ADJUSTING CLUTCH CABLE
If the drive does not engage when the clutch loop
is pressed against the handle, or if the lawnmower
feels cumbersome or slow, this may be because the
clutch in the transmission is slipping. To rectify
this situation, adjust the clutch cable as follows:
1. When the clutch loop is released, it should be
possible to push the mower backwards without
any resistance. If this is not the case, screw in
the nipple T until the mower can be pushed (fig.
20).
2. When the clutch loop is
pressed in approx. 2 cm (position
1), there should be some
resistance when pushing the
lawnmower. With the clutch loop
fully pressed in (position 2) it
should not be possible to push
the mower. Unscrew the nipple T
until this position is achieved.
ADJUSTING VARIATOR CABLE
If the speed difference between the settings in the
variator control giving the fastest speed (position 3
and ) appears insignificant or nothing at all, the
variator cable might need tightening (fig. 16).
1. Run the mower for a few minutes in position
.
2. If the variator cable shows some play in nipple
Y it needs tightening. Undo the locking nut X
and tighten the cable by unscrewing the nipple
Y until the cable ceases to show any play.
3. Tighten the locking nut X.
NOTE! Do not stretch the cable beyond the point
where there is no play in the nipple Y. If the cable is
over-tightened, the drive belt could break and/or
other parts of the transmission be damaged. When
setting after e.g. belt change, always start with the
nippleY completely screwed in.
CHANGING BLADES
Use protective gloves when changing
blade to avoid cutting yourself.
Check the blade system regularly. Check
particularly the curved area behind the blade
edge for traces of wear. If the blade shows traces
of damage it should be replaced. A worn blade
creates imbalance and can damage the mower.
Always check the blade after an impact. First
disconnect the spark plug cable. If the blade
system has been damaged, defective parts should
be replaced. Always use genuine spare parts.
ENGLISH
To replace the blade, undo the screw (fig. 21). Fit
the new blade so that the stamped logo is turned up
facing the blade holder (not facing the grass).
Reinstall as illustrated. Tighten the screw properly.
Tightening torque: 40 Nm.
When replacing the blade, the blade screw should
also be replaced.
The guarantee does not cover damage to the blade,
blade holder or engine caused by running into
obstacles.
When replacing the blade, blade holder and blade
screw, always use genuine spare parts. Non-
genuine spare parts can entail a risk of injury or
damage, even if they fit the machine.
SHARPENING THE BLADES
Sharpening of the blades must be done by wet
method grinding, using a whetstone or a
grindstone.
For safety reasons, the blades should not be
sharpened on an emery wheel. A very high
temperature could cause the blades to become
brittle.
Once the blade has been sharpened, it
must then be balanced to avoid
vibration damage.
STORAGE

WINTER STORAGE

Empty the fuel tank. Start the engine and let it run
until it stops. The same petrol must not remain in
the tank for more than one month.
Tip up the mower and unscrew the spark plug.
Pour a tablespoon of engine oil into the spark plug
hole. Pull out the starter handle slowly so that the
oil is distributed in the cylinder. Screw in the spark
plug.
Thoroughly clean the mower and store it indoors in
a dry place.
SERVICING
Genuine spare parts are supplied by service
workshops and by many dealers.
