INTRODUCTION TITLE This operating manual is an essential tool to ensure the proper and safe operation of the ES-36 Electric Cylinder Mower. This user manual contains important information regarding the safe, proper and efficient operation of the ES-36. Adherence to this manual will help to avoid risk, lower repair costs and reduce downtimes while simultaneously increasing the service life of the ES-36 itself. The operating manual must always be available, and every person tasked with working on or with the ES-36 must read and follow the instructions. In the case of any difficulty, or if further information or advice is required, our Service Department is always at your call. In the interests of speed and accuracy of information please quote the serial numbers of the machine when making enquiries. For the machine, this is to be found on a plate attached to the side of the chassis. We suggest you write the numbers on the front page of this book. MACHINE DESCRIPTION A rotary cutting machine manufactured with 36” (91.4cm) cutting width this machine is run by a pair of 48V high efficiency brushless permanent magnet AC motors powered from an 111 Ah lithium ion battery. The rear roller and cutter are controlled independently via belt drives operated from the display screen on the upper handle bar. A mechanical parking brake is fitted for added safety when working around uneven ground, when applied this disengages drive to both motors for added safety. In the design of the machine, special attention has been given to the importance of easy service and maintenance with the construction based on a sectional assembly system. These are the Electrical Drive system, the Rear Roller Unit and the Front Roller Unit, each of which can be readily removed individually from the main Frame Chassis Unit.

13. CUT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT SETTING FOR HEIGHT OF CUT Always turn the machine off before adjusting the height of cut. Failure to do this may result in serious injury. The length of grass after cutting depends on the setting of the front roller in relation to the main frame of the machine. To set: ● Slacken the clamp nuts on the front roller quadrants (see image opposite) [19mm spanner] - Item 1 ● Rotate the quadrants using the toothed gear [19mm ITEM 1 spanner], raising and lowering the machine. As a ITEM 2 guide, there are notches in the quadrant and holes in the side plate. Align these on both sides to level the machine. - Item 2 To check the height of cut and that the machine is level, the setting bar can be used (228090). Place the bar between the front and rear rollers, resting the underside of the bolt head on the lip of the shear blade.

Check cables are not split or damaged and plug connections are all fitted correctly. Damaged cables should be replaced before the machine is next operated. NEVER USE A MOWER WITH A DAMAGED BATTERY OR ELECTRICAL BOX. IF IN ANY DOUBT CONTACT YOUR DEALER OR DENNIS DIRECT. NEVER ATTEMPT ANY ELECTRICAL WORK. ANY ATTEMPT WILL VOID THE WARRANTY! BLADES Worn or damaged blades can be dangerous resulting in serious injury or death of the operator or bystanders. Replace worn or damaged blades.
16. STORAGE The machine should always be kept in a clean dry place, free from condensation. After use ensure that the machine is thoroughly clean, dry and free from grass and mud. Before off season storage smear a thin layer of grease on to the cutter blades and the shear blade. Under no circumstances must the machine be steam cleaned as this may remove grease from the pre packed bearings and damage electrical components. If stored for more than a month disconnect battery connector located under the battery cover. SP20059_REV0.3...
