hot.
- If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away from the area of spillage and a v oid
creating
any source of ignition until petrol vapours have dissipated.
- For
reasons of safety the petrol tank and tank cap lock must be replaced if damaged.
• Replace faulty silencers.
• Before using, always visually inspect to see that the blades, blade bolts and cutter assembly are not worn or damaged.
Replace worn or damaged blades in sets to preserve b alance.
• On multibladed machines, take care as rotating one blade can cause other blades to rotate.
OPER
ATION
• Do not operate the engine in a conf ined space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.
• Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light.
• Avoid operating the equipment in wet grass, where feasible.
• Always be sure of your footing on slopes.
• Walk, never run.
• For wheeled rotary machines, mow across the face of slopes, never up and do wn.
• Exerciseextreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
• Do not mow excessively steep slopes.
• Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the mower towards y o u.
• Stop the blade(s) if the mower has to be tilted for transportation when crossing sur faces other than grass and when
transporting the mower to and from the area to be mo w ed.
• Never operate the mower with defective guards or shields, or without safety devices, for example def lectors and/or grass
catchers in place.
• Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed the engine.
• Disengage all blade and drive clutches before starting the engine.
• Start the engine or switch on the mower carefully according to instructions and with feet well away from the blade(s).
• Do not tilt when starting the engine or switching on the motor, unless the mower has to be tilted for starting. In this case,
do not tilt it more than absolutely necessary and lift only the part which is away from the operator.
• Do not start the engine when standing in front of the discharge chute.
• Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.
• Never pick up or carry a mower while the engine is running.
• Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug lead:
-
Before clearing blockages or unclogging the chute.
-
Before checking, cleaning or working on the mo w er .
- After striking a foreign
object. Inspect the mower for damage and make repairs before restarting and operating the
mo
w er .
- If the
mower starts to vibrate abnormally check immediately.
• Stop the engine:
-
Whenever you leave the mo w er .

To ensure safe operation and long lif e it is recommended to clean the mower after every use. This will prevent corrosion, overheating and fire risk while ensuring
ultimate per f ormance.
Cleaning the Underside of the Mo w er
Place the mower outdoors on a flat sur f ace.
Set the cut height to maximum.
With the
engine stopped, remove the grass catcher and lift open the discharge f lap.
Use a garden hose to wash out all the grass clippings.
Inspect theunderside and repeat the cycle if still not clean.
Mowers
f itted with optional washport refer to page 10.
Cleaning the Upperside of the Mo w er
Use a dry rag or soft brush to remove all loose clippings.
Use a damp rag with
mild detergent to clean away oil or other grime.
Wash the
grass catcher separately from the mower with a hose washing all clippings out of the inside, outside and
from the
grass catcher mesh.
Let the mower dry before storing.
CHANGING THE CUTTING BL ADES
W ARNING
With the engine stopped, spark plug wire and grass catcher removed, open the discharge flap and prop in the open
position (refer figure 1 0).
Set the mower to
high cut and fold the upper handle bar down.
Rotate the
cutting assembly carefully to access the blade retaining bolts.
Using gloves and a suitable spanner, remove the blade assembly.
Retain the ‘D’ plates (where f itted) and discard the blades and f asteners.
Fit the new blades and f asten in the correct order (refer figure 1 1).
Tighten the blade retaining nuts firmly ( 1 6Nm).

Do not overtighten the cable assembly.
Should the transmission continue to slip after adjustment, have the mower serviced by an authorised Rover dealer.
If cable adjustment is necessary ensure that the drive disengages before starting the mower or it may drive of f unattended. This can be
checked by pulling the mower backwards (with the drive bale released) - the rear wheels should free wheel.
Refer to the “Warning” and “Caution” notes at the beginning of the maintenance section.
Remove all clipping build up from around the blade retaining nuts before f itting the spanner .
Use a ring or socket spanner to prevent slipping of f or damaging the blade retaining nut.
The blade should be free to rotate if the bolts are f itted correctly.
Refer to the “Warning” and “Caution” notes at the beginning of this section.

MAINTENANCE (Continued)
Adjusting the Drive Cable (Continued)
• Start the mower in the disengaged position.
• Push the drive bale f or w ar d until the gap between the bale and the handle bar is 55mm (refer figure 1 2).
• The drive should just begin to engage at this point.
• If the drive is not beginning to engage, rotate the thumb wheel on the cable support block (one click at a time) in
clockwise direction until it does (refer figure 1 3).
• If the drive engages and drives off at a gap greater than 55mm rotate the thumb wheel on the cable support block
click at a time in the clockwise direction until it does (refer figure 1 3).
• Test the mower at all speeds ensuring that it self disengages when the drive bale is released and that the transmissi
not
slip at full speed with the drive bale fully engaged.
• If you still experience problems, see your nearest authorised Rover dealer.
Removing the Drive Frame Co v er
• Unscrew the rear phillips head screw in that order (refer figure 1 4).
• Lift the cover and rotate out of the mower to expose the upper transmission components.
Replacing the Drive Frame
Co v er
• Fit the drive cable into its retaining slot in the lower drive support frame and hold it down horizontally with one hand
(refer
figure 1 5).
• Rotate the cover into position over the cable until it seats properly and maintain pressure on the lid above the cable.
• Screw the rear fixing above the cable down f irmly .
• Screw the f or w ar d fixing down f irmly .
Drive Chain Lubrication
• Remove the drive frame cover (refer to the “Removing the Drive Frame Cover” section) to expose the drive chain.
• While rotating the outer clutch plate (clockwise) apply an even spread of suitable (non aerosol) chain lubricant along
the
length of the chain (refer figure 1 6).
• Replace the drive frame cover (refer to the “Replacing the Drive Frame Cover” section).
ENGLISH

Put the chain lubricant in a container with a long pointed spout to make application easier.
Apply a little of the lubricant on the cams between the clutch engagement lever and the
outboard output shaft bearing retainer while lubricating the chain.
16
• Refer to the “Warning” and “Caution” notes at the beginning of the maintenance section.
• Do not apply excessive lubricant to the chain as it may f lick of f and onto the drive clutches during operation.
• Keep lubricant clear of the drive clutches.
W ARNING
Leave the f ixings in the lid when removing or replacing.
15
• Make sure the raised ring on the brass section of the drive cable nests into the groove of the lower drive support frame and f it the
lid accurately on top before screwing down the co v er .
• Do not operate the transmission bale with the cover loose or removed as you will damage the lower drive support frame.
CAUTION
Blow grass and dirt out of the recessed holes to expose the head of the f ixings.

• Ensure the cable is not damaged or kinked which may af fect the driv e.
• Apply a drop of lubricant to the pivot points of the drive bale to ensure smooth and safe
operation.
