Assembly of storage bin – Fig.2

For the transport of the machine, the storage bin is partially
disassembled. To assemble, we recommend the following
procedure:

1. The assembly of the storage bin is performed according to

Fig. 2 and the list of parts of the grass storage bin.

2. Place the paper from the package of the cutting machine on

the table or the ground.

3. Place the cap of the storage bin pos. 1 on the paper. Spread

the fabric for the easy assembly of bolts.

4. Screw the curtain to the cap pos.6. Push the curtain to the

cap to the stop.

5. Screw parts. pos. 5,4,2, so that the free ends pos. 5,4,2, are

approximately in the area. For pos. 4 and 2 the holes are in
one axis.

6. Place the frame of the bottom pos.3 with the feet to the free

ends of positions 5,4,2,. Then screw.

7. Lift the fabric and insert the locks of the fabric into pos. 2

and 3.

8. Before the placement of the bin on the self-moving rotary

cutter we recommend to set the guiding “V” (obr.2a) into
the position approximately perpendicular to the ground
(with the switch for lifting the storage bin).

9. Place the storage bin on the guiding according to Fig.2 and

check the tightening of the fabric and the placement of the
storage bin in the closed position!

User manual W3532

Due to the transport, the self-moving rotary cutter is delivered

without motor oil and fuel. Before the activation of the
engine it is necessary to fill up the engine box with oil, and

it is necessary to comply with the regulations of the Service
Manual for the engine. Measure the level of the engine oil
when the engine is disconnected which must be between the
MIN and MAX lines of measuring bar “T” Fig.5. Using the
filler, fill up the tank with fuel and take care not to over-fill the
fuel. The tank holds approximately 9 litres The type of fuel
and oil which are to be used are stated in the service manuals
for the engine.

Inflation of tyres

The correct inflation of the tyres is the basic precondition for
levelling the cutting mechanism and for the achievement for
proportionally cutting the lawn.

Before inflation it is necessary to remove the cover and
connect to the valves the pressure air pump equipped with the
pressure gauge. Due to the use of tube-free tyres, a manual air
pump is not recommended for the inflation of tyres.

Inflation of front wheels 1.4 bar
Inflation of rear wheels 1 bar

spaces between the cap and the switch must be cleaned from
cut grass during the work, if necessary> In the case of filling
this space with grass it is not possible to run the engine when
the bag is attached.

Checking the blades

Check that the blades are well sharpened and whether the
respective hubs are reliably fixed. Incorrectly sharpened

blades can upland the grass and cause yellowing of the
lawn.

4.3 Commissioning

Parking brake

Braking with the parking brake is performed by pressing the
foot brake pedal, the relocation of the “P” lever in Fig.6
backwards in the direction of the arrow, releasing the brake
pedal and releasing the lever. The foot pedal remains in the
lower position. The release of the brake is performed by
pressing the brake pedal which causes the automatic release of
the braking brake and the lever “P”.

Grass bag

Place the tank on the guiding according to Fig. 2a and check
the tightening of the fabric and the placement of the bag.

Rear axle – Fig.5b

The axle is filled with 0.8 L of PP90 oil.

Filling hole -1
Discharging hole -2
Check hole -3

Note: In the case of the correct height of the level, the oil will
start to discharge from the stable axle from the open check
hole.

Important!

The bag or the cover against the stones controls the switch
which blocks the switching of the electromagnetic clutch for
the driving of the cutting mechanism. In the case that the bag
or the cover against stones is not connected, it is not possible
to disconnect the cutting mechanism. It is forbidden to
disconnect this mechanism or restrict its efficiency. The

Disconnection of the travel drive

If it is necessary to manually move the self-moving rotary
cutter without the engine started, it is necessary to release belt
“V” according to Fig.7. When the hydro-drive is disconnected
it is forbidden to activate the engine! Therefore, after
relocation, immediately tighten the bolt again.

Adjustment of the seat

The adjustment of the seat is performed by means of lever

“S” according to Fig.7a.

Activation

Important!

It is permitted to run the engine in the open air or a well
ventilated room. Remember that exhaust gases from the
engine are toxic.

Before the activation of the engine it is necessary to perform
the following operation:

1. Brake pedal – press into the braked position.

2. Switch for activation of blade drives – position OFF.

3. Choke rod – draw up outward = position START

Gas lever – in position MIN.

4. During starting, take care to correctly insert the

key to prevent its breaking! Insert the key into the

ignition box (Fig.8) and turn it into position “1” (the
current circuit is activated)

5. Turn the key into the START position for starting

the engine. After activation release the key. Insert the
control lever of the choke into the initial position.

In the case of activation with a warm engine it is not
necessary to use the choke (START position).

Fig.8

Description of Fig. 8.

“0” OFF
“1” Lighting, running of engine
“2” Running the engine, without lighting
“3” Start engine

Note

If during the starting of the engine there are any problems,
do not start the engine because there could be discharging
of the accumulator and overheating of the engine. Return
the ignition key to the position “0”, wait several seconds
and then repeat the procedure. If it is not possible to start,
read the instructions in the User Manual for using the
engine.

Important!

If the accumulator is discharged do not use cables for

starting, this could destroy the electrical installation!

Disconnect the accumulator from the electrical installation
of the cutter and charge it with the charging device.

After the termination of work it is necessary to regularly
check the level of electrolyte and the status of charging of
the accumulator, minimally 1 x in a month. If necessary
charge the accumulator, otherwise there is the risk of
damage. We recommend removing the accumulator from
the machine and placing it on a dry, hot place.

It is necessary to make sure that the security measure does
not prevent the starting of the engine, such as:

- the machine is not braked

- the drive of the cutting mechanism is ON

Travel (Fig.3b, pos.3)

The travel of the machine is controlled by the travel pedal
which is located on the right side of the platform. The fluency
of the driving is controlled by the fluent control of pedal.
