Collector
to
the
H-Series
tractor,
ensure
that
both
are
on
an
even
surface
with
the
Locking
Levers
(1)
on
the
collector
facing
the
Trailing
Arms
(2)
on
the
tractor.
Move
the
collector
manually
to
the
tractor.
Lower
the
Trailing
Arms
using
the
lever
(9)
to
the
left
of
the
seat.
At
the
end
of
each
Trailing
Arm
you
will
find
a
Locating
Lug
(4).
Slide
the
Channels
(5)
on
either
side
of
the

(1)
yet.
INSTALLING
THE
DRIVE
BELT
(Part
No.
C22-8734>00)
is
best
achieved
with
the
grass
box
detached.
Place
the
Drive
Belt
over
the
PTO
pulley
(beneath
the
tractor
seat).
Standing
behind
and
facing
the
tractor,
lean
over
the
collector
and
extend
the
belt
with
both
hands
parallel
to
the
ground.
Now
twist
the
belt
to
form
a
figure
‘8’
-
the
right-hand
up
and
the
left-hand
down.
In
this
position
place
the
other
end
of
the
belt
over
the
Powered
Collector
Pulley
(7).
Be
sure
that
this
is
installed
the
right
way
round
otherwise
the
brush
will
work
in
reverse
and
collection
will
be
poor!
Engage
the
Locating
Levers
(1)
over
the
Locating
Lugs
(4)
and
finally
insert
the
Securing
Pins
(6)
To
disconnect,
reverse
this
procedure.
PTO
DRIVE
BELT
TENSION
Engaging
the
Locating
Levers
tensions
the
belt
which
should
not
be
run
too
tight
-
to
check
the
tension
there
should
be
a
19mm
deflection
with
light
finger
pressure
(2Kgs)
at
a
midway
point
between
PTO
pulley
and
Sweeper
pulley
(7).
If
tension
needs
adjustment,
disconnect
the
collector
and
the
adjustment
holes
(8)
will
be
found
on
the
inside
of
the
Locating
Channels.
Adjust
by
movement
of
one
lever
at
a
time
by
one
hole
at
a
time,
alternate
sides.
There
should
never
be
more
than
one
hole
difference
from
left
to
right.
If
in
doubt
contact
your
dealer.
TO
USE:
RAISE
SWEEPER
TO
THE
TRANSPORT
POSITION
A
lever
(9)
to
the
driver’s
left-hand
raises
the
Powered
Collector
to
the
transport
position.
We
recommend
that
you
drive
to
and
from
the
area
to
be
swept
with
the
Powered
Collector
in
this
transport
position
and
with
the
P.T.O.
disengaged.
When
you
reach
the
area
to
be
swept,
lower
the
collector
and
then
engage
the
brushes
by
pushing
the
sprung
PTO
lever
to
the
left
to
release
and
engage.
LOWER
THE
COLLECTOR
Using
the
lever
(9),
lower
the
collector.

ADJUST
THE
SVv'EEPlNG
HEIGHT
Using
the
Sweeping
Height
Lever
(10)
select
the
position
appropriate
to
the
conditions
and
the
height
of
cut.
TO
GET
THE
BEST
SWEEPING
PERFORMANCE
AND
TO
PRESERVE
THE
BRUSHES
SELECT
THE
HIGHEST
SETTING
THAT
WORKS
-
start
high
and
adjust
down
until
the
brushes
stop
to
collect
(normally
the
middle
adjustment
hole).
DO
NOT
SET
THE
BRUSHES
TOO
LOW
-
this
will
lead
to
scarifying
and
a
very
untidy
finish
as
well
as
shortening
brush
life.
TO
TIP
CUTTINGS
See
illustration
below,
left.
You
can
check
the
contents
of
the
grassbox
through
the
clear
cover
(11).
When
it
is
full,
DISENGAGE
THE
PTO
and
raise
the
collector
to
the
transport
position.
Drive
to
your
tipping
area,
reverse
to
the
pile,
select
neutral,
then
extend
and
pull
the
tipping
handle
(12)
towards
you.
The
cuttings
will
discharge.
If
some
cuttings
are
reluctant
to
come
out
of
the
grassbox,
continue
to
tip
the
grass
box
as
you
drive
forward
from
the
heap.

