How To Check And Adjust The Drive

Brake (Figure 24)

Completely push the clutch/brake pedal forward.

Set the parking brake. Move the shift lever to the

neutral (N) position. Push the unit. If the rear

wheels rotate, adjust or replace the brake pads.

Adjust the drive brake (1) as follows.

1. The location of the drive brake (1) is on the

right side of the gearbox (3).

2. Make sure the parking brake is set and the

shift lever is in neutral (N). Turn the hex nut

(2) in a clockwise direction until the rear

wheels do not turn when the unit is pushed

forward.

3. Release the parking brake and push the unit.

If the unit does not roll, turn the hex nut (2)

in a counter-clockwise direction until the unit

rolls.

4. Set the parking brake. Push the unit. If the

rear wheels do not turn, the drive brake (1)

is correctly adjusted. Release the parking

brake.

WARNING: If you cannot correctly

adjust the drive brake, replace the

brake pads. Correct replacement

parts and assistance are available from an

authorized service centre.

How To Remove The Battery (Figure 4)

To charge or clean the battery (1), remove the

battery (1) from the unit as follows.

WARNING: To prevent sparks, dis-

connect the black battery cable (8)

from the negative (-) terminal be-

fore you disconnect the red cable (5).

WARNING: The battery contains

sulphuric acid which is harmful to

the skin, eyes and clothing. If the

acid gets on the body or clothing, wash

with water.

1. Disconnect the black cable (8) from the

negative (-) terminal.

2. Disconnect the red cable (5) from the posi-

tive (+) terminal (4).

3. Lift the battery tray (3) and the battery (1)

out of the unit.

How To Charge The Battery (Figure 4)

WARNING: When you charge the

battery, do not smoke. Keep the

battery away from any sparks. The

fumes from the battery acid can cause an

explosion.

1. Before you charge the battery (1), remove

the battery (1).

2. To charge the battery (1), use a 12 volt bat-

tery charger. Charge at a rate of 6 amperes

for 1 hour.

3. Install the battery (1).

WARNING: To prevent sparks,

fasten the red cable to the positive

(+) terminal before you connect the

black cable.

4. Fasten the red cable (5) to the positive (+)

terminal (4) with the fasteners as shown.

5. Fasten the black cable (8) to the negative

(-) terminal with the fasteners as shown.

How To Level The Mower Housing

(Figure 25 and Figure 26)

If the mower housing is level, the blade will cut

easier and the lawn will look better.

WARNING: Before you make an in-

spection, adjustment, or repair to

the unit, disconnect the wire to the

spark plug. Remove the spark plug wire to

prevent the engine from starting by acci-

dent

1. Make sure the unit is on a hard flat surface.

2. Check the air pressure in the tyres. If the air

pressure is incorrect, the mower housing will

not cut level. Make sure the tyres are inflated

to: Front Tyres 0,97 BAR (14 PSI), Rear

Tyres 0,69 BAR (10 PSI).

3. (Figure 25) Move the lift lever (1) to the

lowest position (2).

WARNING: The lift lever (3) is

spring loaded. Make sure the lift

lever (1) is locked in the lowest

position (2).

4. (Figure 26) Loosen the left and right ad-

juster knobs (1). Push down on each side of

the mower housing. Make sure both sides of

the mower housing are setting on a flat sur-

face. Also, make sure the lift links (2) are

loose and can easily move up or down.

5. Push down on the adjuster knobs (1) and

the lift links (2). Tighten the left and right

adjuster knobs (1). Make sure the adjuster

knobs (1) are tight. If necessary, use a

wrench to tighten the adjuster knobs (1).

6. (Figure 25) Raise the lift lever (1).

7. Mow for a short distance. If the height of cut

is not level, repeat the above steps.

Where To Lubricate (Figure 27)

Lubricate the areas shown

with engine oil.

Apply grease with a brush to

the areas shown.

Models with grease fittings:

Lubricate with grease gun.

NOTE: Apply grease to the steering gear as-

sembly.

CAUTION: If the unit is operated in dry areas

that have sand, use a dry graphite spray to

lubricate the unit.

Check The Tyres

Check the air pressure in the tyres. Tyres with

too much air pressure will cause the unit to ride

rough. Also, the wrong air pressure will keep the

mower housing from cutting level. The correct

air pressure is: Front Tyres 0,97 BAR (14 PSI),

Rear Tyres 0,69 BAR (10 PSI).
