CUTTERBAR
WARNING - PREVENT ACCIDENTS: Never work on the cutterbar unless the spark
plug lead has been removed. The cutterbar has sharp edges. ALWAYS wear strong
gloves to protect your hands when working on the cutterbar. DO NOT rotate tools
towards the cutting edges to avoid the risk of injury should the tool slip. ALWAYS use
genuine Hayter replacement parts.
The condition of the cutterbar and its mounting arrangement should be checked regu-
larly for signs of wear or damage. Ensure that the cutterbar is not bent or cracked.
A damaged cutterbar that is out of balance will vibrate excessively and may break. DO
NOT use an unbalanced cutterbar.
Regularly check that the bolt securing the cutterbar is tightened to the specified torque
of 54Nm (40 lbs ft).
Replace the cutterbar every 2 years or sooner if excessively worn or damaged.
How to remove the cutterbar: Drain the fuel by running
the engine until the fuel tank is empty and the engine stops.
Remove the spark plug lead and allow the engine to cool.
Turn the mower on its left hand side and ensure that the air
cleaner side of the engine is uppermost.
CAUTION - PREVENT INJURY: It is wise to seek
assistance when turning the mower onto its side.
Firmly grip the end of the cutterbar with the gloved hand
and remove the 2 fixing screws (1) securing the cutterbar
(2).
How to assemble the cutterbar: Assemble the cutterbar (2)
with the turned up edges facing towards the engine. Secure
the cutterbar using two new fixing screws and tighten to
40Nm torque.
