Operation - OREC HR531 Instruction Manual

Check the tightening of bolts, refering to the tightening torque chart
The safety is one of our main worries when designing and manufacturing this machine. Negligence
in the use of the machine spoils our efforts. The prevention strictly depends on the care and on the
skill of the user when applying and maintaining the machine. The best safety method remains a
careful and skilled user ; we hope you to be this kind of user.
The user of this machine is responsible for its safe use. He must be a skilled user specially trained for
the use of this machine. Read the safety instructions. This machine has been designed to mow grass.
It is not designed for any other operation. It is not designed to transport other tools or materials that
might damage it and cause injuries to the user. It must not be used to carry persons.
Never use the machine without having priorly carried out all the maintenance operations as
described in the daily maintenance chapter.
Never let children or unskilled persons use the machine. Check that nobody or no object stands
near the machine when at work. They could be hit by the moving parts.Nobody must stand on
the machine except the driver. Never put your hands under moving parts.

TARTING OF THE ENGINE
Turn the fuel cock to "ON".

Check that cutting blade is disengaged, and Driving lever range is in neutral position « N ».

Push choke lever if engine is cold or push throttle lever half of his stroke if the engine is hot.

Pull the starter rope.

When the engine has started, pull back the choke lever.

Select a speed ratio and travel to the mowing path.

MOWING
Start the engine

Adjust the height of cut as needed.

Do not forget that it is better to mow grass regularly. Remember that the machine gets
deteriorated rapidly in the hot and dry weather. When cutting height is low, the blade may hit
the ground and get damaged. The user and bystanders are likely to get injured by the thrown
objects. The thrown objects may cause damage to
properties. Working in slopes is very dangerous.
Never work in slopes more than 15°.
Increase engine speed to the maximum.

Push down the blade clutch lever (2, Figure 7) then

engage the blade tension lever (3, Figure 7) slowly.
Then go forward in the grass to mow.

The best cutting speed depends of quantity and the

density of the grass. Usually, it is asked to mow
between 1st and 2nd speed. Tall grass should be cut
slowly and short grass can be cut faster.
