3 ASSEMBLY
3.1 Mechanical connection
Also refer to the machine’s instructions for use.
1. Lower the implement lift and slowly drive the
machine straight towards the cutting deck. Note
the alignment through the viewing grille in the
machine’s floor.
2. Raise the implement lift to the transport posi-
tion when the pins in the implement lift corre-
spond with the holes in the cutting deck.
3. Lower the implement lift so that the cutting
deck touches the ground without the pins leav-
ing the holes.
4. Raise the implement lift so that the cutting deck
is just off the ground.
5. See fig. 1. Install the locking pins. The left lock-
ing pin is described below. The right locking pin
is installed in the same way, but mirror imaged.
• Insert the locking pin from the outside.
• Press the locking pin down over the lifting
beam.
6. Connect the cable for electric cutting height ad-
justment in the machine’s front right socket. See
fig. 2.
3.2 Installing the belt
The deck must be suspended on the machine be-
fore the belt is installed.
1. Set the deck in the transport position. Refer to
the machine’s instructions for use.
2. Set the maximum cutting height. Refer to the
machine’s instructions for use.
3. Place the belt around the machine’s belt pulley
at the pivot point.
4. Tension the belt with the belt tensioner. See fig.
3.
3.3 Lowering speed
Set the deck’s speed for lowering from the trans-
port position to the working position. Refer to the
machine’s instructions for use.
3.4 Tyre pressure
Adjust the tyre pressures according to the ma-
chine’s instructions for use.
4 DISMANTLING
Remove the deck from the machine in reverse or-
der according to installation above.
5 USING THE MACHINE
Check that the grass that is to be cut is
completely free of foreign objects such
as stones etc.
5.1 Cutting height
The best cutting results are achieved when the
when the top third of the grass is cut off. I.e. 2/3 of
the length of the grass remains. See fig. 4.
If the grass is long and has to be cut significantly,
cut twice using different cutting heights.
Do not use the lowest cutting heights if the lawn
surface is uneven. This would entail a risk of the
blades being damaged against the surface and the
lawn’s top layer of soil being removed.
5.2 Incline
In order for the cutting deck to cut optimally, the
correct incline is required. The cutting deck’s rear
section can be adjusted so that the deck has a great-
er forward incline than that provided by the basic
setting. This incline affects the cutting results as
follows.
5.2.1 Basic setting
The deck is in the basic setting when its rear edge
is 5 mm above its front edge. This means that the
deck is inclined forwards.
The deck is default set upon delivery.
When the deck is in the basic setting, the best
“Multiclip” effect and good dispersion of the cut
grass are achieved. The basic setting is recom-
mended for normal grass.
5.2.2 Greater inclination
When the cutting deck is inclined forwards, the
“Multiclip” effect is reduced while the cut grass is
dispersed better and the capacity is increased.
Greater forward inclination is recommended for
thicker grass.
Greater forward inclination is achieved by lifting
the deck at the rear edge and installing the locking
pins (5:A) in the lower holes.
5.3 Composting/rear ejection
The deck can cut grass in two ways:
• Compost the grass into the lawn.
• Eject the grass behind the deck.
The deck is set for composting on delivery. In or-
der to eject the grass behind the deck, the plug in
fig. 6 must be removed.
Set the deck in cleaning or service position (see
6.2/6.3) in order to remove/install the plug.
