Cable Adjustment
Before the machine is being used, the cable adjustment
should always be checked.
The cables can be checked by activating the handles
fully and check if the cable is tight. If not, it must be
tightened. If the handle cannot easily be fully activated,
the cable should be loosened.
After first season, it must be expected that the cables
need to be adjusted for optimal activation, as cables
can stretch when used.
The following cables may be necessary to readjust:
Illustration A1
1. Cable for drive
2. Cable for engine brake
3. Cable for throttle cable
Note: The choke cable cannot be adjusted!
Adjusting the drive cable: Illustration A1-1
If you experience slack in the drive cable, this can be
solved simply by tighten or loosen the bolt on the cable.
1. Tighten turning clockwise - loosen the cable.
2. Tighten turning anti clockwise - tighten the cable.
Adjusting the engine brake cable: Illustration A1-2
If you experience slack in engine brake cable, this can
be solved simply by tighten or loosen the bolt on the
engine block.
Adjusting the throttle cable: Illustration A1-3
If you experience slack in revolution cable, this can be
solved simply by tighten or loosen the bolt on the
engine block.
Battery (Electric starter)*
Charge the battery before use
Before the electric start function is used, the battery
must be charged for 5 hours. Put the charger plug into
the hole in the battery and connect the charger to a
power supply. See illustration. A4
Charging during the season
The battery is not charged during use, so it will likely be
necessary to charge the battery a couple of times
during the season - depending if the number of
start/stops of the engine. Put it for charging for around 5
hours.
Storage of battery
The battery must always be stored dry and warm during
the winter. Never expose it for low temperatures.
Charge the battery completely before storing and then
place the lawn mower in a place where it is not exposed
to frost. Alternatively cover the battery with a thick
carpet or similar, If the mower is in a shed/garage
where there may be cold.
Charge the battery 1-2 times during the winter (at least
rd
every 3 month) to make sure the battery keeps it full
capacity.
Incorrect storage can damage the battery, and is not
covered by warranty.
* Note: Not all models have electric starter
