Installing the mowing
blade
CAUTION
Risk of injury!
Always wear
gloves.
21
Install the
17= mowing blade with the
curved wings pointing
upwards.
For installation, use a
16= wooden block (approx.
60 x 60 mm) to
counterhold the mowing
blade.
Tighten the
18= blade fastening screw to
a torque of 10 - 15 Nm.
Risk of injury!
Observe the specified
torque of 10 - 15 Nm when
tightening the blade
fastening screws, as the
secure attachment of the
cutting tool depends on this.
Additionally secure the
blade fastening screw (18)
with Loctite 243.
Adjusting the wheel
drive cable
22
Maintenance interval:
As required (wheel drive
does not engage when the
wheel drive lever is
actuated)
The tension of the cable is
adjusted correctly at the
factory. However, the cable
may have to be adjusted
again following an extended
period of use.
The adjustment is made
via an
21= adjustment screw located
on the left of the upper
handlebar.
Correct adjustment:
Actuate the drive lever while
pulling the lawn mower
backwards.
The driving wheels must lock
after approx. one third of the
lever travel.
The cable tension is
increased by turning the
21= adjustment screw in the
“+” direction, turning it in
the “-” direction reduces
the tension.
CAUTION
Risk of injury!
If, when pulling back, the
driving wheels are locked
when the drive lever is not
actuated, the cable is
adjusted incorrectly and the
mower drive is permanently
activated.
As a result, the mower may
start to move unintentionally
immediately when started
and this may result in injury
or damage to the appliance.
The adjustment must be
repeated (if necessary,
contact a specialist dealer;
VIKING recommends VIKING
specialist dealers).
Storage
(winter break)
The storage room should be
dry and free of dust. The
mower should also be stored
out of reach of children.
Any appliance faults must be
remedied prior to storage in
order to maintain a safe
operating condition.
Note the following points
when storing the mower for
long periods (winter break):
- Carefully clean all external
parts of the appliance.
- Thoroughly
lubricate/grease all moving
parts.
