Page 10

7.6 For the best results when mowing

POW63771 EN

Clear lawn of debris. Be sure that the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire or other foreign objects which could be accidentally thrown out by the mower in any direction and cause serious personal injury to the operator and others as well as damage to property and surrounding objects. Do not cut wet grass. For effective mowing do not cut wet grass because it tends to stick to the underside of the deck preventing proper mowing of the grass clippings. Cut no more than 1/3 the length of the grass. The recommended cut for mowing is 1/3 the length of the grass. Ground speed will need to be adjusted so the clippings can be dispersed evenly into the lawn. For especially heavy cutting in thick grass it may be necessary to use one of the slowest speeds in order to get a clean well mowed cut. When mowing long grass you may have to cut the lawn in two passes, lowering the blade another 1/3 of the length for the second cut and perhaps cutting in a different pattern than was used the first time. Overlapping the cut a little on each pass will also help to clean up any stray clippings left on the lawn. The mower should always be operated at full throttle to get the best cut and allow it to do the most effective job of mowing. Clean underside of deck. Be certain to clean the underside of the cutting deck after each use to avoid a build-up of grass, which would prevent proper mulching. Mowing leaves. The mowing of leaves can also be beneficial to your lawn. When mowing leaves make sure they are dry and are not laying too thick on the lawn. Do not wait for all the leaves to be off the trees before you mow.

WARNING: if you strike a foreign object, stop the engine. Remove wire from spark plug, thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage and repair the damage before restarting and operating the mower. Extensive vibration of the mower during operation is an indication of damage. The unit should be promptly inspected and repaired.

7.7 Grass catcher bag

Empty and clean the bag, make sure it is clean and ensure its meshwork is ventilated. (Fig. 8)

Page 11

7.8 Deck

The underside of the mower deck should be cleaned after each use to prevent a buildup of grass clippings, leaves, dirt or other matter. If this debris is allowed to accumulate, it will invite rust and corrosion, and may prevent proper mulching. The deck may be cleaned by tilting the mower and scraping clean with a suitable tool (make certain the spark plug wire is disconnected).

7.9 Height adjustment instructions

Caution: do not at any time make any adjustment to lawnmower without first stopping the engine and disconnecting the spark plug wire.

Caution: before changing mowing height, stop mower and disconnect spark plug cable.

Your mower is equipped with a central height adjustment lever offering 7 height positions

 Stop mower and disconnect spark plug cable before changing mower cutting height.  The central height adjustment lever offers you 7 different height positions.  To change the height of cut, squeeze adjuster lever toward the wheel, moving up or down

to selected height. (Fig. 9)

 All wheels will be in the same height of cut.

8 MAINTENANCE

8.1 Spark plug

Use only original replacement spark plug. For best results, replace the spark plug every 100 hours of use. Always disconnect the spark plug cable before any maintenance on the machine is performed. Do not leave the removed spark plug connected to the spark plug cable, in order to avoid ignition sparks.

8.2 Lubrication instructions

POW63771 EN

Caution: disconnect spark plug before servicing.

 WHEELS-Lubricate the ball bearings in each wheel at least once a season with a light oil.

9 CLEANING

CAUTION: Do not hose engine. Water can damage engine or contaminate the fuel system.

 Wipe deck with dry cloth.  Hose under deck by tilting the mower so that the spark plug is up.

9.1 Engine air cleaner

The foam element must be serviced regularly if the mower is used in dry dusty conditions.

9.1.1 To clean air filter (Fig. 10)

 Press down the two tabs on top of the filter cover. Remove cover.  Wash filter element in soap water. DO NOT USE GASOLINE!  Air dry filter element.  Place a few drops of SAE30 oil on the foam filter and squeeze tightly to remove any

excess oil.

 Reinstall filter.

NOTE: Replace filter if frayed, torn, damaged or unable to be cleaned.

9.2 Cutting blade

CAUTION: Be sure to disconnect and ground the spark plug wire before working on the cutting blade to prevent accidental engine starting. Protect hands by using heavy gloves or a rag to grasp the cutting blades.

Tip mower. Remove the hex bolt and washer which hold the blade and blade adapter to the engine crankshaft. Remove the blade and adapter from the crankshaft.

WARNING: Periodically inspect the blade adapter for cracks, especially if you strike a foreign object. Replace when necessary.

For best results your blade should be sharp. The blade may be resharpened by removing it and either grinding or filing the cutting edge keeping as close to the original bevel as possible. It is extremely important that each cutting edge receives an equal amount of grinding to prevent an unbalanced blade. Improper blade balance will result in excessive vibration causing eventual damage to the engine and mower. Be sure to carefully balance blade after sharpening. The blade can be tested for balance by balancing it on a round shaft screwdriver. Remove metal from the heavy side until it balances evenly. Before reassembling the blade and the blade adapter to the unit, lubricate the engine crankshaft and the inner surface of the blade adapter with light oil. Install the blade adapter on the crankshaft with the "star" away from the engine. Refer to figure 11. Place the blade with the part number facing away from the adapter. Align the washer over the blade and insert the hex bolt. Tighten the hex bolt to the torque listed below (9.3)

9.3 Blade mounting torque

Center Bolt 40Nm.min, 54Nm.max. To insure safe operation of your unit. ALL nuts and bolts must be checked periodically for correct tightness. After prolonged use, especially in sandy soil conditions, the blade will become worn and lose some of the original shape. Cutting efficiently will be reduced and the blade should be replaced. Replace with an approved factory replacement blade only. Possible damage resulting from blade unbalance condition is not the responsibility of the manufacturer. When you change the blade, you must use the original type marked on the blade (for order the balde, pls. contact your local dealer or call our company, see cover page).

Warning: Do not touch rotating blade.
