Training
1. Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with controls and the use of equipment. 2. Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to operate the mower. 3. Never mow while people, especially children or pets, are nearby. 4. The operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property. 5. Do not carry passengers. 6. All drivers should seek to obtain professional and practical instruction. In addition the following should be noted: The need for care and concentration when working with this machine. Control of a tractor sliding on a slope; control will not be regained by applying the brake. The main reasons for loss of control are: i. Insufficient wheel grip ii. Driving too fast iii. Operating on steep slopes (max 15) iv. Incorrect load distribution

Preparation
1. Check that the machine complies with all applicable regulations, including those in force when used on the public highway. 2. When mowing, always wear substantial footwear and long trousers. Do not operate when barefoot or with sandals. 3. Thoroughly inspect the area where the tractor is to be used and remove all stones, sticks, wires and bones or any other foreign objects. 4. WARNING petrol and diesel are highly flammable: Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose. Re-fuel outdoors only and do not smoke while refuelling. Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the cap from the fuel tank or add diesel while the engine is running or when engine is hot. If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away from the area of spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition until petrol or diesel vapours have dissipated. Replace the fuel cap securely.

5. Replace faulty silencers. 6. Before using, always inspect to see that the blades, bolts and cutter assembly are not worn or damaged. 7. Check the condition of the tyres and ensure that they are inflated to the correct pressures (refer to pages 25-27). This is particularly important if the machine is to be taken on the public highway. 8. Check that the mower is in good working order, paying special attention to brakes, steering, water and oil. 9. Check that all linkages, connections and pivot nuts are secure and that the wheel nuts are tightened correctly.

Safety
1. Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with controls and the use of equipment. 2. Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous fumes can collect. 3. Mow only in daylight or in very good artificial light. 4. Before starting the engine, disengage blade and attachment drives and make sure handbrake is engaged. 5. Take care on slopes maximum 15. 6. Remember, there is no such thing as a safe slope. Travel on grass slopes requires particular care to guard against overturning: Do not stop or start suddenly when going up or downhill. Engage drive slowly. Always keep the machine in drive when travelling up or down a slope. Machine speed should be kept low on slopes and in tight turns. Stay alert for humps and hollows and other hidden hazards. Avoid mowing across the face of a slope. Apply the Parking Brake. Stop the engine and remove the ignition key. 13. Always disengage drive to attachments, stop the engine and remove the ignition key before: Cleaning blockages. Checking, cleaning or working on the mower. Refuelling. Removing the Grass Collector. After striking a foreign object inspect the mower for damage and make any repairs before restarting the tractor. If the machine starts to vibrate abnormally, check immediately and call your dealer if necessary.

Also:

14. Disengage drive to attachments when transporting or not in use. 15. Reduce the throttle setting during engine run-out. 16. Never work on the mower when the engine is running.

Always:
Use good common sense at all times and to ensure this tractor is safe and serviceable fit only original manufacturers supplied spares. Inspect the area to be cut, note the position of any stumps, drain covers, bumps or depressions and avoid them to prevent damaging the blades. Ensure the fuel tank is full before you start the machine. ONLY use the specified fuel for your machine. Disconnect both battery terminals before attempting any work in the engine compartment. Leave the tractor unattended and running. Put hands near moving blades, belts or the Power Take-Off pulley while they are rotating.

7. Watch out for traffic when crossing or working near roadways. 8. Stop the blades rotating before crossing roadways. 9. When using the machine, never direct discharge or material towards bystanders or allow anyone near the machine while in operation. 10. Never operate the mower with defective guards, shields or without protective safety devices in place and in good working order. 11. Do not change governor settings to increase the speed of the engine. Operating an engine at excessive speed increases the risk of injury. 12. Before leaving the operators position: Disengage the drive to the cutter blades and attachments, then lower the attachments.

Seat Adjustment
(Fig. 1)

The seat on your tractor is adjustable forward and backward to suit the operator. Simply lift the seat latch at the side of the seat and slide the seat forward or backward as appropriate. Always ensure the seat is latched back into position before driving off. For the C330 Mini tractor simply lift the seat latch at the front of the seat and slide the seat forward or backward as appropriate (Fig. 1a).

fig. 1
Seat Lever

fig. 1a Choke
(Fig. 2)

An independent choke is fitted to some models. This choke should be used in conjunction with a fast throttle setting when starting the engine from cold. It should be cancelled as soon as possible. Do not use the choke when starting a warm engine.