FUEL
FILTER
If
you
suspect
that
fuel
is
not
getting
through
to
the
engine
first
check
that
the
outlet
in
the
fuel
tank
is
not
blocked.
Then
remove
the
hose
from
the
carburettor
side
of
the
In-line
fuel
filter
(having
first
ensured
that
you
have
a
container
into
which
fuel
flow
can
be
directed)
If
the
fuel
flows
the
filter
is
probably
OK.
If
it
is
more
than
a
year
old
it
is
sensible
to
replace
it.
If
fuel
is
passing
the
In-line
filter
the
chances
are
that
fuel
is
not
your
problem.
If
the
carburettor
is
the
problem
it
is
only
serviceable
by
a
dealer.

Deck
on
your
tractor
has
been
factory
set
and
then
checked
by
your
dealer
before
delivery
to
you.
It

THAT
CUSTOMERS
REPLACE

BLADES
-
THIS
IS
A
JOB
FOR
A
DEALER.
19
The
cutter
deck
should
be
set
so
that
it
is
parallel
to
the
surface
it
is
cutting
with
a
maximum
variation
from
side
to
side,
or
front
to
back
of
3mm.
Check
this
by
placing
the
tractor
on
a
hard
level
surface
and
measuring
the
clearance
heights
front
back
and
side
to
side
with
a
steel
ruler
or
tape
with
the
cutter
set
one
adjustment
up
from
its
lowest
position.
If
the
cutter
deck
seems
to
require
levelling
first
check
these
other
possible
causes:
1/Are
the
tyres
inflated
evenly
all
round
-
if
not,
inflate
to
the
correct
pressures.
2/Are
the
cutter
deck
Hanger
Brackets
(fig
39A)
moving
freely
or
are
they
hitching
up.
To
check
this
lift
the
cutter
deck
to
its
highest
position
and
lift
and
rock
it,
watching
to
ensure
that
the
brackets
move
freely
-
if
not
clean
and
grease.
(See
page

fig
56)
3/
Is
the
front
axle
pivoting
freely
-
if
not,
clean
and
oil.
4/
Is
there
any
impact
damage
that
has
bent
or
distorted
the
deck
or
suspension
brackets.
(A
matter
for
your
dealer)
(f
the
deck
is
still
uneven:-
LEVELLING
FRONT
TO
BACK
(you
need
two
people
for
this
operation
-
one
to
lift
the
deck
while
the
other
removes
or
relocates
the
Trunnion)
1/
Ensure
that
the
Anti
Scalp
Wheels
are
all
adjusted
in
the
same
hole
-
if
not,
rectify.
2/
Lower
the
cutter
deck
to
a
position
one
above
the
lowest
setting
-
check
levels
with
ruler
or
tape.
3/
Now
locate
the
front
to
back
Adjustment
Rod
to
the
right
(offside)
of
the
cutter.
At
the
rear
end
of
this
rod,
near
the
rear
offside
wheel,
you
will
find
the
Trunnion
(fig
39B)
that
links
the
rod
to
the
Deck
Hanger
Bracket.
Both
the
Trunnion
and
the
rod
are
threaded
and
adjustment
is
achieved
by
rotating
the
Trunnion
to
‘in
effect’
shorten
or
lengthen
the
rod.
4/
To
free
the
Trunnion
use
a
9/16”
spanner
or
socket
to
remove
the
3/8”
Nyloc
nut
and
washer
and
push
it
free.
5/
Rotate
the
Trunnion
to
advance
it
up
the
rod
to
lift
the
back
of
the
deck.
Rotate
it
the
other
way
to
lift
the
front.
Adjustment
is
rapid
so
try
one
or
two
turns
and
relocate
the
Trunnion
bracket
and
secure
-
then
check
the
effect.
Repeat
and
re-check
if
necessary.
