  • Page 14: Engaging Drive To The Cutting Blades

    Tips: When collecting debris for the optimum performance set the height of cut just above the grass height. For best results adjust the height of cut on a flat level surface. Because of the high vacuum effect created by the blades it may be necessary to set the height of cut to be greater than normal then gradually reduce to meet the desired cut height.

  • Page 15: Park Brake

    Clean the exterior of the machine thoroughly using a soft brush and cloth. Remove all debris, especially from the air filter and engine fins. If the mower should happen to fail despite the care taken in manufacture and testing, repair should be carried out by an authorised Allett dealer.

    If the blades turn before the clutch drive lever is operated, move the adjuster UP towards the handle bar. Making sure the screw head is with ✓ in the ‘brake zone’ This mower is fitted with a blade brake clutch. When the blade clutch lever is disengaged the brake device ensures that the blades rapidly come to a stop.

  • Page 19: General Engine Maintenance

    7.8 Checking blade condition The cutting performance of the Uplift86 is highly dependent on the condition of the blades. Poorly maintained parts will lead to a poor quality of cut. Cutting regularly in sandy conditions will accelerate blade wear, so blade condition should be checked more frequently.

  • Page 28: Vibration Reduction

    Best practices for reducing noise emission: Forcing the mower to cut longer grass than intended or setting it to work at great depths may cause higher levels of noise emission. Fitting non-standard Allett blades may increase noise emission too. Damaged exhausts or loose guards can increase noise emissions. Therefore, before use inspect the exhaust system for signs of wear and ensure the guards are securely attached and in good condition.
