CHEMICALS To maximise the service life of a product/equipment, maintenance - and not least preventive maintenance - is important, and this is largely what greases and oils do. Carefully read the operating manuals for your new products or equipment to ensure correct maintenance and service life and that the warranty remains valid! Lubricating greases First aid measures.
WARNING DECALS Make sure warning decals are always visible and clean them when necessary. Do not use a high-pressure washer directly on the warning decal. If a part with a decal is replaced, or the decal becomes worn or in any other way unusable, order a new set of decals. SYMBOL EXPLANATION Read the operating manual! Before carrying out work.
BEFORE OPERATION: • Important! Check re-tightening of all bolts and nuts, especially bolts for clamp bushings and belt pulleys! IMPORTANT! Check mounting bolts for CLAMP BUSHINGS and BELT PULLEYS Check the pulley’s clamp bushings. Re-tighten the bolts at regular intervals. Tighten and check the belt tension if necessary.

Safety chain. Secure with R-pin. Stabiliser. Height can be adjusted in 3 positions Lock with pin. Counter blades. Using counter blades gives you better shredding of your cut grass, as the grass is retained in the mower. The counter blades help you to cut the grass shorter and more effectively, as the hammer flails have something to throw and cut the grass or straw against.

OPENABLE FLAP The mower has an openable flap. You open the flap when you know you are cutting or top- ping ground that generates a higher flow of material. This enables you to drive freely under the same conditions as with a closed flap and a normal flow of material. You save on fuel and reduce wear on the belts, and you can also operate at a higher speed, as the grass does not become twisted around the roller.
