ATTERY
To ensure long life to the
battery it is essential to keep
it carefully maintained.
The machine battery must
always be...

before the next time of starting up.
– A flat battery must be recharged as soon as possible.
Recharging must be done using a battery charger at con-
stant voltage.Other recharging systems can irreversibly damage the battery.
The machine has a connector (1) for recharging, to be connected to the corre-
sponding connector of the special “CB01” maintenance battery-charger sup-
plied  ( if included)or available on request  (☛8.5).
This connector must only be used for connection to the

balancing, remounting and/or replacing) require a certain familiarity and
special tools. For safety reasons, go to a specialized centre if you do not
have the right tools or experience.
Wear strong gloves when handling the blades.
To remove a blade, hold it firmly and undo the central bolt (1)in the direction
indicated by the arrow for each blade, noting that one of the fixing bolts has
a right-hand thread and the other one has a left-hand thread.
Sharpen the two cutting edges using a medium grade...

Tighten the fixing screws (2) using a torque wrench set to 45-50 Nm. If
one or both shaft hubs (3) come off when dismantling the blades, make
sure the keys (4) are securely lodged in place.
6.3.2 C
UTTING DECK ALIGNMENT
The cutting deck should be properly set to obtain a good cut. 
For achieving good results from cutting, the front part
should always be 5 - 6 mm lower than the rear.
– Put the machine onto a flat surface and check the tyre pressures;
– put 26 mm blocks (1) under the front edge
of the deck...

6.3.3 ADJUSTMENT TO THE ENGAGEMENT AND BRAKE OF THE BLADES
For models with lever operated engagement
When the lever to disengage the blades
is operated, this also brings the blade
brake into operation for stopping the
blades within few seconds.
A badly functioning blade brake is usu-
ally due to wear in the brake lining (2)
and this will need to be changed by a
Licensed Service Centre. 
A stretched cable and changes in the
length of the belt can impair the blades’
engagement or rotation. 
To compensate...

Loosen the nut (1) which holds on the brack-
et (2) and turn the nut (3) until the length of
the spring is:
A= 47.5 - 49.5  mm (For mechanical
drive models)
B= 45 - 47  mm (For hydrostatic drive
models)
measured inside the washers. When the
adjustment has been made, tighten the nut
(1). 
Do not screw below
these values to avoid overloading the brake
unit.
If the brake still does
not work properly even after this adjust-
ment, immediately contact the Licensed
Service Centre. DO NOT ATTEMPT OTHER WORK ON...
