1.4.3 Working with the Machine
1.4.3.1 The Machine Working Width
It is always necessary to adjust the working width to the growth density!
machine through the terrain sufficiently straight and accurately to cut the growth stand over the full width of the disk. We recommend that
the machine be guided partially through cut growth per the arrow in Fig. 13.
1.4.3.2 Growth Cutting Method
The growth must be free of solid items (such as stones, wires, loose debris, etc.) before using the machine. These items could be thrown out or could damage the machine. If they cannot be removed, avoid such spots.
When mowing in uneven terrain, care must be taken to ensure that the bottom disc continuously slides over the ground and does not bounce. Disc bouncing results in a low-quality of growth mowing and uneven stubble.
Set the maximum engine speed, let the cutting disc spin at maximum speed, and then drive against the growth that you want to mow.
The mowed growth is ejected by the cutting disc to the right, on the side cover that defines rows.
When mowing, move through the growth so that the growth that is not mowed yet is always on the left side of the machine
When mowing on slopes, it is best to ride along the slope contour lines.
Observe safe slope access ( Table 3)!
If the cut growth is very dense, prickly, rotten or beaten, it is necessary to reduce the machine’s working width proportionally in such a way that there is no significant reduction in cutting disk speed and thus reduced mowing quality.
1.4.3.2.1 Mowing Troubles
Pay special caution when lifting and backing the machine!
The engine must always be OFF when cleaning the area under the top cover!
Always only tilt the machine backwards on the handlebar by pushing the handlebar downwards. Always pay extra caution when moving in the area under the raised machine! Secure it against spontaneous movement!
Take extra care when cleaning the space underneath the top cover. Blade cutting edges are sharp. When cleaning, protect your hands with work gloves or use a suitable item, such as a tree branch.
Always wait for the cutting disc to stop before proceeding with any activity on or around the machine.

The disc loses speed, the engine loses speed, but does not stop.
Immediately stop the machine travel and slightly back-up with the machine front gently lifted (pushing the handlebar downwards). The space underneath the top cover partially cleans itself from the excessive grass mass. Then move again against the growth.
2.
The drive stopped, the engine turned OFF.
Release both levers on the handlebars and lift the front of the machine by pushing on the handlebars. Slide the machine slightly backward. Clean the area under the top cover and spread the grass mass on the surface. Start the engine, turn on the cutting disk drive, and start moving against the growth.
1.5 Maintenance, Care, Storage
Owing to the weight of the machine, all maintenance and adjustment shall be performed by two people.
To secure a long-term satisfaction with our product, it is necessary to provide it with due care and maintenance. By providing regular maintenance you will prevent its rapid wear and you will secure correct operation of all its parts.
Observe all instructions concerning maintenance and adjusting intervals. We recommend that you keep records of operating hours and the conditions under which the machine is used (these may be useful for servicing centres). We recommend that you have the post-season maintenance implemented by one of our authorized service centres; the same applies to standard maintenance if you are not certain of your technical capabilities.
Before each use of the machine, check the tightening of the screws securing the blades in the upper disk and also the screws fixing the lower disk to the flange.
1.5.1 Travel Wheels
The travel wheels are an important part of the machine. The wheels carry the entire weight of the machine, transmit the engine power, and engage the machine. The wheels contain tubes.
1.5.1.1 Tyre Pressure
For proper operation and to ensure a long service life of the travel wheels, especially the tyres, it is necessary to check the tyre pressure.
Perform the check before starting to work with the machine. Before the machine is shut down for a long time, apply the maximum tyre pressure.
Keep the same pressure in the left and right wheels – the machine better holds a straight track.
11
EN English
Do not exceed the maximum tyre pressure – there is a risk of the tyre explosion!
MAX imum ( recommended) tyre pressure: 23 PSI ( 160 kPa or 1,6 bar or 1,57 atm or 0,16 MPa )
MIN
imum 23 allowed tyre pressure:
18 PSI (124,1 kPa or 1,24 bar or 1,22 atm or 0,124 MPa)
If there is a permanent tyre pressure leakage, make sure that there is no defect on the tyre tube – repair it if necessary.
If you are not sufficiently manually skilled, have the operations done by an authorized service centre.
1.5.2 Machine Lubrication
When working with lubricants, observe the basic hygiene regulations and observe the environmental protection regulations and laws.
If you are not sufficiently manually skilled, have the operations done by an authorized service centre.
In order to secure trouble-free and easy movement of all mechanical parts, it is necessary to pay adequate attention to lubrication. A few drops of oil are usually enough (e.g. oil for bicycles). The gearbox is already factory-filled with a sufficient amount of oil, which is not necessary to change over the life of the machine. Check the oil level and refill oil in case of any leakage.
1.5.2.1 Engine Oil Change
If you are not manually skilled enough, entrust this work to a specialist workshop.
Follow the instructions stated in the motor operating instructions. Shorten the change interval to one half, if you are to use your machine in a dusty environment. When pouring oil out of the engine, tilt the machine to the side where the oil spout is fitted or disassemble the entire engine.
1.5.2.2 Lubrication Points
There is no need to remove any covers from the machine to lubricate the bowden cables on the handlebar. The other lubrication points may be reached after removing the plastic covers. From a wide range of oils, any engine or gear oil or spray oil is suitable for lubrication. When selecting plastic lubricants (grease) any lubricant intended for water pump lubrication is sufficient. However, its application usually requires the dismantling of the respective slide.
Note: When using plastic grease with graphite ingredient, the lubrication intervals may be extended during the season up to 25 hours .

