Tightening torques

Standard tightening torques

Bolts and Nuts

A number of bolts are used in each part of this machine. Be sure to re-tighten the bolts and nuts, because they may be loosened at the earlier stage of the use.

As to the bolts and nuts without any special instruction, tighten them in appropriate tightening torque with proper tool. Too much tightening may cause the looseness or damage of the screw. The strength of tightening is determined by types of screws, strength, the friction of thread face or base face and others. The table below is for the galvanized or parkerized bolts. In case that the strength of internal thread is weak, it is not applied. Do not use rusty or sand attached "screw." Otherwise, it may cause insufficient tightening even if you apply the specified tightening torque. The friction of the screw face becomes higher and the tightening torque is canceled out by the friction, therefore sufficient tightening cannot be applied. If "screw" is wet by water or oil, do not tighten it with normal tightening torque. If the screw is wet, the torque coefficient will get smaller and it may result in too much tightening. Too much tightening may cause looseness by the screw stretched or result in damage. Do not use a bolt experienced too much burden. Using the impact wrench requires the skill. Do exercise as much as possible for steady tightening.

Maintenance Precautions

First, learn well the maintenance operations you plan to perform.

Use tools appropriate for each maintenance operation.

For the safe and best performance of your machine, use Baroness genuine parts for replacement and accessories. Please note that our product warranty may be void if you use non-genuine parts for replacement or accessories.

Pay attention to the machine standing up with the maintenance stand lifted up when large power is added to the mower unit of the machine tilting toward the handle side.

Park the machine on a level place.

1. Tilt it slowly toward the handle side and

2. pass the handle grip through the hollow cylinder pipe of the maintenance stand.

Set the handle so that the maintenance

3. stand can stand upright.

Position of mower during maintenance

If the mower handle is left leaned on the ground for a long time during maintenance engine oil may enter the engine combustion chamber and cause the engine to run improperly. Be careful not to keep this position long and ensure sufficient time for any oil to drain back by returning to upright position for ten minutes before starting.

An attitude of the machine tilting toward the handle side at a large angle may cause the engine malfunction.

Note: The attitude of the machine tilting toward the handle side at a large angle is a state where the engine tilts more than 30 degrees from the upright position.

For maintenance of the machine fitted with

･

the traveling wheels: Use the maintenance stand to prevent from the engine malfunction.

Back Lapping of Reel Cutter (Cutting Cylinder)

Back lapping is work similar to sharpening a cooking knife. If the edges of the reel cutter (cutting cylinder) and the bed knife (bottom blade) become blunt and make cutting difficult, both the reel cutter (cutting cylinder) and the bed knife (bottom blade) should be simultaneously sharpened by reversing the reel cutter (cutting cylinder) with an abrasive paste applied. However, back lapping is a temporary measure and would not restore the sharpness completely. If the edges of the reel cutter (cutting cylinder) and the bed knife (bottom blade) become blunt and make cutting difficult, follow the steps below to perform back lapping.

Both the reel cutter (cutting cylinder) and the bed knife (bottom blade) are edged tools. Handle them carefully, since they could cut your hands and feet.

1 Newspaper

2 Back lapping powder

3 Gel compound

4 Brush

Note: The mixing ratio for the abrasive, in volume, is one part back lapping powder (#200 #400) to three or four parts oil.

Have a lapping machine or the lapping

2. handle ready.

Check the sharpness of the blade by checking the blade engagement after cutting grass.

During back lapping, the reel cutter (cutting cylinder) rotates. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.

Do not perform back lapping with any other persons.

Have the following items ready: Strips of

1. newspaper, Abrasive [Back lapping powder mixed with oil; or gel compound (Baroness genuine abrasive)], Brush.

Stop the engine.

3. Shift the the FOC (High/Low Clip) selector

Sharpening of Reel Cutter (Cutting Cylinder)

For sharpening the reel cutter (cutting cylinder), contact your dealer or Baroness. If the outer diameter of the reel cutter (cutting cylinder) after sharpening is more than the usage limit, the reel cutter (cutting cylinder) can be sharpened.

Note: The outer diameter of the reel cutter (cutting cylinder) shaft is 25.4 mm.

Both the reel cutter (cutting cylinder) and the bed knife (bottom blade) are edged tools. Handle them carefully, since they could cut your hands and feet.

Wear gloves when touching edged tools to avoid cutting your hands.

The sharpening of the reel cutter (cutting cylinder) consists in maintaining its roundness and creating a relief (second edge face). This work should be performed if the sharpness cannot be restored, even after back lapping, or if the relief (second edge face) has worn away. Sharpen the reel cutter (cutting cylinder) when the sharpness cannot be restored, even after back lapping, or when the relief (second edge face) has worn away, there is full contact or back lapping takes too much time. In addition, if the reel cutter (cutting cylinder) becomes worn and its shape conical, perform cylindrical grinding to return it to a cylindrical shape.
