Chains:
Adjustment: Loosen chain adjuster locking bolt (14) and slide the chain adjuster in the desired
direction. A chain should ever be adjusted tightly. It is advisable to leave the cutter chain with a
little slackness so that slight adjustment of the cutter can be made without having to re-adjust this
chain each time.
Grass Deflector:
The grass deflector is adjustable to permit grass to be thrown into the box at the desired angle.
Adjustment: Loosen clamping screws and raise or lower as required.
V Belt Drive:
The V Belt tension is correct when there is about ½” up and down movement of the belt midway
between the pulleys.
Adjustment: To tighten belt, remove motor cover, loosen four nuts holding down the motor, and
force the motor to rear. Then re-tighten nuts.
Note: V Belts are designed to run dry, and under no condition is belt dressing required.
Lubrication:
Pre-lubricated, sealed ball races
are fitted to the cutter; drum shaft,
countershaft and front roller. No
further lubrication is necessary to
theses 8 races. Drums are fitted
with special self-lubricating
bushes and do not require
lubrication.
Driving Chains: grease or
medium oil used sparingly
Gearbox: use medium oil at
points B, C and D. Use grease
sparingly on gear teeth
Front Roller Scraper:
Loosen clamp bolt each end, adjust scraper to just clear the roller and re-tighten clamps.
Cleaning:
This mower is constructed of first class materials, and will give longer and more efficient service if
kept clean. After cutting and before putting machine away, wipe blade down with an oily rag.
Occasionally check nuts and bolts for tightness.
Warning: State Electricity Authority regulations provide that it is always necessary to disconnect
power supply before effecting and adjustments to the machine.
