Service Position For The Cutting Unit; Checking The Blades - Husqvarna Rider ProFlex 21 Operator's Manual

Service position for the cutting unit

The cutting unit can be set in a service position to
provide good access for cleaning, servicing and
repair. The service position means that the unit is
raised and locked in the vertical position.
Placing in the service position
1. Position the unit so it hangs over the outer
hooks by carrying out sections 1–11 under
"Removing the cutting unit".
2. Take hold of the front edge of the unit and lift it
vertically. The unit is automatically locked in the
vertical position.
Releasing from the service position
1. Loosen the top edge of the unit (move it
backwards), move the handle forwards and
slowly lower the unit to its horizontal position.
2. Slide the unit into its working position by
carrying out sections 4–8 under "Fitting the
cutting unit".

Checking the blades

To achieve the best mowing results it is important
that the blades are undamaged and well-
sharpened.
Check that the blades' attachment screws are tight,
(45–50 Nm, 33–44 lb.ft)
The friction washer and break-pin should also be
replaced when replacing the blades.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Replacing or sharpening the blades
should be conducted by an authorised
service workshop.
The blades should be balanced after sharpening.
Damaged blades should be replaced when hitting
obstacles that result in a breakdown. Let the
servicing dealer judge whether the blade can be
repaired/ground or must be discarded.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The Bioclip 103 unit should always have
the blades in the relative positions shown
in the diagram, with a 90° angle between
the blades. Otherwise the blades can go
against each other and cause serious
damage to the unit.
