SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

TRAINING

• Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the controls and the proper use of the equipment.

• Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the mower. Local regulations may restrict the

age of the operator.

• Never mow while people, especially children, or pets are nearby.

• Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property.

PREPARATION

• While mowing, always wear substantial footwear and long trousers. Do not operate the equipment when barefoot or wearing open sandals.

• Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remove all stones, sticks, wires, bones and other foreign objects.

• WARNING - Petrol is highly flammable. Take the following precautions:

- Store fuel in containers specially designed for this purpose.

- Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while refuelling.

- Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add petrol while the engine is running

or when the engine is hot.

- If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away from the area of spillage and avoid

creating any source of ignition until petrol vapours have dissipated.

- For reasons of safety the petrol tank and tank cap lock must be replaced if damaged.

• Replace faulty silencers.

• Before using, always visually inspect to see that the blades, blade bolts and cutter assembly are not worn or damaged.

Replace worn or damaged blades in sets to preserve balance.

• On multibladed machines, take care as rotating one blade can cause other blades to rotate.

OPERATION

• Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.

• Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light.

• Avoid operating the equipment in wet grass, where feasible.

• Always be sure of your footing on slopes.

• Walk, never run.

• For wheeled rotary machines, mow across the face of slopes, never up and down.

• Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.

• Do not mow excessively steep slopes.

• Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the mower towards you.

• Stop the blade(s) if the mower has to be tilted for transportation when crossing sur faces other than grass and when

transporting the mower to and from the area to be mowed.

• Never operate the mower with defective guards or shields, or without safety devices, for example deflectors and/or grass catchers in place.

• Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed the engine.

• Disengage all blade and drive clutches before starting the engine.

• Start the engine or switch on the mower carefully according to instructions and with feet well away from the blade(s).

• Do not tilt when starting the engine or switching on the motor, unless the mower has to be tilted for starting. In this case,

do not tilt it more than absolutely necessary and lift only the part which is away from the operator.

• Do not start the engine when standing in front of the discharge chute.

• Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.

• Never pick up or carry a mower while the engine is running.

• Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug lead:

- Before clearing blockages or unclogging the chute.

- Before checking, cleaning or working on the mower.

- After striking a foreign object. Inspect the mower for damage and make repairs before restarting and operating the

mower.

- If the mower starts to vibrate abnormally check immediately.

• Stop the engine:

- Whenever you leave the mower.

- Before refuelling.

• Reduce the throttle setting during engine run-out and if the engine is provided with a shut-off valve, turn off the fuel at the conclusion of mowing.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

• Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.

• Never store the equipment with petrol in the tank inside a building where fumes may reach an open flame or spark.

• Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.

• To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, silencer, battery compartment and petrol storage area free of grass, leaves,

or excessive grease.

• Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or deterioration.

• Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.

• If the fuel tank has to be drained, do this outdoors.

• Refer to the “Warning” and “Caution” notes at the beginning of the maintenance section.

• Refer to the “Caution” notes in the “Belt Adjustment” section.

CAUTION

• Always wear gloves when handling the cutting mechanism.

• Wear gloves and be aware of pinch points when handling the drive belt mechanism.

• Secure the mower safely when tilted upwards to access the underside.

• Place the rear wheels on support blocks so that the rear extension guard will clear the

ground when lifting the front of the mower up. This will prevent damage to the guard which is a mandatory safety item.

WARNING

• Remove the drive frame cover (refer to the “Removing the Drive Frame Cover” section).

• Unscrew the drive belt adjustment screw until the spring touches the underside of the gearbox housing (refer figure 21).

• Fold the handle bars down and remove the grass catcher and support the rear wheels above the ground on 50mm

(min) blocks.

• Lift the front of the mower about the rear wheels until the lower handle bar contacts the ground and secure safely in this position.

• Rotate the cutting assembly to expose the two bolts which fix the belt cover (refer figure 22).

• Using a suitable spanner, remove both bolts and washers and remove the belt cover.

• Rotate the gearbox so its pulley is as close to the engine pulley as possible. Rotate the belt off the gearbox pulley

and discard the belt.

MAINTENANCE (Continued)

Drive Belt Replacement (Continued)

• Only if the mower is fitted with a full disc and blades will it be necessary to remove the cutting assembly by undoing the centre bolt and three surrounding bolts with suitable spanners.

• If the mower is fitted with the “Inline Swing Back Blade” option, rotate both blades backward until the flute on the blade touches the blade support bar (see figure 23).

• Fit the new belt on the engine pulley, rotate the gearbox so its pulley is as close to the engine pulley as possible. Rotate the belt into the gearbox pulley groove.

• Adjust the drive belt adjustment screw (refer to the “Drive Belt Adjustment” section.)

• Replace the belt cover, flat washers and bolts and tighten firmly.

