The City Ranger 2260/2250 Rotary/Mulch
mower 1500 operates quickly and effectively to
meet your every cutting need – even on dicult
lawns.
The mulch mower cuts and recuts the grass
into tiny particles and blows them down into
the lawn, which fertilises the soil naturally
throughout the summer. The result is a green
and well-trimmed lawn.
The rotary mower with rear discharge feature
is especially well-suited to rough, tall and even
damp grass, leaving it looking well groomed.
The Egholm mowers are equipped with piano
wheels as standard, which make the mower
follow the steering. This also avoids leaving
tracks on the lawn.
The City Ranger 2260/2250 Rotary/Mulch
mower 1500 can maintain 13,5-15000 m2 per
hour. It simply races around the lawn with a
cutting width of 1,500 mm.
Useful tips
Never allow the radiator grille to become choked
with grass. This reduces the cooling effect.
The mulch mower is designed to cut up to one
third of the grass height. Adjust the mowing
frequency hereafter.
Adjust the speed for the desired result – the
best result is achieved when you avoid driving
too fast.
Ensure the snap couplings are clean before
locking, as this protects the hydraulic system.

2.1 Assembly / Disassembly
Check that the blades are sharp, intact and free from
cracks before attaching the mower. This avoids
unnecessary breakdown while mowing.
Assembly
1. The locking handle on the A-frame of the base
machine must be in the unlocked position. (Picture 1)
2. Drive the base machine right up to the A-frame
of the mower, so the A-frames t into each other.
(Picture 2)
N.B. It is recommended that the A-frame of the
machine is not dropped completely down, as
this may damage the mower paintwork when the
A-frames are tted together.
3. Raise the A-frame by pulling the joystick back
until the support wheels hang free of the ground.
(Picture 3)
4. Switch off the engine.
5. Use the locking handle on the A-frame to lock the
mower in place. (Picture 4). The locking handle can
only be engaged when the engine has been switched
off.
Disassembly
Follow the procedure for tting in reverse order.

3.2 Maintenance
Greasing
Each wheel has 1 greasing nippel - 2 places in total.
(Picture 1)
Replacing the blades
If the blades are damaged, the mower will begin to
vibrate. These are replaced as follows:
1. Tilt the mower. (See section 2.6 for tilting the
mower.)
2. Switch off the machine.
3. Using a chisel or screwdriver, open the locking plate,
that locks the bolt heads (Picture 3)
4. Unschrew the bolts, and remove the locking plate,
and the disc.
5. Attach new blades, with the sharp edge, facing
towards the direction of travel. (Picture 4)
It is recommended to replace the blades, one at a
time, to ensure that they t correctly
6. Ret the locking plate, and bolts. The bolts should
be tighetened to a torque of 85 Nm.
7. Lock the bolts, by bending the locking plate towards
a at side, of each bolt.
8. It is recommended to avoid using locking plate,
more than twice, and to avoid bending it repeatedly.
This prevents the blades, from falling off during
operation.
New blades and locking plates can be ordered from an
authorised Egholm distributor.
