2. Check that the deck mounts are installed on the

machine as follows.

• Washer (3:D). Only machines up to and in-

cluding 2006.

• Deck mount (3:C).

• Washer (3:B).

• Circlip (3:A).

3. Screw the arms into each other. See fig. 5.

4. Remove the belt cover (6:H) by loosening the

screws 6:I.

5. Loosen the belt guide screws (7, 8:K) a couple

of turns.

6. Set the maximum cutting height.

7. Work off the belt from the cutting deck pulley.

8. Fit the belt to the machine pulley and after that

to the cutting deck pulley.

9. Tighten the belt guide screws (7, 8:K).

10.Tension the belt as follows.

XK4-serie:

Grip the belt tensioner’s lever with your left

hand. Pull the lever and apply the tensioner to

the outside of the belt with your right hand. See

fig.9.

Tension the belt with the belt idler. The belt

idler should be on the inside of the belt and pull

out to the left (viewed from the driver’s posi-

tion). See fig. 11.

11.Install the belt cover (6:H) with the screws (6:I).

12.Suspend the unit in the implement lifter. See

fig. 13.

13.Perform the cutting deck basic setting. See 3.5.

3.2 XK-serie with fixed deck con-

nections

Example of fixed deck connections, see 3:C and

4:G.

1. Place the deck in position in front of the ma-

chine.

2. Check that the deck mounts are installed on the

machine as follows.

• Deck mount (4:G).

• Washer (4:F).

• Lock pin (4:E).

3. Screw the arms into each other. See fig. 5.

4. 5.Set the maximum cutting height.

5. Locate the belt around the machine’s belt pul-

ley.

6. Tension the belt as follows.

Tension the belt with the belt idler. The belt

idler should be on the left side of the belt

viewed from the driver’s position. See fig. 10.

7. Suspend the unit in the implement lifter. See fig.

13.

8. Perform the cutting deck basic setting. See 3.5.

3.3 Tyre pressure

Adjust the tyre pressures according to the table be-

low.

3.4 Basic setting

In order for the cutting deck to cut optimally, the

correct basic setting is required. The deck is in the

basic setting when its rear edge is 5 mm above its

front edge. This means that the deck is inclined

forwards.

Move the deck to the basic setting by lifting and

securing as follows.

Install the washers and the pins in the middle hole.

See fig. 15.

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. 14.

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 Basic setting

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. See 3.5.

4.2.2 Greater inclination

When the cutting deck is inclined forwards, the

“Multiclip” effect is reduced while the cut grass is

dispersed better.

Inclining forwards is recommended for thicker

grass.
