Maintenance
Checking the Blades
It is important that the blades are undamaged and
well-ground to give the best mowing result.
The blades should be balanced after sharpening.
Damaged blades should be replaced when hitting
obstacles that result in a breakdown. Let the servicing
dealer judge whether the blade can be repaired/
ground or must be discarded.
Replacing the power take-off belts
Always replace the belts in pairs.
1. Remove the driver's seat.
2. Remove the protective cover above the hydraulic
pump's drive shaft.
3. Remove the ignition keys from the machine.
4. Release (1) the drive shaft from the hydraulic
pump and remove the spacer ring (2) from the
coupling.
WARNING:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
WARNING:
Sharpening blades
Protect your hands with gloves when working with
the blades. Risk of cutting.
Replacement or sharpening of the blades should be
carried out by an authorised service representative.
Balancing blades
If the blades are cracked, whether caused by poor
repair or other damage, they could break while being
used. Cracked and defective blades must always be
replaced. The risk increases if the blades are poorly
balanced.