Ignition

(Figs. 3, 6 & 11)

The key start controls the ignition and the start button engages the starter. The engine cannot be started without the park brake being on; the P light (Fig. 11) indicates the brake is engaged (not applicable to C330 Mini). When starting your tractor from cold, turn the key to the I position (on Diesel models, an automatic timer will put the glow plugs on for 7 seconds (Fig. 6)). Once the cycle has finished press the start button to start the Tractor. Release the button when the engine starts. To stop the engine, turn the key to the left (having first switched off both the cutter and Power Takeoff). To prevent unauthorised use, always remove the key after use. THE IGNITION MUST ALWAYS BE TURNED OFF AND LEFT FOR AT LEAST TWO SECONDS BEFORE THE TRACTOR CAN BE RE-STARTED.

Engine Speed Control
(Fig. 4)

The lever is pushed up for FAST( ) and down for SLOW ( ). On some models the choke control is above the fast setting, a cold engine is started on the Choke setting, a warm one on the FAST setting. The Choke setting should be cancelled as soon as possible. The engine should be operated on the FAST setting at all times. Please note: D50-LN model has no choke (Fig. 4a)

fig. 4

RPM Meter (not applicable to C330 Mini) (Fig. 5)

The RPM monitor on the electronic display indicates the engine speed. This feature should be used when the cutter deck is engaged and in conjunction with the forward speed. To ensure complete cutting and collection the engine speed should not be allowed to fall below 2600rpm, the display will flash should this happen. If, when in use, the display does flash indicating that the engine speed has dropped below 2600rpm, there are two options: a) Reduce forward speed b) Raise the cutting height.

Drive Controls
(Fig. 7)

The forward speed of the tractor is controlled by foot pedal A. Reversing is controlled by foot pedal B.

fig. 7

Moving Off / Reversing

(Figs. 7 & 7a)

To move off, ensure your feet are off pedals A and B and then release the parking brake by pushing the hand lever C (Fig. 7a) to the forward position. Now gently depress pedal A and you will move off. The further you depress pedal A the faster you will go. Its function is similar to that of a car accelerator except that it controls the hydrostatic transmission and does not affect the speed of the engine. To reverse simply depress pedal B and the tractor will begin to reverse. As with the forward pedal, the speed of reversing is increased as the pedal is pushed further.

Pedal A

Stopping
To stop the tractor simply release either pedal A or B and the natural braking of the hydrostatic system will bring the tractor to a standstill. For smooth braking release either pedal gradually, for an emergency stop remove foot rapidly. Pedal B

fig. 7a

Parking

(Figs. 7 & 7a)

Lever C

Neutral Valve

(Fig. 8)

The natural braking of hydrostatic transmission means that it is not possible to easily push or freewheel the tractor. To disengage, first make certain that the machine is on a flat even surface. Release the parking brake by moving lever C forward. Locate the Neutral Valve, situated on the back plate near the towing bracket. Engage by pulling out the lever. You will now be able to push the tractor at a speed not exceeding 2 mph. Make sure you disengage the Neutral Valve by pushing the lever back BEFORE starting your tractor.

Differential Lock (where fitted)

(Fig. 9)

Your tractor may be fitted with a differential lock. This should only be used in situations where one wheel is slipping and the other is not. In a situation when one wheel starts to slip and extra traction is required release the forward pedal so the wheels stop going around, depress the Differential Lock pedal (Fig. 9 pedal D), and then the forward pedal slowly. The differential will lock both wheels to drive at the same speed. As soon as the differential lock is not required release the engage pedal D and as soon as the wheels are rotating at the same speed and not under load (i.e. on a slope) the lock will automatically release. IMPORTANT DO NOT ATTEMPT TO STEER THE TRACTOR WHEN THE DIFFERENTIAL LOCK IS ENGAGED. ALWAYS ENSURE THE DIFFERENTIAL LOCK IS RELEASED BEFORE MANOEUVRING IN A CLOSED AREA.
Page 5

Remove your foot from pedals A or B (as you would to stop normally) and then simply pull the parking brake lever C to the upright position - a P will be indicated on the dashboard display (Page 6 Fig. 11). When you turn off the engine, the natural braking of the hydrostatic system will add to the effect of the brake. Its like leaving your car in gear.

