7. CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS
Check - Removing and sharpening the blade
Stop the motor. Disconnect the spark plug cable to avoid
any sudden and unwanted motor start-ups.
Fold the mower on the left side or on the opposite side to
the spark plug to avoid clogging problems.
Check: carefully examine the degree of sharpening and
wear on the blade, especially near folds.
Since sand or other material can cause wear, frequently
check the blade. If abnormalities are detected, replace
the blade. a -

Check: tightly grip one end of the blade (wear gloves to
prevent cutting), unscrew the bolt (7), remove the washer
(8) and then the blade (9).
Sharpening: sharpen the blade if the cutters are
deteriorated and the blade is in good condition. Use a
grindstone for sharpening and check that the blade is
still balanced after this operation. Excessive vibrations
will be caused if it is not balanced. Be careful not to cut
yourself. Contact an IBEA service centre with any
questions.
Assemble the blade (9) centring it on the support. Position
the washer (8) and tighten the bolt (7).

Transporter cable adjustment
Adjust the transporter engagement cable at first use. In any
case, this must be adjusted only in the event that, with the
motor running, upon transporter handle operation the wheels
fail to provide a prompt response and it seems that the clutch
is slipping.
Adjustment is carried out by loosening the 2 nuts (11), turning
the upper nut twice in a counter-clockwise direction, and
then re-tightening it with the counter-nut. This operation can
be repeated if it does not prove effective.
After regulation, always check that the rear wheels rotate
freely with the motor off and when pulling back the machine
without operating the transporter handle.
