2 INTRODUCTION
2.1 IMPORTANT
This is a precision machine and the service obtained from it depends on the way it is
operated and maintained.
This OPERATION MANUAL should be regarded as part of the machine and should
always be present at the machine and available to the operator. Suppliers of both new and
second-hand machines are advised to retain documentary evidence that this manual was
provided with the machine.
This machine is designed solely for use in customary grass cutting operations. Use in any other way is
considered as contrary to the intended use. Compliance with and strict adherence to the conditions of
operation, service and repair as specified by the manufacturer, also constitute essential element of the
intended use.
Before attempting to operate this machine, ALL operators MUST go through a practical training in machine
usage, read through this manual and make themselves thoroughly conversant with Safety Instructions,
controls, lubrication and maintenance. The machine may be operated with additional accessories specifically
designed for this purpose. Operating and Safety Instructions of such accessories must be strictly adhered to.
Accident prevention regulations, all other generally recognized regulations on safety and occupational
medicine, and all road traffic regulations shall be observed at all times.
Any arbitrary modifications carried out on this machine as well as non-adherence to this
OPERATION MANUAL may relieve the manufacturer of liability for any resulting damage or
injury.

2.2 MACHINE USAGE
The machine is designed for the mowing of grass on level as well as extremely steep terrain. Any
other use is prohibited. The maximum slope on which the machine may be used depends on the type
of area to be mowed, on the current condition of the area and on the method of mowing:
DRY CONDITIONS:
Cutting across a slope: Maximum slope is 30°
Cutting up and down a slope: Maximum slope is 35°
Cutting across a slope with mower positioned diagonally: Maximum slope is 40°
Cutting up and down a slope with use of the integrated
stabilizing winch Maximum slope is 55°
WET CONDITIONS:
All areas and applications without use of the integrated
stabilizing winch: Maximum slope is 20°
Cutting up and down a slope with use of the integrated
stabilizing winch: Maximum slope is 55°
The Spider is a mulching mower designed for mowing of well-maintained, but also unkempt
or only occasionally mowed areas. The mower is operated by one person using radio
control.
The mower may only be operated by authorized persons over 18 years of age both mentally
and physically fit, who are familiar with this Safety, Operator’s and Maintenance Manual and
all applicable regulations and laws pertaining to work health and safety that need to be
observed while operating the mulching mower Spider.
For use of the integrated stabilizing winch it is obligatory to have read the HSN 02 Winch
Operation manual and be properly trained by the seller on how to use the integrated
stabilizing winch.
When driving on a slope the operator of the machine must carefully watch and evaluate the
movements of the mower and the characteristics of the terrain, especially the momentary
adhesion of the wheels to the ground.
Pay attention to climatic conditions. Do not rely on the anchoring of the mower on the rope.
Climbing ability of the mower will rapidly change on dry, wet or moist grass.
The soil characteristics and firmness will also play a significant role. Sideslip will be much
bigger on newly built slopes then on hard ground. When working on a slope with the
integrated stabilizing winch use only one driving method: driving vertically / up and down a
slope.