• Replace the cutting assembly (where required) and fit the centre bolt and washer and the three surrounding bolts and

washers loosely before tightening in the following sequence and tensions - centre bolt (65-70 Nm) and three surrounding bolts (16-19Nm)

• If the mower is fitted with the “Inline Swing Back Blade” option, rotate the blades back so they are in line with the blade support bar.

• Lower the mower so all wheels rest on the ground.

• Replace the drive frame cover (refer to the “Replacing the Drive Frame Cover” section).

• Clean the clipping buildup off the heads of the bolts of the belt cover fixings to ensure the spanner fits correctly.

• Clean out the belt cover and transmission area thoroughly before reassembly.

• Inspect the drive pulleys for wear, damage and make sure they are not loose while the belt

is removed. Replace as required.

• Special belts and pulleys are used for long life and accurate fitment, so replace with genuine Rover products.

Adjusting the Drive Clutches

Note: This procedure is only necessary should the drive cable adjustment not be able to provide sufficient drive. This

adjustment is to allow for wear on the drive plates in the long term.

• Refer to the “Warning” and “Caution” notes at the beginning of the maintenance section.

CAUTION

• Remove the drive frame cover (refer to the “Removing the Drive Frame Cover” section) to expose the drive clutch plates and other adjustments.

• Loosen the drive chain fully by unscrewing the chain adjuster (refer figure 24).

• Loosen the drive belt fully by unscrewing the drive belt adjuster (refer figure 25).

• Using a suitable Allen key, remove the centre fixing and thrust washer from the end of the output shaft (refer figure 26).

• Remove the two fixings retaining the outboard output shaft bearing housing (refer figure 27).

• Lift the outer end of the output shaft slightly and slide off the outboard output shaft bearing retainer (refer figure 28).

• Take note of which marking (on the boss of the inner drive plate) aligns with the end of the locking roll pin (through

the output shaft) (refer figure 29).

• Move the drive plates and actuating cam in an outboard direction until the inner drive plate is free of the roll pin (refer figure 29).

• Rotate the inner driver plate until the roll pin aligns with the marking with ONE extra groove than that originally noted above. Slide back to lock the drive plate to the roll pin into its new position.

• Replace the outer output shaft bearing retainer and screw down firmly in position.

• Replace the centre fixing and thrust washer on the end of the output shaft, apply thread locking solution to the centre

fixing and tighten firmly.

• Readjust the drive chain (refer to the “Drive Chain Adjustment” section).

• Readjust the drive belt (refer to the “Drive Belt Adjustment” section).

• Replace the drive frame cover (refer to the “Replacing Drive Frame Cover” section).

• Re-adjust the clutch cable (refer to the “Adjusting the Drive Cable” section).

• The marks on the inner drive plate boss represents positions ‘1’, ‘11’, & ‘111’. Setting ‘1’ is generally used with a new drive plate whereas position ‘111’ is for a worn unit.

• If the drive cable adjustment is insuff icient with the inner drive plate in position ‘111’ the drive plates must be replaced.

• Clean off and apply new grease to the cams of the outboard output shaft bearing retainer and cam lever before reassembly.

• Ziehen Sie das Rad von der Achse ab und reinigen Sie es sorgfältig.

• Einige Tropfen sauberen Motoröls auf das Ende des Antriebszahnrads über der Haltescheibe aufbringen. Drehen Sie

nun das Zahnrad, so dass das Öl eindringen kann (siehe Abbildung 31). Das Rad muss sich nun frei drehen können, falls nicht, muss der Vorgang wiederholt werden.

• Rad und Haltescheibe wieder aufsetzen und mit einer neuen Rasterplatte befestigen.

•Ist die Radnabe sauber, drehen Sie das Rad, bis Sie durch die Radstopfenbohrung hindurch das Antriebszahnrad sehen

können.

• Einige Tropfen sauberen Motoröls auf das Ende des Antriebszahnrads über der Haltescheibe aufbringen (wie oben). Drehen Sie nun das Rad ein oder zwei Mal, so dass das Öl eindringen kann. Das Rad muss sich nun frei drehen können, falls nicht, muss der Vorgang wiederholt werden (siehe Abbildung 31).

• Die Radstopfen und die Nabenkappen wieder anbringen.

• Die Nabenkappen können mit einem feinen Schraubendreher oder einem ähnlichen Werkzeug abgenommen werden, indem die Klinge des Schraubendrehers zwischen Nabenkappe und Rad gesetzt und die Kappe abgehebelt wird. Achten Sie dabei darauf, die Kappe nicht zu verbiegen.

• Die Rasterplatten müssen mit besonderem Werkzeug ausgewechselt werden. Sollten Sie sich nicht sicher sein, wenden Sie sich an Ihren nächstgelegenen Rover-Fachhändler.

• Besorgen Sie sich neue Rasterplatten, bevor Sie die Räder abbauen, da diese Platten nicht wiederverwendet werden können.
