Maintenance
4. Set the handle for cutting height setting. Release
the handle by pressing in the button and turning it
to the horizontal position, so that it does not catch
on bushes etc.
The height interval is between 25 - 127 mm (1”- 5”),
7 positions.
Tilt angle
The machine must be on a flat surface.
1. Check the tyre pressures 100 kPa / 1.0 bar / 14.5 PSI and
150 kPa / 1.5 bar / 21.7 PSI for the pivot wheels.
2. Measure the distance between the ground and the
front and rear edges of the unit.
3. The rear edge of the cutting unit should be 6 - 9 mm
(1/4” - 3/8”) higher than the front edge of the unit.
4. Unscrew the lock nut and turn the adjustment
screw. Extend the stay in order to raise the rear
edge of the cutting unit.
5. Then tighten the lock nut to the mounting.
Ground pressure
The ground pressure is hydraulically governed in the floating
position. With weight transfer engaged, a lower ground
pressure on the unit's pivot wheels is obtained while the
ground pressure on the machine's front wheels is increased.
Can only be adjusted by an authorised workshop.
The Cutting Unit’s Service Position
In order to provide good accessibility for cleaning,
repair and servicing, the unit can be set in the service
position. The service position means that the unit is
raised and locked in the vertical position.
Placing in the Service Position
1. The cutting unit must be in the lowered position
and the engine off.
2. Disconnect both quick couplings for the propeller
shaft under the service hatch and remove the
propeller shaft.
3. Start the engine and raise the cutting unit to the
transport position.
4. Stop the engine.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Rear cutting height adjustment
Never leave the propeller shaft on the machine with
one end detached. If the engine starts, damage might
occur.