safety messages in this manual. When
you see this symbol, be alert to the
possibility of injury, carefully read the
message that follows, and inform other operators.
Safety Checks
• Do not enter or reach under the machine if it
is lifted and not sufficiently supported. The
machine should be supported on places
marked by the symbol of a lifting jack.
• The mower should only be transported in a
container or on a trailer.
• Check bolt torques at regular intervals. The
first check should be done after 8 operating
hours. Pay attention to the attachment of the
cutting blade and the proper bolt torque.
Use a torque wrench and the specified
torque. See 11.21.
• The attaching flange of the blades or the
bolts must not show signs of damage or
wear. The bolts must be complete. The
blade must be undamaged, evenly worn and
adequately sharp.
• If you are driving the machine outside the
working area, always turn off the mowing
blade and set the maximum mowing height,
otherwise the blade may get damaged.
• Keep the product clean after use. Do not
use gasoline or similar oil products for
cleaning.
• Do not reach into the space under the
mower with your hands or feet. Do not reach
under the engine cover or into the gear
mechanism.
• If you are forced to reach under the
machine, wait until all rotating parts stop.
Attention, it takes some time before the
blade runs down! The run-down time
depends on the state and wear of the
brake/clutch. Have the brake checked at
regular intervals at an authorised servicing
facility.
• While operating, wear closed shoes and
work clothing. Do not wear loose clothes
that could get caught by the machine, short
trousers or light shoes.
• It is strictly prohibited for the operator to
wear loose clothing.
• A local risk assessment should determine
the need for a face shield.
• Do not operate the machine after drinking
alcohol or using medication influencing
perception.
• Before starting the engine, make sure that
the mower blade is disengaged. If the blade
switch is in the ON position, the machine
cannot be started. When engaging the
mower blade, step aside far enough to be
protected against object accidentally thrown
from the mower and to be able to stop the
mower in case of an emergency. Do not
enter the path of the mower.
• While operating the mower make sure that
the mower is clearly visible at all times and
within the range of the remote-control unit
and that you can clearly recognize
dangerous situations and react to them
properly. Do not abuse the maximum reach
of the remote control.
• When using the mower, follow all general
work safety regulations.
• Work with the mower may only be started if
the mower is not damaged by previous
operation.
• Do not change the engine tuning, especially
the engine speed regulator. Do not modify
the exhaust pipe.
• Do not use the mower if there is less than
30% of fuel in the fuel tank.
• Do not move the mower by means of towing
it behind other machines.
Operating Environment
• The machine should only be used by
persons over 18 years of age, who have
been acquainted with the machine and the
user’s manual. The remote control (further
referred to as “RC”) is considered a part of
the machine
• The user’s manual must be stored in a
place permanently accessible to the
operator and must be available to him at all
times.
• Do not allow children or unauthorised
persons use the product.
• Before starting to operate the machine, you
have to be familiar with all the symbols next
to the controls and indicators used on the
mower and the RC.
• Pay special attention to the stopping and
shutting-off of the engine and to the
emergency shutting-off of the mower.
• Before using the mower on a slope, make
sure you test and practice your mowercontrol skills on flat and level ground, which
is sufficiently free and spacious. Master
how to control the movement on a surface,
to mow around bushes, trees and other
terrain elements and obstacles.
• When operating the mower on a slope,
make sure that the engine revolutions are
set to maximum speed. If you stop the
mower on a slope, position the wheels
across the slope.
• While operating or transporting the mower,
the operators must always have the mower
in their view. The maximum distance
between the operator and the mower is 50
m (164 ft).