Cutter On/Off Switch
(Figs. 10 & 11)

The cutter switch controls the electromagnetic blade clutch. To switch the cutter on, push the switch and then release it, this will engage the cutter deck. To indicate that the Cutter Deck is engaged, the Cutter Deck Height Indicator will flash (Fig. 11). To stop the Cutter Deck, push the switch again. Although the Cutter Deck is automatically switched off when the engine is stopped or when the operator gets off the seat, it is not good practice to rely on these features, the Cutter Deck should always be switched OFF as soon as you have finished cutting and certainly BEFORE stopping the engine or getting off the tractor. The Cutter will only work whilst the operator is sat on the seat. NOTE: The headlights will flash whilst the Cutter Deck is running if they are not being used. If the headlights are in use they will not flash but function as normal.

Electric deck height adjustment (where fitted) The cutting height is adjusted by turning the rotary switch anti-clockwise to lower the deck and clockwise to raise the deck (Fig. 10). The height indicator on the electronic display (Fig. 11) shows the deck position (0 lowest to 9 highest). To get the best from this refinement use it to continuously adjust cutting height to suit ground and grass conditions. Do not make downward adjustments on the move until you are familiar with the height control, this will avoid scalping the lawn.

fig. 12 fig. 13

Manual Deck Lift (where fitted)

(Fig. 12)

Your Countax may be fitted with a manual deck lift. To operate, simply push the trigger in until the weight of the deck can be felt and pull back to the desired cutting height (numbered 1 -9). To lower, hold the trigger in and push forward. Exercise caution when operating lift lever.

Hour Meter (not applicable to C330 Mini) (Fig. 13)

Your tractor is fitted with an hour meter to assist you in adhering to the recommended service intervals. The hour meter only operates whilst the engine is actually running. Clocked hours will show up on the RPM display prior to starting the engine. Recommended service intervals are shown on page 25. NOTE: 50 hours of mowing at 5 mph equates to 250 miles of grass cutting!

fig. 14

Low Fuel Warning (not applicable to C330 Mini) (Fig. 14)

When the tractor is low on fuel a warning will appear where the RPM display is saying FUEL, this is a warning to tell you to fill up again as the tractor is about to run out of petrol or diesel.

Electronic Slope Alert (ESA) (not applicable to C330 Mini) (Figure 18a)
Should your tractor be fitted with 4WD it will have ESA. This is set to an angle of 25 at the factory. If this angle is exceeded then the display will flash 25 and a warning siren will sound. The exceptional traction of 4WD will allow you to cut in very slippery conditions, and it also allows the tractor to ascend very steep slopes. If the slope alarm sounds DO NOT attempt to cut or drive at a greater angle than the one you are on. As all terrains and conditions vary, great care should be maintained when operating the tractor. DO NOT take the tractor into an area where it could become unstable. On no account should slopes steeper than 25 be driven on.

Battery and Fuel (C330 MIni)

(Figure 18b)

The C330 Mini has a simple dashboard arrangement. The two red filtered squares show the charge (Left hand) and the fuel level (right hand). When the ignition is turned on the charge light is lit. The only time the charge light goes off is when there is a failure with charging. If this happens you should ring your nearest Countax dealer. When the fuel level is running low the fuel warning light will appear. The tractor will need to be refuelled A.S.A.P.

Using your Countax Garden Tractor

Adjusting the sweeper height
(Fig. 24)

Use the sweeper height lever to select the position appropriate to the conditions and the height of cut. TO GET THE BEST SWEEPING PERFORMANCE AND TO PRESERVE THE BRUSHES SELECT THE HIGHEST SETTING THAT WORKS start high and adjust down until the brushes start to collect (normally the middle adjustment hole). Do not set the brushes too low this will lead to scarifying and a very untidy finish as well as shortening brush life.

To tip cuttings (Tractors fitted with Electric Net)

(Figs. 15 & 16)

When it is full, raise the Collector to the transport position (Page 7, Fig. 15). Drive to your tipping area, reverse to the pile, then depress the PGC Net Empty Switch (Page 7, Fig. 16).

fig. 24

Standard grass collection

When cutting the grass and collecting follow these simple steps: 1. Always run the engine at maximum speed. 2. Lower the sweeper to the working position. REMEMBER: TO GET THE BEST SWEEPING PERFORMANCE AND TO PRESERVE THE BRUSHES, SELECT THE HIGHEST SETTING THAT WORKS. 3. Engage the sweeper drive. 4. Engage the cutter deck drive. 5. Lower the deck to the desired height of cut. 6. Drive forward at a speed that does not cause the engine speed to drop. REMEMBER: if the RPM display flashes below 2600rpm, there are two options: a) Reduce forward speed b) Raise the cutting height. Sometimes when cutting long grass or a paddock, it may be better to cut the grass and disperse the clippings directly to the ground. Alternatively remove collector net, fit the deflector accessory and spread the cut grass prior to final collection.

