Warning: The blades continue to rotate after disengaging
Drive control lever:
Engage the power drive by moving the lever slowly towards the handle bar. The lawnmower will start to move forwards. Release the drive control lever and the mower will stop.
Throttle control:
The throttle control lever adjusts the speed of the engine, the cylinder and the drive. Set the speed towards the ‘FAST’ position gradually. Set the speed to suit the conditions and the operators requirements.
How to Stop the Lawnmower
Warning: The blade and drive will not stop immediately. In the case of an emergency ‘STOP’ release both the cutting cylinder and drive control levers. The engine will continue to run but the cutting cylinder and power drive will stop.
For a planned stop:

1. Slow the engine speed by moving the throttle lever to the ‘SLOW’ position.
2. Release the power drive clutch gradually. The drive will slow down to a stop.
3. Release the cutting cylinder control lever. The cylinder blade will stop.
4. Turn engine switch to ‘OFF’ – the engine will cut-out. Turn the fuel valve to the ‘OFF’ position.

Fitting and Emptying the Grass Collector Warning: Turn the engine off before fitting or emptying the collector.
Fig. 27

Changing the Height of Cut
Warning: Switch off the engine and disconnect the spark plug connector before making any adjustments of maintenance.The height of cut is adjusted by turning the height control. The scale marked provides a guide to the cutting height set in mm. The height of cut operates by moving the position of the roller relative to the bottom blade.

• Turn the control knob clockwise to raise the cutting height.
• Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to lower the cutting height.

The ‘L’ marked are the scale indicates ‘Low’ for use with specific cartridge cassettes requiring the lowest operating height.
Cylinder to Bottom Blade Gap Adjustment
Warning: Switch off the engine and disconnect the spark plug connector before making any adjustments of maintenance. Wear safety gloves to protect against cuts from the blades.
The Fortis Cylinder mower cutting system is designed for efficient and precise cutting. To maintain the cutting precision follow the instructions below. The cylinder blade  should always cut cleanly and evenly when set correctly. The blades are a wearing item and as such will need periodic sharpening to maintain the cut precision.

• Empty the fuel from the tank and switch off at the engine switch
• Disconnect the spark plug connector.
• Tilt the mower backwards towards the handles

The cylinder blades should be adjusted so that they lightly touch the bottom blade. Test with paper at several positions across the bottom blade to ensure it is adjusted correctly across the width of the blade. Place the test paper between the cylinder and the bottom blade. The paper should cut cleanly and the cylinder rotates easily.
To adjust the gap between the cylinder and the bottom blade, wearing safety gloves:

1. Loosen the bolt on both sides of mower. Refer to red circles on Fig. 32 & Fig. 35.
2. Loosen nuts on the bottom of the adjustment screw. Refer to red circle on Fig. 33 & Fig. 36.
3. Turn the adjustment screw on both sides, so the cylinder blade to make contact with the bottom blade. The blade must only ‘just’ make contact, whilst still allowing it to rotate freely. Refer to red circles Fig. 34 & Fig. 37.
4. Re-tight nuts. Fig. 33 & Fig. 36.
5. Re-tighten bolts. Fig. 32 & Fig. 35.
6. Test the cutting action with paper as previously described. Should the paper not cut satisfactorily, the cylinder may need to be sharpened. Contact your local Cobra dealer.

Cylinder Blade Drive Belt Control Adjustment
Warning: Switch off the engine and disconnect the spark plug connector before making any adjustments of maintenance.
Following the adjustment to the blade settings, or as a regular maintenance procedure, the adjustment control should be checked and adjusted from time to time.

1. Remove side cover screws. Refer to red circles. Fig. 37.
2. Loosen lock nut. Refer to red circle. Fig. 38.
3. Adjust the cable tension until there is a 5-6mm up and down movement in the belt. Refer to red arrow. Fig. 39.
4. Re-tighten the lock nut. Fig. 38.
5. Refit the side cover and secure with the two screws. Fig. 38.

Drive Control Adjustment
Warning: Switch off the engine and disconnect the spark plug connector before making any adjustments of maintenance.
The drive control lever mechanism is adjustable to apply more or less tension on the drive belt.

1. Access the drive control cable adjustment by removing the two screws of the side cover.
2. Loosen the two lock nuts. Refer to red circles Fig. 41.
3. Slide the long bolt upwards until the belt has 1-2mm up and down movement.
4. Tighten the lock nuts. Fig. 41. Refit the side cover with the two screws.

Handle Position Adjustment The height of the handles may be adjusted to suit the operator.
At the lower section of the handle, the securing bolts should be loosened to adjust the angle of the handles. The side cover should removed to access the two bolts on this side.
Once the required height is set, secure the bolts on each side. Refit the side cover with the two bolts.
Lubrication and Maintenance
Warning: Switch off the engine and disconnect the spark plug connector before making any adjustments of maintenance.
Lubrication Points Regular maintenance is essential to keep your lawnmower performing optimally and ensure it operates safely. Routine lubrication of the following is required:

1. Height of cut adjuster knob – apply oil to the shaft. Fig. 45
2. The inner shaft of the front roller. Lubricate with oil. Fig. 45

SAFETY CHECKS, SERVICE & MAINTENANCE

Warning: Complete safety checks regularly. Read the engine manual.
Before starting to use the lawnmower complete safety checks, including checking guards, controls operate correctly (blade and drive stop when levers are released). Check the oil level and add if required. Check fixings are secure.
Clean the lawnmower with a cloth. Remove grass and dirt from the mower, but paying particular attention to bearings, pulleys and moving parts. Do not hose or pressure washer the lawnmower.
The lawnmower must serviced regularly. For normal homeowner use, the lawnmower should be serviced by a Cobra service dealer annually, however where the lawnmower is used more frequently ensure the lawnmower is serviced more regularly.
Refer to the engine manual for engine service intervals based on the hours of usage.

CHANGING THE CARTRIDGE CASSETTE

Warning: Switch off the engine and disconnect the spark plug connector before making any adjustments of maintenance.
The Fortis lawncare system has a total of 7 different cartridges, including the standard 6 bladed cutting cartridge provided with the lawnmower.
Lawncare professionals know that a beautiful lawn requires the right tools to maintain and cultivate the quality of the turf. Easily switch your lawnmower to scarify, dethatch, brush, verticut, and aerate. The 10 bladed cartridge is the ideal option for the finest lawns or professional sports playing greens and pitches.
