should always overlap by a few centi-
metres.
• On slopes, always work across the
slope.
• For the first cut of the season, choose
a high the cut height and reduce the
height to around 20 mm for the subse-
quent cuts.
Cleaning and Mainte-
nance
Have work that is not described
in these instructions carried out
by one of our authorised cus-
tomer service centres. Use only
original components.
Wear gloves when dealing with the
blades.
• Check covers and safety devices for
damage and check that these are sitting
correctly. Replace if necessary.
Cleaning
Neither hose down nor use running
water to clean the mower.
• Always keep the machine clean. For
cleaning, use a brush or cloth, but no
cleaning agents or solvents.
• After mowing, remove any plant re-
mains stuck to the wheels and the
blade area.
• Rub the blades with an oil rag or
spray them with a metal maintenance
spray.
• Due to the special cutting geometry,
the blade cylinder blades cannot be
re-sharpened. If necessary, the blade
cylinder and sub-blade must therefore
be replaced as a set. Have a special-
ist workshop carry out the installation
of the blade cylinder.
Adjust the Cutting Clearance
The blade cylinder blades must be ad-
justed if the grass is no longer being cut
evenly and cleanly.
1. Remove the machine key (3) and
metal strips (feeler gauge) (4) from
the machine holder (cf. 5).
2. Push the metal strip (4) between
a blade cylinder (8) blade and the
sub-blade (11).
3. Turn the hex bolts (10) to the
right then to the left on the ma-
chine, in small steps in the clock-
wise direction until the metal strip
sticks slightly.
4. Check the setting by turning the
blade cylinder. None of the blade
cylinder blades should be in
contact and grinding on the sub-
blade.
5. Return the machine key (3) and
the metal strip (feeler gauge) (4)
to the tool holder (cf. 5).
If it is no longer possible to adjust
the cutting clearance, the blade
cylinder and sub-blade must be re-
placed as a set.
Storage
• Keep the machine dry and out of
reach of children.
For space-saving storage, loosen
the wing nuts and fold the handle
bar together.
