3.2 Belt
The cutting deck’s rear section should rest on the
floor (it should not be lifted or secured).
Install the belt as follows:
1. Set the maximum cutting height.
2. Locate the belt around the machine’s belt pulley
(8:B).
3. Tension the belt with the belt idler (8:A)B. The
belt idler should be on the left side of the belt
viewed from the driver’s position.
4. Lift up and secure the rear section of the cutting
deck.
On machines with 17” wheels: Install the wash-
ers and the pins in the top hole. See fig. 2.
On machines with 16” wheels: Install the wash-
ers and the pins in the middle hole. See fig. 2.
3.3 Tyre pressure
Adjust the air pressure in the tyres as follows:
Front: 0.6 bar (9 psi).
Rear: 0.4 bar (6 psi).
4 USING THE MACHINE
Check that the grass that is to be cut is
completely free of foreign objects such
as stones etc.
4.1 Cutting height
The best cutting results are achieved when the
when the top third of the grass is cut off. I.e. 2/3 of
the length of the grass remains. See fig. 9.
If the grass is long and has to be cut significantly,
cut twice using different cutting heights.
Do not use the lowest cutting heights if the lawn
surface is uneven. This would entail a risk of the
blades being damaged against the surface and the
lawn’s top layer of soil being removed.
4.2 Incline
The cutting deck’s rear section can be lifted so that
the deck has a greater forward incline than that
provided by the basic setting. This incline affects
the cutting results as follows.
4.2.1 No incline
When the deck is in the basic setting, the best
mulching effect and good dispersion of the cut
grass are achieved. The basic setting is recom-
mended for normal grass.
4.2.2 Incline
When the cutting deck is inclined forwards, the
mulching effect is reduced while the cut grass is
dispersed better.
Inclining forwards is recommended for thicker
grass.
4.3 Mowing advice
In order to achieve optimum mowing results, fol-
low the advice below:
• Cut frequently.
• Run the engine at full throttle.
• The grass should be dry.
• Use sharp blades.
• Keep the underside of the cutting deck clean.
125 Combi Pro can cut the grass in the following
two ways:
• Mulching: composting and spreading.
• Rear ejection: ejects the grass in a line behind
the deck.
The deck is set for mulching on delivery. In order
to eject the grass in a line behind the deck, the plug
in fig. 6 must be removed.
Set the deck in service position (see 5.3) in order to
remove/install the plug.
5 MAINTENANCE
5.1 Preparation
All service and all maintenance must be carried out
on a stationary machine with the engine switched
off.
Prevent the machine from rolling by al-
ways applying the parking brake.
Stop the engine.
Prevent unintentional starting of the
engine by disconnecting the spark plug
cable from the spark plug and remov-
ing the ignition key.
5.2 Washing position
1. Activate the parking brake.
2. Set the implement lifter in transport position.
3. Set the highest cutting height.
4. Remove pins and washers. See fig. 2.
5. Grip the front edge of the deck and lift up. Hook
on the chain so that the deck is pointing diago-
nally upwards. See fig. 10.
It is absolutely forbidden to start the engine
when the deck is in the washing position.
Reset in accordance with 3.2, point 4.
