5.2 Reversing gear
Your new landscaping machine has a reversing gear to provide both forward and reverse motion.
The toothed wheel-planetary gear is equipped with two brake bands to enable forward or reverse travel
upon operation of gearshift lever 1.
To change travel direction, shift into the O-position and wait until the machine has come to a full stop
before shifting the machine into the opposite direction. This will considerably extend the life of the
brake bands!
Adjusting: The screws 5 marked in yellow, extending diagonally upward on the reversing gear serve for
adjusting the brake bands should the machine no longer accelerate properly.
The adjusting screw to the rear (in the travel direction of the landscaping machine) is for the forward
gear; the screw in front is for adjusting the reverse gear.
After loosening locknuts 6, adjust only so far that a slight end pressure is noticeable on the gearshift
lever when shifting.
Forward and reverse gear are to be adjusted individually.
Do not forget to tighten locknuts 6 after making adjustments!

Reversing gear oil change: First oil change after 30 hours of operation, then after each 100 hours.
Loosen oil drain plug 4, drain oil into a suitable container and dispose of properly.
Retighten the drain plug, refill with new SAE 30 motor oil up to oil level control screw 3.
Check oil level monthly and replenish as necessary.
5.3 Chain drive
After the first few hours of operation, chain tension will have slackened somewhat and the drive chain
will need to be re-tightened.
Never retighten the drive chain without first disengaging
! the drive and waiting for the engine to stop.
Remove the track guard, loosen the tensioning idler, and adjust to the correct chain tension. Be sure
to reaffix the protective covering after adjusting the chain!
