Winter Storage - Long Stop - Etesia NECTS User Manual

IMPORTANT !
Regularly check the correct adjustment of the
drive clutch cable.
Checking and adjusting the tension:
L0 = length of the spring at rest
L1 = length of the spring when the corresponding control is
activated
The tension applied to the spring connecting the cable to the control
levers (value L1-L0) must be maintained, in gear and with the engine
off, at a value of between 4 and 5 mm.
Any adjustments that are needed can be made by moving the screw
thrust bearings on the tightening screws on the sheathing on the left-
hand sleeve of the handlebar.
• Loosen the lock-nuts, unscrew the thrust bearings by the necessary
value, then tighten the lock-nuts again and check.
While the control lever is not being used, the spring should not exert
any tension on the cable.
TRANSPORT
If the machine has to be raised or transported, turn off
the motor. Allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes before
loading the mower into a vehicle.
It is advisable to use a loading ramp or to have somebody help you
load and unload the mower.
• Carefully clean the machine and in particular the underneath of the
cutter housing.
• Store the mower in a clean, dry place, on planks or a sheet of metal.

QUICK HANDLE FOLDING (PICTURE 19)
To reduce the mower space requirement in order to make storage
easier, the handle has to be folded.
• Remove the grass collector.
• Loosen the middle fastening nuts on the handlebar as far as the
screw collar, and allow the upper part of the handlebar to fold
backwards.
• Loosen the lower mounting nuts on the handlebar, move the lower
parts of the handlebar outwards at their lower mounting points to
release the positioning lugs and to be able to raise them.
• Fold the lower parts of the handlebar forward on your lawnmower
and rest the upper part of the handlebar on top of them, taking care
not to damage the cables.