Page 11

Cutter decks
Mulch Mowing
Mulching can save time, avoids creating piles of rotting cuttings and feeds your lawn. When Mulch mowing it is necessary to observe certain rules: 1. Reduce the height of the grass by no more than 1/3rd its height in each pass. If the grass has grown long make several passes to achieve the cut height you require. 2. Run the engine at maximum speed. 3. Mow often, particularly in spring and early summer. Short clippings of 25mm (1) or less decompose more quickly. 4. If an unsightly residue of cuttings is being left increase the cutting height. 6. Vary the mowing pattern from cut to cut. 7. Always keep the underside of the cutting deck clean to ensure good grass flow. 8. Always check that the blades are sharp and in good condition never attempt to sharpen or replace them yourself.

fig. 25 Fig. 24

fig. 25a

High Grass Mulch Deck

(Fig. 25)

fig. 26

The real alternative when cutting long or paddock grass is the high grass mulch deck. When using the high grass mulch deck please ensure the following: 1. When cutting very tall grass set the deck at the higher settings 7-9. 2. Drive forward at a speed that does not cause the engine speed to drop. REMEMBER if the RPM display flashes below 2600rpm, there are two options: a) Reduce forward speed b) Raise the cutting height. 3. Regularly check the cutter deck drive belt tension in accordance with the instructions (Page 15).

fig. 28b

Rear Discharge Deck

(Fig. 28b)

The rear discharge deck acts similar to the mulch deck but allows the grass trimmings to be discharged out of the back of the deck so it can be easily collected using the sweeper & net. To enable this to work, the deck is set at an angle so the trimmings are thrown into the centre of the tractor.

COMBI Deck

(Fig. 28c)

This deck combines the mulch & the rear discharge all in one deck. The user has only to undo a handwheel and remove the back piece of the deck and it can be used as a rear discharge deck. This saves the time of switching decks.

Routine Maintenance
Engine Maintenance
Please refer to the engine manufacturers handbook enclosed with this manual. Connections & Terminals

Battery Maintenance

(Fig. 29)

The battery fitted to your tractor is a low maintenance unit. Should your battery require charging for any reason the maximum charge rate is 1.5 amps. If your tractor does not start refer to the troubleshooting section in this manual (page 22).

Cutter Deck Maintenance Removal of cutter deck (figs. 30, 31, 32 & 32a)
The Cutter Deck can be quickly removed for servicing or cleaning, or to give greater clearance when driving or towing over uneven ground. Follow this sequence: 1. Lower the cutting deck to its lowest position (See Controls Page 6). 2. De-tension the Cutter Drive Belt with the lever under the left running board (Fig. 30). 3. Remove the 3 securing pins from the front of the deck (Figs. 31 A, B & C) by undoing the Rue Clips (Figs. 32 & 32a) and removing them. 4. Remove the 2 securing pins from the back of the deck (Fig. 31 D and E). 5. Slip the cutter drive belt off the Engine Pulley. 6. Put steering onto full lock to ease deck out 7. Lift the linkage then slide the deck out 8. If you are going to use the tractor without the deck, remove the Securing Bar* (Fig. 31 F). 9. Remove the fifth wheel G. De-Tensioned

To Clean The Cutter Deck

Remove the deck as instructed, stand it on its side and hose off accumulated cuttings. DO NOT SPRAY WATER DIRECTLY ONTO BEARING HOUSINGS. To prevent a drop in performance it may be necessary to routinely check for this grass build up, particularly at the beginning of the season when the grass is lush and wet. It is best to regularly check and clean the Cutter Deck as often as possible, this can be done by either removing the Deck or raising the tractor safely on a ramp. * PLEASE NOTE: It is not recommended to use the tractor without a deck as this can make it unstable.

