ELIMINATION OF BATTERIES

Batteries contain dangerous substances and may on no account

be disposed of in the environment. They are subject to very strict

rules regarding their disposal. For the disposal of batteries marked

ETESIA, we participate in the schemes in place in the countries

where the machine is sold.

CAUTION! A battery kept uncharged will not charge correctly later

on and will not be covered by the warranty.

9•4 TYRE MAINTENANCE

• Always ensure that the pressure in the tyres is as specified. Other

pressure values could have an adverse effect on driving. You could

even lose control of the mower.

- Front tyre pressure : 1,5 bar

- Back tyre pressure : 1,2 bar

If you use your mower equipped with a cabin and a front accessory,

the pressure of the tires fronts must be increased with 1,9 bar.

DISPOSAL OF USED PNEUMATICS

It is forbidden to leave standing, to lay down or to burn pneumatics in

nature. Our dealer network has been informed about its obligation to

take back, free of charge, all used pneumatics from ETESIA ride on

mowers.

9•5 MAINTENANCE OF CUTTING PARTS

(BLADE)

IMPORTANT! Before any work on the cutting device, turn the

engine off and remove the ignition key.

Use the circuit-breaker to turn off the electric supply. Close the hand

brake. Wear protective gloves.

9•5•1 CONDITION OF CUTTING PARTS (BLADE)

• Before each use, check the condition of the blades (any damage or

wear).

1: normal, 2: bent, 3: worn, 4: cracked (picture 35).

• If a blade is blunted or twisted, the quality of cut is bad. A damaged

blade can be very hazardous as a broken piece may be ejected from

the cutting device.

• Immediately change any damaged or worn blade (8•11•2 - 8•11•3).

• Change absolutely the blade after any shock.

• Some microcracks provoked by a shock can lead to the rupture of

the blade if it’s not replaced.

• Blunted blades which are not otherwise damaged may be sharpened.

Do not exceed the sharpening limit marked on the end of the blade.

• After sharpening, readjust the balance of the blade to avoid

vibrations.

• Also check if the coupling and the body of the cutting parts are in a

good condition.

•

If any major damage is found in the cutting device, take the machine

to your dealer for a closer examination of the entire system.

9•6 CLEANING

• We advise you against using a high-pressure cleaning device.

However, if you do use one, take care not to splash water on engine

parts such as the air filter, exhaust pipe, battery and electrical

components. Do not direct the spray towards the bearings (blade or

wheel bearings) or hydraulic components.

• We recommend running the engine and the other transmission

elements after cleaning to remove any water.

CLEANING THE CUTTING DEVICE

• After each use, clean the cutting deck carefully, particularly its

inside, with a water spray.

H124DN - H124DX

We recommend 2 cleaning methods:

1. Cleaning the cutting system with a jet of water, after removing

all the removable parts of the cutting system. See paragraph

8•11•2 for the disassembly of the parts.

• After cleaning and reassembling the removable parts of the

cutting system, it is advisable to restart the cutting system for a few

minutes.

2. Cleaning of collection system via the ejection channel. The inner

part of the cutting system can also be cleaned through the ejection

channel using jet of water.

• Clear access to the ejection channel by placing the collection bin in

the emptying position and at maximum height.

• Lock this position using the locking system designed for the purpose:

by a rotation movement, unclip the connecting rods from the lower

lifting arms and clip them onto the lifting actuators (picture 26).

• After cleaning and putting the collecting bin back in the mowing

position, it is advisable to start the cutting system and let it run for a

few minutes.

H124DL

• There are two ways in which you can clean your cutting deck :

1. Cleaning the cutting system using pipe connectors. The cutting

deck is equipped with an 1 inch thread on the right and left sides for

connecting two hoses for spraying (picture 36). Proceed as follows

to clean the deck :

• Connect the spray pipe to the cutting deck. You can also do this using

a Y connector so that both sides are connected at the same time.

• Open the tap.

• Sit on the seat, start the engine and activate the cutting system.

• The cutting system will be cleaned after about 3 minutes.

• After cleaning, operate the cutting system for a few minutes.
