Question 2

What is this rubbing noise at the clutch of the MH 360?

Accepted Answer

A rubbing or squeaking noise at the clutch during engagement can have several causes. According to the MH 360 manual, the clutch system operates via a control lever that gradually engages the blades - they should only start to turn from the midpoint of the lever's travel.

Possible causes:

The Bowden cable (drive cable) may be stretched, misadjusted, or lacking lubrication, causing friction during activation.
Insufficient lubrication of the transmission - check that the SAE 80W-90 oil level is correct (approximately 0.2 liters required). A lack of oil can cause rubbing noises when starting the clutch.
Worn or misaligned components in the engagement mechanism.

What you can check:

Visually inspect the condition of the Bowden cable - if it is stretched, damaged, or improperly tensioned, it should be readjusted or replaced.
Check the transmission oil level using the sump gauge and top up if necessary with SAE 80W-90 oil.
Ensure that the clutch lever moves without abnormal resistance.

If the noise persists after these checks, it is recommended to have the device inspected by an AL-KO service center, as this may indicate internal wear of the clutch or transmission mechanism.
