DESIGN AND FUNCTION
Mower Deck
The blades are driven by a V-belt from the
engine crankshaft (1). The crankshaft has an
electromagnetic clutch. This locks the deck
pulley to the shaft when current is applied to
the clutch (i.e. when the appropriate control
panel switch is operated).
The belt is automatically adjusted by a spring
(2) operating on the pulley (3) attached to the
top of the mower deck casing. Via vertical
shafts, three other pulleys (4,5,7) each drive a
separate blade. Two idler pulleys (6,8) serve
as belt guides. The outermost pulleys are
shielded by removable guards attached to the
top of the mower deck casing. The operator’s
floor plate acts as a guard preventing contact
with the belt and the other pulleys.
The blades do not require shear pins. Impact protection is provided by the blades skating on their shafts if
they hit an immoveable object.
The discharge chute is on the right side of the mower deck. It is spring-loaded and can be raised.
For mulching, a BioClip kit is available as an accessory. The kit comprises guide plates and BioClip blades.
It is fitted to the underside of the mower deck.
The mower deck is suspended to the bottom of the mower via two backward inclined struts and four
adjustable chains.
Six anti-scalp rollers on the underside of the mower deck prevent the casing catching on the ground.
Cutting height is set by a lever on the right of the operator. Inserting a pin through the holes in the deck
height adjustment plates sets a limit to the downward movement of the lever.
WARNING!
The engine must not be started if the operator’s floor plate or any of the guards for
the mower deck’s belt is/are not securely in position.