9 / 54 rev. 03-01-04-2019
• While using the mower follow all safety
regulations given in this manual and respect
local regulations and provisions concerning
noise-emissions, especially when using in
hospitals, spas and other sensitive areas.
• The operator must pay attention to the area
into which the mulched grass may be
thrown. Neither the operator, nor any other
persons, children or animals should be
allowed to enter this area. If mowing uneven
terrain, the ejection and throwing of
undesirable objects becomes more probable
due to the displacement of the mowing
device (tilt of one side of the machine) while
crossing the edges of different terrain.
• The operator of the machine may be held
responsible for any damage caused to third
parties by operating the machine.
• The mower may be used on dry surfaces on
slopes listed in chapter 2.2. on wet or moist
surfaces, the mowed slope should not
exceed 20 degrees when using the machine
without use of the integrated stabilizing
winch.
• Before operating the machine, make sure
you remove all loose stones, sticks, glass,
wire, bones, branches and all other objects
that can be picked up by the blades and
thrown or that could damage the mower
from the mowing area.
• While operating the mower avoid obstacles,
do not drive over higher obstacles (such as
stones, stumps, bricks), near precipices, on
unstable soil or in places where the mower
could fall down or flip over.
• When operating pay attention to electric
power lines especially when driving beneath
electric wires where the radio signal may be
lost. In such case the mower immediately
shuts off the internal combustion engine and
stops all movement.
• When using the machine near busy
thoroughfares make sure that the mower
does not endanger (by throwing undesirable
objects) passers-by or their property.
• Choose a suitable working procedure (see
chapter: 10 Operation).
• The operator/user is responsible for the
safety of persons that enter the working area
of the machine. Stop your work if these
persons enter the working area.
• The transportation of persons, animals or
loads on the mower is prohibited.
• Do not place any objects or tools on the
product.
• While operating, especially in windy
conditions, choose the operator’s position
carefully so as to keep the operator away
from the stream of exhaust gas, dust or
mulched grass.
• Stop work and clean the machine and its
cooling surfaces several times while
working in dusty conditions to avoid overheating during operation. If necessary,
clean the machine and its cooling surfaces
several times while working. The dust layer
must not exceed 1mm (3/64 inch).
• Refuel only when the machine is off –
before operating, if possible – and the fuel
tank is cold. Always keep at least 30% of
the fuel in the tank. If you need to refuel
during your work, do not fill the fuel into a
hot tank or while the engine is still hot. Let
the machine cool down.
• Before refuelling push the STOP button on
the control panel of the mower.
• Never refuel while the engine is running.
• Do not start the engine if you find spilled
fuel, open vessels with fuel or other
combustible objects or gases in the
immediate proximity of the mower.
• Do not refuel near open fire.
• Do not place this product near open fire or
other sources of heat.
• While operating or immediately after
shutting the machine off do not touch those
parts of the machine that heat up during
operation. This concerns mainly the engine
exhaust pipe, metal parts of the hydraulic
drive and metal parts of the internal
combustion engine.
• While operating do not touch the high
voltage conductor leading to the sparking
plug.
• After starting the engine, test the correct
functioning of the emergency engine stop
on the radio transmitter. This function
should be checked at least once during
every shift and every time you enter a new
area for mowing or mulching.
• Before starting your work test the correct
functioning of the safety components
(EMERGENCY STOP...) on the mower and
the RC.
• Never leave the engine running without
supervision.
• If the engine is running, do not put aside the
transmitter and do not touch or move any
parts of the machine.
• Always stop the engine when leaving the
machine, secure it against starting by
pushing the red EMERGENCY STOP
button on the control panel of mower and by
removing the key. Never leave the
transmitter next to the mower, but put it in a
different, properly secured place
inaccessible to third persons.
• Do not engage the mowing blade until
immediately before mowing.
Page 10
Operation manual - Spider ILD01G
10 / 54 rev. 03-01-04-2019
• Turn off the mowing mechanism, shut off the
engine and remove the key from the ignition
every time:
o You clean the machine
o You remove dirt from the mowing
mechanism (grass or debris).
o You run over an unknown object and need
to check for possible damage or to repair it
o The machine unusually intensively
vibrates, and you need to find the cause
o You repair the engine or other parts of the
mower (also unplug cables from sparking
plugs)
• While operating, avoid molehills, concrete
bases, guard-stones, stumps, loose stones
and curbs. These must not come into direct
contact with the blade as they could cause
serious damage. These may also
compromise the mower stability.
• Do not drive the mower into heaps of sand,
gravel or similar materials
• The mower may only be operated during
daylight or under very good artificial light
conditions.
• Do not use the mower in limited visibility
(dusk, fog, heavy rain etc.)
• Do not let the engine run in enclosed
spaces. The exhaust gases contain CO,
they damage health and can ultimately
cause death.
• The engine should only be started and
operated in open spaces. If the engine is
started and operated in enclosed spaces,
the exhaust gases must be conducted away
by the means of prolonging the exhaust pipe
outside the enclosed space. Proper
ventilation and fresh air supply must be
secured in order to prevent the accumulation
of CO.
• Before storing the machine in a closed
space, let the engine and the hydraulic drive
of the machine cool properly.
• Regularly remove all combustible objects
(dry grass, leaves...) from the areas around
the exhaust pipe, engine, and battery.
• Always control the machine from a working
station, which gives you a perfect view of
the whole working area and of the machine.
• While working, change your working
position to have a perfect view of the mower
at all times.
• When operating the mower on slopes never
enter the space directly below or above the
mower.
• The working position should be far enough
(maximum 50 meters) to prevent the
operator from getting hit by objects that may
be accidentally thrown by the mower.
• Do not operate the mower if you cannot see
it (behind terrain obstacles, corners of
buildings, hidden in grass etc.)
Safety Decals
• Before starting the mower, check the state
of the safety labels. If any labels are
damaged or missing, contact your dealer
and replace such labels on the machine.
Get thoroughly acquainted with these
labels. The placement of the labels on the
machine is obligatory.
• Do not remove or damage any of the safety
labels.
• Do not remove any covers or safety
elements. They are for your protection.
• Do not use the machine if any of the
protecting devices or covers are damaged
or missing.
• Keep the machine and its accessories clean
and in a good technical condition at all
times.
• It is strictly prohibited to make any changes
or modifications to the machine that were
not previously approved by the
manufacturer. Any modification to the
machine may lead to a hazardous situation
or injury. If these instructions are not
followed, the manufacturer does not bear
any liability for the machine and the terms
of warranty may be invalidated.
• The machine must always be equipped with
all covers and protective elements.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The mower is a self-propelled machine with four-wheel drive, controlled by the transmitter (remote radio
controller) signal. Its unique wheel-steering technology ensures a high manoeuvrability both on level ground and
on slopes.
The basic part of the machine is formed by a square solid frame, which is connected with a sliding frame. The
middle part of the sliding frame carries all transmission parts such as the engine, the hydraulic pump, the oil
cooler and the control unit. A cutter blade is attached to the bottom part of the frame. An electromagnetic clutch
is placed between the blade carrier and the engine.
Transmission is by chains and gears on all four wheels. The wheels are driven centrally by the hydraulic drive
through V-belts. The wheels are steered by an electric motor.
The control unit is situated in a box above the cover of the gel battery. The mower is controlled by a multichannel transmitter.

