airborne debris is present or after extensive operation
cutting tall, dry grass.
Daily
- Clean grass debris from the height of cut ratchet,
air filter in the cowl and the underside of the deck
housing.
- Check the condition of guards and safety devices.
- Check condition of cutterblade.
- Check condition of grassbag and ensure airways are
clear (replace if damaged).
25 - 50 Hours Or Every Season
- Lubricate pivot points and linkages with oil.
- Check the cables / switch and connection.
- Sharpen the cutterblade.
- Flash test (Dealer) to ensure complete safety.
Grassbag
Remove grass debris from the grassbag immediately
after use and check its condition for signs of damage.
To prevent accidents replace a damaged grassbag
immediately.
(Refer fig.13)
Deck Housing
Remove grass debris from the top and underside of the
deck housing immediately after use.
(Refer fig.14)
Fertilisers and top dressings are particularly corrosive.
Thoroughly clean the mower deck immediately after
use on treated grass and store well away from corrosive
materials.
Securing Nuts & Bolts
Regularly check that all securing nuts and bolts are tight.
Replace missing or damaged items immediately.
Bolt - Cutterblade fixing torque 20Nm
Plastic screws - Bottom of handlebar torque 3.5Nm
General screws - Used on plastic parts 1.5Nm
(Note: Use manual hand tools only)
Lubrication
Lubricate the pivot points and linkages with oil every 25
operating hours.
Cutterblade Removal
Turn the mower on it’s side.
Firmly grip the end of the cutterblade (2) with a gloved
hand and remove bolt (1). When replacing, ensure that
the new cutterblade is the correct way up with the turned
edges facing towards the motor before locating onto
the two carrier pins. Secure the cutterblade fixing nylon
bolt and tighten to the specified torque of 20Nm.
(Refer
fig.15)
The cutterblade has sharp edges. ALWAYS wear
strong gloves to protect your hands when working
on the cutterblade. DO NOT rotate tools towards the
cutting edges to avoid the risk of injury should the
tool slip. ALWAYS use genuine Hayter replacement
parts.
The condition of the cutterblade and its mounting ar-
rangement should be checked regularly for signs of wear
or damage. Ensure that the cutterblade is not bent or
cracked.
A damaged cutterblade that is out of balance will vibrate
excessively and may break. DO NOT use an unbalanced
cutterblade.
Regularly check that the bolt securing the cutterblade is
tightened to the specified torque of 20Nm.
