V. Operating the Machine
The machine is intended for maintenance of irregularly mowed grass areas. The mulching machine chops the vegetation into
small pieces that remain evenly distributed in place and sere as natural fertilizer.
1.Mulching Process
Mulching frequency: Perform mulching 3-4 times per year. First mulching should be performed at the beginning of the
vegetation season; last mulching should be performed at the end of the vegetation season. Other mulching depends on grass
growth conditions.
Mulching method: Use a single phase for mulching of grass up to 25 cm –adjust the knife height depending on grass
vegetation quality.
Grass exceeding 25 cm should be mulched in two phases, Fig. 10. Adjust the Blade height to the higher position No. II, Fig.
4, for the first phase.
It is possible to lower the Blade height to position No. I, Fig. 4, during the second phase.
2.Mowing Height Adjustment
The stubble height can be adjusted in two positions
Low position No. I High position No. II. See example in Fig. 4.
Stubble height adjustment in position No. II.
Loosen the bolt with nut (2) in the front Skid, loosen and unscrew the bolt (3) in the rear Skidt. Shift the rear sole part so that
the hole in Skid overlaps with opening No. II on the deck. Place the bolt (3) through both openings and the saddle washer (4).
Screw-in the self-locking nut from the inner deck side and tighten the connection. Then tighten the bolt with self-locking nut
(2) in the front of the Skid.
Perform the same procedures when rearranging the second Skid. Both Skids must be adjusted to the same height! Fig. 4.
The machine can be adjusted to a specific terrain.
3. Starting the Engine
Adjust the accelerator control lever (3), Fig. 3, to the “START” position for a cold engine, to the “MAX” position for a warm
engine and start the engine. Observe instructions provided in the instructions for use of the engine throughout the operation.
The accelerator is located in the central section of the upper handlebar part.
During engine start-up, both clutch levers on the handlebars need to be released. Adjust max. Engine revolutions by the
accelerator lever.
Grab the handlebar grip. Press the lever (2), Fig. 3, on the right handlebar side. Keep pressing the lever up very slowly in
order for the mowing blade to start turning and the engine to keep running. Blade start-up is accompanied by partial slipping
of the vee-belt and during blade start-up it’s normal to experience vibration and related effects (rattling and whistling).
Upon start-up of the mowing Blade, press the lever completely toward the handle.
Engaging of the drive is performed by a lever (1), Fig. 3, on the left handlebar side. Press the lever to the handle and the
machine starts moving.
Speed of the drive on version 0125317 AG can be changed by positioning the control lever 4 (image 11) on the left side of
the handlebars the control lever can be adjusted to 7 positions.
The travel speed may be changed only with the engine running!
THERE IS A RISK OF MACHINE DAMAGE IF THIS IS NOT ADHERED TO!!
4. Stopping the Mulching Machine
Release the left lever and the machine stops. The mowing Blade drive is shut down immediately upon release of the right
lever. The safety brake stops the mowing knife within a very short time. During turning or backward movement with the
machine it is not necessary to stop the mowing Blade in order to prevent wasting of energy extra wear on belts and pulleys of
the mowing system. The engine is stopped by moving the accelerator lever (3), Fig. 3, to position “0”.
In case of a critical situation, immediately release both levers on the handlebar. The levers return to the zero position, the
drive and the mowing knife come to a halt.
VI. Adjustment and Maintenance
1.Replacement of the Mowing Blade
Switch off engine and remove Spark plug Cap, Tip the Machine backwards so the handle bars are the ground and the
front of the deck it pointing to the sky.
Loosen and unscrew the Blade bolt (1) with the washer (2), knife washer (3) and the disk washer (4) that fixes the mulching
knife (5) to the knife nave (6). Have the knife sharpened or exchange it. Perform assembly in reverse order of Fig. 8.
