Checking the blade

Danger!
Improperly mounted and
maintained blades pose a severe
injury hazard.
Work at the blade shall only be
performed by an authorised
service centre.
Work on the blade requires special
qualifications because an unbalance test is
required and the torques must be observed.
Check the blade and slip clutch regularly
before and after each mowing and when
there are significant changes.
Vibrations indicate that the blade is worn
excessively or on one side.
Improperly sharpened blades increase the
device load and result in fatigue cracks and
breakage!
Ejected pieces can cause severe injuries.
Checking the blade
It is absolutely necessary to change the
blade:

When one of the wear markings (1) was
reached. Original blade are engraved
with wear markings (marking in form of a
ball-shaped imprint on the rear side of the
blade).

When the thickness of the blade at the
rear edge of the vane (2) or at another
point is below 1 mm (exception: cutting
edge).

At the least once per year or every
50 operating hours, whether there is wear
or not. The material deteriorates, may
show cracks and this can endanger
persons and material goods.
An original AS blade can be recognised by
these imprints:
XXXX corresponds to the
spare part number.
Checking the engine brake
Check the function of the engine brake by
switching off the engine. The blade must
come to a standstill from full speed within
less than 3 seconds. Contact an authorised
service centre if this is not the case.
