MAINTENANCE
Checking and adjusting the cutting
unit’s ground pressure
To achieve the best cutting results the cutting unit
should follow the underlying surface without
pressing too hard against it.
The pressure is adjusted with a screw on each side
of the machine.
5. Adjust the unit’s ground pressure by screwing in
or out the adjusting screws located behind the
front wheels on both sides.
The ground pressure should be between
12 and 15 kg (26.5-33 lb).
1. Check the air pressure in the tyres 60 kPa
(0.6 kp/cm
2
/8.5 PSI).
2. Place the Rider on a flat surface.
3. Put the lifting lever in the mowing position.
4. Place a set of bathroom scales under the cutting
unit’s frame (front edge) so that it rests on the
scales. If necessary a block can be placed
between the frame and scales so that the
support wheels do not bear any weight.
