INTRODUCTION
107 M
This cutting deck is available as standard in two
versions:
- with mechanical setting of the cutting height
(item no. 13-2930).
- with factory-fitted, electrical setting
of the cutting height (item no. 13-2934).
INSTALLATION
DECK ARMS
1. Install the left and right deck arms in the cutting
deck’s front two corners. Use the existing screw
and flat washer (fig. 1). Tighten the screw. After
tightening, it should be possible to move the deck
arms up and down.
2. Do not hook the rear part of the deck arms onto
the deck yet (See “Cutting deck” point 7 below).
CUTTING DECK
1. Place the cutting deck in front of the machine.
Set the maximum cutting height.2. Remove the locking pin and the outermost flat
washer from the machine’s steering knuckle.
3. Thread one deck arm onto the steering knuckle.
Place the flat washer on the steering knuckle and
secure with the locking pin. Repeat on the other
side (fig. 2).
4. Force the V-belt onto the machine’s pulley A
(fig. 3).
5. Lift up the deck’s rear part past the catch until it
drops down. When the weight of the deck is resting
on the upper side of the catch, the installation is
correct (fig. 4).
6. Tension the belt with belt idler B. The belt idler
should be on the inside of the belt and pull out to
the left (viewed from the driver’s position).
7. Screw the lift spring into the machine’s lifting
arm.
(fig. 5).
8. Connect the electrical contact to the socket on
the side of the machine (only applies to item no.
13-2934), (fig. 6).
SETTING
In order for the deck to cut evenly and attractively,
it has to be correctly adjusted:
1. Make sure the air pressure in the tyres is correct:
Front: 0.4 bar (6 psi).
Rear: 1.2 bar (17 psi).
2. Place the machine on a level floor. Undo the
screws on either side of the deck (fig. 6).
3. On the side of the deck arm are four short and
two long lines. The upper long line (A) is the basic
setting for a machine with 16” tyres. The lower (B)
for a machine with 17” tyres (fig. 7).
Note: Villa has 16” wheels.
Depending on the length of the grass, the deck can
be adjusted in various ways:
4a. Cutting normal length grass:
Adjustthedecksothatthefrontandrearedgeof
the cover are the same height above the floor. This
position gives the best ‘Multiclip effect’, i.e. the
grass is cut up best.
4b. Cutting long grass:
Adjust the deck so that the cover’s rear edge is
higher than the front edge. This position means
that the deck can release the grass more easily at
the rear edge.

5. After setting, tighten the screws properly.
USE
CUTTING HEIGHT
The cutting height can be varied between a number
of fixed positions, from 30 to 85 mm.
Item no. 13-2934:
The cutting height is continuously variable from
30 to 85 mm.
Note: Stated cutting heights apply when the
machine is on a firm surface.
CUTTING TIPS
For optimum ‘Multiclip effect’, follow these tips:
- cut frequently.
- run the motor at full revs.
- keep the underside of the cutting deck clean.
- use sharp blades.
- do not cut wet grass.
- cut twice (with different cutting heights) if
the grass is long.
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
PREPARATIONS
Unless otherwise stated, all service and
maintenance must be carried out on a stationary
machine when the motor is not running.
Prevent the machine from rolling by
always applying the parking brake.
Prevent unintentional starting of the
motor by always stopping the motor,
disconnecting the spark plug cable
from the spark plug and earthing it.
Disconnect the negative cable from the
battery.
LUBRICATION
The deck arms are equipped with grease nipples
(fig. 8).
Lubricate these after every 25 hours of operation
(or at least once per season) with universal grease.
MAINTENANCE TIPS
To make cleaning and maintenance easier, thecutting deck can be folded up:
1. Set the cutting height setting to the maximum
cutting height.
2. Lift the rear edge of the deck with one hand (fig.
9).
3. Push up the catch and release the rear edge of the
deck (fig. 9).
4. Repeat the procedure on the other side.
5. Secure the tensioning arm on the hook.
6. Force the belt off the machine’s pulley.
7. Fold up the deck to the vertical position (fig. 10).
Whenthedeckisfoldeddowntoworkingposition,
ensure that the catch drops down into position
when the rear edge of the deck is lifted up (fig. 4).
CLEANING
After each use, the underside of the cutting deck
should be rinsed off.
If the grass has dried solid, scrape clean the
underside.
If necessary, paint the underside to prevent
corrosion.
BLADES
Use protective gloves when changing
blades to avoid cutting yourself.
Ensure that the blades are always sharp. This
produces the best cutting results.
Always check the blades after a collision. If the
blade system has been damaged, defective parts
should be replaced.
Always use original spare parts. Non-
original spare parts can entail a risk of
injury, even if they fit the machine.
Install the blades according to fig. 11
where the blade edge is marked. The folded-up
edge of the blade should be positioned inwards
towards the blade mount.
The cutting system comprises two blade bars with
two replaceable blades Y (fig. 12). When replacing
blades, both should be replaced to avoid
imbalance.
Install the new blades. Tighten screws V and W
properly. Tightening torque: V - 9.8 Nm, W - 24

ENGLISHGB
Nm.
In the event of a powerful collision, the blades may
be bent out. Undo the locking nut X and fold back
the blade. Install a new original break bolt V.
Tighten the locking nuts X and Z.
POSITIVE DRIVE BELT
Both blades are powered inside the deck by a
positive drive belt.
If one of the blades has struck a solid object (e.g. a
stone), the belt tension may be altered. This can
lead to the positive drive belt ‘over-meshing’
which, in the long term, can damage the blades.
Following a powerful collision, always
check that both blades are at right-
angles to each other (fig. 11).
The working areas of the blades overlap each
other. If the blades’ position in relation to each
other has been altered, there is a considerable risk
of the blades striking each other. This can entail
serious damage to the cutting deck.
If this is the case, take the machine and cutting
deck to a service workshop for repair and
inspection.
