MAINTENANCE
Service position for the cutting unit
The cutting unit can be set in a service position to
provide good access for cleaning, servicing and
repair. The service position means that the unit is
raised and locked in the vertical position.
Placing in the service position
1. Position the unit so it hangs over the outer
hooks by carrying out sections 1–11 under
“Dismantling the unit”.
2. Take hold of the front edge of the unit and lift it
vertically. The unit is automatically locked in the
vertical position.

Checking the blades
To achieve the best mowing results it is important
that the blades are undamaged and well-
sharpened.
Check that the blades’ attachment screws are tight,
(45–60 Nm, 33–44 lb.ft)
The spring washer and break-pin should also be
replaced when replacing the blades.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Replacing or sharpening the blades
should be conducted by an authorised
service workshop.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The Bioclip unit should always have the
blades in the relative positions shown in
the diagram, with a 90° angle between the
blades. Otherwise the blades can go
against each other and cause serious
damage to the unit.
Releasing from the service position
1. Loosen the top edge of the unit (move it
backwards), move the handle forwards and
slowly lower the unit to its horizontal position.
2. Slide the unit into its working position by
carrying out sections 4–8 under “Assembling
the unit”.
