Cutting head
Removal
The wet unit for the blade guard must first be separated from the
machine. The easiest way to do this is to remove the spray nozzles
and handle from the blade guard. If the rear motor guard has been
removed, the easiest thing to do is to remove the hose from the
water valve and pull out the hose through the front guard.
1. Loosen the screws to the cutting head. (M8x42, 25–30 Nm)
2. Loosen the tension of the belt with the adjuster screw.
When refitting, do not forget to adjust the belt tension to the
correct level (inset).
3. Remove the screws to the cutting head. Remove the front belt
guard by pushing it forward.
4. Lift off the belt from the belt pulley and remove the cutting
head.
5. Remove the rear belt guard screws. (M5x25, 3–5 Nm)
6. Lift off the guard.
At this stage, the belt can be replaced.
Cutting arm
The K7000 has a cutting arm which is permanently fitted to the
motor and has brackets to the handle unit with vibration elements.
A damaged cutting arm can easily be replaced.
Remove the four screws around the belt pulley (M5x12, 7–8 Nm)
which are screwed into the motor. Remove the two screws to the
upper and lower vibration elements (M6x20, 5–6 Nm). The cutting
arm can then be removed.
Vibration elements
The inner screws on the two front vibration elements are connected
to a screw, Torx 27, from one side. A normal Torx 27 wrench is
too large to be passed in through the spring. The combination
wrench, supplied with the machine, is thinner and suitable for this
task. (5-6 Nm)