9.2 HYDRAULIC PUMP BY-PASS
The By-pass is used to disable the hydraulic drive and to
engage the oil bypass for manual handling (engine not
running) of the machine on flat surfaces. The by-pass
should only be used when the hydraulic drive is not
functional. For normal hydraulic drive it is necessary to
have the bolt on the pump tightened. For manual
handling loosen this bolt by two revolutions.
Before starting, check the bolt tightness. If
loose, it will disable the hydraulic drive.
Insufficient tightening may result in
undesirable behaviour of the mower on slopes.
It may uncontrollably drive down a slope.
9.3 CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL
Attention! Before checking or refilling oil stop the
engine and let it cool down.
The oil level of the machine standing on a level surface
must be between the limit marks on the dipstick (see the
engine user’s manual). Check oil according to the engine
user’s manual as follows:
1) Place the machine on a level surface.
2) Remove the upper body
3) Unscrew the dipstick and wipe off oil.
4) Without screwing inset the dipstick back into the
filler as far as you can.
5) If the oil level is close or under the lower limit
mark (ADD), fill with recommended oil up to the
upper limit mark (FULL).
6) Refit the dipstick.
Running the engine with insufficient oil
may cause serious damage to the
engine.
Check the engine oil level on a level surface and
only when the engine is off.
Use only oil recommended by the engine
manufacturer.

