[. . . ] replace worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets to preserve balance. On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating one blade can cause other blades to rotate. Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect. Before attempting to start the engine, disengage all blade attachment clutches and shift into neutral. [. . . ] â· Adjust gauge wheels with tractor on a flat level surface. With mower in desired height of cut position, gauge wheels should be assembled so they are slightly off the ground. Throttle control The throttle control regulates the engine revs and thus the rotation speed of the blades. = Full speed = Idling speed Motion control lever There are four different positions for this lever: N = Neutral (no drive) S = Slow F = Fast R = Reverse The lever can be moved steplessly between S and F to ensure the required speed. Quick lifting/lowering of the cutting unit Pull the lever backwards to quickly lift the cutting unit when passing over irregularities in the lawn, etc. During transportation the cutting unit shall be in the highest position. Ignition Lock There are three different positions for the ignition key: OFF All electric current broken. Never leave the key in the ignition lock when leaving the machine on its own. To release the parking brake all that is necessary is to push down the brake pedal. Free-wheel Control Lever To tow or move the tractor without the aid of the engine, the free- wheel control knob must be pulled out and locked in position with the needle spring. The wheel is easier to turn if the lever for lifting/lowering of the cutting unit is pulled backwards at the same time. Choke control When the engine is cold the choke should be pulled out before starting. When the engine has started and is running smoothly push the choke in. Do not smoke when filling with petrol or fill up when the engine is warm. Oil level The combined oil refilling cap and the oil stick is accessible when the bonnet is lifted forwards. SAE 5W-30 oil should be used during the winter (below freezing point). Starting of motor Make sure that the cutting unit is in the transport position (top position) and that the lever for connection/disconnection of the cutting unit is in the disconnection position. If the engine will not start, wait about 10 seconds before the next try. Let the ignition key return to the "ON" position when the engine has started and push in the choke control as soon as the engine is running smoothly. Move motion control lever to full forward position and hold for five (5) seconds. engage transmission by placing freewheel control in driving position. Drive tractor forward for approximately five feet then backwards for five feet. [. . . ] TRANSAXLE PUMP FLUID The transaxle was sealed at the factory and fluid maintenance is not required. Should the transaxle ever leak or require servicing, contact your nearest authorized service center/ department. Engine will not start Start motor will not turn engine Poor contact between cable and battery pole. Unbalance in one or both blades resulting from damage or poor balancing after sharpening. [. . . ]
