop can check this value - (grinding limit) for you!
WARNING
A blade by which the wear limit (marking) has been exceeded can break off and
spin away; this can cause severe injuries.
Replacing the blade
WARNING
The cutting blade bar must always be replaced by an authorised workshop. A
wrongly assembled cutting blade coupling or a blade screw that is tightened too
tightly or too loosely can allow the cutting blade bar to become loose and cause
severe injuries.
–
Only use genuine cutter bars for replacement. Non-equivalent spare parts can
damage the machine and are a safety hazard.
–
Replacement cutting tool must be marked permanently with the name and/or
company logo of the manufacturer or supplier and the part number.
Servicing the wheels
Lubricate the wheel bearings once a year or every 15-20 operating hours.
–
Remove the covers in the middle of the wheel caps.
–
Use a socket wrench to loosen the hexagon nut, remove the washer, pull the
wheels off the wheel axle together with the wheel cap and collar washer. Remove
the wheel cap from the wheel.
–
After the bearings have been lubricated using the roller bearing grease (e.g.
"KAJO-Langzeitfett LZR 2"), push the wheels back on. First insert the collar
washer into the wheel, set the wheel cap in place and press until you hear it click.
Set the washer in place, fix using the hexagon nut and tighten to such an extent
that the wheels can just about turn easily but without play. Replace the covers in
the middle of the wheel caps.
Servicing the rear wheel drive (only with selective engine drive)
(Illustration R )
Lubricate the wheel bearings once a year or every 15-20 operating hours.
–
Remove the wheel cap cover on both sides.
–
Use a socket wrench to loosen the hexagon nut, remove the washer, pull the drive
wheels off the wheel axle together with the wheel cap and collar washer.
–
Remove the wheel cover, pay attention to the thrust washer.
–
Remove any soiling from the wheel cover, the free-wheeling pinion on the gear
shaft and the gear rim on the inside of the wheel.
NOTE
Do not remove the free wheel pinion from the gear shaft!
–
Lubricate the bearings using the roller bearing grease "KAJO-Longlife grease LZR
2". Do not lubricate the free-wheeling pinion and gear rim in the wheel!
–
Set the wheel cover in place and push the start-up disc onto the wheel axle. When
putting the drive wheel in place make sure the pinion and gear rim interlock, turn
the wheel on the axle slightly to achieve this if necessary.
–
If the wheel cap has loosened from the wheel, insert the collar washer into the
wheel first as shown in Figure R , set the wheel cap in place and press until you
hear it click. Set the washer in place, fix using the hexagon nut and tighten to such
an extent that the wheels can just about turn easily but without play. Replace the
wheel cap covers.
Servicing the drive (only with selective engine drive)
–
It is absolutely essential that the Bowden cable runs easily for switching on and off,
so that the control drive works perfectly.
–
The Bowden traction mechanism has been set ready for operation at the works
and requires no adjustment.
Changing the drive V-belt
The drive V-belt must be replaced by a specialist workshop.
Recharging the starter battery (only for electro-start)
IMPORTANT
Use the charger supplied only for charging the respective mower battery.
Equally, do not try to charge your mower using a different charger. You could
endanger yourself or damage your equipment.
For safety reasons and to avoid damage to the charger, it may only be used
indoors and in dry rooms and the battery must not be charged in direct sunlight.
The battery can either be charged in the installed position or removed for charging.
–
Separate the connection between the battery cable and the wiring harness.
–
Remove the battery.
To remove the battery, detach the cable from the wiring harness, remove the wing
nuts. Turn the battery with the battery lid by 90° to the front and remove upwards.
–
Connect the battery cable to the original charger and plug the charger into a socket
with 230 V. (See also Chapter "Prior to initial start up – Charging the starter
battery")
–
After charging the battery, secure it to the battery holder again (if it was removed
for charging). Connect the battery cable back to the wiring harness before you start
mowing. (See also Chapter "Preparatory work – Mounting the charged starter
battery")
18 SERVICING THE ENGINE
WARNING
Avoid injury! Engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide and can cause
serious illness or death.
Do not run an engine in an enclosed area, such as a garage, even with doors and
windows open.
Move the machine to an outside area before starting the engine.
IMPORTANT
To clean the engine and for maintenance work, do not place the engine or mower
on its side but tilt forwards O (spark plug upwards) because otherwise there
may be problems starting the engine. When tipping the mower forwards, make
sure that the ejection flap is not damaged. Secure the mower in the raised
position!
