1 General
The decks are equipped with two or three synchronised rotating blades. The tracks of
adjacent blades are overlapping each other, which means that the synchronization is vital.
All shafts/pulleys are pivoted in sealed and permanent lubricated ball bearings.
All decks are provided with aquick-coupling to simplify the lifting up procedure for cleaning
and inspection and. The decks are also provided with an electrical or manual adjusting
device for the cutting height.
All decks are tested prior to delivery and are delivered as completely assembled as
possible. This ensures that assembly on delivery is rapid and simple.
This chapter describes assembly on delivery, repair, replacements and adjustments of
stressed parts of the mower decks.

1.1 General tightening torque

Unless otherwise stated, the following tightening torque are applicable for screws and nuts
on the machine:

Tightening torques:
Thread Torque
M5 5 Nm
M6 9 Nm
M8 22 Nm
M10 45 Nm

Note!
Blade shafts with external threads, cutted at the shaf, have special tightening torques.
Note the actual torque in the special case.

1 Cutting theory
1.1 Cutting height
The best cutting results are achieved when the
when the top third of the grass is cut off.
I.e. 2/3 of the length of the grass remains.
If the grass is long and has to be cut
significantly, cut twice using different cutting 1/3
heights.
Do not use the lowest cutting heights if the lawn
surface is uneven. This would entail a risk of the
blades being damaged against the surface and
the lawn’s top layer of soil being removed.

1.2 Incline
The cutting deck’s rear section can be lifted so
that the deck has a greater forward incline than
that provided by the basic setting. This incline
affects the cutting results as follows.

No incline
When the deck is in the basic setting, the best
mulching effect and good dispersion of the cut
grass are achieved. The basic setting is
recommended for normal grass.

Incline
When the cutting deck is inclined forwards, the
mulching effect is reduced while the cut grass is
dispersed better.
Inclining forwards is recommended for thicker
grass.

2 Original blades
2.1 Why it is so important to use original blades and blade tips from the
retail dealer?
The table below shows the demands on original blades and blade tips, delivered from the
retail dealer.
The table is intended to display the importance to use theoriginal blades and blade tips.

Demand Remarks
No splitting of blade tips. Using steel balls, the manufacturer simulates what can
happen if you drive over foreign objects on the lawn. The
sharpening of the blades may be destroyed, but no parts are
. allowed to loosen or fly away.

No splitting of blades. The impact test is the toughes durability test a lawn mower can
be subject to. An iron pipe is placed right into the blades during
operation.
. The blade can be deformed but it may not under any
circumstances, come off or split.
This test verifies that blades and other parts fulfil the high
safety requirements.

Optimal balance. Blades and blade tips from the retail dealer have exactly the
Minimum of noise. same weight.
Minimum of vibrations. Blades and blade tips from the retail dealer are optimal
balanced.

. This guarantee a minimum of vibration and noise which gives

a maximal durability of the machine.
It also guarantee that the machine corresponds to the
specification according to noise and vibrations.
Optimal cutting result. Blades and blade tips from the retail dealer are optimized in
the application. I.e. the blades are adapted to the shape och
the cover and the numberof revolutions to give the best cutting
result.

Synchronising, blades
The deck has synchronised blades.
If one of the blades has struck a solid object
(e.g. a stone), the synchronisation may be
altered. This entails a risk of the blades
colliding with each other.
Correctly synchronised blades must be offset
90° from each other. See the figure.
Always check synchronisation after a collision.
If the blades are not synchronised, one or more
of the following faults may have occurred in the
cutting deck:
• The positive drive belt has slipped on the
gear wheels.
• Torque limiting between gear wheels and
blade shaft has deployed. The arrows in
the figure must be opposite each other for
