3 ASSEMBLY
3.1 Installing
1. Place the cutting deck in position in front of the
machine.
2. Check that the deck mounts are installed on the
machine as follows.
Park 4WD:
• Washer (3:D). Only machines up to and in-
cluding 2006.
• Deck mount (3:C).
• Washer (3:B).
• Circlip (3:A).
Park 2WD:
• Deck mount (4:G).
• Washer (4:F).
• Lock pin (4:E).
3. Remove the pins and the washers on both sides.
See fig. 2.
4. Screw the arms into each other. See fig. 5.
5. Suspend the cutting deck in the implement lift-
er. See fig. 6.
6. If the deck has electrical cutting height adjust-
ment, connect the cable to the machine’s front
right socket. See fig. 7.
3.1.1 Belt, 4WD
The cutting deck’s rear section should rest on the
floor (it should not be lifted or secured).
Install the belt as follows:
1. Set the maximum cutting height.
2. Remove the belt cover (8:E). The number in the
figure indicates the key width.
3. Remove the belt guide (8:F).
4. Locate the belt around the machine’s belt pulley
(9:M).
5. Force the belt onto the cutting deck’s belt pul-
ley.
6. Tension the belt as follows.
Grip the belt tensioner’s lever with your left
hand. Pull the lever and apply the tensioner to
the outside of the belt with your right hand. See
fig. 9.
7. Install the belt guide and belt cover. See fig. 8.
8. Lift up and secure the rear section of the cutting
deck.
On machines with 17” wheels:
Install the wash-
ers and the pins in the top hole. See fig. 2.
On machines with 16” wheels:
Install the wash-
ers and the pins in the middle hole. See fig. 2.
3.1.2 Belt, 2WD
The cutting deck’s rear section should rest on the
floor (it should not be lifted or secured).
Install the belt as follows:
1. Set the maximum cutting height.
4. Locate the belt around the machine’s belt pul-
ley.
5. Force the belt onto the cutting deck’s belt pul-
ley.
6. Tension the belt with the belt idler. The belt
idler should be on the left side of the belt
viewed from the driver’s position. See fig. 10.
8. Lift up and secure the rear section of the cutting
deck.
On machines with 17” wheels:
Install the wash-
ers and the pins in the top hole. See fig. 2.
On machines with 16” wheels:
Install the wash-
ers and the pins in the middle hole. See fig. 2.
3.2 Tyre pressure
Adjust the air pressure in the tyres as follows:
Front: 0.6 bar (9 psi).
Rear: 0.4 bar (6 psi).
3.3 Basic setting
In order for the cutting deck to cut optimally, the
correct basic setting is required. The deck is in the
basic setting when its rear edge is 5 mm above its
front edge. This means that the deck is inclined
forwards.
4 USING THE MACHINE
Check that the grass that is to be cut is
completely free of foreign objects such
as stones etc.
4.1 Cutting height
The best cutting results are achieved when the
when the top third of the grass is cut off. I.e. 2/3 of
the length of the grass remains. See fig. 11.
If the grass is long and has to be cut significantly,
cut twice using different cutting heights.
Do not use the lowest cutting heights if the lawn
surface is uneven. This would entail a risk of the
blades being damaged against the surface and the
lawn’s top layer of soil being removed.
4.2 Incline
The cutting deck’s rear section can be lifted so that
the deck has a greater forward incline than that
provided by the basic setting. This incline affects
the cutting results as follows.
4.2.1 Basic setting
When the deck is in the basic setting, the best
“Multiclip” effect and good dispersion of the cut
grass are achieved. The basic setting is recom-
mended for normal grass. See 3.3.
