6.3.3 ADJUSTMENT TO THE ENGAGEMENT AND BRAKE OF THE BLADES
When the lever is operated to disengage
the blades, this also activates the blade
brake for stopping the blades within a few
seconds.
A stretched cable and changes in the
length of the belt can impair the blades’
engagement or rotation.
To compensate this, turn the adjusting nut
(1) till the correct spring length (2) is
reached (measured from the outer coils of the spring with the blades engaged).
6.3.4 B
RAKE ADJUSTMENT
If the brakes should seem to be weak, immediately seek advice from your Dealer.
6.3.5 A
DJUSTING THE TENSION OF THE DRIVE BELT
If you should notice that forward drive
power has dropped, it will be necessary to
adjust the tension of the spring of the
stretcher to return to former conditions.
Access for making this adjustment is by
opening the engine hood; the adjuster is
located at the right side of the engine.
Turn properly the nuts (2) as much as
necessary for a length “A” of the spring
(1) of:
A = 119 - 121 mm ( For mechanical drive models)
A = 120 - 122 mm ( For hydrostatic drive models)
measured to the outside of the coil of the spring. When the adjustment has been
made, tighten the nuts (2).