The mowing blades can only be engaged when the
engine is running.
Set the maximum mowing height with switch (7).
Increase engine speed by regulator 14.
Push the button for blades engagement (5)
- the mowing device turns on
Set the working position of the blade by the mowing
height switch on the remote radio controller (7)
Do not engage the mowing blades in
tall grass, damage to the clutch may
result. If you wish to mow tall grass,
move the mower to a place without tall
grass and then turn the blades on. When engaging
the blades stand in a safe distance from the mower.
Do not engage the blades if there are people near
the mower. The rotating blades may throw objects.
10.6 DISENGAGING THE BLADES
Press button (6) to disengage the blade. If you are
not planning to mow anymore, set the maximum
height with switch on the remote radio controller.
10.7 HEIGHT OF CUT ADJUSTMENT
The machine has a variable mowing height. The
mowing height can be from 60 to 110 mm as a
standard.
The mowing height can be adjusted by switch (7) on
the remote radio controller. Follow the marks on the
body of the mower.
If the grass growth is high or wet, select a higher
mowing position.
The lowest position is used when mowing wellmaintained and even areas.
When mowing unknown areas for the
first time, we recommend mowing with
blades in a higher position and - after
finishing mowing - to re-examine the
area for undesirable objects. The next
cut should only be done after the grass cuttings
have dried up.
Set the height of cut approximately, mow a few
meters of the area and check that the height of the
cut grass meets your expectations.
The height of cut on a slope may
significantly vary from that on a level
surface.
10.8 ENGAGING THE WINCH
To work with stabilizing winch switch button (15)
into ON position.
For instruction how to use stabilizing winch please
refer to “HSN 02 Winch Operation manual”.
Switch (7) has 3 positions: The
maximum and minimum limit
position and the third intermediate
position, which preserves the
current height set-up.
Cleaning the mowing mechanism
After each use the mowing mechanism must be
carefully cleaned, especially the inner walls of the
mowing deck. The cleaning should be carried out
with a scraper. The mower must not be washed by
power washer or other high-pressure devices.
When cleaning, secure the machine against
moving.
Raise the mowing mechanism to the transporting
position. When cleaning, also check the blades.
Proper maintenance and treatment of the mowing
mechanism increases the quality of work and
durability of your machine.
After cleaning and drying, especially if the mower
will not be used for a longer time, treat all
scratched parts with preservative coating.
If you are lifting the mower during cleaning,
make sure that you secure it against
movement and fall. Disconnect the battery,
remove the spark plug terminal and press the
EMERGENCY STOP button on the mower.

10.9 MULCHING COVER (OPTIONAL ATTACHMENT)
Spider ILD01 can be fitted with a mulching cover, which improves the mulching quality on well-maintained
lawns.
With the mulching cover it is possible to mow grass, which is at the most 50% higher than the
selected height of cut (i.e. max. 165 mm). If mowing higher grass, the mulch deck may become
clogged and the mulching quality may deteriorate.
Principles of quality mulching:
- Always mow after the growth has dried properly.
- When mowing thick or moist grass use lower driving speed
- If a low cut is required, you may need to mow the area twice: for the first time with the mower deck set
up higher and for the second time with the mower deck set up low.
- Keep the mower deck clean. Regularly remove remains of grass from the mower deck.
- Regularly check the condition and sharpness of the blade.
Mounting of the mulching cover
- Shut the machine down and disconnect the minus pole from the battery and spark plugs.
- Tip the machine over to the servicing position (hydraulic tank down).
- Clean the mower deck.
- Insert the mulching cover in between the mower deck and the cover clips (make sure the mulching kit
is correctly orientated)
- Push the cover into the mower deck until the clips lock in the openings in the mulching cover.
- Make sure the mulching cover is properly secured again movement and cannot accidently fall out.
- Turn the blade in on order to make sure that the blade does not collide with the mulching cover.
- Tip the machine back on its wheels.
- Reconnect the spark plug and the battery.
Dismounting of the mulching cover
- Shut the machine down, disconnect the minus pole from the battery and disconnect the spark plugs.
- Tip the machine over to the servicing position (hydraulic tank down).
- Clean the mower deck.