Routine Maintenance
Engine to Cutter Drive Belt Tension
The correct tension of the Cutter Drive Belt is critical. If incorrectly set it can lead to engine damage and invalidate the warranty. To check the tension put the deck in position 5 on the electric lift display. 1. Select a midway position on the belt, using a spring balance; apply a 2kg (4-5lbs) pull (Fig. 33). 2. Using a ruler or tape, measure the deflection achieved which must be 13mm (1/2). If more, the belt tension must be increased, if less decreased. To correct the tension, follow this procedure: 1. Release the tension on the belt by pulling the Belt tension lever (page 14, Fig 30) forward. 2. Taking Care not to burn yourself on a hot Exhaust, use a 17mm long reach socket to undo the half nut. 3. Once the half nut is loosened off, use a 19mm Long reach socket to undo the deck tension adjuster. Turn anti-clockwise to tension and clockwise to un-tension. 4. Having made the adjustment, tighten the half nut and re-tension the belt with the belt tension lever-then 5. Re-check the belt tension.

Transmission Oil Tank (C Series 4WD models only)

(Fig. 36)

This is located in the Tractor rear body and should be approximately half full when the machine is cold. This level will rise when the engine is warm as the oil expands. It should return to the half way point once the machine has cooled down. The oil should not need to be topped up in normal use. If a noticeable drop in the level occurs then your dealer should be contacted.

Troubleshooting (Cutting)
Cutter fails to start or cuts out when switched on
CHECK: 4 Are you on the tractor? Unless you sit on the seat, the safety switch cuts out the Cutter Deck. 4 That either the Cutter Switch or the Safety Switch on the seat is not faulty if so, call your dealer. 4 Is the battery low? The Clutch Engage Switch will only operate if the battery is well charged. 4 The Engine is running.

The Cutter seems to lose power and the Belt slips and overheats
CHECK: 4 That the Tensioner Rod is correctly applied (Page 14, Fig. 30). 4 That the Cutter Belt Tension is correct (See page 15). 4 That the Cutter Deck is not clogged with wet cuttings. 4 That the Cutter Drive belt is not worn.

CHECK: 4 That all tyres are inflated to their correct pressures see Specification pages 25-27 4 That the front axle is pivoting freely. 4 The deck brackets are moving freely and not locking up. 4 That the deck is level from side to side and back to front (See Cutter Deck Levelling). 4 That one or more of the cutter blades are not worn or damaged if this is the case, it is necessary to call your tractor dealer.

We do not recommend that customers attempt to change cutting blades themselves: remember that it is never worthwhile to have blades re-ground. It is cheaper and better to replace blades re-grinding is likely to affect the hardening of the blade and its balance. The Cutter Deck should be set so that it is parallel to the surface it is cutting with a maximum variation from side to side, or front to back of 3mm. Check this by placing the tractor on a hard level surface and measuring the clearance heights front to back and side to side with a steel ruler or tape, with the Cutter set one adjustment up from its lowest position.

Uneven cut (cuts shorter one side than the other)

CHECK: 4 That the tyres are all inflated to the correct pressures (See above). 4 That the front axle is pivoting freely. 4 That the deck brackets are moving freely and not hitching up. 4 That the side deck level adjustment is correct (Page 19).

If the Cutter Deck seems to require levelling, first check these other possible causes:
4 Are the tyres correctly inflated? If not, rectify using the figures on pages 25-27 as a reference. 4 Are the Cutter Deck Hanger Brackets (Page 18, Fig. 41) moving freely or are they hitching up. To check this, lift the Cutter Deck to its highest position and lift and rock it, watching to ensure that the brackets move freely if not, clean and lubricate. 4 Is the front axle pivoting freely? If not, it may require lubrication or adjustment. 4 Is there any impact damage that has bent or distorted the Deck or Suspension Brackets (a matter for your dealer)?

Cut is uneven or untidy in one or more sectors

CHECK: 4 That the Cutter Deck is levelled correctly front to back (Page 18). 4 That one or more of the blades are not worn or damaged if so, call your dealer.

Troubleshooting (Cutter Levelling)

The Cutter Deck should be set so that it is parallel to the surface it is cutting with a maximum variation from side to side or front to back of 3mm.

