Instruccions de funcionament
These 3-in-1 blades are designed for mulching, bagging, and side discharge operations. The specific method of operation depends on your mower's configuration and accessories.
- Mulching: When mulching, the blades are designed to cut grass into fine clippings that are then recirculated back into the lawn as natural fertilizer. Ensure your mower's mulching plug or baffle is correctly installed.
- Ensacat: For bagging operations, attach the grass collection bag to your mower. The blades will create airflow to direct clippings into the bag.
- Descàrrega lateral: If your mower is set up for side discharge, the blades will propel clippings out of the side chute.
Always operate your mower according to its owner's manual. Avoid mowing wet grass, as it can clog the deck and reduce cutting performance.
Manteniment
Regular maintenance of your blades ensures optimal cutting performance and safety.
- Fulles netes: Després de cada ús, netegeu els retalls d'herba i les restes de les fulles i la part inferior de la plataforma de la segadora. Això evita l'oxidació i manté l'equilibri.
- Inspeccionar per danys: Regularly inspect blades for bends, cracks, or excessive wear. Damaged blades should be replaced immediately.
- Afilat: Blades should be sharpened periodically to maintain a clean cut. If sharpening, ensure the blade remains balanced. An unbalanced blade can cause excessive vibration and damage to the mower. If you are unsure how to sharpen blades correctly, consult a professional.
- Emmagatzematge: When storing the mower for extended periods, ensure blades are clean, dry, and lightly oiled to prevent rust.