10.10 DRIVING THE MACHINE
The machine movement is controlled by joystick
(8) (forward and reverse) (see the symbol under
the joystick on the remote radio controller) and by
joystick (9) (Left/ right). By combining these two
controls you will be able to control the machine.
When these joysticks are moved, the machine
both accelerates and steers.
NOTICE:
Accelerate slowly so as to be able to
react to the direction in which the
mower starts to move. The V shaped
tread pattern on the tyres denotes the direction
the machine will move when forwards motion is
selected.
When driving, slowly move the joystick in the
desired forward or reverse direction.
When changing the forward motion to reverse
motion, always leave the joystick for a short
moment in the neutral positron.
When driving the mower, always set
the maximum engine speed. Driving
with any lower engine speed is
prohibited.
In cold weather let the engine run for about 2
minutes to allow the oil to get warm before
driving.
10.11 DRIVING SPEED OF THE MOWER
Always choose a suitable driving speed, which
enables an acceptable mowing quality. When
selecting speed, always start with slow and
proceed to fast, not the other way around. If the
growth is thin, you may mow at higher speed.
To control the driving speed, you can also use the
driving speed controller (2), which lets you choose
between high (rabbit) and low (turtle) driving
speeds. When starting to operate, always use the
low (turtle) speed range. Also choose the low
speed range when mowing either slopes steeper
than 20 degrees or an uneven terrain.
Never reduce the driving speed by
reducing the engine speed!!! Always
use joystick (8) to reduce the speed.
Higher speed range: 0-7 km.h1 (0-5 mph)
Lower speed range: 0-3 km.h1 (0-2 mph)
IT IS PROHIBITED to drive on slopes
steeped than 20 degrees with the
mowing device engaged and the
controller switched to the high-speed
(rabbit) position.
IT IS PROHIBITED to switch to the
high-speed position while mowing. Stop
the machine before selecting a different speed
range.

10.12 DRIVING ON SLOPES
Driving on slopes is very demanding for the
operator, as they constantly have to evaluate
information about the movement of machine
and the character of the terrain. Especially
important is the wheel adhesion to the grass or
other surfaces and the mower tilt angle. Pay
attention to climatic conditions. The climbing
ability of the mower will be radically different
on dry, wet or moist grass slopes.
The mower may work on the
recommended slopes (see chapter 2.2)
only when the surface (grass) is dry. If
the grass is wet or moist, the maximum
slope, on which work is permitted, is 20 degrees
without use of the integrated stabilizing winch,
when using the integrated stabilizing winch the
climbing ability is up to 55 degrees.
Examine the working area closely. Evaluate the
situation and test the possibilities and
characteristics of the specific terrain. Do not take
chances. If the mower loses traction, you have lost
control, stop mowing and re-evaluate the
conditions.
The driving wheels of the mower must be evenly
inflated to the maximum value allowed by the tyre
manufacturer. Maximal 300 kPa / 3,0 bar / 43 PSI
Preferably start your work at the bottom of the
slope and proceed to the top. This way you will
usually be moving from less to more steep slopes,
which will give you a better chance to evaluate the
climbing ability and make the right decisions
concerning further work. If you begin to mow
steeper slopes first, it may happen that – due to
adverse conditions - the mower will slip on the
slope. Due to dynamic effects the mower may even
roll over.
If the mower is slipping, do not try to stop it and do
not approach it, especially the area below or
directly above the mower.
Do not touch or approach the mower if the wheels
are lifted, the mower tilted, in an unstable position
or starting to roll over. The method of cutting
from the top of the hill to the bottom should
only be used exceptionally when the operator
is in detail acquainted with the terrain.
Before operating on slopes, make sure that no
one is below the mower or the working area.
Do not endanger third persons by the
movement of the mower.
Choose your operating position away from the
area to which the mower may slide or to which
the mowed grass may be thrown. The
direction of the discharged grass may change
while operating according to the driving
direction of the mower.
When working on slopes and when driving in
an unknown terrain, make sure that the foldout bumpers are locked in a horizontal
position. The fold-out bumpers increase the
mower resistance against rolling over. For
correct functioning the bumpers must be
undamaged and properly locked
When working on slopes, avoid the
following:
• Sudden sharp acceleration, steering or
braking
• High driving speed
• Uneven ground
• Changing adhesion (moving from areas
exposed to sun to shade)
• Driving over the mowed material
• Reduction of engine speed
• Stopping on a slope and shutting off the
engine.
10.13 STOPPING THE MACHINE ON
A SLOPE
In case you are forced to stop the mower on a
slope and need to interrupt you work, stop the
engine etc. be sure to position the wheels
across the slope. This will prevent possible
movement of the mower down the slope.

