I the under signed Declare that these machines:-
The reliability and quality of performance of the '(11,6*6(5,(6 depends upon some simple care maintenance car-
ried out regularly. This manual has been prepared to allow the user to carry out all such work.
It is advisable to read the instructions carefully. Proper care and attention will enable the machine to give a continuous,
satisfactory, and reliable service. Failure to carry out regular lubrication and maintenance as outlined in this manual may
render any guarantee or warranty invalid.
In the case of any dif¿culty, or if further information or advice is required, our Service Department is always at your call. In
the interests of speed and accuracy of information please quote the serial numbers of the machine and engine when
making enquiries.
For the mower, this is to be found on a plate attached to the side frame. The engine number is stamped on either the
crank case or the gear casing facing towards the front of the machine. We suggest you write the numbers on the front
page of this book.

Manufactured with a 26” (66cm), 30” (76cm) or 34” (86cm) cutting width, this range of machines is powered by either a
5.5hp (26” & 30”) or 6.5hp air cooled, single cylinder, four stroke petrol engine.
The rear roller and cutter are controlled independently via belt clutches operated from the console on the upper handle
bar. (ITEM 5). A parking brake is ¿tted for added safety when working on sloping ground.
In the design of the machine, special attention has been given to the importance of easy service and maintenance with
the construction based on a sectional assembly system. These are the Engine Unit, the Cassette Unit, the Rear Roller
Unit, and the Front Roller Unit, each of which can be readily removed individually from the main Frame Chassis Unit.
The interchangeable cassette system allows a variety of cassettes to be used for varying applications.

Remember height of cut is effected by moisture of turf , weight of machine and the
thatch density. Different makes of machine cut at different heights when set to the
same position with the setting bar. We suggest you set it to a couple of mm above your
planned height and then come down in height by trial.
Always check height of cut/operation with the setting bar provided. Check in two
positions i.e. one at either end of the cassette. Failure to do this could result in an
uneven cut.

Always stop the engine before adjusting the height
of cut. Failure to do this may result in serious injury.
The length of grass after cutting and the depth of
scari¿cation / dethatching / brushing, depends on
the setting of the front roller in relation to the main

NOTE
To check the height of cut and that the machine is level a setting bar (229524) can be used. Place the bar between the
front and rear rollers, resting the underside of the bolt head on the lip of the shear blade.
Either a ruler or pile of coins can be used to set the setting bar to the correct position. You are measuring the distance

To remove the cassette unit for maintenance or to
exchange cassettes the following procedure should
be followed:-
1) Unscrew the bolt (Item 1) [24mm Spanner] for
about half-an-inch (13mm) until the pip end is
inside the nut on the side frame.
2) Slide the cassette unit along the tie bars as far
as it will go until the cutter nut and coupling is
clear of the three pins in the driving coupling.
3) Remove the unit from the chassis by lifting in a swinging motion from the back.
To replace the cassette unit :-
1) Place the front slots of the cassette unit frames on the two front retaining pins seen
projecting from inside each frame.
2) Carefully lower the unit in a downward swinging motion until the rear slots of the
cassette unit frame rest on the cross tie bar.
3) Move in a lateral direction away from the retaining pin until the three holes of the
cassette nut and coupling are in full engagement with the three pins of the driving
coupling.
4) Screw up the bolt (Item 1) [24mm Spanner], engaging the hole in the side frame

The Primary Rear roller drive belt is shown in Fig 1.
This is a special Kevlar V belt design for clutching
applications. The Rear roller clutch pulley moves
into tension the belt via a control cable. The tension
in the cable can be adjusted as shown in Fig 1
[13mm spanner].
Under tensioning this belt will lead to slip and
cause rapid wear. Over tension will put excessive
stain on the belt and bearings.
The Secondary Rear roller drive belt is shown in Fig 2 (item1). This is a hard wearing poly-V belt. Belt tension is the single
most important factor necessary for long,
satisfactory service life of any belt drive.
Under-tensioning leads to belt slip causing rapid wear; over tensioning means excessive strain on belt and bearings.
Between these two extreme conditions is a reasonable range of tension within which the belt will operate. Belt tension can
be assessed by the ‘deÀection’ method.
CORRECTION CAN BE MADE BY ADJUSTMENT OF THE BELT TENSIONERS. REMOVE
THE DRIVING BELT COVER. THE BELT TENSIONERS ARE RETAINED IN A SLOTTED
HOLE ALLOWING ADJUSTMENT TO BE MADE ONCE THE HOLDING HEXAGON
HEADED BOLTS HAVE BEEN LOOSENED. WHEN ADJUSTED CORRECTLY THE
TENSIONERS SHOULD STILL ROTATE EASILY WITH FINGER PRESSURE. ENSURE THE
TENSIONER BOLTS ARE SECURE BEFORE REPLACING THE COVER.
NOTE
“Belts will be suf¿ciently tensioned if the deÀection force applied at mid span to produce a deÀection equal to 16mm per
meter of span distance falls between 5 and 9 Newtons per Rib” (TBA Belting).
In practical terms this relates to about 5mm of deÀection under moderate ¿nger pressure on the non tensioner side.
If ¿tting new belts it is advisable to observe the drive for the ¿rst 20-30 minutes. It may be necessary to make an
adjustment to compensate for the normal drop in tension during the run-in period.

Storage
The machine should always be kept in a clean dry place, free from condensation. After use ensure that the machine is
thoroughly clean, dry and free from grass and mud. Before off season storage smear a thin layer of grease on to the
cutter blades and the shear blade.
Under no circumstances must the machine be steam cleaned as this may remove grease from the pre packed bearings.
Because of the nature of lead free petrol we recomend that if the machine is being left unused for more than 2 weeks the
carburetor is run dry. Allow the engine to run out of fuel with the fuel tap switched off.
