ADJUSTMENT OF CUTTING HEIGHT
This adjustment must be carried out when the engine is not running. For this purpose disengage the two skids from the blade-holder (16), loosen screws (17), and then
either lmove the skids (16) above or below the blade (15) into the desired position. Finally tighten the whole unit with the respective screws.
ADJUSTMENT: This has to be carried out when the distance of the teeth
between the blade and the counter blade are not too for away from one
another. This operation should be carried out, when the blade unit is disas-
sembled and
by clamping it in a vice. However it is also possible to make the adjustment
with the machine assembled, In this case the blade must be disengaged.For
checking move the blade by hand make sure that the wear-plates are not
excessively tightened.
To adjust the wear plates (T), individually. Turn screw (U) slightly. At each
adjustment of a wear-plate, the blade should be moved by hand for checking
that it can be moved without effort. The correct adjustment is obtained when
there is only the minimum possible distance between blade and counterblade
(0.2 mm).
SHARPENING has to be carried out when the mower blade does not cut perfectly. For
this purpose, the blade must be sharpened bu an authrosied dealer.
When using the machine, it is suitable to grease the seat where the eccentric piece runs
at least one time every hour, and keep the blade clean and to lubricate the guides and
to oil the sliding surface between blade and counterblade.We recommend the blade to
be cleaned carefully when not used for long periods of time.
