1. Generel information
The Egholm Rotary/Mulch Mower is ideal for all
lawn-mowing applications; it can effectively take
care of the most tortuous of lawns.
The Mulch Mower cuts and recuts the grass
into tiny particles and blows them down into the
lawn. The fine cut grass decomposes rapidly
and is left to mulch the lawn throughout the
summer.
The Rotary Mower has rear discharge and is
especially suitable for handling tall grass. It
leaves the lawn looking well groomed, even
when the grass has grown tall and rough.
The Egholm mowers both come standard with
piano wheels which make the mower follow
the steering and thereby avoiding tracks on the
lawn.
Performance per hour is 5 – 10,000 m2. With
a working width of 1210 mm, the Egholm 2100
briskly handles all lawn areas.
Useful tips
Keep an eye on the radiator grille whilst mowing
dry dusty grass: radiator choking can be
avoided by installing a larger cover.
Do not cut more than one third of the grass-
blade height at any one time. Adjust the mowing
frequency hereafter.
Mowing too fast can scalp the grass - reduce
your mowing speed in order to achieve a nice
even cut.
Always use the large radiator cover when
mowing.
In order to protect the hydraulic system, wipe the
hose couplings clean before attaching them.
Daily cleaning and maintenance extends the
lifetime of machine and implements.

2.1 Assembly/Disassembly
Assembly:
1. It is recommended that the hydraulic hoses should
be run over the mower in front of the A-frame to
keep them clear and free from dirt when the mower
is being fitted. (Picture 1)
2. The locking handle on the A-frame of the basic
machine must be in the open position. (Picture 2)
3. Drive the basic machine right up to the A-frame of
the mower, so the A-frames fit into each other.
(Picture 2)
N.B.! It is recommended not to lower the A-frame of
the basic machine completely as this can damage
the paint on the mower when the A-frames are
connected.
4. Raise the A-frame with lever A on the left-hand side
of the machine until the piano wheels are freely
suspended above the ground. (Picture 3)
5. Stop the machine. (See the operator’s manual for the
basic machine, section 2.2)
6. Lock the mower in place with the locking handle on
the A-frame. (Picture 2)
7. Fit the hydraulic hoses on the connectors D1, D2
and D3 on the right-hand side of the machine.
(Picture 4)
8. Attach the hydraulic hoses with the rubber strap
under the running board to ensure it runs correctly
over the screen.
Disassembly:
Follow the procedure for assembly in reverse order.
Put the protective caps on the snap couplings to
protect them from dirt.

2.2 Before start-up
During transport, lock the mower in the raised
position with the transport lock. (Picture 1)
Before start-up and fitting the mower, make sure the
blades are sharp, intact and without cracks. This
avoids unnecessary stops during mowing.
Warning!
Make sure to remove stones and twigs
from the lawn. These can be flung from
the mower unintentionally and cause per-
sonal injuries and damage to the machine
and its implements.
Make sure to drive around well covers
etc. to avoid damage to the blades and
the shield.
2.3 Start-up
1. Start the machine. (See the operator’s manual for the
basic machine, section 2.2)
2. Lower the mower by pushing lever A on the left-hand
side of the machine down to position 2. (Picture 2)
3. Hold the lever A down for about 2 seconds, as after
this the mower is in a floating position and will follow
the contours of the surface.
4. Turn the throttle lever so that it is at least half way.
(Picture 3)
5. Start the mower by slowly pushing lever D on the
right-hand side of the machine up to position 1.
(Picture 4)
6. Now open the throttle fully (full power) to achieve the
correct blade speed. (Picture 3)
Adjust the driving sped to suit the conditions.