10.14 PIVOT SUPPORT FOR ILD01
Spider ILD01 cannot rotate around its vertical axis as Spider ILD02 with its skid steering, therefore it can be
equipped with an additional supporting leg. The Supporting leg is mounted on the bumper on the side of the
hydraulic tank and filling neck of the hydraulic tank. At a maximum cutting height and correct steering position it
is possible by pushing down the lever to lift two wheels up in the air and with help of driving to turn the machine
around its pivot support.
Principles of using support leg:
- Cutting height must be set to maximum
- Direction of wheels must be correct (along hydraulic tank -see figure above)
- Push down the lever of the support leg to lift two wheels in the air
- Rotation starts by using joystick for driving forward/backward

11.4 CLEANING THE FUEL TANK
While using the mower impurities may settle in
the fuel tank. These impurities may cause a
blockage while using the mower.
The fuel tank may only be emptied by siphoning
the gasoline from the tank, especially if it is full.
The filter hose from the fuel tank leads under the
upper part of the body to the filter. Blocking may
be identified by poor engine performance and by
vacuum being created in the tank.
When working with gasoline do not
smoke or work near open flames.
11.5 MAINTAINING THE HYDRAULIC
DRIVE
The maintenance of the hydraulic drive requires
properly trained service personnel.
Regular maintenance should address the torque
of hydraulic connections and bolts, replacement
of pressure hoses and oil refilling.
The maintenance of the hydraulic parts
must be carried out in a very clean
working area. Any contamination
brought into the hydraulic circuit may
cause damage. If replacing any part, remove all
contamination by rinsing it with cleaning fluid.
The hydraulic drive must never work
without or with an insufficient amount
of oil, not even for a short time
11.6 CHECKING AND REFILLING OIL
Check the oil level in the hydraulic oil tank daily.
Measure the oil level with the dipstick in the cap of
the tank. The oil level must be between the limit
marks. If you are working in extreme conditions,
the level of oil (at ambient temperature) must
reach the upper limit mark on the dipstick.
When checking the oil, the engine must be off and
the oil cold.
If you are checking warm or hot oil, the level of oil
may be higher (and reach above the limit mark)
due to the oil volume expansion.
Do not overfill the hydraulic
tank!!!
11.7 ADJUSTMENT OF THE NEUTRAL POSTION OF THE HYDRAULIC DRIVE
Manual adjustment should only be performed by an authorised service/dealer.

service/dealer.
Remove the cover of the final gear drive. The cover is
attached by bolts onto the sides. Adjust the chain
tensioner C so the chain is properly tensioned. The
tensioner can be shifted after loosening the fastening
screws (see the figure). To tighten the chain, slightly
unscrew the thrust bolt.
Do not tension the chain excessively. This could
reduce the durability of the chain and the bearing.
Lubricate the chain by spraying it with lubricating oil.
11.11 MAINTAINING ELECTRIC CIRCUITS AND DEVICES, TRANSMITTER
Keep all parts of electric circuits clean, especially from oil products, dust sediments and dry grass.
Replace conductors with damaged insulation. For replacement, use only original conductors supplied by the
manufacturer.
Repairing of electric circuit should only be
performed by an approved dealer.
11.12 ADJUSTING BLADE DECELERATION
The electromagnetic clutch is placed under the clutch
cover above the rotary blades. The clutch was adjusted
by the manufacturer. When engaged the clutch
transmits power onto the blade, when disengaged the
brake stops the rotating blade. Do not change the clutch
setting. If damage on this part of the machine should
occur, always leave the repairing to an approved dealer.
The maximum rundown time of the rotary blade was set
to 5 seconds.
After finishing any work on the electromagnetic clutch, the cover must be returned
to its original place and properly sealed to
prevent the clutch from getting dirty.