1.5.3 Sharpening and Replacement of Working Blades
If you are not manually skilled enough, entrust this work to a specialist workshop.
Note: In the case of any unprofessional repair of blades using other than original parts, the manufacturer is not liable for any damages on the machine or caused by your machine. The blade is embossed with a sign that indicates the manufacturer and is a check mark that the blade is an original spare part.
The machine must be placed on a hard horizontal surface and must be secured so that there is good access to the blade and machine would not start moving unexpectedly.
Take special care when removing the blades. Blade cutting edges are sharp. Protect your hands with working gloves.
The engine must be switched OFF and the spark plug cable end removed!
1) Hold the top disc to prevent it from rotating and remove the blade screw connection with a tubular spanner No. 16 ( 2 , 3 and
4 ). First unscrew the nut 2 and then the screw 3 .
2) Remove the blade 1 and blade mounting parts from the cutting disk. Straighten the edges and sharpen the blade cutting edges.
The inclination of the sharpened edge should be 30° with respect to the blade’s bottom plane.
3) Make sure all the blade mounting parts feature no visible damage. Otherwise, replace damaged parts with new ones.
4) Screw the blade screw assembly back in. The screw 3
must be tightened 25 firmly. Lock the screw with its nut
2 .
23 If the tyre pressure is lower than the minimum, the tyre-casing structure will be damaged and the service life will be significantly reduced.
24 The blades have two edges - they may be rotated as needed. In any case, the blade must be undamaged.
25 Insufficient screw tightening leads in most cases to the destruction of the hardened pad around which the blade rotates.

AS 625 KM / AS 585 KM
If any blade is bent or excessively worn, you must always replace all the cutting disc blades!
1.5.4 Belt Transmissions - Automatic Brake
The machine is equipped with modern design belts that do not require special care. It is only necessary to check them regularly, and when there are cracks or tears on the belt surface, replace them. The factory setting of the tensioning pulleys must be checked after the first approximately 5 hours of operation when the belt is breaking in. During breaking in, it is necessary to check the function of the tensioning pulleys to prevent the tensioning pulley from being damaged due to the extension of the belt to its damage. It is also necessary to check the automatic brake function during the run-in.
You may verify the correct function of belt drives in a simple way: a) The machine with its travel turned ON has to overcome the terrain unevenness of 10 cm high - curb is suitable, for example.
b) The engine that is started when the drive drive clutch is pressed quickly goes OFF. The belt starts to drive (the disc starts to rotate) already at the 1/3 of the drive lever clutch step.
If at least one of the checks failed, it is necessary to adjust the tensioning pulleys!
1.5.4.1 Adjusting of tension pulleys
If you are not manually skilled enough, entrust this work to a specialist workshop.
Per a):
the terrain inequality and visually check which belt is slipping.
1) If the belt A slips on the machine's right side , tension it through unscrewing the screw 1
in the direction of the arrow (away from the frame) for about 1 mm and repeat the check per 1.5.4 a). Continue with the tensioning until condition 1.5.4 a) is met, and the machine is not moving forward when the travel clutch lever is released.
If it is no longer possible to unscrew the bolt 1 , screw it fully against the direction of the arrow and hook the spring at the end of the cable into the distal hole in the pulley arm. Then, repeat the belt tensioning till condition 1.5.4 a) is met.
2) If the belt B slips between the engine and gearbox , tension it with the tensioning pulley. Release the tensioning pulley by releasing the nut 4 located on the motor plate and tension the pulley in the direction of the arrow, using a suitable tool
(such as a screwdriver). Once tensioned, tighten the nut. Then check the correct travel gear operation.
As soon as you cannot adjust the tensioning pulleys so that the belt does not slip, the belt must be replaced.
Per b):
Remove the front plastic cover to see the drive belt and disk drive pulley ( Fig. 16). (Labels
2 and 3
20 are common and belong to the same bowden cable.)
1)
Tension the belt by unscrewing the crew 27

for Fig. 20 about 1 mm in the arrow direction (away from the frame) and repeat
the check per 1.5.4 b). Continue with the tensioning till condition 1.5.4 b) is met. When the disk drive clutch lever is turned OFF the belt must be at rest, and it must not vibrate or move.
If the screw 3

If you are not manually skilled enough, entrust this work to a specialist workshop.
1.5.4.2 Brake function check and adjustment
Check the automatic brake function after every 10 hours of operation. (You may perform a continuous check at work.) Whenever the disk drive clutch lever is released, the automatic brake must stop the spinning disk within 5 seconds.
Do not continue working with the machine until you clear the automatic brake fault.
If you are not manually skilled enough, entrust this work to a specialist workshop.
If the brake does not stop the spinning disk in the aforementioned time range, the brake bowden cable adjusted 2
The adjustment screw that secures the brake bowden cable 2 to the machine frame in
Fig. 20 must be screwed in against the arrow
direction (towards the frame), so that the axle clearance of the bowden bolt in the adjustment screw is 1 mm. Then check the automatic brake function. If it is not possible to achieve sufficient brake performance by screwing the bolt 2 , fully, screw the brake bolt adjusting screw on the handlebar so that the axle clearance of the bowden bolt in the adjusting screw is 1 mm and then check the automatic brake
26 Můžete využít i šroubu na opačném konci bowdenu upevněného k příčce řídítek. V tomto případě ho šroubujte směrem od příčky řídítek.
27 You can also use the screw on the opposite end of the Bowden cable attached to the handlebar traverse. In such an event, screw it away from the handlebar traverse.
28 Use exclusively genuine replacement parts. Proper gear function cannot be guaranteed when using V-belts from different manufacturers.
29 May be performed in the opposite way – first screw in (towards the handlebar traverse) Brake bowden cable screw on the handles so the axial clearance is 1 mm in the adjustment screw.
30 The condition of the axial clearance of the brake cable in the adjusting screw is met.