Levelling front to back

Check tyre pressure is correct first. If not inflate tyres. You need two people to level the deck one to lift the Deck while the other removes or relocates the adjuster Trunnion. 1. Ensure that the Anti-Scalp Wheels are all set to the same height if not, rectify (Fig. 40). 2. Lower the Cutter Deck to a position one above the lowest setting check levels with a ruler or tape. 3. Now locate the Front to Back Adjustment Rod to the right rear offside wheel, you will find the Trunnion (Fig. 41) that links the rod to the Deck Hanger Bracket. Both the Trunnion and the Rod are threaded and adjustment is achieved by rotating the Trunnion to in-effect lengthen the Rod. 4. To free the Trunnion, use a 17mm spanner or socket to remove the M10 Nyloc nut and washer and push it free. 5. Rotate the Trunnion to advance it up the Rod to pivot the back of the Deck. Rotate it the other way to lift the front. Adjustment is rapid, so try one or two turns first and relocate the Trunnion and secure then check the effect. Repeat and re-check if necessary. Trunnion

For best results, set the Anti-Scalp Wheels in the middle adjustment holes. If you are experiencing scalping, this can be minimised by setting the wheels in the lowest adjustment holes.

Troubleshooting (Cutter Levelling)

Levelling Side to Side
This adjustment is best done with the deck in a position three up from its lowest cut check the level both sides and levelling is then achieved by adjusting the left side (as you are sat on the tractor) of the deck at 2 points.

Manual Deck Lift A Series and old C Series

A

OLD deck level system: (A Series and old C Series) Rear adjustment (Fig. 42 or 42a)
Find the Deck Level Disc (Fig. 42 or 42a) near the back (near side) wheel. This has a concentric slot in which the Deck Levelling Rod is located. Using a 13mm spanner, loosen the M8 Nyloc nut (A) securing this stud just enough to permit some movement. Now lift or depress the Deck depending on the adjustment you wish to achieve. This will move the stud up or down the disc the higher up and nearer the centre of the disc the higher the deck. Check with your ruler or tape and having levelled the Deck at the rear, re-tighten the Nyloc nut.

Front adjustment (Fig. 42b)

Having levelled the rear of the Deck, check if the front is level. If not, find the Deck Adjustment Plate (Fig. 42b) which is forward of the Cutter Deck near the front (left) wheel. Before making adjustments, loosen the two sets of nuts and bolts (A & B). Using a 13mm spanner, loosen (upper) locknut (C). Now adjust the height by using a ratchet or spanner to turn the Nyloc nut (D) clockwise (up) to raise the Deck or anti-clockwise (down) to lower it. When level is achieved, tighten lock nut (C), re-tighten nuts and bolts (A & B). Raise and lower the cutter deck and then re-check level.

Troubleshooting (Grass Collecting)

Grass Collection (Fig. 44)
If your Collector is not picking up satisfactorily, check the following: 4 The PTO lever is engaged. 4 That the PTO pulley beneath the seat is turning if not, call your dealer. 4 That the Collector Belt is not reversed (if it is correct, the brush revolves against the forward direction of the tractor (Fig. 44). 4 That the Brush Height Adjustment Lever is not set too high or too low. 4 That there is not a build up of congealed grass on the leading edge of the Brush Guard. 4 That the Brush is not clogged. 4 That the Collector Belt is not slipping, if it is then adjust the tension or replace the worn or damaged belt. See Page 16. 4 That the Collector net is not clogged. If so, wash or brush with a stiff hand brush. 4 That the Brush is not damaged.

Troubleshooting (Tyres & Wheels)

Persistent flat tyres
Like all garden machinery, the most common cause of punctures are THORNS! Blackthorn, Hawthorn and Rose are usually at the bottom of the problem and will puncture any tyre not fitted with very expensive guards. There are less expensive ways to overcome this problem and it is advisable to check and avoid these possible causes: The rim of the wheel has been damaged causing the seal on the tube-less tyre to be broken. There are two solutions: 4 If the damage is significant it is necessary to order a new wheel from your dealer. 4 If you have Hawthorn, Blackthorn or Wild Rose in your garden this will puncture any tyre. It makes sense to check any area you intend to cut or drive over and to remove any branches.

fig. 45

If your tyres spin or lose grip, check:

4 That all tyres are inflated to their correct pressures (See pages 25-27). 4 Are you going too fast for the conditions?

Removal of front wheel (Fig. 45)

4 Apply Parking Brake. 4 Place chocks under the wheels that are to remain on the ground. 4 Remove the plastic hubcap. 4 Use a 19mm socket/spanner to loosen the wheel nut whilst on the ground DO NOT REMOVE. 4 Place a jack under the front axle at the jacking point Fig. 45 (on the side appropriate to the wheel that is to be removed). Jack the tractor up until the wheel to be removed is well clear of the ground. 4 Remove the wheel nut and washer and keep safe. 4 Taking care not to dislodge the tractor from the jack, pull the wheel off. Under the chassis