To tighten the blade, use a torque wrench and a
specified tightening torque of 60 Nm.
If the blade is damaged, it is prohibited to:
Straighten them
Heat them
Weld them
Ream them or otherwise change their
construction.
When replacing worn-out parts follow these rules:
The blade may only be sharpened within the
permitted wear limit. Balancing must be carried
out after sharpening.
The blade cannot be repaired.
When changing the blade, use new fastening
bolts if the current ones show signs of damage.
Only high-tensile steel bolts may be used for this
purpose. No other steel bolts are acceptable.
If the mowing mechanism vibrates when
engaged, do not continue operating the mower,
turn it off and contact your local dealer.
To tighten bolts, use torque listed in the chart at
the end of this chapter (see 11.21).
Changing the mowing blade
Raise the mowing device to the transport
position.
Stop the engine, switch off the RC and push the
emergency button on the body of the mower.
Disconnect the spark plug and battery.

hydraulic tank side to prevent oil entering the air
cleaner.
Secure the lifted side against falling by
supporting it.
Use gloves when changing the blades.
Loosen the fastening bolts. Remove the bolts
and the washers. Be careful when removing the
last bolt, the blade may fall to the ground.
After the blade is replaced, fasten it by working
in the reversed order.
Always check the bolts when fastening the
blade.
After attaching the blades, check their
tightness. Be very careful when engaging the
mowing mechanism for the first time after
replacement. Check for unknown sounds,
vibrations etc.

11.25 BATTERY MAINTENANCE
The battery should be examined for cleanliness at regular intervals.
Read the Safety page.
Keep cell terminals and connectors free of dust and corrosion. Terminal corrosion may affect the performance
of the battery and could present a safety hazard. Should corrosion be observed, disconnect the battery, unbolt
and remove the connectors, and remove the corrosion by brushing the terminals and connectors with a dilute
solution of baking soda and water (sodium bicarbonate). Reapply an anti-oxidizing grease before reconnecting
and bolting the connectors. Always maintain proper records.
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES REMOVE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES AND NEVER ADD
WATER.
How to store yur battery.
To ensure our batteries safely reach their maximum shelf life, the average annual storage temperature should
be 15°C. The short-term storage temperature must not exceed 25°C or battery life may be affected.
Remove the battery from the vehicle.
Find a cool, dry place to keep your battery.
Make sure the battery is fully charged and recharge it approximately every two months.
Clean any terminal corrosion may that affect the performance of the battery and could present a safety hazard.
Remove the corrosion by brushing the terminals and connectors with a dilute solution of baking soda and water
(sodium bicarbonate). Reapply an anti-oxidizing grease before reconnecting and bolting the connectors.
Test a battery
The best and easiest way to test a battery is using a voltmeter or multi meter to measure the voltage. Once you
know the exact voltage, use the table below to gauge the state of charge.
Battery Testing Chart with Status of Chart
Make sure the battery is charged
To ensure that the battery can supply its stated starting power, it first needs to be fully charged. The
recommended charging current is 10% of nominal capacity in amperes (e.g. a 4 Ah battery requires a 0.4A

13 MAINTENANCE AFTER SEASON
When the season is over or if the machine is not going to be used for longer than 1 month, it is advisable to
prepare it for storage.
If fuel stays in a tank longer than 1 month without moving, it may create sticky sediment that can unfavourably
affect the carburettor and the whole fuel system and cause engine malfunction.
• Thoroughly clean the whole machine, especially the mowing mechanism.
• Replace damaged or worn-out parts
• Check all bolted connections. Tighten all loose nuts and screws.
• Lubricate all mobile parts – the whole machine (according to the lubrication plan)
• Empty the fuel tank and let the engine run until it runs out of fuel.
• When emptying the fuel tank, work in an open area outside.
• Prepare the engine for storage (according to the user’s manual of the engine)
• Disconnect the ignition cable.
• Unscrew the spark plug and pour a little oil into the cylinder bore (about 1 cm/0,4 inch).
• Turn the engine by starting it shortly with the ignition key without spark plugs on.
• Screw the spark plug back hand tight. Do not connect the cable.
• Dismount the Accumulator and store it on the dry and warm place
• Keep the mower on the save and dry place. Use the permeable cover to save the mower against the
corrosion
