5. Mowing Work
DANGER
Do not put your hands and feet near the blade reel cylinder when it is rotating.
5-1 How to Operate
①Before starting the engine, check the following points.
・The change lever must be in the neutral position.
・The travelling clutch lever must be in the "OFF" position.
②Start the engine.
③Pull the clutch levers of the right/left mowers and rear mower.
④Slowly pull the travelling clutch lever in the same way as clutch-slipping.
When the machine is started through the above operations, the blade reel
cylinders rotate and the mowing work starts.
5-2 Adjustment before Work
①Check the sharpness of the blade. The blade is sharp if newspaper can be
cut well.
②Try mowing to see if the mowing height of the three mowers is the same.
6. Method of Lapping
Lapping is intermediate finishing that is required temporarily before
resharpening the blade. Both blade reel cylinder and bottom blade are
simultaneously lapped by applying the abrasive while turning the blade reel
cylinder in the direction opposite to the mowing direction.
(Fig. 12)
(Fig. 13)
-8-

2) Procedure
For details, see the Handling Manual of Lapping Machine.
①Bring the blade reel cylinder and the bottom blade into
slight contact with each other uniformly at right and left. Cut newspaper
into strips and check which portion of the blade is dull.
②Connect the lapping machine and the blade reel cylinder shaft of the mower.
③Rotate the blade reel cylinder in the direction opposite to the mowing
direction and apply the abrasive with a brush to the portion where the
newspaper was cut well.
④Idle the machine for a while, and then switch off the lapping machine
when contact noise is no longer heard.
⑤Trially cut the newspaper strips with the entire width of the blade reel
cylinder, and note portions of cutting well and not well.
Repeat the above steps ①～⑤ When the blade reel cylinder and bottom
blade are uniformly engaged (brought into contact) with each other
entirely, wash off the abrasive to finish the work.
The edges are very sharp. Be sure to wear gloves when touching the blades.
The blade reel cylinder must be rotated in the direction
opposite to the mowing direction.
It is dangerous when you apply the abrasive with a brush to the rotating
blade reel cylinder. Be careful that your hand and brush wil not be caught.
When cutting the newspaper, pay attention to your fingers that will turn
the blade reel cylinder.
Should the abrasive enter your eyes, immediately wash your eyes with
water. If the condition is serious, consult a doctor.
For details, see the Handling Manual for Engine.
Periodically clean the air cleaner so that clean air can be supplied to the
engine.
①Clean the urethane foam with white kerosene, and then immerse it in a
mixture of three parts white kerosene and one part engine oil, and firmly
squeeze before installing.
②Clean the element with white kerosene, immerse it in the mixture of three
parts white kerosene and one part engine oil, and then shake/squeeze it
before installing.
