The City Ranger 3070 Rotary/Mulch Mower
1500 operates quickly and effectively to meet
your every cutting need – even on dicult
lawns.
The Rotary/Mulch Mower 1500 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/Mulch Mower 1500 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 3070 Rotary/Mulch Mower
1500 drives 13.500 - 15.000 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
clogged with grass. This reduces the cooling
effect.
The Rotary/Mulch Mower 1500 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 hydraulic couplings are clean before
mounting the mower, as this protects the
hydraulic system.

the mower. Lower the A-frame slowly using the right
joystick (blue) so the A-frames t into each other.
(Picture 2)
3. Raise the A-frame by pulling the right joystick back
until the support wheels hang free of the ground.
(Picture 3)
4. Switch off the engine.
Attention

3.1 Cleaning
Daily cleaning and maintenance will extend the
lifetime of both the machine and the attachment.
It is important that the couplings are intact and
cleaned before mounting the attachment.
If not clean, use a cloth or similar. (Picture 2)
Cleaning the mower
1. Keep the mower mounted on the City Ranger 3070.
2. Tilt the mower up. (See section 2.6 for tilt).
(Picture 1)
3. Clean the mower with water.
4. Avoid high pressure cleaning of the hydraulic
couplings - use a cloth or similar. (Picture 2)
It is recommended to clean the mower immediately
after operation to stop the grass sticking to the guard
and blades.
Cleaning the lters for the coolers
1. Check radiator covers are free at all times.
(Picture 3)
2. Clean the grilles and cooler using compressed air or
use a brush to keep the lters clean.
3. If the radiators are dirty they must be cleaned.
(Picture 4) (See City Ranger 3070 user manual)
4. The radiator guards must be cleaned regularly if
cutting very dry grass.
Attention
Do not use hard implements when rinsing
the cooler, as this can damage the ns.
Warning
Clean the cooler with compressed air
before washing the machine. Otherwise
the dirt will stick and be dicult to remove.

3.2 Maintenance
Greasing
Each wheel has 1 greasing nippel and the tilt system
has 2 - 4 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 ip up 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.
