Never leave the engine running at the maximum engine speed for a long time or running idle while the
clutch of the cutting blade drive and wheel drive are turned off! The machine drive parts could be damaged
(V-belt, belt pulley, clutch pulley, etc.)!
3.4.3 Work with the machine
3.4.3.1 Cutting width
Always adjust the cutting width to the stand density!
It is not recommended to use the maximum cutting width (
Table 4
) given by the disc construction. In a terrain, the user cannot operate
the cutter straight, and precisely enough to cut the brushes in complete cutting width. We recommend to use the cutter partially
(approximately 5-10 cm from the edge of the front cover) in the cut stand (as shown in
Pict.5
from the user’s point of view).
3.4.3.2 Methods of stand cutting
Remove any solid parts form the stand before cutting (such as stones, wires, loose construction leftovers, etc.),
as these could be thrown away or damage the machine. If these cannot be removed, avoid them.
It is necessary to keep the lower disc sliding across the land without bouncing off when cutting in uneven terrain. Disc bouncing causes
low quality stand cutting and uneven stubble.
Let the engine and cutting disc spin in their maximum rpm, and start moving against the stand you wish to cut. The cutting disc throws
cut stand onto the right side, where it is windrowed by the side screen.
➢ Always keep the cut brush on the left side form the machine when cutting (
Pict.5
).
➢ When cutting on slopes it is best to move along the slope contour line. Keep the safe climbing ability (
Table 4
)!
In case the cut stand is too dense, inter grown, rotten, or flattened, it is necessary to adjust the machine cutting width, so that the
cutting disc rpm would not be too low, and thus causing low cutting quality.
3.4.3.2.1 Cutting problems
Be especially careful when lifting and reversing the machine!
Always turn the engine off when cleaning the space under the top cover!
Always tip the machine backwards on its handlebars only. Always be especially careful when moving in the space
under a lifted machine. Secure the cutter from spontaneous movement!
Always be especially careful when cleaning the space under the top cover. The cutting blades are sharp. Use work
gloves, or other convenient objects, e.g. a piece of branch, for cleaning the machine.
Before continuing any activity on the machine or its surroundings, always wait until the cutting disc stops.
1. The cutting disc and the engine rpm are both slowing down, but the engine does not stall.
➢ Stop the machine immediately, reverse slightly while lifting the front of the machine a bit (by pressing the handlebars
down). The space under the top cover partially cleans itself from extensive amounts of grass mass. Start moving against
the stand again.
2. Cutting disk stopped spinning, the engine staled.
➢ Release both handlebars levers and lift the cutter by pressing the handlebars. Move the cutter slightly backwards. Clean
the space under the top cover, and spread the cut grass across the surface. Start the engine, turn the cutting disc drive
on, and start moving against the stand again.
3. The cut brushes keeps catching on the side screen (because the stand is too thick).
➢ Stop the cutter and turn the engine off. Dismount the side screen and put it in a safe place, out of the cut area, so that it
cannot be stolen.
3.5 Maintenance, servicing and storage
The weight of the cutter requires two persons for carrying out its maintenance and adjustment.
In order to be happy with our product in the long-term, it is necessary to give it adequate maintenance and servicing care. Regular
maintenance reduces deterioration and ensures proper functioning.
Follow all instructions concerning maintenance and adjustment schedule. It is recommended that you keep a record of the amount of its
working time and conditions (for service needs). It is recommended to let one of our authorised service centres take care of the after-
season maintenance, as well as regular maintenance if you are not sure about your technical skills.
Check the nuts tightening the upper disc blades and nuts tightening the lower disc to the flange before each
cutter use.
